Boys Don’t Cry” (1999) feature film directed by Kimberly Peirce

August 31, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

Writer must be able to get movie.

Assignment questions for film Boys dont Cry
Sexuality and Violence
Discuss Any Criminal justice theories that apply.

The discussion question should help you to formulate your ideas, hypothesis and reflections. In other words, you need to write two three paragraphs of reaction to a specific theme, topic, or characterization common amongst assigned film and readings.  DO NOT summarize or critic the film. Your focus should be on the major themes in the film. By using the discussion questions, it is expected that you will be able to identify main themes that connect assigned film to the readings. The assignment will illustrate your understanding of the material.

1.    Many people fantasize about being somehow different than who they are (e.g., thinner, more glamorous, more appealing, more rich).  When is difference dangerous? When might the price be worth it?

2.    Discuss the social implications of how departure from the norm can inspire fear and revulsion. Are there circumstances in which such departures are admired? What accounts for the difference in responses? Look at both the film Boys Dont Cry and also the reading by Spelman & Minow (Thelma and Louise) to answer this question.

3.    What kind of community is Falls City? Is it one that tolerates violations of gender roles and expectations?

4.    The character, Brandon Teena, seems desperate for acceptance in a world typically hostile to what s/he represents.  What accounts for the lack of acceptance?

5.    Not all people in Brandons world were unwelcoming. What differentiated the people who were loyal to Brandon from those who were not?

6.    Was Hilary Swank able to create a character for whom the audiences had great empathy and likeability?

7.    How did the criminal justice system respond to the events? What role does homophobia play? How does the paramilitary, macho nature of policing contribute to homophobia?

8.    What do the characters John and Tom have in common? Are their characteristics reminiscent of other kinds of offenders?

9.    Why is violence motivated by homophobia and heterosexism often considered to be the only culturally legitimated from of hate crime in the U.S.?

10.    What is the homosexual panic defense? Does it fit with John and Toms motivations for their rape and murders? How is this defense an extension of traditional blaming the victim judgments?

11.    Do you think there are other places or people who would be more accepting of Brandon Teena? If so, what accounts for the difference in responses?

What are some of the challenges and benefits of managing a diverse workforce?

Future technologies to aid airborne law enforcement

August 31, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), History

The future of airborne law enforcement is as exciting as the history of the professions past.
With miniaturization and cost efficiencies, some of the technologies that were once out of
reach to assist airborne law enforcement better perform its missions are now accessible. While
technologies such as Forward-Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) sensors and Night Vision Goggles (NVG)
have been in use for a number of years, the cost and size of these sensors are shrinking.

Smaller, less expensive or, on the opposite spectrum, larger, more expensive airframes are
being used in airborne law enforcement. Perhaps the most game-changing technology for
airborne law enforcement, since the introduction of the small turbine engine for helicopter use,
will be the introduction of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

Researching any of these technologies will place you at the leading edge of the airborne law
enforcement profession. Remember, as with almost any technology, especially with regards to
surveillance, there are benefits and drawbacks. If you discuss sensors and/or platforms to
deploy sensors, a discussion of the Fourth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution should be
included.

Fukushima incident physics calculations

August 31, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Natural science

Essay on the 2015 Fukushima nuclear accident (see posted instructions). Use the essay template, but this time the limit is 2 pages: the first page for your actual essay with the key results and the second page to show in detail the calculations you did. (Hint: A nuclear power plant is a heat engine. Its thermal power is the total power it produces from fission. The electrical power output is then the thermal power multiplied by the efficiency – which you can calculate from the Second Law of thermodynamics.)
