Lifeboat.

Survival

Read the following selections.  Your group must decide who will be included in the group of survivors from a nuclear. 

While holding a neighborhood block party at your home you learn that the United States has been the victim of a wanton and deliberate nuclear attack.  You had the foresight to install in your backyard a bomb shelter that will hold an additional seven people besides your immediate family.  Because of the early hour, only ten of your guests have arrived at the barbecue.  You can save only seven of the ten people.  Remember the ones that are not selected will almost certainly die.  You must assume that your group will be the only survivors of this nuclear disaster.  It will become your responsibility to reestablish society / civilization on the planet.  If you do not choose only 7, everyone will die.

The guests include

1. A 22 – year – old white female who is a high school dropout.
2. A 26 – year – old Hispanic female who can no longer have children.
3. A 31 – year – old ex – Green Beret who was court marshaled and dismissed from the U.S. Army for crimes against the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  Also he pronounces that he will not go into the bomb shelter without his cache of military assault weapons.  He is also an avid supporter of the N.R.A.
4. A 40 – year – old African – American male who is very militant.
5. and 6 – A 33 – year – old married couple.  The wife is in need of a liver transplant and will not live longer than 3 months.  The husband refuses to abandon his wife.  You must take both or neither.  They are both qualified judges.

7. A 41 – year – old real estate tycoon who is a cross – dresser.
8. A 30 – year – old aspiring country western singer who is disabled.
9. A 36 – year – old crack addict who is pregnant.
10. A 68 – year – old revivalist / preacher.

Who does not get to come into the bunker? Why?

1. The 22 year old who is a highschool dropout. Taking in consideration that the person is a dropout, they must not take life to seriously. And they more than likely don't have much to offer to the world. The most important thing someone can have is an education... and it is the easiest thing to obtain, and if this person can't even do that... they should not be able to go into the bunker.

2. The 36 year old who is a crack addict and pregnant. This women obviously doesn't care too much about herself to get wrapped up in drugs. And if that isn't bad enough, she now expects to take care of another human being? She should not be able to go into the bunker. It's a shame that the baby must die too though.

3 The 31 year old who is an old ex. He is already unliked by authorities since he was dismissed from the U.S. Army for crimes he commited. And he also wants to make things difficult by not going into the bomb shelter unless he is allowed to take his weapons along. Therefore, he should just be left out.

Sociopath?

I believe that it is rare to find a true sociopath. However, I do believe that some exist. How else could anyone kill hundreds of people and not feel a thing? There is only one way that is possible... and that is for them to be completely crazy.... like a sociopath. But are they born like that? I honsetly don't think so. No one comes into this world as a child... a tiny little innocent baby... having the desire to want to kill people. Especially, people they don't even know. Life experiences shape someone into a killer. Sure, some have more potential of killing than others. Every killer has something messed up in their mind. Imagine what is missing inside of a sociopaths mind...

Should someone be locked up just because one sees the possiblity of that person being a sociopath? Well... no. However, the person should be watched daily. So that they don't cause any harm to anyone. You never want to find out that the person truely is a sociopath when they already killed 20 people, even 1. Therefore, this person should be examed monthly and must attend classes to help whatever is protraying them as a sociopath.

This world is a crazy place, with crazy people. People who are out of their minds. People who feel no pity. People who feel no care. People who feel no love. People who feel no feelings, what so ever.

Mumia Abu Jamal .

Should someone's political beliefs be held against them in a trial? Not really held against them but it does give you a sense of who the person really is. Is solitary jail time humanitarian? And should it matter if someone is on Death Row? Solitary Jail is only right for one who you know for sure, and can prove, did the crime. Otherwise, this punishment should not be used because it really does mess up someone's mind. How many appeals should someone on Death Row get? Well, I believe that it shouldn't be limited. It should be as many as it takes because what if one more could sabe an innocent life? And the major question.... Did Mumia do it? I don't believe he did it because their is so many false tesmonies that he did it - proven false. However, there are a lot of true testmonies that he didn't do it - witnesses. And plus, you can tell what Mumia is saying is coming from his heart. Therefore, I don't believe he killed the officer, just simiply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Stanford Prison Experiment.



This experiment, I believe, did not capture it's main purpose. Which was to see how prisionment effects a person during and after released. They selected random people with no training to be guards... therefore, they acted to what THEY thought a guard should act. You can only imagine what group of college boys would do to other group if they were in control and none had any say in the matter. Needless to say, the experiment went down a bad path. It went to extreme when it came to correcting bad behavior from the prisoners.

Now the question is if I still feel that people should go to jail? And the anwser is yes. Jails are not as bad as the Standford Prison was. It's not allowed, it's against the law. In the experiment, the guards had no training. In real life, guards do. In the experiment, the prisoners did nothing wrong. In real life, prisoners commit crimes... and still aren't treated as badly as those in the experiment.

The Standford Prison Experiment did not prove anything about the effects of a person who spends time in a REAL jail, because it wasn't a real jail. However, what it did prove is that people can adapt to roles and hurt others because of the role.

Absolute truths about deviant behavior.

The truth of the matter is that, there are really no absolute truths about deviant behavior. Why? Because deviance is "in the eye of the beholder" so to speak.

 My Top Ten Absolute Truths About Deviant/Criminal Behavior

1) Abortion. If a person takes the responsibility of sex lightly that does not give them the right to be a murder. Many women waste lives each year to make their lives easier.

2) Rape. Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses  violence to take control over another human being. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member.

3) Stealing. One should work for what they want and not simply grab from those around them.

4) Reckless driving. You are indangering others with your carelessness and could possibly cause death to others or even yourself.

5) Neglect of animals. Animals have feelings too and should have the right to proper care.

6) Child abuse. Children need close, supportive, relationships with parents. How a person behaves as an adult reflects back apon how he or she was raised.

7) Identity theft. In simple terms, this is taking away of one's life little by little by creating a duplicate of another human being.

8) Murder. Taking away of anothers life for no legit reason is obviously not okay.

9) Lying. Not just those little white lies... but when you get to a point where you can't control yourself... and you actually make yourself believe your own lies. Lying destroys relationships and should not be accepted.

10) Drug abuse. Not only are you hurting yourself, but you are hurting those around you.

Change of Mindset with Poverty.

"Why help out other countries, when our own people are losing their jobs and going homeless?!" You've heard it before, right? I thought the same thing. But here's the thing... our worst homeless person in America  is considered very lucky to other countries. No matter what, we can always have access to water - main essential requirement to surivive. Other countries do not have this oppurtunity. Also, have you ever looked at the body shape of America's homeless compared to other countries? There is a major difference... MAJOR. It's sad... really, when our people can sit back and say " Why bother with those other people? ". Seriously, get a heart...

Now, tell me. Can you see the difference?
