Zachary Shemtob, a teacher of criminal justice at Central Connecticut State University, and David Lat, a former federal prosecutor, in their essay “Executions Should Be Televised” (2011), discourse the issue whether the criminal execution process should be videotaped and televised or to be privately disclosed among the press and selected witnesses, in which both Shemtob and Lat affirm to broadcasting. Shemtob and Lat construct their claim by defining the transparency that arises when the public is notified of executions through the media and analysing concerns that may arise from misguided illustrations of broadcasting executions, such as relating them to a pet euthanization or obtaining a sympathetic feeling towards the executed felon who

Michael Milkovich was a wrestling coach at a high school in Ohio. J. Theodore Diadiun, who worked for a newspaper owned by Loraine Journal Co., was sued by Milkovich for libel. Athletes that Milkovich coached got into a fight during a competition, which resulted in him having to testify under oath about the event a number of times in front of the Ohio High School Athletic Association. After one instance of Milkovich testifying, Diadiun wrote an article in which he said that Milkovich lied under oath.

Hans Hubermann’s political ideology does not fall within “oppression” nor "tyranny.” In “The Accordionist” chapter, Death says Hans was “. . . not well-educated or political, but if nothing else, he was a man who appreciated fairness . . . A Jew had once saved his life and he couldn’t join a party that antagonized people in such a way . . . Like many of the Jews believed, he didn’t think the hatred could last, and it was a conscious decision not to follow Hitler” (Zusak 137).
In his short story “Defender of the Faith” Philip Roth paints the very interesting and layered character of Sheldon Grossbart through the character’s words and actions. Through his depiction of a training camp for American soldiers during the Pacific War Roth reveals Grossbart to embody a variety of personality traits including; childlike innocence with roots in actual religious beliefs and manipulative tendencies . These traits tend to pale in comparison to Sheldon’s selfishness however. These are the traits which I have attempted to portray in my rendering of Sheldon Grossbart.
"In a sixth grade classroom, brownish clumps of plaster dot the ceiling where there once were sound-absorbing tiles" (p. 137). “We don’t have encyclopedias in classrooms. That is for the suburbs” (p. 85). These words are not my own - I am quoting from Jonathan Kozol, a Harvard-educated activist who observed several school districts spanning the range of the socioeconomic spectrum, from industrial Camden, New Jersey, to tony Great Neck, New York.

This could be from his women troubles, his awareness of a divide in the E street band, or his abandonment issues stemming from his father or a concoction of these factors. One might think that sweeping praise from the top executive in his record company would have eased the make-or-break burden that Bruce lugged with him.
In Scotland’s case, the population was largely disheartened following the aforementioned 1979 devolution referendum and appointment of Thatcher. Regarding the “1979 devolution debacle”, Scotland had momentarily surrendered their fight for a national identity and accepted to remain part of the United Kingdom, which cultivated a feeling within Scotland that the citizens “had no voice.” (Welsh and Peddie 133) Although the “exasperation with politics” was evident, there was a greater issue with identity as reflected in Welsh’s text, Trainspotting (Welsh and Peddie 132). Specifically, Renton’s preceding colonization rant is enough to corroborate this phenomenon, however he also remarks, “Ah’ve never felt British, because ah’m not… Ah’ve never really felt Scottish either.”

The Warwick debate provides approaches to the study of nationalism. It laid the foundation for the development of two approaches to the study of nationalism.
