Since Richard was only sixteen years when the incident occurred. At this age, adolescents are still developing their cognitive and emotional skills, and charging them as adults may not be appropriate. The justice system should take into account their age and consider the possibility of rehabilitation, rather than punitive measures. Furthermore, Richard had no previous incidents this severe, and it would be unfair to judge him based on one mistake he made as a teenager.

According to The National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s article on the Impact of Complex Trauma “ A child who feels powerless or who grew up fearing an abusive authority figure may react defensively and aggressively in response to perceived blame or attack…” (). Once Perry’s father snatched the biscuit out of his hand he responded aggressively because he felt attacked by his fathers action, thus causing him to act irrationally and impulsively by choking his father. On pages 43 and 44 Willie-Jay says to Perry, “ You are strong, but there is a flaw in your strength, and unless you learnt o control it the flaw will prove stronger than your strength and defeat you.

Children are still learning and making mistakes every single day. They are in a transition to adulthood but they are not yet adults. Frequently, in juvenile cases it seems as though the prosecutors want to throw the child into an adult world just because they made one adult mistake. Since children are being forced into the adult world, they can be mistreated simply because a child is defenseless and vulnerable. Charlie illustrated this fact to a great extent when he is too terrified to talk to even Bryan, but eventually Bryan got through to Charlie, “‘There were three men who hurt me on the first night.
Question#1 Some people might think that abandoned, “ghetto” sites have become useless, uninspiring, invaluable and should be demolished to create a building in which people could inhabit or use with a purpose. Although, that is not always the situation, some places could be transformed into a building that is advantageous to all.

The Sodastream video failed because it was predictable, it overtly endorsed the brand, and was ineffective in its critique of the way most videos go viral. It was also ineffective in advertising the brand as an underdog when calling out the big names (Coke and Pepsi). The easiest way to analyse the pitfalls of this ad is to compare it against a similar product competing in the same channel with a comparable ad but an entirely different level of success: Smartwater. First of all, Smartwater was sly in endorsing their brand and creative in the way they critiqued what is popular and trending in the realm of viral marketing.

Artwork is all around the world, but is it really worth the resources and time for it? In the essay “Is Art a Waste of Time?” by Ryhs Southan he discusses the purpose of art and explains the group, Effective Altruism. The main argument is that Effective Altruism do not agree with using resources and time on artwork. Effective Altruism is against artwork the resources, and time it uses up that do not contribute to the poor.
Even children have the capability to act and think the way as an adult would. Juveniles need to be held accountable for their actions because it was their actions that caused for them to be put in such a situation. 13 year old Derek King and his 12 year old brother, Alex, were being charged of bludgeoning their father, Terry King, to death. In the book, “Angels of Death,” by Gary C. King stated, “I hit him once and then I heard him moan and then I was afraid that he might wake up and see us, so I just kept on hitting him... I threw the bat on the bed, lit the bed on fire because I was scared of the [evidence] and everything.
