Located in France, Paris, Charlie Hebdo, (French for Charlie Weekly), is a French satirical weekly magazine that includes cartoons, polemics, jokes, and reports.

The magazine is best known for publishing cartoons mocking religion and religious extremism.

They printed numerous cartoons which were anti racism/xenophobia; that mocked and satirized the far right as bigots and racists. As long time reader and Frenchman, Olivier Tonneau pointed out in his excellent article, The National Front and the Le Pen family were in fact their primary targets above all others. Next came bosses, politicians and the corrupt. Finally they opposed organized religion. ALL organized religion. They didn't hate or abuse or target any one group or religion. They did however mock ALL systems and organizations and individuals of power - from political to religious to everything in between. They were satirists, and all people, systems and organizations should be open to criticism and mockery (so long as it sticks within the laws of the land). They were democratic in their ridicule and satirization. No one was exempt. To do otherwise would have been the hypocritical. Equal rights also means equal treatment.” ("Charlie Hebdo: They're Not Racist Just Because You're Offended." The Huffington Post UK. Ed. Lliana Bird. 15 Mar. 2015. Web. 10 Mar.
What man is so cold-hearted to murder a baby just to try to acquire some money? Charles Lindbergh Jr. was kidnapped in attempts to get some ransom money from his wealthy father, the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh. The murder of the child almost seemed to be an accident and that it was a slip up in the plan to kidnap the child. The man that all evidence points to and that was convicted was Richard Hauptmann, but a man named John Knoll might have been the mastermind behind the kidnapping and murder Charles Lindbergh Jr.
Doesn’t equality mean equal? The world gets offended at everything, but wants to continue to judge people based off of the same thing that offends them. If an immigrant goes into an airport, they will get searched—no doubt. If a white man walks into an airport, his chances of being flagged down are slim-to-none. Everyone should be treated with equal rights and respect.

A day that was supposed to be happy turned in seconds. People were injured or killed. Family members were devastated. The Boston Marathon was supposed to be a fun and exciting day for people watching and for the runners. We shouldn’t take every moment for granted, because you never know when it might be your last day or what we might consider "normal." April 15th 2013, will always be a day remembered in history.
The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri became a controversial media sensation. The shooting created uproar and mistrust towards police officers. Many believed the shooting was unjustified and even an act of racism on the behalf of the police Officer Darren Wilson. The Department of Justice issued an investigation in order to understand the basis of the shooting and to decide whether or not to charge Darren Wilson in the shooting. Despite the evidence and the investigation which portrayed the shooting as an act of self- defense, the shooting still remains controversial.

Crime manifests itself in various ways in society and oftentimes difficult to pinpoint what drives people to commit certain actions. The Columbine shooting was a particular incident that ended in tears and suffering which resulted in numerous research as to what was going through the minds of these young individuals at the time of the shooting. Therefore, this paper will analyze specifically the role of differential association- reinforcement as altered by Akers in propelling Dylan Klebold to commit such heinous act, while also giving credit to Edwin Sutherland for first formulating the framework of differential association.

...deny anyone with jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws and yet being being pulled over cause they are black is “equal”? To agree with modern day society there is a need to tighten security and be alert against all types of crimes and acts of terror. But being picked on only because one’s skin color and/or background is just morally wrong. It is true that many races stick to one type of crime and it is alright to profile a group belonging to the same ethnic background, but not every single person should be held accountable for a crime committed by very stupid, and idiotic individuals. People should be able to live freely and not be in fear of being singled out, and despite there being laws and actions taken by the government to prevent racial hate crimes the biggest and hardest step is to change people's mindset and prove that not everybody is a guilty party.
...itism and attempting to appeal to ultra-nationalist sensibilities there is a definite racist element to their discourse. Such racism is evident in the National Front’s stance against immigration where they argue that Arab Islamic immigrants are unlikely to assimilate on the basis of the alien nature of their culture and in the idea that immigration should be banned and the rights of French citizens be made a national priority. Whilst attempts have been made to make this stance appear more moderate and in line with popular discourse in recent years, such as by aligning anti-immigration with cultural incompatibility these arguments simply attempt to mask the true nature of the National Front’s policies. Despite attempts to focus on other elements of party policy it is clear that underneath the rhetoric of Marine Le Pen the National Front is inherently a racist party.
Jack the Ripper, the Zodiac Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, the BTK Killer. The names and assumed names of these cold-blooded serial killers are forever branded into the cognizance of people everywhere. This is mainly due to the mass media coverage, including newspapers, movies, television specials and books. This media coverage brought to light that these killers were, on the surface, normal, successful, attractive, productive members of society – that is, until the time that their heinous crimes came to be discovered.
