group of judges that believe that juveniles should not be sentenced to life in prison. Age is a factor in why Juveniles should not be sentenced to life in prison. As Paul Thompson states in his article Startling Finds on Teenage Brains from the Sacramento Bee, published on May 25, 2001 “ ...These frontal lobes,which inhibit our violent passions, rash action and regulate our emotions are vastly immature throughout the teenage years.” he also says that “The loss[of brain tissue] was like a wildfire,
“River Restoration Project Offers a Sprinkle of Hope” by Daniel Weintraub published by the Sacramento Bee provides strong ethos, logos, and pathos argument for the project.

Heinous crimes are considered brutal and common among adults who commit these crimes, but among children with a young age, it is something that is now being counted for an adult trial and punishable with life sentencing. Although some people agree with this decision being made by judges, It is my foremost belief that juveniles don’t deserve to be given life sentencing without being given a chance at rehabilitation. If this goes on there’s no point in even having a juvenile system if children are
“Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.”- Issac Asimov. Most people are cautious that the brains of teenagers are not fully developed yet, that is why juveniles are careless about the consequences of their crime. It is also why adolescents should be treated and tried differently than adults in the justice system. A decision was made in 2005; the Supreme Court has held juveniles under 18 who commits
In the city of Elk Grove they are many acts of racism targeting the black race. An article in the Sacramento Bee by Anita Chabria and Diana Lambert, stated that, “Francois said the N-word is commonly used on campus.

What do you think about a 16 - 17 year old in jail? On June 25, 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that Juveniles who committed murder could not be sentenced to life in prison because it violated the Eighth Amendment to ban on cruel and unusual punishment. However four justices strongly disagreed arguing that mandatory sentences rejected the will of American society that heinous crimes committed by juveniles should always be sentenced with a lifetime in prison. However from my point of view juveniles

A juvenile is defined as “physiologically immature or undeveloped” in the Merriam Webster dictionary. Throughout the years, laws have changed and teenagers who commit crimes are going to be tried as adults. This is a very big issue because many people have different opinions. Juveniles who commit adult crimes should be given a proper sentence based on the level of their crime because of the goals of the criminal justice system and the teen’s level of competency. The Criminal Justice System’s main
Standardized testing is defined as any form of test that requires test-takers to answer the same questions in the same style and is scored in the same way. But for students and educators all over the country, and all over the world, standardized tests symbolise a source of yearly stress. The use of standardized testing is not improving education in America, and should be abolished. It is expensive, time consuming, and misleading, which leads to student stress, improper teaching methods, and alienated

In his essay, “I Feel So Totally, Digitally Close to You,” Clive Thompson argues that the original conceit of the Internet was that it allowed people the ability to forged new identities for themselves on the World Wide Web, however, with the introduction of social media, this ability has become a hard, if not impossible, task to achieve. With constant updates of a person’s everyday life being presented to the world, it is difficult to manipulate a new identity overnight. Although I do agree with
adults are: the lack of mental capacity in adolescents, abusive homes, and peer pressure. Even though adolescents are thought to be more mature as they enter the teenage years, but according to starling finds on teenage brains by Paul Thompson (The Sacramento Bee) states that " in recent years teen-brain research is the finding that a massive loss of brain tissue occurs in teen years"(4); which means that the adolescent does not have he brain capacity to know the difference between right and wrong.

Many people might wonder what a typical person might feel about winning the biggest prize in their profession. Something like that for many becomes a life changing event. The Pulitzer Prize is a U.S. award for achievements in newspaper, online journalism, literature, and musical composition. The Pulitzer Prize was first created by Joseph Pulitzer in 1917. Fourteen titles have been given every year in journalism. Awards have been given out every year since 1917. Pulitzer was the founder of the
freeway protest in Sacramento, which was an attempt to create a social equality to prevent police brutality.
