NCIS is like a more dramatic, action packed, and deadly episode of Scooby Doo. The show takes place in the NCIS headquarters in Washington D.C., and follows a team of special agents throughout their personal lives and the cases they take on. This crime fighting team, according to the most recent season, consists of lead special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs(goes by Gibbs), former secret service agent Caitlin Todd, Special agent Anthony DiNozzo, former Baltimore homicide detective and M.I.T. graduate Timothy McGee, former NSA analyst Eleanor Bishop, and the head forensic scientist Abby Scuito. This elite team of highly qualified professionals must prove themselves emotionally, mentally, and physically to solve each and every case at hand while we, …show more content…
Each episode starts out with a brief video that recaptures all of the events from previous episodes. Directly after the recap video, the setting switches to the NCIS office, and shows all of the special agents on the team arriving to work. There is a usually a brief moment where the agents, DiNozzio, McGee, and Bishop, have time to talk about their personal lives before Gibbs tells them the assigned case. After the case is assigned, everyone grabs their stuff and heads out to the crime scene to gather evidence, create a timeline, and interview witnesses. Once all of the initial evidence is collected, they take it back to Abby, at NCIS, to do forensic testing. They then take Abby's results and start to solve the case gradually. Every episode basically follows this format. The sequence itself, makes sense in the real world. This is probably, or is at least believable, that a real NCIS special agent would have a similar day. The sense of reality is also incorporated throughout the entire season because many pieces of the plot overlap in many episodes. Most of these factors tend to relate to events in the characters lives and to the setting, but it is all still vital to the fabrication of reality. For example, it makes sense that the characters are still in Afghanistan pursuing a terrorist if in the previous episode they were in Afghanistan and failed to catch the terrorist. Furthermore, the overlaps act as a cliff hanger for the next episodes that leave you asking why and how? Believe me. It will be hard to just watch one episode, and not want to watch another. It is so obvious how assiduous the writers are in incorporating every little, painstaking detail to ensure that the episodes seem true to real life. The overall fabrication of reality
Plot is defined as, "the authors arrangement of incidents in a story it is the organizing principle that controls the controls the order of events (Meyer,64)." The element of plot is heavily relied on in the short story, "The Killings" by Andre Dubus. The plot which is completely made inside the imagination of an author (Meyer,64), gives the audience important insight to people, places, and events in the story (Meyer,64) . "The Killings" provides a somewhat conventional plot pattern, where the character is confronted with a problem and is then led into a climax, which late leads to the resolution of the story (Meyer,65). The conventional plot is easy to follow and serves as a basis for movies and other forms of fictitious entertainment (Meyer,65). This simple, yet effective plot makes the story easier to follow and easier to understand. The plot in The Killings also includes usage of flashback as a tool for the audience to fully understand the backgrounds of the characters. This type of organization serves as a basis for the entire story and has the most significance in "The Killings". .

Research by Benny Andrews Andrews wanted to express black experience through his art, but he found it a very difficult thing to do. He was using nonfigurative expressionism, which became a personal movement for him. Andrews wanted to convey himself in a different way from other artists in order to create his own exclusive personality. I think his works are delicate, and cherished. He is a visual artist, writer, and teacher.
Before we look at whether James Moloney effectively uses characterisation to convey Aboriginal issues we must look at the issues themselves. In Dougy, the issue of black and white prejudice is strongly present in the plot. The stereotyping of Aborigines and white Europeans play an important role in the events and the outcome of the story, as is individuality and the breaking of the stereotypes. The book also touches on the old Aboriginal superstitions that are still believed in by some today, though one of such superstitions plays an important role in creating the mood of the resolution. These issues impact most heavily on the character Gracey.

Evidence analysis and ranging is the most crucial stage of investigation. The success of the case exposure lies in the gradual evidence research and collecting prior to the laboratory analysis. The CSI systematically makes his way through the crime scene collects all potential evidence, tagging, logging and packaging so it remains intact on its way to the lab. Depending on the task breakdown of the CSI unit he may or may not analyze the evidence in the lab.
People change over time, and no past history sets the future in stone. Developmentalists divide life into different segments based on age known as growth stages (Berger, 2009). Each stage affects the others causing development at every stage to build upon the other (Berger, 2009). Development does not follow a straight line, it instead moves up and down, back and forth, and it moves at different speeds (Berger, 2009). Although there are several theories of development, and it would be remiss to subscribe to only one; however for the purpose of this paper, I will focus on Erik Erikson’s Theory of Initiative versus Guilt; Industry versus Inferiority; and Identity versus Role Confusion. I also prefer to take an eclectic approach in the application of counseling theories and techniques; however for the purpose of this paper I will utilize three different therapies for each stage of development.
The procedures depicted of the criminal justice system on television are complex, inaccurate, and implausible portrayals of what actually occurs. These shows do not show the planning, timing, and effort that is put into the maintenance of a crime scene. Investigators show up, take some photographs, and continue to the lab for results in a matter of minutes (Forensic Science Degree). Television leaves out the uneventful procedures that are essential in a real crime scene. They also neglect to show how much time is spent on each case, which can take months or even years to finish. There are many techniques and procedures which seem to be forgotten or simplified in the shows. Crime scenes require a variety of people, including the skills of photographers, sketch artists, evidence recorders, and other team members. Intricate notes and sketches of the crime scene give all of the details requ...

Do you want your lives to be successful? If this question is given to everyone, they cannot give a clear definition of what the ‘successful’ means. Everyone dreams that their lives to be successful in today’s society. It is important to take a step by step to achieve one’s goal. Before taking steps to achieve goal, it is necessary to clearly identify what is my goal, how I am going to achieve the goal, and how I am going to live after that. Unfortunately, most people do not know exactly what their goal is. Actually, dreams and goals are the reasons why we live today, and motivating individuals to work hard to achieve it. From the book, Two Badges, Mona is a protagonist in the book. She is one of the people who chasing her dream and look forward to reach her goal as a successful police officer. There were many obstacles before achieving her dream as a police officer such as her childhood background, environments, and people around her.
Each new episode features a new murderer or a new serial criminal committing a different crime. It is simply unrealistic to believe that the team encounters a different case in every episode. Although it seems blatantly obvious now, thousands of viewers swallow the false information released by the show. The team flies out to a city and quickly begins its work trying to figure out who the criminal might be. They do their best to create a sort of “profile” for each new criminal, which includes an age, a height, a weight, and a personality type. They use the help of the public, to find and identify potential suspects. This in turn, engages the audience in the
CSIs must photograph/sketch crime scenes, take measurements, make observations, testify against criminals in court, and collect, pack, label, document, and analyze evidence (Career Cruising). All of these tasks CSIs must complete, require them to handle a variety of tools including: cameras, tripods, flashlights, notepads, utensils to collect physical evidence, measuring tapes, rulers, microscopes, fingerprinting kits, and even guns in some cases (Career Cruising). CSI agents collect to different types of evidence, when they investigate a crime (Byrd). The first type of evidence is testimonial evidence, which is the answers CSIs questioning suspects and witnesses are given (Byrd). Physical evidence, which is the other type of evidence, is any type of three-dimensional evidence collected at a crime scene (Byrd). Although different CSI teams from different areas of the world can consist of multiple branches, including: detectives, technicians, medical examiners, scientists, and lab analysts, they still use forensics, which is science and technology, to investigate crimes (Zullo). There is always crime, but when there are no current cases; CSIs go back to old/previous cases (McFadden).
