I could die. I mean I really could, and who would find our bodies? And if they did find my dead rotting carcass I wonder what the autopsy would say? Mauled by an overly aggressive bear? Attacked by a massive furry canadian moose? Ok, maybe I was being a bit forward but after hearing news about another boy scout who had died at Philmont Scout Ranch due to a flash flood. These ideas and many more (even more gruesome) populated my subconscious and conscious state of mind. Northern Tier is no easy feat. It’s not as if someone can just say “Oh yeah let's do that next weekend!” Oh au contraire! It took months of planning to go on our Northern Tier trek in the Great White North (Canada). Northern Tier is a Boy Scout high adventure camp in Canada that …show more content…
They take you on an underground mine tour and you learn a “ton”, see what I did there? So we exited the park a few hours later and within an hour or two we arrived at the Charles L Sommers Northern Tier base. There we learned more about the trip and what was laid ahead of us. We also learned why a mass genocide of all mosquitoes must be executed. THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! The next morning we set off and I saw just how difficult this trip would be. We had to flip a canoe onto our shoulders, and being as scrawny as I was sure didn’t help. We also had to learn about all the gear we were bringing along with us. We set off after a few hours of training with all our gear in our canoes and got on the water to begin the hard part of the adventure. I sat Duff that first half of the day. And for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term it means to sit in the middle of the canoe dying of boredom as two other people in the stern (back) and bow (front) paddled. Okay maybe I’m not cutting it enough slack. As Duff you are also supposed to help navigate as you are the only person on the boat who has their hands free. So as I sat there feeling useless, Griffin and our Guide Matt were paddling away. We

The Greenland Natives were killed around 1000 A.D and many assumed that Leif Erikson was the murder. However, the time that this occurred Erikson was around the age of 8. How could an 8 year old kill all those natives? The answer is that he didn’t kill them, his father did. Erik the red was Leif’s father and the culprit of the Greenland Native’s deaths. Some people may have associated Leif with his father or just thought Leif did it all. But according to Saga Of Erik The Red, c. 1000 Red did it all.

We find out about this traumatic experience when Ferdinand Bruckner comes into the film. Bruckner, Hans’ former captain, was responsible for killing hundreds
It was our fifth day in the Philmont Scout Reservation in New Mexico, the halfway point of the trek. I as the Crew Leader was responsible for the other 11 members of the crew, including 4 adults. I was in charge, and amazingly the adults rarely tried to take over, although they would strongly advise me what to do in some situations. Phil, with the exception of me, the oldest scout and the Chaplain for the trip, was my second. Together we dealt with problems of making sure everyone carried the right amount of stuff in their pack to who had to cook and cleanup each day. The trip had gone well so far, no injuries, and the worst problem had been a faulty backpack. As I walked I thought about the upcoming campsite. Supposedly this one had running water from a solar powered pump—so had the last night’s site but the tank was too low to use for anything but cooking because the of how cloudy it had been of late. But today was bright and shinny, and hot, so I didn’t think there would be a problem.
On the afternoon of September 1st, 2015, Illinois Police Lieutenant Joe Gliniewicz radioed in from the Fox Lake area saying he was exiting his patrol car to check on a few suspicious men. Not long after, the officer was found shot dead at the scene, he had one bullet in his vest, and the other hitting close to the heart. Officer Gliniewicz’s belongings were scattered at the scene, which made it seem like he was struggling at the time of his death. However, investigators came to the conclusion that Gliniewicz staged his suicide to make it look like he was murdered. Apparently, he was living a double standard life for over 20 years.
The sentencing of underage criminals has remained a logistical and moral issue in the world for a very long time. The issue is brought to our perspective in the documentary Making a Murderer and the audio podcast Serial. When trying to overcome this issue, we ask ourselves, “When should juveniles receive life sentences?” or “Should young inmates be housed with adults?” or “Was the Supreme Court right to make it illegal to sentence a minor to death?”. There are multiple answers to these questions, and it’s necessary to either take a moral or logical approach to the problem.

Something happened my sophomore year of high school that little did I know would change my perspective, not only of myself, but life in general. I was looking for something new and exciting to enhance my high school existence and decided to give the Criminal Justice Club a try. I was familiar with the advisor of the club, but knew that the club had astigmatism for attracting those students who were just looking for something easy to do. I knew about the criminal justice system, but only what they show on Law and Order. However, I immediately fell in love, not only with the club but the entire prospect of Criminal Justice. I stepped into the club as if it were a place I belonged and easily became a leader. I was able to learn things the TV shows

The next day I woke with no belief that I was still alive. I didn't know where was I going to go because that one guard saw my face and I am pretty sure he knows who I am now. I had to disguise myself but I didn't know how. Except for shaving my hair. My beautiful, beautiful hair. I didn't want to cut my hair but I had no choice to. It was the only way I was going to live and not be eliminated or die in whatever way the army men kill you if you disobey their rules. Of course I didn't trust Zachary to cut my hair because we were buds and buds jack with each other. I didn't trust Frederick that much either because I didn't know him that much but he was the adult so I made him get it. He was really worried that he was going to hurt me but then
Michael Sanders, a Professor at Harvard University, gave a lecture titled “Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do? The Moral Side of Murder” to nearly a thousand student’s in attendance. The lecture touched on two contrasting philosophies of morality. The first philosophy of morality discussed in the lecture is called Consequentialism. This is the view that "the consequences of one 's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct.” (Consequentialism) This type of moral thinking became known as utilitarianism and was formulated by Jeremy Bentham who basically argues that the most moral thing to do is to bring the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest number of people possible.
