Final Reflective

This semester in Writing in the Disciplines, was honestly a fun class. In other classes we do group work but here it was majority of the semester, and by working in groups, I met new people, i'm typically a shy person, keep to myself but by Dr. Kyburz recommending to come out of our comfort zone really helped me this semester. One project that really stood out to me was the Documentary Assignment, this project was very helpful because we had to analyze a film but it into chronological order, just pure facts. This will be an important skill I will need to have when I go into Law Enforcement. Dr. Kyburz stressed it very much that it is all about simple clean writing when it come to writing reports, just facts, not using language we don't need just being ourselves when we write. Also, I learned this semester that double checking everything is a very important skill to have, and to read out loud. Before I honestly would just write and turn it in i would not double check for grammar...

Boy Collects $1,000 In Birthday Money, Gives It All To Kids Of Fallen Officer For Father’s Day

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/boy-donates-birthday-money-fallen-officer-miss_n_7622124.html I thought this article was very touching because it always good to hear a kid doing something very good for other especially for kids who have lost their father on the job protecting and serving other. This kid for his birthday collect 1,000 dollars and instead of spending it on himself he went out of his way to make other kids father great by donating the money he collected at his birthday. With lots of negativity about police in the past few years its very good to hear that kids are still looking up to police or wanting to help people who have law enforcement family.

Mock Interviews

The mock interviews conducted in class, was probably one of the best projects I have witnessed in my collage career so far. At first when the assignment was introduced I was a little frighten because i had no clue how it was going to play out. In high school we did a similar project for our law class, but it was nothing compared to the one we did in college. The high school interviews went really bad because none of the students were actually trying, they did not take the roles, and basically half assed the project. While in the one we did, our classmates really put the effort in and took on the role great from, interviewers, to interviewees, they all played a great role. it was a fun cool experience. I think i found it helpful learning about the Reid technique before hand because we right away noticed Richard using that technique.

Chicago Violence and Chicago Police Arming themselves Military style

As we all know Chicago has a very high crime rate, and is very violent. Theres lots of gangs, murders, rapes, everything. a few years back, I read an article on how Chicago Police in typically "bad neighborhoods" were going to start arming very heavily with tactical vest, high power rifles, and assault weapons, it was basically going to be like the national guard. And at one point Trump said he would deploy the National Guard to the Southside of Chicago to stop the violence. In my opinion I think that it was a good thing that the Chicago Police Department are protecting themselves, and taking the appropriate measures for their safely. However, it's also sad that they have to do these things in the city because of the high crime rate. Now, deploying National Guard to the Southside is really not necessary, to me that is to extreme how are there going to be humvees patrolling the streets? what will the kids think? how can this affect them psychologically?

What do I want to do with my degree

Ever since I was young I knew I wanted a career in Law Enforcement, now almost being done with college I would like to either go into the United States Coast Guard, or the Marines. I want to go into one of these branches because I know with the training and experience I would get may give me a better shot into becoming a A.T. F agent. I want to go into the A.T.F (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and explosives) because these federal agency are in charge of stopping the illegal market on firearms, are in charge of stopping the sell illegal sell of alcohol, and tobacco as well of arson or and explosives. These branch is really goes under seen because many people focus on the FBI, CIA, DEA, but the ATF is also an important branch when it comes to the safety of U.S Citizens, stopping domestic terrorism.

Opinion on the future look of cars.

As the days go on, more and more concept cars keep coming out, as they keep coming with new ideas on cars they seem to have weird body designs, they look very futurist. As a guy that grew up liking, working on cars the look I like classic American muscle cars, and originals Japanese tuner cars. The cars back then would run on carbureted engines and would have this deep loud, engine noise that would leave everyone stunned. Now these new natural aspirated engines in cars are so quiet, barley have any power, in order to get any sound you have to modify headers, downpipes etc. yes that can be fun but having engine that sounds nice is an awesome feeling.    One of the favorite American Muscle is the 1987 Buick Grand National GNX this car has been proven to have a ridiculous amount of horsepower right out the factory. The type of body style this car has a  "G body" but it can seriously lay down a great quarter mile time.

The Reid Technique

The Reid Technique according to Douglas Starr is totally out of date. I agree with Starr because after reading and listening to the article Beyond Good/Bad Cop: A Look at Real Life Confessions there has been a lot of confession over the years that have been basically forced out of the suspects. The Reid Technique was challenged by a psychologist  named Salt Casein he labeled the technique as junk psychology. Casein then along with other psychologist started looking into the technique examining real life interviews and talking to people the technique. These psychologist agreed that this method was completely out dated and it was only confusing and making people feel uncomfortable.  Open ended questions according to Starr is the best way to get information from people. This technique is called PEACE (Preparation and planning, engage and explain, account, closure and evaluate). In this technique, you don't ask complicated questions, the question are simple like a conversion be...
