South by Southwest

OPINIONS/REFLECTION/PREDICTIONS: HOW did it make you feel? What did it make you think? This story made me feel very nostalgic  because i know that one day I will go through the same process of discovering myself as an individual. It made me think that many people try to find the answer to existence by living life to the fullest in whatever way they want. It can be by either doing dangerous life treating activities or finding love. Every person is different and they approach life in different ways.

 Part II: Answer the following question in a paragraph that includes both evidence and analysis from the chart completed. 

The story South by Southwest is about a man that tries to discover himself by going on a spree to find love. At first the protagonist is by himself but his emptiness pushes him on this journey. When he meets the indian man he just wants company and in a way find love or experience new feeling. This is a journey of discovery where he meets and analyses different situations. He sees when he meets the old woman that love can really affect a person and he wants that too. It doesn't have to be physical, he just needs a connection with someone. In the end he felt so free that he does not analyse that the police has caught him, he is so happy about his new life that he barely notices that is going to end.

Should teenager offenders be tried and punished as adults?

The topic whether teens should be tried and punished as adults is very important in the twenty-first century.Teenagers offend their peers by hitting, rapping, stealing, murdering,etc. Each year over thirty two million teens,all over the world, experience any kind of of abuse whether is physical or emotional(11 facts about bullying). Many of the assaults that these teens afflicts on other teens lead to serious consequences. Many juvenile offenders are guilty of causing the deaths of many other peers directly or indirectly. It is very hard to punish these kids for their consequences because there are a lot of laws that protect them. According to the newspaper The Indiana Express juveniles commit over 6 crimes every day in Delhi(Juveniles commit six crimes every day in Delhi). Allowing not giving teens punishes accordingly to their crimes has given them the power to do whatever they want. If a teenager is capable of knowing the consequences of their actions he or she should be punished as adults.

The teen in the picture above is a sixteen year-old boy that is being accused of shooting and killing an 18-year-old.The authorities are still debating whether he will be tried as a teen or as a adult. If he is tried as a teen he will be taken into custody and he will attend the juvenile jail for about two years. How is it possible that a rational pre-adult might not be tried as an adult? Is our society really going to allow a person to kill another person without being properly punished.

Differences between juvenile and adult justice system:

• The juvenile justice systems their primary is to make the teens under go rehabilitation and it is easier for a teen to agree and his/her mistakes and get away with a small punishment. On  adult contrary the adult justice system tried to punish their criminals according to their crime.
• When you are an adult and you commit a crime it automatically becomes a public record. The juvenile justice systems tried to maintain teens records private because their main goal is to rehabilitate those teens and not try to damage their reputation for the future.
• When a juvenile is being judged the justice systems tries to judge them based on records from the past. The adult justice systems judge their criminals based on the evidence from their crime.
• Parole for juveniles is to allow the teen to integrate with the community with small surveillance to make sure the teen is on the right that. Parole for adults is completely different, they are constantly monitored for any kind of illegal behavior.
