Security and Criminal Justice Name Institutional Affiliation Security and Criminal Justice For this analysis, my chosen topic is security and criminal justice. Security refers to the state under which a thing or a person is free from threat or danger (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013). Criminal justice, on the other hand, refers to the administration of justice for people who have committed crimes (Siegel & Worrall, 2013). This topic interests me for two main reasons. First, the topic interests me because it is linked to development outcomes. A growing body of evidence produced from credible studies has demonstrated that shortfalls in security and justice in the society contribute towards...

Certificate of Deposits Name Institutional Affiliation Certificate of Deposits Opinion on Low CD Rates Even though the certificate of deposit rates are currently at their historic low, I think people should not resort to keeping money under the mattress and in the piggy banks. First, the CD accounts guarantee safety of the money kept as opposed to these old methods (Law, 2018). Additionally, money deposited in the CD accounts earns some interest even if it is little.

Age Theory Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Age Theory The theory states that the perception of the length of time is a direct inverse to the actual age. Mathematically, the equation is expressed as perception of age (p) = (Constant)/ (actual age (age)). The product of perception of a length of time and the actual age gives the constant of proportionality. The constant is computed by having a set of the two variables and finding the average product of each set (Allan, 2009). For the calculations let’s take the constant as 1000 years. The new equation states as; p= 1000/age. If the actual age doubles, the perception of a length of time decreases. For example, at age of 20, a year...
