If an offender is sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, then the offender will remain in jail for the rest of his

or her natural life regardless of his or her age at the time of the crime. This means that a 20-year-old may serve 60 years in prison while his partner in crime who was 50 years old at the time might only serve 20 years for the same crime. Is this fair? Why or why not?

It is not fair in my opinion, because the 50 year old has already lived a life, where as the 20 year old hasn't. The 50 year old has already has done things in his or her life that the 20 year old won't be able to do. For example, when the 20 year old gets out of jail he will be 80 meaning he may never experience things such as getting married, having children, and etc. The 50 year old may have already done those things in his or her life, so it is very unfair to the 20 year old. The sentencing is also unfair due to the fact being both of them committed the crime and should have the same time served in jail. 

Hint: that the last sentence might not hold up due to the fact of what he or she did and it pertains to how serve the crime was for both parties. Such as one person killed someone, while the other one didn't pull the trigger but was an accomplice or new about the killing. So it really depends on the crime or crimes the person has committed.

Explanation:

The interference theory refers to a situation where an individual is unable to remember certain things because an information has been inserted among other information stored in memory, causing shuffling of information that is impossible to remember.

How is our country right now similar to the time following reconstruction? write AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPHS.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:  As a country, America has gone though many political changes throughout her lifetime. Leaders have come and gone, all of them having different objectives and plans for the future. As history takes its course, though, most all of these “revolutionary movements” come to an end. One such movement was Reconstruction. Reconstruction was a time period in America consisting of many leaders, goals and accomplishments. Though, like all things in life, it did come to an end, the resulting outcome has been labeled both a success and a failure.

When Reconstruction began in 1865, a broken America had just finished fighting the Civil War. In all respects, Reconstruction was mainly just that. It was a time period of “putting back the pieces”, as people say. It was the point where America attempted to become a full running country once more. This, though, was not an easy task. The memory of massive death was still in the front of everyone’s mind, hardening into resentment and sometimes even hatred. The south was virtually non-existent politically or economically, and searching desperately for a way back in. Along with these things, now living amongst the population were almost four million former slaves, who had no idea how to make a living on their own. They had been freed by the 13th amendment in 1865, and in the future became a great concern to many political leaders. Still, it was no secret that something had to be done. So, as usually happens, political leaders appeared on the stage, each holding their own plan of Reconstruction, each certain their ideas were the correct ones. One of the first people who came up with a blueprint for Reconstruction was the president at the time, Abraham Lincoln. The “Lincoln Plan” was a very open one, stating that after certain criteria were met a confederate state could return to the union. To rejoin, a state had to have ten percent of voters both accept the emancipation of slaves and swear loyalty to the union. Also, those high ranking officers of the state could not hold office or carry out voting rights unless the president said so.
