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.

How did communism have a impact on china
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The most conspicuous effect of communism on China is censorship. Though often depicted as a blatant handicap to media and social interaction, censorship in China is often very subtle and, although it tends to forbid criticism of the government, is itself governed by no exact rules.

Read the sentence from the section "The British set up a colony in Virginia." Largely through their own initiative, the English
jenyasd209 [6]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to attach the section "English mariners improve seamanship." However, we can comment on the following.

Jamestown colonists had to use every resource they had wisely because they faced many problems when they arrived at the North American territory in 1607.

At the beginning of the settling, the colonists had many problems to survive due to the lack of supplies, the weather, and the general conditions of the new land. They could overcome the situation with the help of the Native American Indians. However, years later the relationship got complicated and different issues started to create serious issues between Native Indians and white English settlers.

So that is why they had the develop maritime skills to take advantage of the rivers and the sea to succeed.
