Snatch by Guy Ritchie... Snatch Guy Ritchie directs this movie and talks about the zombies, the underground people who want to find their way of accommodation in the society. The movie takes people back to the under land of London that does not involve the English criminals such as Dick Tracy. The characters used own the names of Runyonesque for example, Franky Four Fingers, and many more such names.

Contemporary Masculinity...Contemporary masculinity is, according to some, in crisis and, to others, in a of redefinition and reformulation. The previous, or earlier, images of masculinity are somewhat outdated insofar as they placed tremendous emphasis upon the dominance of the male, the male as the breadwinner, the male as the unquestioned authority, and the male as the heterosexual. A critical and honest review of contemporary masculinity indicates that the male is no longer the primary breadwinner, is not necessarily heterosexual, is hardly the unquestioned authority and power-holder and is, within the context of Western societies, not necessarily dominant. It is, thus, that images of...

Female masculinity...and other women at times. The second reason is a man does not have the same insecurities about his gender as a woman does. A man does not have to fight to be taken seriously. A man is a man. On the other hand, a woman has to be a woman, mother, housekeeper, employee, and the many other roles that they take on.

Society seems to tell women they can be anything they want to be, but they must remain pretty while obtaining their goals. Not all women who display...

POLICE AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES...of the communities served.
The idea of accountability is central to the community model, since responsiveness to the law, the state and the public provides the basis for police legitimacy. The problem of crime, or, more generally, interpersonal violence and conflicts between citizens—requires some form of state-sanctioned force to impose binding solutions, and therefore the possession of intrusive and coercive powers remains central to the definition of policing in the consensual model.
Relationship between Police and the Marginalized Communities
A majority of police officers join the service with a specific intention to help the communities they serve to be a more peaceful and a safer place (Smith, 1987). The...
