To obtain expertise in Cruifinology(CruiseToppinology). an individual must take classes at a Cruifin Institution.

The speed of the winds on the ocean are very important to understand as well as the changing speed of your respective cruise ship. Understanding weather patterns are important to avoid storms.

supernasal criminology 

Share definition Flag
1. The science of using a highly trained human or canine investigator to sniff an unclaimed fart and then back-engineer it's food origins to identify the perpetrator from a list of suspects.
2. The general act of smelling a fart and guessing who did it.
Recent excavations in France have yielded evidence of early forms of supernasal criminology. Cave paintings have been found that not only depict Neolithic man smelling the farts of his fellow man, but also smelling the farts of his prey. It is believed that early hunter gatherers would sneak up on their prey and smell their farts before making a kill. This was a means of identifying the diet of the animal and thus ensuring the nutritional value of the meat before bringing it home to his clan.

Critical Criminology

Share definition Flag
A school of thought that views crime and deviance as products of social, economic, and political power structures. It challenges the traditional focus on individual pathology and "law and order," arguing that the criminal justice system itself often functions to control disadvantaged populations, protect elite interests, and legitimize inequality. It asks "who defines crime?" and "who benefits from this definition?"
Example: A Critical Criminology analysis of drug policy would not focus on the pharmacology of substances, but on the historical and racialized construction of drug laws, the prison-industrial complex's profit motive, and how policing certain communities for minor possession serves social control while corporate opioid manufacturers face minimal sanction.

He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Successful strivers:
