The Jury System
... not explain reason of verdict to court. If juries feel way of
investigation is dirty and viorate human rights, they can decide the
defendant is innocnt. In short, jurors can decide defendant is innocent
even if a public prosecutor has disadvantageous proofs for the defendant.
Juries who are representative of citizen make the decision value about
proof. But, Jerome Frank, one of delegates of legal realists, criticized
jury system in Law & the Modern Mind, 1930. " A lot of verdicts are
irresponsible juries' products of caprice and prejudice, for example, the
defendant is a rich corporation, the plaintiff is a poor boy and the
counsel is an eloquent speaker. Suc ...

Government's Welfare Programs
... means for them to obtain food
while they search for a job. These families receive foodstamps, to purchase food,
and a small amount of dollars to aid with either rent or utilities. Because of
this income from welfare, crime is reduced. This is because there is now more
income so the poor no longer have the need to go out and commit crimes to
attain that income. Welfare also aids in improving the economy because the
children of these families can afford to go to school and have a chance to make
someone of themselves. Instead of enrolling in welfare themselves, in the future
these people will make contributions to the economy and will be tax paying
citizens.

Fidel Castro's Reign In Cuba
... to Cuba or secure the broad popular support that might have legitimized his rape of the 1940 Constitution. As the people of Cuba grew increasingly dissatisfied with his gangster style politics, the tiny rebellions that had sprouted began to grow.
Meanwhile the U.S. government was aware of and shared the distaste for a regime increasingly nauseating to most public opinion. It became clear that Batista regime was an odious type of government. It killed its own citizens, it stifled dissent. (1) At this time Fidel Castro appeared as leader of the growing rebellion. Educated in America he was a proponent of the Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He conducted a brilliant ...

Red Guards
... the group beat on gongs and drums. Some observers said it looked more like
a circus then a political demonstration.
They did a lot of things that many thought were outrageous. At one point
they raced widely through Peking denouncing anyone who was in a business. They
even made a demand to change the meaning of the colors in a stop light.
According to the Red Guards, that because the color of communism is red, that
you should go on red and stop on green. When the Red Guards added students
from another school or workers from another factory they decorated the entrance
with purple paper, lanterns and a red cloth covered with flowers.

Summary Of Paine's Common Sense
... his reasons he suggests that all plans and proposals made prior to the nineteenth of April( the battle of Lexington and Concord) are out of date and useless now towards the true facts of the problem.
The first few reasons magnified on how the colonies have been injured many times just by being connected to England. One of these reasons was about the enemies of Great Britain, always ending becoming Americas because of the fact that England was the parent country and all ties with her faced her problems. Another reason stated by Thomas was how trade and marketing with France and Spain were damaged due to the disagreements of Great Britain with the French and Amer ...

Synthesis On Race And Ethnicit
... we flail about, trying to find moral ballast. By then it is usually too late. The lines are drawn. Accusations are hurled across the river like cannon fire. And the cease-fires, when they occur, are just that, cease-fires, temporary and fragile. Even the best of people have already chosen sides (Kotlowitz, 414) To have any race or sect serve another because they believe they are higher and mightier than the other is preposterous. By our own nature we, as a society, strive to dominate others and become the "King of the Hill". This is our major downfall, by doing this we injure our society and the bond that holds this country together. Why does this occur you might as ...

Homosexual Adoptions
... naturally. There are some cases that heterosexual couples adopt because they are unable to have children, but the difference here is that most heterosexual couples can naturally have children, while on the other hand no homosexual couples can naturally produce children. Homosexuality is morally degrading to a society, and for our society to condone homosexual relationships by allowing them to adopt children would hurt our societies morals, and be unfair to the child.
A child growing up with homosexual parents would not have all the advantages that a child growing up with heterosexual parents would. A child is better off having a mother and a father, and it would ...

Drug Testing
... had identified the machine industry as a growing industry and invested in modernization of technology. Consequently, Japanese technology was better and costs were lower. When a recession hit in 1980-1981, American firms had little capital to invest, and thus could not modernize their equipment. The industries that are going to survive in the future are those that have the most efficient computerized operations and that produce the cheapest, most reliable products. The Japanese have this edge and the American machine tool manufacturers are reluctant to change their ideologies of buying only American made products. John Garner and Tom Avery created precision Machine T ...

Justice
... biased feelings towards certain
laws cannot supersede the concrete social laws. This type of high emotion was
apparent when dealing with the facts in the murder of a Topeka police officer.
In the recent trial Steven Shively was prosecuted for shooting a police officer.
The prosecutor was caught up in the media and emotional hype of this case. She
apparently thought that she could win simply because a police officer was shot
and the public was behind her. It was a case of public revenge where the mind-
set was "We're going to get the guy that did this horrible crime. It doesn't
matter that he was defending his home." This type of public revenge could

What Is Legislation
... service. It is an
assumption by one man, or body of men, of a right to abolish outright all
the natural rights, all the natural liberty of all other men; to make all
other men their slaves; to arbitrarily dictate to all other men what they
may, and may not do; what they may, and may not, have; what they may, and
may not, be. It is, in short, the assumption of a right to banish the
principle of human rights, the principle of justice itself, from off the
earth, and set up their own personal will, pleasure, and interest in its
place. All this, and nothing less, is involved in the very idea that there
can be any such thing as legislation that is obligatory upon thos ...
