Introduction

Often, when murders commit their heinous crimes, they do not consider that the circumstances could turn around, making them the victims. They often feel secure and in a safe position to continue with their activities. When brought before a court of law and convicted for their crimes, they often try to plead their case by making the authorities feel guilty for passing the sentence on them. This is what happened with Robert Lee Willie, who, after being convicted for execution in a Louisiana state prison, admitted that killing is wrong whether done by an individual or by the state. Other murders such ...

Hard-Boiled detective fictions have been in existence since the mid-1920 pioneered by Carroll John Daly (Hammett 1). However, according to Horsley Lee and Jordison Sam, in two of their articles, they hold in high regard the role of Hammett Dashiell as a revolutionary in the literary style of writing of crime fictions using the book ‘Maltese Falcon.’ Aggressive repetitions, gun rhythms and cold morality in the story are some of the styles used. Consequentially Hammet Dashiell acts a pioneer to literary styles in crime fiction as other great writers including but not limited to, Raymond Chandler, Sue Grafton, Chester ...

Introduction

My stand is that citizens should never be executed. Executing a citizen amount to a gross violation of ethics and it brings more harm than correction. In the emotional perspective, execution of a citizen leaves a mark that cannot be erased on hearts of persons close to the executed person, it can never heal. Rather than being a corrective means, it turns out as a traumatizing experience to the family members of the executed; it can take a very long time for them to recover and come into terms with the reality. Capital punishment can very effectively be replaced by life imprisonment, which though separates the ...

I believe that Martin Luther King’s speeches are more convincing because his use of logic appeals to a wider audience. He also makes convincing arguments that appeal to the emotions and logic of everyone not only those that are religious. Malcolm X’s speeches also convince the audience effectively but use far more confusing logos and many more emotive words. Martin Luther King seems to be able to make arguments more succinctly.
Malcolm X is a well known black preacher and activist and makes strong moral arguments in his speech. He has a vested interest in changing things due to his ...

Abstract

The paper delineates and evaluates Eric Garner and Michael Brown Cases as well as unwarranted and excessive use of force. Garner was killed due to selling untaxed cigarettes while Michael Brown was a suspected robber. In both cases, the targeted were unarmed, and I think a re-evaluation of the use by the police force. Two different viewpoints persist in each of the cases. In the Garner case, he had been unable to breathe and choked to death. I think that the officers had no right to punish him with death because a man drinking and driving has no intention to kill others, ...
