Introduction
Using irony depends on the so-called share understanding between the reader and the writer, if there were no common understanding established at the beginning of the text it is possible that the readers would be left clueless of what has been red and meaning does it want to convey. In Lorde’s writing, she presented her views about the American history in a different manner. For instance, she mentioned about being disappointed about not passing by the Liberty Bell, which constitutes a contradicting meaning. First, the author could mean being disappointed because she anticipated seeing the Liberty Bell while ...

John Locke’s Social Contract Theory:

Introduction:
The Social Contract Theory argues that people’s morals and obligations depend on an agreement among them in order to form the society in which they reside. John Locke's argues that the state of nature of man is perfect, and no one is to interfere each other’s’ lives. He states that even though the state of nature is one without punishment from the authority, it is not pre-moral (Friend, 2004). In Hobbes's argument, he points out that without identification and recognition of a universal authority, chaos is the order of man. In contrast to this, Locke and ...

Government response was swift in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Shortly after the attacks, the President signed the USA Patriot Act into law in October, 2001. The overarching purpose of the USA Patriot Act was to provide new tools and resources for law enforcement agencies and personnel to better detect and prevent terrorism (The USA PATRIOT Act: Preserving Life and Liberty). The Patriot Act made dramatic changes to existing laws relating to government surveillance (Savage, 2009). It equipped various law enforcement agencies with the legal authority and ability to be more proactive in detecting and preventing terrorist ...

On Feb. 28, 2008, Judge H. Walter Croskey of the Second District Court of Appeals in Los Angeles ruled that children from the age of 6 to 18 years old can not be homeschooled unless the adult person providing the education holds a valid California teaching credential (Witte & Mero, 2008; Time, 2008). Judge Croskey relied on laws going back half a century stating that "California courts have held that under provisions in the Education Code, parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children" (Witte & Mero, 2008; Time, 2008). The judge went on to say that any individual teaching ...

The ethical issue is derived from whether doctors should have hard paternalism over patient autonomy when a decision could negatively affect the patient’s health goals. Some of the pertinent ethical facts in the case of whether Mrs. B may be taken off of life support is as followed:

Does Mrs.B have a living will and has her daughter inquired for it? If Mrs. B has a living will, some state’s jurisdiction will insist that any directions in it must not be compromised by her daughter's decisions. 
Does Mrs. B's condition render the requirements necessary to prompt the ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

The present paper ...

The Vietnamese had suffered so much in the hands of the Japanese and the French. In 1941, they formed a military and political movement called Viet Minh, meaning League for Independence of Vietnam. This movement did its best to challenge the Japanese and defeat the French. The struggles eventually led to the freedom of the Vietnam nation; it was led by Ho Chi Minh. Minh was a source of inspiration to the people of Vietnam since he led them to their freedom; he was seen as a national hero. Despite the controversy over whether he was a communist or ...

Ethics is the accepted code of conduct (principles of wrong or right) that control the behavior of an individual, an organization or group of a profession.

I. Introduction
In the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed that a woman has a constitutional right to decide whether or not she wants to have an abortion. Prior to the decision, most states had prohibited abortions other than in the case where a pregnancy was dangerous to the woman’s health. In finding that a woman has a right to choose, the Court held that the choice was a private decision that the state had no authority to interfere with, at least ...

Introduction

A seldom noted observation device geared to monitor the movements of every passing motorist is rapidly spreading on America’s thoroughfares. “Automatic license plate readers” that are placed on police cruisers or on stationary locations such as bridges-utilize small high speed cameras to take pictures of thousands of license plates every minute. The data taken by the readers-inclusive of the plate of the vehicle, the date, time and area of the scanning-is then gathered and at times lumped together into regional data pools. As a result of these activities, innocent motorists have their private information taken and pooled into ...

Introduction

The courts judicial review and constitutional interpretation has been a central rational objection for democracy. The regular judicial invalidation of policies passed by elected officials as a minimum brought up problems of democratic legitimacy. The rational objection, which has been brought up against a background over many years of the United States populist political argument, prompted the active use of the judicial power in constitutional interpretation give way to the decision of legislative and majorities. The courts power in striking down laws considered unconstitutional has been politically controversial throughout American history (Prakash, 2003). The judicial review power has become politically salient and ...

Importance of Utilitarian Benefits over Moral Justice

In my own judgment, the possible utilitarian benefits of building the Caltex plant were not more important than the violations of moral law and justice. Building the Caltex in deed seemed to present more benefits for the discriminated groups in the country. Caltex insisted that its expansion in South Africa actually benefitted the economic conditions of blacks because it followed the Sullivan Principles of 1977 (Ashford University). These principles were a set of six guidelines which served as a policy which the companies would follow to promote equal treatment between their black, colored, and white employees. In addition, statistics indicated that ...
