The exclusionary rule, which forbids the use of illegal obtained evidence in trial, has always been a controversial element of the American criminal justice system. Although it is not considered an individual right, the Supreme Court has held that it is a useful tool to deter against the violation of a person’s constitutional rights.
In fact, one of the fundamental reasons that the Supreme Court, in Mapp v. Ohio, made for the use of the exclusionary rule was the benefit they saw in deterring police from violating the Fourth Amendments rights of the people against unreasonable searches and Continue reading...

Introduction
In his article, John Derbyshire wrote about the challenge of improving the children’s academic performance.

As he continued with his article, Derbyshire used different styles in writing to persuade his readers. Based on his attempts to persuade his audiences, rhetorical strategies were used such as logos, ethos and pathos. However, there were clear manifestations of logical fallacies in Continue reading...

Estimates show that, in the U.S., about 41,000 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occur in hospitals each year (CDC, 2014). CLABSI is a preventable complication that lengthens the hospital stay and increases the cost of care. It is a cause of patients’ lost productivity and undue suffering. Since 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has also refused to reimburse CLABSI-related care. The negative implications for the patient and the organization call for prevention using evidence-based practice (EBP).
Accessing the hub of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is a common source of infection (Moureau, 2010). Continue reading...

The Scientific Method is a way that Natural Scientists determine, test and prove their hypothesis. It is an organized way to prove or disprove a theory ("Scientific method," 2014).
In the context of evolution, the question to ask is: is evolution true? The next step is to do some preliminary research in order to put the question in the form of a hypothesis. To do this, the background research aims to determine if there is any empirical evidence that may support the question. The other area to explore is to question what else may have contributed to the end Continue reading...

Answer to question THREE: Gender Concepts in the Northern and Southern States

Slavery as an institution was a cause for contradicting ideologies between the northern and southern states of America. With the north advocating for the emancipation of slaves and the south standing for the opposite, the American Civil War had been brewing before 1861 when actual combat began. In turn, different forms of literature were produced from the North in retaliation to the Southerners’ ideologies with each approaching the immorality of slavery from different perspectives. With gender emerging as an issue among both sides, there were instances of emerging beliefs regarding male Continue reading...

This paper endeavors to explain how different ancient philosophers argued of how they believe in God scientifically and biblically and also how the current 21st generations believe in the existent of God as the creator and the provider of the universe.

In the world of science and mathematics, much is made of the concept of proof. This proof has been used in these disciplines to separate belief from knowledge. However, belief and knowledge have different meanings in real life situations. One of the fathers of modern psychology, Carl Jung, strived to give the distinctions between knowing and believing. In his endeavors, he explained that, most of the human population mainly bases our lives on the beliefs of others. However, in the struggle for wholeness or individuation, we struggle so much in search of our own knowing (Walter, 1988).
Different individuals Continue reading...

Question 1

Evidence-based practice is widely accepted as the empirically-sufficient standard of practice that is reasonable and as a means for improving certainty (Christiansen & Lou, 2001). The main goals of evidence-based practice include the integration of expert opinion or clinical expertise; caregiver/patient/client perspectives and external scientific evidence in providing high quality clinical services that reflect the choices, needs, values and interests of the patients being served. Physicians should be very much aware of the necessity for knowing the research. Majority of the existing ethical codes demand informed consent.

Falsifiability refers to the logical possibility that certain physical experiments or observations can prove particular assertions to be untrue. If an assertion is false based on observations or given tests then it is falsifiable. This does not necessarily mean that the assertion is false but rather that its falsehood can be proven. For instance, is a claim is made to the effect that ‘no humans live forever’ one cannot prove it to be untrue. This is because to prove that the truthfulness or otherwise of the statement, one would need to observe a human that lives forever in order Continue reading...

Even for the untrained eyes, it is overwhelmingly evident that the global climate has undergone dramatic changes. While growing up, it was so easy for anybody to make an almost accurate weather prediction, like when to expect rains or shine, and when the winter was approaching. Farmers relied solely on their past knowledge of consistent seasonal changes until the era of global warming and climate changes made it impossible.
Climatic change is currently the world’s major contentious issue. Based on several events, it is conclusively evident that climatic change is the reason why so many animals have gone Continue reading...

Several states have undertaken the responsibility of care provision to persons with disabling and severe mental illness throughout their life time. Several individuals with acute mental problems are dependent on these programs (Pataki, 2005).

Religious experience is such an intrinsic part of Western civilization that it would be difficult to distinguish the elements of the former from the latter. One of the central tenants of the Abrahamic religions, which dominate Western civilization, is faith. While this has sustained many different meanings throughout millennia, one may hold that faith is a belief when there is insufficient evidence.
Faith is not a conviction where there is enough evidence for something or when it is self-evident. For example, one should not employ this concept in reference to gravity or other experiences that have been repeated once Continue reading...

Scenario One

Sebastian commits this offense when he dishonestly buys business class tickets with the intention to sell them. Evidence of further dishonesty is illustrated by his travelling in economy class while the company records indicate that he travelled in the business class. Though no harm results to the company, the case of Attorney General’s Reference (No.3 of 2003) held that the key determinant in the offense is the conduct, not the results. Accordingly, Sebastian has committed the offense regardless of the outcome of his conduct.
However, it may be difficult to prosecute Sebastian; because his official capacity at the Continue reading...

In order to decide this case, we must first look at three separate but interrelated legal issues. First, we must consider whether the police use of the heat sensing device to monitor the defendant’s house was legal. Next we must determine whether the search warrant to search the defendant’s house was valid. Finally, we must decide if the evidence obtained during the search of the defendant’s house was admissible at his trial. Fortunately, none of these issues are new and there is ample Court precedent to help guide use in our decision-making.
In terms of the Continue reading...

Many regions have faced issues of racism but in few places was it more prevalent during the Jim Crow era in the deep South. The Jim Crow laws were enacted in 1876 and not considered unconstitutional until 1965 (George). These sets of laws were designed to create segregation between the newly freed slaves and the rest of society. In the South, these racist laws were to discourage African Americans from voting by increasing taxes and limiting voter registration (George). The Jim Crow laws were later used in an attempt to keep African American and White populations separated through different Continue reading...

It is a common norm for scientists to use “proofs” to describe the reasoning for various things. Scientists make use of these proofs to explain why something happens. For instance, geologists believe that the earth possesses an electromagnetic field that acts as a protector against destructive solar winds. These geologists have never really witnessed or seen this field, yet they strongly believe it to be the most plausible explanation of why the earth is protected from destructive solar winds. This analogy is comparable to the use of ‘proofs” by Christians to make strong arguments about God’s existence. When Continue reading...

The role of Roman virtue of clementia, which is synonymous to mercy or pity, in Vergil’s Aeneid has never really been extensively discussed. However, the term has been brought up in connection with the actions of Aeneas in books 10 and 12, and is very important for the general characterization of Aeneas. It should be noted that clementia was probably not one of Vergil’s favorite words since it appears just once in Aeneid, and then at 2.603-603, surprising it appears as inclementia, which is synonymous to unmerciful. Thus, it can be assumed that Vergil had never intended Continue reading...

In the article Why I Hate 3D Movies by Roger Ebert, it is clear that the author does not like the advent of 3D movies. Egbert argues that 3D is a waste of dimensions. Perhaps he does not realize the fact that this is a technological advancement that takes the movie industry to a new level. The reasoning that he presents throughout the paper leaves a lot to be desired simply because he does not use his perceived evidence for his arguments well. Besides this, Ebert passes off as a bitter person who intends to dissuade movie lovers, and Continue reading...

Scientific thinking can be defined as the process by which individuals extend their knowledge through the formation of theory on the basis of observations or epidemiological arrays. The theory is then put to trial by dividing the entire population and the outcome or results given a broad view to the correct population via the course of inductive common sense. Before the hypotheses are implemented, the results must undergo an examination by the research planned on the argument that the theory may have substantial backing or be denied. There are six principles of scientific thinking namely: falsifiability, extraordinary claims, replicability, Continue reading...
