Supreme Court Literature Reviews Samples For Students

The concept of the overall purpose and philosophy of man has been addressed and considered by many philosophers over the course of time; do we act merely for the pursuit of our own happiness, or do we focus on an essential concept of justice and reciprocity? In "Two Concepts of Rules," John Rawls demonstrates his desire to "show the importance of the distinction between justifying a practice and justifying a particular action falling under it," as well as the ease by which the significance of this distinction can be made (Rawls, p. 3). He does this through ...

Valuable insight into the main teachings of Atenism is provided by the Great Hymn and all of foremost principles of Atenism have been outlined in it. Moreover, the differences between the philosophy of King Akhenaten, the supposed composer of this Hymn, and the primary Egyptian religion that existed before his reign have been further outlined in the lyrical verses of the Hymn.
In the very first couple of lines, the sun is portrayed as a life giver who enforces justice by journeying across the sky. The New Solar Theology also shared this belief that life on earth exists because ...

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a highly influential American novel for many reasons, not the least of which is the compelling, well-drawn and uniquely American character of Atticus Finch. A strong, paternal presence to his family and his community, Atticus is highly principled, hard-working and dedicated to a sincere sense of justice. Both in his parenting of Scout and his defense of Tom Robinson, Atticus’ virtue is shown throughout. While America may not always live up to the standards Atticus Finch himself sets, he represents a set of ideals that America hopes to strive towards, including equality, fairness and standing up ...

The letter from Birmingham jail written by Martin Luther King is an expression of convictions of the just society against injustice. I agree with the thoughts of Martin Luther King on the matter of injustice and the state of Negro people in the United States. Martin Luther King is a leader who takes it upon himself to ensure prevalence of justice in the society. He clearly explains his role as a member of the society and a leader in the same. He explains that justice in any place is justice in every place. Through this statement, King implies that there is need ...

PRISON DISCRIMINATION

The prison system within the American judicial system is tainted and full of discrimination. Various authors describe the value of human life by saying; race does not exist, but rather merely human beings (Gordon 1983; Wilson and Moore 2003). All humans are unique despite their social background, ethnic race as well as the language they speak. Therefore, this raises a question as to why is there is a social divide amongst humans, and why it continues to develop over the years. These questions are some, but a few of the overwhelming thoughts that both academic scholars and politicians have had a difficult time ...

Introduction to arbitration
International commercial arbitration is a method of solving disputes between international commercial institutions, as a result of disagreements arising between them during business interactions. It is a method that has been very much used in the recent past as a way to solve disputes easily since it does not follow formal agreements stipulated in legislative systems of the involved parties. These legal formalities are usually long, and the parties involved are mostly from different countries, with different legal backgrounds as well as cultural backgrounds, therefore, coming up with solutions normally becomes a very expensive and time consuming. This system of ...

Introduction
The concept or term “gerrymander” is about 200 years old and was coined in 1812 in reference to Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry and the salamander-like district that he helped to create. However, such practice can be traced back even before the term “gerrymander” was created. For the past generations, the federal courts refused to police either gerrymandering or malapportionment based on political question grounds. Grofman defines the concept of gerrymandering to the drawing of electoral district lines so as to assign unequal voting weights to cognizable political groups and has been considered as a noxious political practice. One ...

Stojkivic et. al. opines that power exists by way of relationships. Ideally, the organizations and individuals who are capable of dealing with the environmental uncertainty and instability possess considerable power. As an individual construct, power exists on people depending on the jobs that an individual does. Individuals who cannot be replaced easily are usually more powerful. For instance, in the criminal justice system, individuals who are most effective and efficient possess power.
As an organizational construct, power resides in the individuals who determine the role that other individuals play in the organization. As such, power resides within organizational ...

It is quite important to learn how to deal and act towards other people. In my understanding, this is the main intent of this habit that is posited by effective people. It is commonly argued that one should do unto others as they expect others to do unto them. This is the same understanding in this topic. Effective people seek to know what the others need and what they value (Covey, 1989). As such, they tend to create very good bonds of understanding with the people. As a result, there is a greater level of interaction, which in return leads to a ...

In a society, the weaker group would always demand that special treatment be accorded to them. This approach has always favoured an adoption of affirmative actions for the weaker persons in society. Women, if compared to men have been the weaker sex. History reveals a record of marginalization and mistreatment of women across societies. In fact, jurisdictions like Saudi Arabia in the Middle East are yet to grant women full rights and freedoms. However, this does not mean that women have always been the victims in every situation. Indeed, many situations exist that cast women as the villains in society. This ...

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Juvenile delinquency is said to be an antisocial behavior exhibited by minors. (Quay, 1987) In the USA, most states would consider a juvenile to be between the ages of ten and eighteen, while a few others consider up to sixteen years of age as the limit. When crimes are committed by persons under these age range, they are commonly tried as a juvenile and not as an adult, which poses much difference from normal court proceedings.
Juvenile tried cases are mediated by judges instead of the usual trial by a jury of the peers. Moreover, unlike an adult case, juveniles ...

Response to Question #1:

Othello’s reaction in line 35 suggests that Iago’s accusations regarding Desdemona are finally beginning to affect him. Just before, Othello is interrogating Iago with clipped lines like, “What hath he said?” and “With her?” In line 35, Othello begins talking to himself, rather than interrogating Iago. He also begins to use the same type of flawed logic that Iago has been using all along to convince him of Desdemona’s alleged betrayal. In line 40, Othello says, “Nature would not invest herself in such shadowing passion without some instruction.” He is basically saying, “I have doubt, so ...

Color is a valuable resource in education especially if it comes in the form of pictures. Colors add to the attraction in learning and establishing the relevance and significance of learning. This poem, written in both Spanish and English, is an example of how bilingual language can be used in learning and teaching. I chose this poem as a resource since I felt that there is a dreamy use of color in it that initiates a sense of magic. This looks appealing in learning especially to children. The purpose of this resource is to heighten the sense of sound and color among students ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. Nonverbal behavior is an important component to forming impressions about people's personality, sociability, and mood, among other things (Ambady and Rosenthal, p. 439). When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information ...

In addition to the fact that Tiebout's assumptions are unrealistic, as mentioned before, even with these assumptions he did not provide a mathematical proof of the equilibrium in his article. Some scholars tried to formalize the model and suggest that the model does not work as we would expect from a pareto optimal general equilibrium model. Bewley (1981) showed that Tiebout equilibrium does not have a Pareto optimal solution unless we add some other restrictive assumptions to the model. He provided a series of examples which highlights the inefficiency of Tiebout model. Moreover, as the reviewed literature shows, relaxing Tiebout’s assumption does ...

Speakers usually employ the rhetoric of persuasion in order to appeal to their audiences. Martin Luther King Jnr. in his Letter From Birmingham Jail resorts to the aid of these devices to enhance the authority and reasonability of his utterances to strike the emotions of the segregationists he addresses who are fellow clergymen.

In this letter, King employs logos as a rhetorical strategy in the hope that he dresses it up with factual accounts of injustices meted out on the Negroes. He feels that the laws are unjust and as such, the people have the moral responsibility to disobey such ...

In Saundra Segan Wheeler’s scholarly article “The motive of return in Matthew Arnold’s writings,” she discusses Arnold’s passions and drives towards writing, taking influence from important literary figures such as Aristotle and Voltaire. Wheeler compares Arnold to the writer Longinus, who “interweaves language of his own with that of the authors he admires,” making him very much a product of his influences.

Wheeler then goes into an in depth examining of Arnold’s writing. “Arnold, the poetic craftsman, is commenting on the reductive nature of broad-based praise” in works like “Merope,” and Arnold also “advises his reader ...

Abstract

Rising rates of recidivism in the United States have developed concerns pertaining to the effectiveness of prisons as correctional facilities. In this study, the focus is to assess the suitability of faith-based correctional methods in promoting inmates reentry into the society. Some discussed methods include Inner change programs, prison chaplaincy, and meditational strategies. Several studies have indicated significant declines in recidivism rates among inmates who participated in these initiates. For example, Duwe & Johnson (2013) found that inmates who engaged in Inner change programs in Minnesota were less likely to be arrested by at least 8% compared to their counterparts ...

Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of death amongst women. Women are much more likely than men to be the victim of violence at the hands of their significant others or families, but handling the situation can be very delicate.

A brief review

Abstract
Recidivism rates are very instrumental in the policy making, offender incarceration and treatment. However when these rates are surrounded by uncertainty and are lacking, these rates do more harm than good. This is truer in sexual crimes, particularly in child molestations. While criminological literature emphasizes low recidivism rates for sexual criminals, the public fueled by media, consider it otherwise. Nonetheless recidivism rates are high for child molesters among the sexually offending group. Even among child molesters, there is much difference between the intra-familial and extra-familial groups too. Framework models and tools help specialists in identifying individuals with ...

Literature Review

The paper reviews the existing literature on the efficacy of incarcerating criminals in prisons and the associated expenses that the government incurs to jail them and maintain the prisons. According to Gilgan (2015), the expenses, which are substantial, are funded by the taxes collected from the citizens. His opinion is that a prison sentence for every criminal is neither rational nor an economically viable solution for the U.S. Government. The crucial question that the paper will explore is whether using tax dollars to imprison criminals is the ideal way to utilize the money gathered, and how might they be ...

Usually, whenever a property is purchased or acquired from a willing or non-willing seller, it is expected that a fair compensation is given to those whose interests are deprived. However, it may be difficult to determine what a fair compensation constitutes. In some cases claimants may receive more or less compensation compared to the value of their property. In other instances, the monetary sum provided may be a huge sum, but it may not cover non-quantifiable losses such as psychological and social implications. As experience has shown, there are ...
