The bill was passed in the assembly first and then moved to the senate where it was passed in the form of SB 4.

An Analysis of the Formulation of California Senate Bill 4

Chapter 1
The purpose of this research is to analyze the process creating, SB 4, the legislation on hydraulic fracking as an opportunity to understand how and why the fracking issue gained enough momentum to reach the level of legislative decision. Policies that reach the decision-making level on a legislative agenda have been driven to that level by internal and external factors of the government (Kingdon, 1995). The factors and actors that worked together to put ‘fracking’ on the agenda of the California Assembly and Senate are interesting because of the wide range of opinions held by the proponents Continue reading...

Introduction

Juvenile offenders and minors have for some time suffered the failure of the justice system to have an elaborate program for trying minors. This has brought about confusion in the justice system to the extent that no clear framework exists for criminal justice for minors (Braswell, 2011). The essence of justice is to bring about the truth for the sake of bringing change in the society. Being found innocent or guilty, therefore, becomes an important aspect of the justice system. Therefore, it is important to note that owing to various factors surrounding this matter, the justice system is under Continue reading...

This is a question that films like Raging Bull and The Godfather Part 1 attempt to answer. These films feature "bad" boys who resort to socially unapproved and criminal behavior and still seem to get away with it. In a world where societies make the rules, perhaps their appeal lies in their ability to bend and break those rules. Nevertheless, there are reasons why they seem so untouchable—reasons that have to do with their immediate context, their thinking and their values. This paper will attempt to analyze those reasons.
The film Raging Bull (1980) is arguably a film Continue reading...

Chapter IV: Findings
Introduction
The research had the ambitious goal of identifying the political process that took for the passing of SB 4. The subject was especially interesting because hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has taken place in California for several decades. In this chapter, data collected about the drilling style in California was presented with an effort to include the variety of data available from viewpoints of different stakeholders and their support or lack of support for the duration of the legislative process. Fracking is a national as well as a state political issue. Both external and internal factors impacted Continue reading...

Introduction

Organized crime has been a matter of major concern in the United States of America for a long period. Attempts to get rid of this social ill have not been fruitful. Mallory defines organized crime as an activity that is not allowed in the society and deal with illegal substances, and services such as drugs, gambling and stealing (Mallory 2007). Given this explanation, organized crime can be seen as a social institution that is socially disorganized. Organized crime has deemed to be problematic to eliminate from the society, despite the several attempts by the government to curb it. However, Continue reading...

An Analysis of the Formulation of California Senate Bill

Chapter 5
Discussion
SB 4 is the first California law to address the issue of hydraulic fracturing or fracking for natural gas in California. The fracking method had been used in California for several years without any regulation (Freyman, 2014, p. 59). Therefore, the research studied the possible reasons the issue became a part of public conversation, and finally reached the agenda setting level of the California legislature. And, only that, the issue became law in California. Well simulation is the term used in SB 4 to describe three types of the procedure hydraulic fracturing, acid matrix stimulation, and Continue reading...

During the early years, the colonies and British had a good relationship in America. With the changing time, the relationship becoming worse as British attempted to take total control of the colonies. During this time, British did not use an acceptable approach in addressing problem raised by the colonies. Should the British have used different approach, perhaps the relationship would still be as it was before the revolution. There are many mistakes that the British made that triggered the revolutionary movement leading to independence. This paper analyzes the three major mistakes made by British triggering the revolutionary war.

Socrates is popular for his shifting thoughts on Greek philosophical ideas about the nature of the universe. Philosophers before Socrates’ time also examined of the problems associated with human life. Nonetheless, Socrates was the first philosopher to analyze ethics as a science. In addition, Socrates looked at the principles of human life from a methodical and consistent perspective. Many critics note that Socrates influenced the expansion of Western philosophy and culture in many ways. In fact, a number of critics believe that Socrates was instrumental in his teachings and such thoughts impacted on the development of Christianity. Arguably, Socrates Continue reading...

I am provided with eight different buttons to choose from. Each button has its own color which represents the ability to discharge a specific superhero task. These colors are yellow, blue, red, pink, orange, green, purple and grey. However, in as much as all the colors presented have specific admirable superhero abilities, I had to choose only one and I therefore pressed blue. I chose the blue button because, among many reasons, it also comes with the power of flight. The reasons for my choice are personal and socially relevant.

With the media ever focused on shootings throughout the USA, which only seems to add to the fire that is the gun control debate. Shooting and even Mass shootings tear at the emotions of the populace, and the heat is on for someone to do something. The gun control debate is not new; however, many people are demanding action. Proponents of both sides of the argument tend to bring non-facts to the debate in order to persuade people to listen to their argument. Besides, the actual implication of the effectiveness of the gun control is still controversial. The American Continue reading...

Many organizations that try to change their ways of conducting their operations often fail to meet their targets for different reasons.

Everything we do has a limit. Limits are put to define the extent to which we can do certain things or even the extent to which we can move from a particular point. Boundaries are physical barriers which separate different areas. They are usually in the form of walls, roads, paths and so on. Therefore, maritime boundaries and limits are connected with the ownership of valuable resources and coastal state jurisdiction over foreign shipping. Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace Continue reading...

I have always heard about atheist, but I had never met with one until when I was travelling home. I have always wished to meet one and hear a personal perspective of an atheist. I have always known them to refute the existence of God as a supernatural being or the existence of any spirit. Atheists also preach against organized religion and decry it as ignorant and uneducated. According to them, everything that happens in the world has a scientific reason behind it. I had watched John Harris’ video interview with Richard Dawkins, who argued that somebody as intelligent Continue reading...

In today’s information age, less and less information is considered confidential – whether it is an issue of national security, or merely an issue of someone eventually finding the information anyway, the anonymity of journalistic sources has become a very sticky issue. Often, people are compelled to ask for these sources in order to protect national security, or to determine the source of an illegal leak of confidential information to reporters. However, this pursuit directly steps on laws and principles outlined in the First Amendment of the United States in regards to freedom of speech. Due to the importance Continue reading...

One of the risks that illegal migrants face when they illegally cross the border is that they risk being apprehended by the country they are migrating to. The border law enforcement agencies of the country they are migrating to will arrest the immigrants and probably depot them.

1 Introduction
Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an NGO. As Continue reading...

Introduction
Guidelines and funding for equal employment were presented in 1961 in an Executive Order signed by Democratic President J. F. Kennedy (Stewart, 2012). And then, the Supreme Court was the center of forming the foundational legal concepts of affirmative action (FAQ, 2003). And later, Republican President Richard M. Nixon supported employment equity by establishing federal contractors to meet affirmative action standards. Three decades later, 32 years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the California legislature passed a ban on affirmative action. The law had been initiated by California Proposition 209 which had been accepted in a popular vote. Continue reading...
