Summary of the Administrative Issue

In this article, Chand, Schreckhise and Bowers (2016) examine the factors that influence the decisions of Federal Immigration Judges when granting or refusing asylum to immigrants in various regions. According to them, politics and political affiliations to a great extent influence the granting of asylum by these judges. This is consistent with a similar observation by Post (2013) who notes that politics obviously has a hand in such decisions but questions the efficacy of this in ensuring fair outcomes. For, immigration judges in areas under the control of Republicans rarely give asylum to immigrants while those in regions dominated ...

The ritual of marriage is a very important milestone in the life of an individual and, more so, in the life of an individual who is also a devout Christian. The Scripture often mentions the sanctity of marriage as well as the permanency of it in one’s life. Such descriptions have resulted in a dilemma for particular individuals who, for some unfortunate reason, have had to divorce and remarry. At present, Catholicism does not permit divorced individuals to remarry unless and until they have had their marriage annulled by the Church. While the Orthodox Catholic views on remarriage ...

Probation and parole are alternative sentences to incarceration, which offer convicted offenders the opportunity to remain in the community, but operate under supervision (Hanser 12).

Illegal immigration persists to be a highly debatable topic concerning the future of the United States as a whole. In this respect, one side of the argument such as the one proposed by other scholars such as Nadadur whose argument explains the positive repercussions of illegal immigration in the US economy, saying that it has further benefitted the dissipation of cheap labor which in turn creates cheaper prices for the local commodities sold in the groceries and supermarkets. It is undeniable that what Nadadur had stated had truly made an impact with the US economy especially since these illegal ...

Eventually, HHS concluded that any contraceptive approved by the FDA should be covered. Under the contraceptive mandate, any company not in compliance is subject to a penalty of $100 per ...

The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown. This principle was base on the presumption that private bodies could not directly own land. The feudal system of tenancy completely disregarded and did not recognize the modern relationship between the landlord and tenants. To this end, grants of land over a period of years were regarded as creating personal contracts only. Nevertheless, it did contain certain characteristics of modern landlord-tenant relationship. The land ownership structure ...

The number of colored students who secure chances for higher education in the United States has greatly been on the decline. The rates of admission and successful completion of higher education by students who are of African-American origins, Hispanic and the Native Americans origin have always trailed behind their White and Asian counterparts. Perhaps, this has been on the grounds of low income and discrimination based on race. Moreover, students with disabilities have also not been adequately represented in the higher education, in United States. Besides, the needs of the few African-Americans, the Hispanic and the Native American students ...

Jacques Derrida suggests that forgiveness does not have a limited or proper meaning. People cannot agree on the extent beyond which forgiveness can or cannot go. Forgiveness is so vast that it is hard to determine with certainty who and what calls for forgiveness. The idea of forgiveness asserts itself in the language that people try to adopt in search of forgiveness. The language has a religious heritage called Abrahamic. The language unites Christianity, Judaism and Islam which depicts the cosmopolitan attribute of all people (involving all religions). It is an instance where forgiveness is globalized and resembles a big scene ...

Many immigrants go to America to pursue what most people call as “the American dream”, often believing that America is the “land of milk and honey”. The problem however, is that there a number of immigrants without the necessary legal documents. Two opposing views on whether illegal immigrants should be beneficiaries of government benefits exist. Benefits given to both legal and illegal immigrants include healthcare, education, housing and employment benefits. This paper aims to show the pros and cons of giving benefits to illegal immigrants in the view that ...

The move to grant driver’s licenses to the illegal immigrants was to ensure the safety of the state road and enable security officials to track residents who lived in the shadows. Although the move was regarded as a political strategy, the immigrants advocated the proposal. The congress signed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, the plan received great criticism from democrats and republicans, as well as lawmakers who argued that it would provide an opening for terrorists. This also made Hillary Clinton, a presidential hopeful to disavow the proposal after waffling on the issue at ...

The fight for equal rights for women can be said to have existed since the dawn of civilization and a stratified culture based on patriarchal ideals of male supremacy; despite the tremendous advances that have been made since that time, there are still many instances of inequality based on gender.

Many believe that gender equality has been successfully achieved, or that women should not get equal rights. These opinions ...

Same Sex Marriage: A Human Rights Issue

Today, a majority of Americans live in a state where same-sex couples can legally marry. These marriages are recognized by the federal government and granted by 35 states. However, the debate on same-sex marriages rages on. The American reluctance to embrace same-sex marriages is seen as odd by people from other industrialized countries and is a historical anomaly as well. Same-sex unions have been sanctioned by cultures and societies from the ancient Greeks to twentieth-century Native Americans. In A History of Same Sex Marriage (1993), William Eskridge Jr. dissects the American obsession with heterosexual exclusivity of marriage. According to Eskridge, twentieth-century Americans “ ...

In the United States, one issue of concern in regard to this democratic right has risen up in recent years.

Since the revolution in many Arab countries, the number of orphan children has consequently increased, for instance in Syria (United Nations Children Education Fund 2). These children are very vulnerable because their basic needs are not being met and their future is not secured (Sherlock 1). Adoption would be a viable solution alongside other social measures. Adoption is viable since many people in the Arab countries would want to adopt children for one reason or another. The impediment is that adoption of children under Islamic law is faced with many bottlenecks. Even if it is possible to navigate the many ...

Plato in his work The Republic dialogues with other great thinkers of his era in an endeavor to develop a perfect governance system. In the dialogue, various elements of the government become prominent. The key elements are justice and leadership of the city. The dialogue seeks debate on and develops a system of governance or a city where there are minimal disputes and perfect leadership.

Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of the legalization of prostitution. It presents two major arguments in favor of and against making the trade a legal occupation. The proponents of legalization argue that legality is directly responsible for the reduction of violence, human trafficking, and the use of children in the sex market. The adversaries of legalization are of the opinion that legality contributes to the higher rates of violence, women trafficking, and child sexual exploitation. Multiple examples observed in countries like the Netherlands, Germany, the USA, and Sweden that have either made the trade legal or declared it outlawed ...

Abstract

The accountability of officials in public sector is a vital problem, as the availability of funds allocated among various public agencies and power abuse possibilities may create a dangerous environment breeding corruption. To avoid the erosion of the state apparatus, societies and citizens participate in governmental control through various forms of accountability and its initiatives. Democracy, the elimination of corruption and money mismanagement, the enhancement of state public sector efficiency, and the establishment of transparency are the undeniable benefits of public officials’ accountability. However, even the most well developed forms of accountability are far from flawless. Depending on a country, these approaches ...

Currently, one of the most heated topics of debate, capable of eliciting a strong and emotional argument, is how to best address the masses of illegal immigrants currently residing undocumented within the United States. With an estimated eleven to twelve million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States, the question of how to deal with individuals who are living and working in the country illegally is certainly no small one (Bardes 146; Schmidt 81). The basis for various viewpoints range from calm and logical economic analysis to the more primal: an impassioned and territorial, if not aggressive need to defend ...

The right for vote was very important for women in all ages, as it proved their significance and made them feel like the worthy members of societies of their countries. There is no doubt as well that not every woman could put all at stakes and choose the path of struggle in 18th or 19th century. These were difficult periods for many countries of the world, and specifically for the USA, when people were fighting for their freedom to express what they think and what they feel. However, some women had courage to put everything at stakes and sacrifice ...

Sophocles was a fifth century Greek writer whose play Oedipus Rex was exalted by Aristotle in Poetics as the perfect tragedy as it invokes both fear and pity in the audience. Aristotle explains that a tragic hero is one who is befallen by tragedy brought about primarily by factors usually outside the control of the aforementioned hero thus possessing a noble sense and attaining stature in the society. The hero he however argues is not an embodiment of righteousness but rather an ordinary man prone to the common failings of man but who stands up for his values. His fall is also ...
