Issues Regarding the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment

This law protects the person from incriminating himself to a crime, from possible improper methods to be used by law enforcement either through deceit, coercion or threats (Snitker). By encouraging silence in the face of the need for legal defense, this law wisely leads the accused to seek legal assistance.

Protection to the Criminal Defendant

Self-preservation is a natural right of any person and he may abuse this right by unknowingly withholding cooperation in judicial processes against crime. Excessive protection can be treated with reasonable approaches by law enforcement so that the Fifth will not overly and inappropriately protect defendants.

Introduction

Maeder, et al. (2016) defined “CSI effect” as the unreasonable expectations of jurors on the sophistication of forensic science as a consequence of learning about it through television programs, such as the CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), resulting in fewer convictions in the absence of sophisticated forensic evidence against the accused. Lobo and Schnobrich-Davis (2015) referred to this as the “Tech effect”, which essentially extends the definition into the advances in information dissemination technology and beyond ‘crime scene television shows’.

Article Summary

Research questions: The Lobo and Schnobrich-Davis (2015) study was guided by three research questions: (1) Does the CSI effect (as ...

Given the background of the story “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, one can easily tell that the princess-barbarian is in quite an ethical dilemma. If she points to the right door – where a lady waits to be married to her lover – she loses. Of course, if she points to the wrong one – where a ferocious tiger awaits the unsuspecting youth – she still loses. If you put yourself in her position, it would be truly difficult to choose her barbaric nature over love and that the author points out. Still, if the young man she loves marries ...

Have you ever been asked by a fellow parent advice when it comes to parenting? Is there an exact science to having characteristics of being a good parent and raising children? I would say absolutely not! There isn’t always an exact science to most things in life but you sure can stick to some of the basics when preparing for the process of raising children. As long as parents are sure that their actions are ethical and lead to the holistic development of their children, they do justice to parenting their little ones. From my experience, on the ...

Paper Submission Date “Seeming” in Hamlet In Hamlet, William Shakespeare uses the word “seeming” three times: The first time is in Act I, Scene 5. This is the scene between Hamlet and the Ghost of his father. In describing the evil nature of the character of Claudius, the king's brother and his murderer, the Ghost says, “The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen:/ O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there!” (Shakespeare n.p.). In this sentence, the Ghost is explaining how the queen, who was assumed to be virtuous, let her will be influenced by Claudius. The word “seeming” means ...

Even if Macbeth and the Tell-Tale Heart, penned by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe respectively, were written centuries apart, it’s the common theme of guilt expressed so well in the latter that helps us imagine Lady Macbeth’s state of mind (Deighton). In particular, it is the pangs of guilt that she suffers from throughout the play after coercing her husband to commit regicide - to kill King Duncan - who consider Macbeth to be an ally and friend. In the Tell-Tale Heart, the killer suffers from delusions after committing the deed in killing the old man and ...

The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species.

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

During this time, unknown to the rest of Europe Hitler and the Nazis were also implementing their “final solution” which was the systematic execution of Jews and any others that they deemed not suitable to exist in the ideal society that Hitler had been selling to the German people through his speeches and propaganda (Kershaw, 2008, pgs. 36-43).

. This essay on Orwell’s work in question will seek to examine the striking theme of guilt and shame as depicted by the author in his writing, as well as the painful, contradictory nature of his own feelings versus actions.

Summary of Ethical Dilemma: Low Nurse-Patient Ratio

Friedrich Nietzsche The madman Where is God? he cried. I’ll tell you! You have killed him – you and I! We are all his murderers. But how did we do this? How were we able to drink up the sea?

The Lawyer-Client Relationship The lawyer-client relationship should be based on trust and confidentiality. Under no circumstances should a client lie to his or her lawyer as well as under no circumstances should a lawyer incriminate his or her client for telling them the truth.

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Introduction

When operating within the healthcare industry, it is important for health professionals to adhere to a set of legal and ethical standards that define their connection to the profession. The legal and ethical standards act as a set of rules that govern the overall performance of health professions with an aim of ensuring that they perform based on the expectations from their patients. However, one of the key challenges arising from these legal and ethical standards is that they tend to bring about a platform for conflicting expectations especially on matters associated the decision-making element.

According to Kelly, the four common elements in human disturbance are a threat, fear, anxiety, and guilt. The threat is an apprehension or fear of the firmness one’s basic constructs and beliefs of being shaken by something or someone (Devine, 2014). Fear, on the other hand, is more specific in itself and for one to experience fear requires some incident, some circumstance or a solid reason of one’s constructs being modified (Devine, 2014). Anxiety, similarly, is the experience when people cannot effectively cope with a new situation in life. A concept similar to this is pathological anxiety ...

INTRODUCTON

When people think of crime their first inclination is to envision men in masks robbing a bank at gunpoint, drug dealers selling drugs to children on the street and, in the most extreme cases, murder. However, there are many different types of crime and not all of them are violent, not all involve acts that are easily identified and happen a lot more often that the general public probably thinks. White-collar Crime was first identified the mid 20th century by Edwin Sutherland. However, white-collar crime, which is the term given to financial crimes committed by the middle and higher ...

Essay Plan

Introduction/ Thesis Cowlishaw may have a point, but it is understandable that the country would focus on the Stolen Generation rather than the generation before. This is because the children of the Stolen Generation were taken from their families from 1905-1970’s. Many of these individuals are still alive and can give first-hand accounts of their experiences. The ability to hear a person describe something that personally happened to them tends to resonate more than a story that has been passed down. This paper will discuss Gillian Cowlishaw’s fear that the memories of the older Aboriginal people regarding ...

KPMG was investigated from 2001 onwards by the IRS because the company failed to properly regulate and monitor the use of tax havens. Complex accounting and auditing schemes challenged the company’s corporate governance and ethics. The professional code of conduct of all the staff and partners were often overlooked for business that was capitalist and maximised profit at the expense of the reputation and integrity of KPMG. The new chairman of the company faced a difficult ethical dilemma and created alternatives that would result in the best action to save the company and to minimise the consequences for ...

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land.

While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today.

Throughout the course of modern history, numerous events have revolved around the Middle East, affecting the cultural perspectives of the people living there.

The creation of Israel in 1948 created a massive power shift in the region, as the Arab nations attempted to retake the territory but were soundly defeated, and again in 1967. The Second World War engulfed the North African Muslim countries, ...

The Defense Counsel was called Chris Churchill

Nature of the Matter: Criminal Case What Happened: A Description The accused in this case had been charged with the offenses of possession of stolen property and stolen identity or identity theft.

When Herman Melville was writing, capital punishment was a much more commonly used punishment than it is in our own time, and as much as modern death penalty opponents talk about the mistaken use of it in cases when the convict has been wrongly sentenced, the swiftness of the execution and the shoddiness of the evidentiary requirements in Melville’s time were comparatively barbaric. Captain Vere is typical of the sort of judge who would have rendered that sentence in that day, brought in at the last moment and then hearing a fairly swift (and legally shaky) summary of ...

What are your thoughts on Nietzsche’s ideas about exuberance?

Nietzsche has a valid point, while there are moral lines that one should never cross, such as murder and rape. This is because if there were not some kind of line drawn humankind would debase themselves like animals, seeking only their own pleasure and desire to the detriment of others. Even though the idea of a soul existed long before Christianity, there was no concept of a heaven. The closest that any pre-Christian religion came to was the Elysian Field in the Greek and Roman religions. The Elysian Fields were a place that very few people went to as ...

Murder, whether it is committed in war as an act of defense, is a heaviness that will haunt the soldiers who do survive and return home. Noah Pierce, being described ...

Happiness is one of the most sought, but yet one of the most elusive humankind’s wishes. The greatest thinkers in history have all touched the idea of the happiness, and possibly how to attain it. Many Buddhists will avoid any activity that causes pleasure, since they believe that positive physical sensations distract the brain from achieving meaningful moral clarity. In the Western world, the Utilitarian theory that happiness derives from the most amount of pleasure minus the least amount of pain, has really taken off in the last 50 years (with advertising suggesting that instant and temporary satisfaction ...

Nemesis, a novel by Philip Roth, gives a protagonist view of what is good, and what is wrong in the lives of human beings. Moreover, the novel gives an opposing view on a religious basis, but the antagonism is set in a virtual or imaginary basis, as the main character, Bucky, contradicts the view of others by supernatural eventualities. Moreover, Bucky is faced with vast guilt that alienated him from his life (Roth 21). Apparently, the author depicts that Bucky has poor eyesight and natural defect that makes him unfit to serve his country during the World War 2. ...

Individual Reaction to the Advent of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction Through advancements in science and technology, human beings have managed to create machines that work more or less in the same way as the human brain, performing tasks like mathematical calculations and language translations. This is what has come to be known as Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the kind of intelligence that machines exhibit when certain manipulations and programming is done to them. Some of these machines like the IBM computer, Watson, are capable of mimicking or performing certain cognitive functions that are normally associated with the human brain only. Artificial intelligence research thus deals with problems ...

The Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Society by S. Freud

Besides the fact that Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis and many other important psychological theories, this great psychoanalyst also had his own unique views on society and the processes within it. Most of his theories related to such concepts as "libido", "groups", and "crowd" form rather a strange and ambiguous interpretation of society. Freud hardly distinguished the individual from the context of the whole society and divided the society itself into the crowd, or the groups, which is compared with the primitive horde. This radical disregard for the human qualities of the individual, as a separate and ...
