Essays on Imposition

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out. The accord inflicted quotas on the amount developing countries could export to the developed world. It was meant to help the developed countries adjust to existing absolute advantage that the developing countries have in the textile industry. The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

Why did you choose to analyze this company?

I chose the Coca-Cola Company because of the apparent simplicity of its business: to sell sugary drinks to the world. They can do it better than anyone else and provide a good return to investors.

What were the opinions of some of your referenced articles on this stock as an investment?

One of the articles indicated that Coca-Cola was taking a hit from the Euro: the relative strength of the European currency versus emerging markets’ currencies explained a decrease in 2.7% of total revenue, despite an increase in total volume of sales (Coca-Cola Weakened by Strong Euro, 2016). Other two articles pointed to a more serious long-run threat: the imposition of a sugar tax in ...

The American civil war in the West: Grant’s River War

Introduction The American Civil War is among the majorly discussed wars in the history of the United States. Ideally, Civil War is considered a central event in the U.S historical civilisation. While it is evident that the revolution that occurred in 1776-1783 facilitated the establishment of the United States, the American Civil War of 1861-1865 provided a suitable platform for the determination of the future of the United States (Doyle, 2014). Fundamentally, it offered the solutions to two major questions initially created by the revolution, and these included whether the United States was going to be transformed into a ...

Several factors have led to the rapid changes in sentencing structures in the United States. According to Latessa and Smith: “Following a very long period of relative inactivity (1930-1974), American sentencing laws and practices began to undergo rapid change, a fundamental restructuring of the sentencing process” (2015, p. 19). This is supported by Phelps (2011, p. 33), who argued that “Scholars of mass incarceration point to the 1970s as a pivotal turning point in US penal history, marked by a shift towards more punitive policies and a consensus that ‘nothing works’ in rehabilitating inmates.” Four main factors have been ...

Introduction

In the opinion of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, the death penalty must be removed from the operations of the international community in the 21st century. Moreover, Ban called for all the states to implement steps designed to abolish capital punishment from their respective legal systems. Nonetheless, The UN head proffered concern on laws in a number of countries that allows the death penalty to be imposed on juvenile offenders and on large groups of people (UN News Center, 2014). Many of the countries in a recent summit for the abolition of the death penalty who do ...

It needs to be reckoned that the there is a difference between the sex of a person and the gender identity. In a society that is largely patriarchal in nature, the societal institutions come to impose the gender on the individual based on the sexual identity that the person is born with. However, this process of gender construction is not a natural phenomenon and can be described to be rather an imposition as per the parameters of patriarchy and its norms. As one goes through the story, All You Zombies, written by Robert A. Heinlein, one finds the exploration ...

The case of Roper vs. Simmons is a case that involved the issuance of a ruling by the United States Supreme Court holding and arguing that imposing capital punishment on minors was unconstitutional. The case of Roper vs. Simmons had the punishment extents of juveniles involved in murder cases lowered contrary to an earlier strict ruling in cases involving minors. For example, in previous years, the Supreme Court issued stern decisions on cases such as Stanford vs. Kentucky case of 1989. Accordingly, the Supreme Court went ahead and overturned statutes in 25 states lowering penalties on minors. Also, various ...

The death penalty is imposed to provide justice as well as deter homicide and bring down the crime rate. However, evidence and research cannot provide any consensus which agrees that the crime rate goes down, or it increases with the imposition or non-imposition of the death penalty (D. Vergano, 2012). Therefore in order to determine the correctness of the gathered research, a study will be dedicated to finding out whether the death penalty deters homicide or not. The relation between the death penalty and the homicide rate is found on several variables and surveys which are analyzed, and data ...

“Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand.” These are the words of the legendary musician, Stevie Wonder. It goes to show the extent of the impact of music not only regarding entertainment but also regarding its psychological effects. Music has the power to stir the deepest of emotions and thoughts.

The Industrial Revolution was characterized by the adoption and maintenance of harsh factory rules by the industrial capitalist (Spielvogel 2014, 147). Accordingly, this paper is predicated on the thesis to the effect that there exists a direct causative correlation between the rigorous factory discipline adopted by the industrial capitalists during the industrial revolution and the success of the industries in question. Based on the efficacy or lack thereof of the Factory Rules of the Foundry and Engineering Works of the Royal Oversees Trading Company in Berlin, this paper seeks to evaluate the veracity of the thesis. It has been ...

Impact of Minimum Wage on Labor Markets

Minimum wage is the price floor imposed in the labor market to ensure that firms don’t exploit workers. Usually, the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage. The minimum wage ensures workers get adequate income that can enable them to live a decent lifestyle. This price floor is revised from time to time as per changes in the cost of living. Therefore, it disrupts the supply and demand of labor in the economy. Economists who advocate for this policy argue that it supports the low-skilled workers who are easily exploited due to their low bargaining power (David, ...

Introduction

No form of punishment engenders more controversy than the death penalty. Although capital punishment has been used since ancient times, its modern utilization is repeatedly called into question. The United States stands alone among Western world counterparts in its continued use of the death penalty. Among the international community, the general trend largely reflects a discontinuance of capital punishment. For instance, member states of the European Union have all abolished the death penalty (Shin, 2007, p. 505). Given the overwhelming number of nations that have since abolished the death penalty, it is somewhat surprising that the United States continues ...

In what ways do the five sentencing philosophies provide difference answers to this question?

In what ways do the five sentencing philosophies provide different answers to this question? Classical theories provide that punishment should fit the crime. In order for punishment to fit the crime, criminal law should provide reasonable penalties for crimes and the criminal justice system should apply these penalties in a reasonable manner (Akers, 1999). Scientific alternative interventions for criminal behavior point to pathways for fitting punishment to the criminal. Whether the punishment fits the crime or the punishment fits the criminal depends on which of the five sentencing philosophies govern the punishment of a crime. Deterrence is one sentencing ...

One definition of conservatism states that a situation tends to remain static unless acted upon by a strong external force. In the world of major college football, tradition and fiscal conservatism have combined for years to preserve a system by which a tight circle of resource-rich powerhouse programs hold sway from year to year. The major bowl games, the nearly exclusive preserve of the nation’s football elite, serve as NCAA football’s branding identity but do little to determine a quantifiable national champion. A powerful cabal of athletic directors, commissioners, university presidents and other officials maintain the sanctity of the lucrative bowl system. In ...
