Essays on Judgement

The epistolary novel and intimacy are often branded as synonymous terms. The Coquette initially aligns itself as simply an epistolary novel, as the controlled expression of the writers, and limited point of view, offered by the letter form, allows the two leading men to reveal their true thoughts, whether they are the suddenly untempered passions of Reverend Boyer or the duplicitous libertinism of Major Sanford, in a limited and controlled way. However, the often stark contrast between these written confessions and other characters’ perceptions of the writers gives the reader a sense of intimacy, and involvement, in spite of ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

Youths are not generally tried in adult court for the crimes that they commit. This is because most of the crimes committed by youths are not serious enough to justify incarcerating them alongside adult offenders. Most youths are tried in juvenile court and are sentenced to serve time in juvenile detention facilities if convicted. However, this does not apply to youths who are convicted of more serious crimes, such as murder. The age at which a person can be tried in adult versus juvenile court differs between states. In forty-one states the maximum age of a juvenile before being ...

Life is a process of continuous learning, this is what I have realized in assessing all that I have learned in taking this course.

Law and Practice

Law and Practice Civil commitment is the involuntary commitment of an individual into an inpatient treatment facility for the safety of him/herself or others (Greenley, n.d.; Testa & West, 2010). This process can force an individual to submit to psychiatric care because of the inherent risk the pose to them. In a civil commitment situation, a person is deemed to be unable to make a reasoned and well-informed decision about their own welfare. This is not unlike insanity pleas which some states allow in criminal defense. Similar to those cases, and despite what a person says about themselves and their ...

Abstract

Christianity and Islam are both monotheistic religions with the same fundamental background, which are closely aligned as it relates to the presentation of the old testament, however, differing on points of the significance of Jesus and the path to salvation.

Message of Gender

The most powerful characters in the movie series Harry Potter are Albus Dumbeldore, Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort. Although, women are also shown as powerful characters, but the emphasis is on either supporting the Dark Lord or the Order, both led by males. Therefore, the movie series Harry Potter clearly outlines men as the central characters in the film series. Even though the book is fictional and based on magical world, the message sent out from his scenario is that men are more powerful wizards. Another way to look at the film series and its relation to gender is ...

Moral laws are determined by the conscience of a person and how a person is ruled by his/her morals. Morality and legality of law relate in several ways.

This is based on the premise ...

Introduction

Mark to market, also called fair value accounting, has been one of the most controversial accounting methodologies in financial reporting. Mark to market refers to an accounting process in which the reporting entities report the value of assets and liabilities as per the current market value as opposed to the book price thus making the methodology highly subjective (Association of American Bankers, 2016: Serakibi, n.d.). Therefore, since the reported value is pegged on the prevailing market value, it follows that the value of the financial statement would change as the market changes. In most cases, the change in value ...

The construct of free will was studied and it was determined that the theory of undefined free will has conventionally been rejected and/or neglected in the theory of counseling and in the field of psychology; however, in the moral arena, the freedom of self-determinism and freedom of indeterminate free will are mutually exclusive concepts. From another perspective, indeterminate free will can also be perceived to be unidirectional, acting in the direction of self-violating, negative behavior, leading to immoral behavior (Wilks & Ratheal, 2011). Whenever an individual becomes self-absorbed, there is not consideration for anyone else even if that self-absorbed individual ...

The definition of the Western Canon is always changing, according to literary critic and Yale professor Harold Bloom: but is that mutability a good thing?

While the bulk of the poem Capital Punishment by Sherman Alexie concentrates on an Indian facing capital punishment through the eyes of the prison cook, the last few lines take the focus off of the man about to be executed and places it upon the reader themselves.

The parties experience intense hatred and alienation and this widens the psychological distance between them. Eventually, this ...

Introduction

Medical marijuana legalization has taken shape of a movement in the United States of America as people continue to debate the pros and cons of legalization in the news media. Since the year 1973, 12 American states have made changes to their laws to reduce penalties for possession of marijuana (Austin, 2016). This is because there are certain pros associated with the legalization of marijuana, but the cons should not be completely avoided that come along with it. Legalization of marijuana would certainly be a success for the on-going Decriminalization Movement and will provide several economic and health pros ...

Woman Holding Balance and Birth of Venus

While art may often imitate life, it also reflects passions and beliefs. These expressions are consistent, in some ways, across history and style or form, however, each expression is unique and contains qualities that others do not. This can be seen in two iconic works with female subjects in “Woman Holding Balance” and “The Birth of Venus.” These two works are similar in their iconic representation of the female form, and their religious significance, however their medium, form, and subject matter contrast significantly. First, it is significant to consider the form. Both works are paintings, but that is where ...

Question One

Ideally, cultural relativism is a philosophical perspective, which suggests that it is difficult to make judgements or assessments against other cultures. I think cultural relativism promotes ethical action because it advises individuals against passing judgement against other cultures, thereby promoting cultural cooperation and appreciation (Cahoone 34). Furthermore, it helps individuals to accept as well as be tolerant towards other cultures that they do not understand. As a result, it promotes cultural tolerance and acceptance, which is an important ethical action.

Cultural relativism promotes cultural understanding, which helps individuals to respect each other’s culture (Cahoone 38).

Question Two On the other hand, cultural relativism is not a sound theory because it does not promote ethical ...
