After a read of Belinda Sutton’s 1783 Petition and the 1791 letter dubbed To Thomas Jefferson from Benjamin Banneker, it is impossible to overlook the authors’ shared perception of men and women of color deserving more than what the Caucasians gave them at the time. Sutton believed that after her years of captivity as the human chattel of one Isaac Royall, she should have a “morsel of [the] immense wealth” her servitude under bondage had given the master (1783, par.5). Similarly, in a wider perspective of the racist ideologies that fueled the slavery system, Banneker insisted that his ...

William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe is a documentary that follows the life of a radical-leftist attorney. However, the captivating and incendiary film is also based on the tragic form of liberal guilt. The movie revolves around the numerous cases that Kunstler was involved with until his demise.

In Kunstler’s profession, he defended the American Indian Movement, Chicago 8, the Attica Prison rioters, the Freedom Riders, and ...

NY Bar Examiner

New York, NY 10001. Dear Madam/Sir. I am an applicant for the Bar Exam that is coming up. I have already filed my candidature papers for the same. I understand from the Exam Requirements that an Official Transcript needs to be sent to the Bar Board in order for a candidate to be allowed to take an exam. It seems that this requirement is absolutely mandatory and a waiver for the same can only be granted by the Bar Examiner. It is for this reason that I am writing this letter, which also supports the earlier petition that I ...

In an average week, I spend far more time consuming media labeled as popular culture than I do things considered high art—and I am not alone in this. Recent reports show that the average American watches more than five hours of television a day, in addition to time spent consuming other media through the internet or radio (Hinckley). Those who bemoan these types of statistics as a sign of society’s downward spiral fail to consider the possibility that the narratives taking place on the small screen of today are just as artistic as those that took place ...

Rights to Freedom of Speech, Religion, Petition and Press

The right to freedom of speech provides me with the opportunity to express myself without any form of constraint from the government. In order for the government to interfere with my right to freedom of speech since then, the Supreme Court dictates that substantial justification is provided. Justification might include causing violence or breach of peace through speech. The freedom of religion provides me with the opportunity to assemble and interact with people we share the same beliefs. The government is not allowed to pass any legislation that establishes an official religion or in favor of a particular religion. ...

Eugenics is defined by Coutts and McCarrick (1995, p.163) as the methods used in perfecting the human race thorough genetic technologies or the traditional genetic selection (Sparrow, 2010, p.288). But this definition was twisted to defend the enhancement of human beings by sterilizing those who are considered to be inadequate (Coutts and McCarrick, p.1995, p.163). The definition of an inadequate genetic heredity was defined by the 1924 Virginia Eugenical Sterilization Act to include feeblemindedness and sexual promiscuity, which is believed to be be passed on to the next generation (Claude, 2004). The first test subject for the sterilization law ...

In chapter 8 of the book What God Wishes Christians Knew, Gilham gives his views on the new covenant, the role of Christian law in the lives of Christians and the four gospels. He starts off by expressing his interpretation of the new covenant. Gilliam believes the account of the new covenant began in Acts chapter 2 rather than the modern theological thought, Matthew chapter 2. 1 He is of this view for some reasons. First, though Gillham believes that the Bible is inspired of God he does not believe that alterations to verses, chapter divisions made by editors ...

In the court systems, various felonies are penalized following the court's guidelines. There are a variety of particulars that go into a sentencing pronouncement. An individual who commits a financial fraud may go to jail for a longer period, compared to someone who commits murder, as is the case of Bernard Madoff, who went to jail for 150 years for committing financial crime and Karla Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder. It is, however, clear that an extensive range of verdicts are not necessarily rational to the victims or the scam culprits. This paper looks ...

Three of the provisions contained in the first amendment in the US Bill of rights have changed the way prisoners are treated and how they seek fair treatment in the hands of the criminal justice system (Witte & Nichols 2011).

Secondly, that individuals and entities have the right to petition the government and thirdly, the right to choose one's religion.

Nowadays lobbyists are an important actor of American political system, but their influence is exaggerated by the public. There were some scandals concerning the activity of some lobbyists that had a very negative impact on the overall reputation of lobbyists. Nevertheless, they work in accordance with American laws and have the right “to petition the government for a redress of grievances” written in the First Amendment of the Constitution (Cited in Roos, n.d.). Therefore they are one of the many special interest groups that are able to communicate with politicians and persuade them to pass or defeat new legislation. ...

Definition of Human Trafficking

There are many definitions of human trafficking; one of the best ones is given by the Department of Homeland Services: “Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain” (DHS, 2015).

The first case was a criminal case that involved a woman who was raped in a New York train station, where none of the transit workers had an initiative to help the victim. The main principle of the ruling says that an individual must not be held accountable in cases where he or she was not responsible for putting another person’s life in danger or risk. The court ruled the transit workers not guilty under the application of this rule, because according to the New York judge who held the case, the workers did not have any legal ...

History of national healthcare reform

The quest for the universal healthcare in the United States has dominated political debates for the last 100 years (Shi & Singh, 2014). The proponents of a universal healthcare system have made frantic efforts to reform the system. However, each time they have attempted, they have often been met by challenges, which lead to defeat. Unlike other developed countries which have comprehensive health insurance for their citizens, the United States still struggles attain a universal healthcare system.

The campaign dubbed “healthier you” (HY) seeks to bring together various stakeholders from the Northeastern University to fight unhealthy eating and especially obesity. The realization that the university’s dining halls do not offer the students healthy food choices informs the campaign. The dining halls are filled with junk foods which are likely to make the students obese. The root of the problem of unhealthy eating in the university can be traced back to the policies that the university applies when renting out university space. Over the years, the policies look into whether an individual or an organization renting ...

Abstract

This is an advocacy letter on hormones in food. There is growing fear that presence of hormones in food can potentially cause harm in humans. Despite the continued reassurances from food manufacturers on the safety of the hormones in the food, consumers remain a worried lot. This has been occasioned by the food processing companies’ reluctance to publish the foods that have hormones. With hormone containing foods unlabeled, associations between the introduction of hormonal ingredients into the food supply and human illness present a difficult task to be systematically tested and causation conclusively established. This letter is targeted at ...

As advertising and PR professionals, we are in favor of the FCC’s proposed regulation on net neutrality. This piece of legislation will help ensure that the internet remains open and free. Keeping the internet “open” will have lots of advantages for internet consumers in the United States. It will mean that they will be able to browse to any site they want, at any time, because the regulations will prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking sites. The regulations also prohibit the creation of internet “fast lanes” that treat wholesale and retail customers of ISPs to different traffic ...

For many people who smoke electronic cigarettes, the main purpose is to combat nicotine addiction – this way people are trying to quit smoking modern tobacco products. Exploring the topic how effective the electronic cigarette is in combat against tobacco smoking, I pursue the only goal to prove that today the electronic cigarette is the life-saving panacea, which does not require the rejection of the smoking ritual but at the same time it does not cause the dangerous harm to the body of a smoker.

The Hurstville City Council has had plans to build a mosque in South Hurstville, but resistance by Australia’s anti-Muslim groups has often met this. The ugly row over the construction of the $ 3 million new mosques has taken a different angle, as the anti-Muslims groups have continued to incite and seek support from the residents who live outside the South of Hurstville to oppose it (Natalie, 2016, p.9).

Introduction

Neoliberalism is both an economic and political ideology which proposes a new way in which states are restricted from interfering with the economic affairs and general day to day dealings of their private citizens. This concept was developed by Adam Smith in 1770 when he posited that government should not be allowed to be involved in the economy of the country and initially it was called liberalism. This stance borrowed heavily from the laissez faire principle which required that traders should be let free to negotiate their own terms of engagement. Adam’s conception was challenged in ...

Re: Prosecutorial Disclosure of Evidence to Defense Counsel

Beginning in the 1960s, the Supreme Court heard a number of cases that transformed the world of criminal procedure. The common theme running through all of these cases is that the Court began to focus on balancing the defendant’s rights against that of the government in a criminal proceeding. One of the areas that were specifically addressed was whether the Constitution required the Prosecutor to disclose evidence that tends to be advantageous to the defense. While the Prosecutor and the defense are adversaries in a criminal court of law, the Supreme Court maintains that under some circumstances, the ...

For centuries, the Bible has been one of the most important books for many cultures, including the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. All these cultures were united by the first books of the Bible, and interestingly enough, they all have pretty much the same understanding and interpretation of the events written in there. But when the New Testament was written, the cultures split. Christianity started to worship Jesus as the only prophet and his Father as the only God. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus’ disciple teaches us how to live a proper life and be in peace ...

The Mouse`s Petition addressed to Dr. Priestley by Barbauld was never destined as a large-scale incursion on the scientific inquiry rather a unique, masterful study on the two most good drives, a person`s instinct to use his or her philosophical mind or wiles to acquire proper knowledge and ethical practices towards nature. Also, Barbauld describes the petition as much beyond a typical “showdown between the feminine sensibility and the scientific patriarchy. The poet is not much hostile to the learning and science ways but rather becomes sensitive to the entire requirements of the ethical actions. Inclusion, petition` ...

The film portrayed the central characters similarly to the book. The “Gideon’s trumpet was interesting in the sense that it was able to show the events that took place during the actual court case involving Gideon v. Wainwright.

The character who portrayed the part of Clarence Earl Gideon was Henry Fonda (Avery 212). The character of Gideon was an exact replica of the persona presented in the book as the man from Florida, who was ...
