Question 1 California’s Political Culture

Historically, California’s state constitution was based on the amended constitution that was first adopted before California gained statehood sometime in 1850. The initiative and the referendum were used by the state to alter its constitution, and throughout its existence the state constitution of California has been altered for about 500 times. And this can be attributed to the referendums that gained a high rate of approval from the voters. For one, the state’s administration is representative of a democratic government, which allowed the voters to participate in the approval of constitutional and statute initiatives, thus ranking California ...

The obsession with gold in California started in January 1848 when James Marshall found gold at approximately 40 miles from the Sutter’s Fort. All that followed after James’ find was extreme obsession to find the precious commodity not only in California but the rest of America. From the period henceforth, the prospect for gold became dramatic as everyone else was seeking to lay hands on the commodity (Brands 56). It is hard to imagine what could have happened if a whole population stopped their usual economic activities only to look for gold. James’ find not only transformed people’ ...

The government can also rely on such data to initiate discussions that may precipitate to policy formulation, drafting of legislations, and development of the necessary institutional framework.

At the beginning of the 1990s through to the 2000s sexual offences became a trendy topic of discussion within the sphere of legislative discourse and public dialogue. The contention surrounded the crafting of criminal legislation that would reduce recidivism of convicted sex offenders and overly reduce sexual offence cases. The initial innovations resulting from the discourse were twofold. These were the sex offender laws, which made it a statutory requirement that convicted sex offenders regularly provide crucial identification information and contacts to law enforcement authorities, upon conclusion of their incarceration; and sex offender notification laws, the latter being complementary to the ...

A-8). The State of Texas’ budget (Dewhurst & Straus, 2011) also falls under this category of traditional budgeting classification (Jacobs, ...

Cultural practices differentiate one society from another. Since culture is “the set of learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, values, and ideals that are characteristic of a particular society or population” (Ember et al. 217), a cultural tradition would speak volumes about that society. A festival, in particular, is a rich representation of particular culture. The Annual Tournament of Roses Parade at Pasadena, California is an appropriate example of such festival. This event has just turned 125 years old and it reflects the beliefs, attitudes and values of the residents, not only in Pasadena, but also in the State of California.

Standardization connotes ‘uniformity of procedures’ in administering and scoring tests. Standardized tests are for the purpose of comparing scores received by different persons.

The theme of the death penalty has always occupied a special place in the public consciousness. It is believed that the death penalty is not only a tool of criminal policy, but is also a socio-cultural phenomenon. Some researchers believe that the attitude towards the capital punishment serves as an indicator of the prevailing morals and mentalities; it is a measure of how it is imbued with the ideas of justice, humanity and civilization. To this day, due to the deep global processes of integration and globalization, the legal status of the capital punishment cannot remain static.

Many people have no idea of what they expect to achieve after retirement when asked about their retirement plans. The government’s policies about retirement do not cater for the well-being of retirees creating a lot of worry for the life after employment.

The United States of America developed labor laws during the time when the country’s economy was independent and self-contained. The main aim of ...

An optometrist has the technical ability to detect the early signs of potential ocular and systemic diseases. This is because the eyes, because of their rich blood supply, provide opportunities for inspection of the cardiovascular system. The fundus region in the eye can be observed non-invasively and directly, providing vital clues on the systemic status. Retinopathy may be caused by several factors like diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and HIV positive status (Rughani, 2013). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest contributor to mortality in the Western world. It accounts for approximately 80% premature mortality in diabetes. The optometrist plays the important ...

Evidence –based practice (EBP) is a field wherein rehabilitation of convicted offenders in California is brought about by methods that have empirical evidence of their efficacy. (Couzens, 2011) How this practice differs from the typical treatment of probation in California is the basis on empirical evidence, rather than relying on common law or traditional practice. (Couzens, 2011) Typical evidence-based practices include: assessment of risks and needs, enhancement of intrinsic motivation, targeted intervention, skills training with directed practice, increased positive reinforcement, ongoing support in natural communities and measuring and evaluating program feedback. (Couzens, 2011) The overweening goal of evidence-based practices in ...

The state of California has since been acknowledged as America’s trade setter with regard to initiating and adopting ecologically sustainable and environmentally friendly programs and policies. Therefore, table 2-1, showing the receptiveness of states to environmental policies does not come as a surprise. Nebraska, South Dakota and Mississippi, on the other hand, trail behind the table because most areas around these states are undeveloped. They seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom of the table by not adopting the requisite reforms that would be essential in protecting the environment and making it sustainable. It has been a long ...

Criminal Law

Question 1: The exclusionary rule remains to be relevant in our present legal environment. According to Slogobin (2013, p. 345), the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Mapp v. Ohio stated that the exclusionary rule is derived from constitutional origin and stays completely undisturbed which means that the Fourth Amendment mandates the suppression of illegally seized evidence in spite of its effect on the police and an efficient means to prevent police misconduct. As an effect, any evidence that is illegally obtained and violates the Fourth Amendment for unreasonable searches and seizure is inadmissible in ...

Assembly Bill 60

The Assembly Bill 60, which has since been enacted as the Safe and Responsible Driver Act, enables the issuance of driver’s license to undocumented immigrants who prove that they are residents of the State of California.

One advocate for this law, Luis Alejo, argues that the law would enable issuance of driving licenses to undocumented immigrants who would consequently be able to get insured. It is argued thus that ...

PROPOSITION 71 - CALIFORNIA STEM CELL

Introduction Proposition 71 refers to the 2004 law that was passed by the people of California to permit the conduct of research on stem cells in the state (Baker, 2004). This proposition followed several years of the former United States President George Bush’s administration, which had prohibited the conduct of research on stem cells in California. Consequently, the law brought dissimilar changes to both the constitution of the state of California as well as the fitness and safety regulations of the state. Most importantly, the act has been codified in the Californian constitution as article xxxv (Baker, ...

Ferro, Jeffrey. Juvenile Crime. New York, NY: Facts on File, 2003. Print. Jeffrey Ferro’s journal article “Juvenile Crime” gives a state by state description and analysis of juvenile or youth crime. Since my research focuses on California, it was the state that I tended to concentrate more on. He gives illustrations as to why the youth decide to become delinquent and also gives a brief history of youth criminals in California. The only negative quality that I would probably attribute to Ferro’s literature is that he tends to concentrate more on the reasons why the youth in California ...
