The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

In addition, the HIV/AIDS infection rate in the country remains ...

Although not many of us realize it, gender is an important aspect in how we present ourselves in the society we interact with daily. The gender and sexuality of a person has an impact on his or her behavior, actions, and attitudes in general (West & Zimmerman). In order to see how gender influence actions, I decided to analyze my behavior myself. Immediately after waking up in the morning, I first check my phone for messages and updates from my social media accounts. Afterwards, I get up from the bed and go through my morning routines—washing my face, taking ...

Organizational change is an importance transition element that involves the active transitions of change management processes. The Becker Hospital Review considers positive change as essential in the rapid release of inpatient operations among critical care patients. Nonetheless, change occurs in a systematic manner as opposed to instantaneous existence upon random announcements. That is, when organizations experience change, they move from known to unknown methods of operations. For successful change management, therefore, it is vital to break change instances into distinct steps. The idea here targets the need for successful adoption through tailored approaches (MacDonald, 2011). Health is a vital ...

Dante’s Inferno is a play that has a carefully worked out structure that gives the impression that there is specific punishment for particular crimes depending on the severity of the latter. From the outset, it is important to note that the vision of hell that the play illustrates causes the audience to perceive the trip to hell as a horrifying experience, especially when Dante creates the impression that every person has to undergo punishment because everyone is a sinner, one way or another. The structure that the play creates has nine circles with each with each representing different ...

There are some who are quick to point out how women are photographed in other places that are not just the home or some sexual setting. Take the famous picture of the woman in the blue overalls saying “We Can Do It!” that appeared during wartime for example. This particular piece of propaganda demonstrates how women can feel powerful in their own right as they held down the home front while the men were away. Not only that but they helped to provide the materials that the soldiers needed over on the battlefield. The other interesting thing about this ...

In this July 2013 trial, George Zimmerman stood accused of the second-degree murder of teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman had shot Martin in February 2012 after a confrontation between the two in Sanford, Florida. From the beginning, Zimmerman defense team did not deny that he had shot Martin but rather that he shot Martin in self-defense (Linder, 2014). Claiming self-defense is one of the fundamental principles of exculpation in criminal law. The theory underlying exculpation holds that in some situations although a person has otherwise acted criminally, their actions are justified and therefore should not be subject to punishment.

Research Paper Draft: The Hospitality Law and Privacy

Introduction Privacy, including information privacy, has become one of the great concerns of our modern information society. Each day, without much difficulty, one can find a news story or report concerning some question of privacy. The main focus of these questions, however, have centered around the age-old debate between what is the best balance between security and privacy. That is to say, very little public, media or government attention has focused on other equally important areas of privacy including privacy in the private sector, such as in the hospitality industry. Nowadays, the hospitality industry increasingly has access mountains of ...

Barack Obama has become a paradoxical figure of the United States. He is one of the most popular “lame-duck” presidents in history. He handily won his election and reelection, and has reinforced the democratic base. He has given African Americans a voice and has proven that African Americans can be powerful and effective leaders despite a congress that will openly work against them. From out of the woodwork, we now have a Republican presidential candidate who is seemingly racist, who is commended by his supporters for speaking “the truth” regarding black, Hispanic and Muslim people and citizens. Obama provided ...

Two stories from the crime pages in Florida make the mind roil in terms of their ethical consideration, but they also raise some interesting questions about the role that fate and free will combine to play in our lives. The first is the story of Casey Anthony. Even though a jury acquitted her of the charge of murder, the preponderance of the evidence, at least to many, indicated that she more than likely used duct tape to suffocate her daughter and then dumped the body somewhere where it took a repairman weeks to find it. The second is the ...
