Essays on Arbitrary

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 ...

The social construction of gender is a prevailing concern among many social theorists and modern culture, particularly as society becomes more aware of the often arbitrary delineations between what is ‘male’ or ‘female’ about things like behavior, dress and attitude. Aaron Devor’s “Gender Role Behaviors and Attitudes” explicitly explores these issues of the cultural construct of gender, particularly the ways in which male and female behaviors are defined and categorized. This becomes especially important in the context of Mariah Burton Nelson’s “I Won, I’m Sorry,” which looks at these stratified gender behaviors in the context of ...

The primary objective for the formation of the European Economic Community (ECC) was to create a common market to enhance the achievement of a trading advantage over other Atlantic states. The member states hoped that the move would spur growth by promoting marketing scale and capitalizing on specialization among the member states. However, the ECC faced many technicalities when creating a common market due to lack of strategic decision-making structures and protectionist attitude adopted by members. It was especially difficult to remove barriers and enforce common trade regulation. For a common market to have some effect, freedom of capital, ...

The relationship between music and emotions has long been the subject of philosophical discussion. In this sense, one of the greatest thinkers of all time, Aristotle, believed that music could decidedly and substantially modify a person’s way of being. If one were to listen to bad music for excessive periods of time, one would become a bad person; conversely, if one desired to be good, one would have to listen to the right kind of music. Nevertheless, it is important to critique this in three different ways, as it is a very problematic statement. First, one would have ...

Vital stakeholders in advocating & protection of children's rights

The current global society faces several challenges one of them being the increase in the number of orphaned and abandoned children. In war-affected regions such as the ongoing war in Syria, several children have been left to fend for themselves after the death of their parents/guardians. In other cases, early marriages have been the cause for the increase in the number of abandoned children. According to recent statistics from UNICEF, the number of orphaned children in 2016 is 132 million (Grovogui, 2016). The same organization reports that there are over 30 million children forced to live away from their ...

Business Law Case Study

The issue for determination in this scenario is whether or not the service of process on Dr. Bardwell through his wife service was an effective service. An effective service of process is undertaken when the summons and complaint are handed to the defendant himself, but not any other person. Personal service of process in this case means that even when the complaint and summons are left where the defendant operates business or where he lives, and the agent therein accepts service and signs, it is considered to have been effected, even when it is delivered via registered mail.

Was it a proper service when the summons was mailed to the defendant medical clinic? Whether the Minnesota court should invalidate the Tennessee judgment. Rule The general principle under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is that service can be made personally to the defendant, left in their place of residence or business or through an email.

Introduction Death, as a form of punishment, is being practiced even in the earliest days of human civilization. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, during the time of Hammurabi, have been observed to perform death sentences on certain transgressions and immoral acts, as determined by their codes . Similarly, the Hebrews has also been using death as a capital punishment for several transgressions under their law. The traditional Law of Moses, which can also be read in the Christian bible, is, in fact, a relic of the age old tradition of exacting death penalty that has been practiced for ...

Within each society, people build relationships that foster growth and development as people interact with each other. The relationships vary according to the work and social standards of the specific society. In other words, most people in a particular society will work together to develop a common idea that will help to bind people together as a community. Within these societies, there are those simple or common guiding principles that are practiced for extended periods and become an integral part of the culture and the traditions of the society. But, not all consensuses within the society will guarantee the ...

In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995). Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 205) indicate that the term less developed country (LDC) fosters images of backwardness, poverty, and lower levels of technological sophistication. They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. Since obscenity does not form part of ...

Game theory has become more and more useful in making various decisions of a company. A company need formulate the strategy it should take when facing numerous competitors. The study aims to investigate the general compatibility of single-valued solutions of core selection and aggregate monotonicity. A transferable utility cooperative game ensures that the different outcomes can be improved by a set and coalition of players. Aggregate monotonicity implies that when the grand coalition becomes more and more profitable, the other qualities should have an increased payoff (Calleja 6). Core selection and aggregate monotonicity work hand in hand to produce ...

Argumentative Essay: Capital Punishment

Introduction Capital punishment is one of the most controversial topics pertaining to criminal punishment. For many years, this issue has been debated, yet until today, no conclusive position has been reached especially in the United States. Discussing the issue of capital punishment is important primarily because people are divided on whether capital punishment should be imposed or abolished. Furthermore, capital punishment raises an ethical dilemma that needs to be resolved since it is crucial in achieving a just justice system. This paper would like to argue that capital punishment is a just form of punishment.

The arguments that support ...

Compare the Biblical doctrine of creation with the 20th-century scientific explanation of the origins of the universe (e.g. the “Big Bang”). Your comparison should include some assessment of the ultimate compatibility or incompatibility of the two teachings In today’s world there are as of now two broadly acknowledged exploratory speculations clarifying how planet earth was shaped. Creationists trust that God made the sky and the earth, and that God said let there be light, and there was light. Creationists don't trust that arbitrary events of nature started the start of life as we probably am aware it. Creationists ...

In fact, there are considerable differences in physical activity, emotions, interests, perception between men and women. Numerous scientists have explored and discussed if these differences are conditioned by social factors or biology. To make it clear, some think that it is biology that defines human behavior, tastes, skills etc.; others adhere to the opinion that society is a more influential impact on formation of behavior. In other words, socially created features of men and women are called "gender", "sex" is determined by biology. Unfortunately, nowadays it is possible to see numerous mistakes and discrepancies concerning the use of both ...

Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

The Feminine Divine: Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

Artemis is a divine representation of nature’s primal force and its capacity for self-preservation. Her archetype is, as Ginette Paris has said, connected to global ecology through the cycle of life and death, and of sacrifice in the sense that death itself plays a necessary role in maintaining the natural equilibrium (Paris, 2009). A feminist goddess, she is suppliant to women in childbirth in which she holds power over life and death. Through Artemis’ intervention, as Paris asserts, abortion becomes a sacred act intimately tied to maternal love; it is not a manifestation ...
