mmmmm dd, yyyy (Dimson, 2015) (Explore adidas, n.d.) Both advertisements are just showing the product and nothing else but their elements are making different appeals to customers. Nike is showing a strange looking model where the sport is not clear. The effect is to look into the ad closer to find out for what sport is the shoe. This is a strong catch-on for any sports shoe customer. It challenges the imagination and is invoking a challenge to the viewer. The other appeal is it is invoking science when it has the word ‘gravity’ boldly emblazoned. The message connotes ...

Introduction

The criminal justice system in the United States is complex and has a trove of advantages for the defendant in comparison to several other nations. The rights include the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent during a police interrogation. Apart from these rights, the process to find someone guilty and sentence that person is a tedious process. Unlike justice systems which rely on circumstantial evidence, the American Justice system insists on the presence of physical evidence to corroborate. In addition, a lengthy process ensures checkpoints in different areas to prevent convicting innocent people of crimes ...

As identified by the Law Commission, one of the key problems with the law of freehold covenants is that ‘whereas the benefit of a positive covenant can run at law, the burden of a positive covenant does not run so as to bind successors in title’. Despite the fact that this principle is one of the relatively comprehensible principles of the contemporary land law, in this particular case it requires additional analysis. In particular, the purpose of this research is to analyze the second part of this statement, to identify the main issues emanating from it, focusing on the ...

1) What is the purpose of a plea bargain? The purpose of a plea bargain is to ensure that the defendant gets a minimum sentence if they plead guilty ("Plea bargain," 2016). At the same time, aside from it being a controversial issue, it conserves resources in the criminal justice system. 2) According to the Office of United States’ Attorneys, "When the Government has a strong case, the Government may offer the defendant a plea deal to avoid trial and perhaps reduce his exposure to a lengthier sentence."

A. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

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 ...

Release on parole or a shortening of a prison sentence are both highly complex issues that need to be viewed from both a legal as well as humanitarian standpoint. While ‘imminent danger to society’ is an integral component in determining if parole should be granted to any convict, I believe that when the crime relates to sex offences, even more care and precaution is necessary. The option of early release should only come in question if and when there are very explicit mitigating circumstances, such as the criminal being afflicted by a mental disease that prompted the action, and ...

Nurses make a pledge to give their service to the welfare of the patients and not themselves. This can only be done by nurses who think and speak freely and independently.

As such, prosecutors and judges have adapted to the policy to carry on activities while practicing copping plea arrangements so as to reduce the number of pending cases and the pile that characterizes most of the district magistrates’ courts. On one side, the idea of a plea bargain has greatly enhanced the efficiency of the legal systems. This is because it has reduced the time for prosecutors to work on various trials as well as reducing the instances of overcrowding in jails ( ...

Critical Thinking

The 1803 purchase of Louisiana from France had a profound effect on America; it not only changed the geography of the country but also its social, political and economic pillars. The purchase, which occurred during the term of President Thomas Jefferson, had the effect of almost doubling the landmass of America (Fleming, 46). It would be interesting to evaluate America's continental and global position had the purchase not taken place. This is especially the case given that the country would have had access to the Gulf of Mexico hence denying farmers on the frontier an opportunity to engage in ...

Achebe in his novel Things Fall Apart reminds the readers of pictures of pre-colonial Africa. He claims that before the arrival of the colonists there they had their own rituals, their own religion, orders, and laws. Despite the seeming brutality of some customs, people were not so barbaric.

Achebe has written an honest, truthful humane novel about real people, their life. Of utmost interest to us are the ...
