The United States judicial system offers certain protections for criminal suspects who are at risk of arrest or a search without a warrant. One of the most important safeguards afforded under the U.S. Constitution is the 4th amendment, which prevents government officials from illegally searching individuals or seizing property without following standard procedure. The concept has evolved over time, and the exclusionary rule is now the primary way to defend people from illegal search and seizure by government officials. However, history has shown that this is an ineffective solution because it allows those who would have been convicted to ...

In the beginning of the semester, I wrote on the Discussion Board that even though I am from Asia and people may think that I am familiar with religions of Asia, I did not have much understanding of various religious faiths in Asia. Because I have never believed or practiced any religion in my whole life, I did not have much interest about religions of Asia or elsewhere.

However, since I first saw the video about the Ramayana, I started to gain some interest in religion. I thought that religion might be amiable and interesting given that some ...

In my previous paper, I outlined some of the encounters that I can describe as defining moments. As a matter of fact, a defining moment is any instance that in one way or another affects the life course of a person. Apparently, the defining moments as narrated before were the meeting with the motivational speaker, and the unfortunate squabble between my best friend and me in our adolescent days. Clearly, of these encounters the former was quite inspiring and constructive. On the contrary, the latter was characterized by adversity because after the encounter, I was regretful, stressed out and shamefaced. These feelings ...

Osonye Tess Onwueme’s “Tell It to Women” acts as a time capsule, taking the reader back in time to postcolonial Africa and a time or erratic feminist behavior. The book’s primary purpose appears to show the separation between traditionalism and modernism, as different cultures interacted and blended. However, this is not entirely clear until the end, when a concise meaning for culture is given. Tess Onwueme believed culture was derived from the passion that ignited the very culture’s desire to stay together, it appears. The familiarity of their arts, traditions, customs, and manners were all a part of the culture. ...

Feudalism and patrimonial are two key factors in the styles of governance in the country, but how much has both systems affected the modern society? The very core of the society rests on the history of the world. Countries model their policies on past experiences so as to improve the conditions for the people. Of course, there are countries that continue to hold on to the traditions of the past and find that they have not accepted modernization. Interestingly, there are others who have changed from the steadfast practices of feudalism and patrimonial systems of governance, but, still they ...

Many states of the world have legalized same sex marriages or in other words, gay marriages.

Human rights activist often support the idea of gay marriage because they believe nobody has the right to dictate individuals about, who to marry.

In Sophocles’ Theban play Antigone, the titular character defies the orders of her king in order to permit an honorable burial for her brother, who had just rebelled against the state of Greece. By showing the flaws of the state, Antigone is successful in her suicide; Antigone’s steadfast dedication to the individual and the family unit (supported by the gods) is a harsh critique of the cold-hearted nature of the state, as well as the corrupting nature of power. While Antigone knows systemic oppression as a woman, she knows she must fight for what she feels is right; Creon is ...

History With the crime rate steadily increasing in the United States, there have been talks of reinstating death penalty or capital punishment. This issue has sparked debate among people from different institutions. Capital punishment, however, is not something new. Historically, capital punishment was already used in ancient Babylonia (which is now called Iraq) as early as the 1700s B.C. and the specifics are written in the Code of Hammurabi, a legal document stating 25 crimes, including adultery but excluding murder, punishable by death (Guernsey ...

SOCRATES - GLAUCON AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

The dictionary definition of moral integrity is “steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code” (American Heritage Dictionary, 2009). To my mind, that speaks primarily to a sense of ethics; people have to decide upon what they believe is right and wrong, and style their life after that definition. For the most part, that dictionary definition is correct, as there is no one universal sense of morality – one simply has to act on what they believe is right. To that end, I would revise the dictionary definition of moral integrity, appending its existing definition with the phrase “without conscious betrayal ...

According to recent reports all across the world Islam is becoming more popular including “in the United States, and among students on college and university campuses."

The fact that Islam has become increasingly popular means that more people are seriously looking at the lessons ...
