He speaks of nineteen laws of nature that derive from the rights of nature or the natural instinct of self-protection. The laws of nature are created in everyone’s self-interest, without them there would be no protection by a third party, only that which a person could provide for themselves. He believes that in a man’s natural state, or human nature, there are no morals, therefore man…

A prescription for a non-narcotic or non-pharmaceutical drug that has shown many benefits to people should not be out of reach in any state. Medical Marijuana must be made legal in all 50 states. Not only does it aid in treatment for countless illnesses, but it will also decrease the…

In this scenario that are a few ethical and legal issues. The first ethical issue is the store owner knew he was wrong but wanted the deputy chief to tell the junior officer not to write him a ticket.
