Case Studies Case 1: During my visit to St. John 's Episcopal Cemetery in Valle Crucis, NC, I came across an interesting example of a laser etched image on Charles Dotson 's gravestone. Etched on Charles 's stone was an image of the USS San Diego along with the inscriptions "WWII," "Bronze Star Recipient," and "Brother Our Hero." Initially, I could figure that Charles was a member of the crew of the USS San Diego during his life, and that time was a defining factor of his personal identity. What I also figured was that his siblings were the ones that erected this stone, and that they had some say in what symbols were used. Following my visit to St. John 's, I wanted to learn more about how the USS San Diego figured into Charles 's life, and potentially why his siblings chose this symbol as a means of keeping their connection to their brother viable.…
Browning’s new position as the vice president and operating officer of Continental White Cap brings both ethical and moral challenges. As stated on his psychologist’s report, Browning has passion for business, “he cares about people, is sensitive to them, and makes effort to motivate them”. But, his new position drives him into a culture that has tested these features of his, thus, his moral and ethical challenges. For example, Browning enters into an company where the White family has continued to act as patrons and everyone feels comfortable in their positions. By confortable we mean that employees have high salary, high job security, free lunch, and rife with rituals, ceremonies and traditions.…
It is unlikely that Sandy Banks will be able to recover damages from Faneuil Hall. There are three reasons why a court will not hold Faneuil Hall liable for negligence. First, the discolored banana peel may have been dropped by another customer. Second, there weren’t any Faneuil Hall employees present at the time of the incident. Third, because the incident occurred after the employees cleaned and there wasn’t a recent inspection, Faneuil Hall couldn’t have reasonably discovered the banana peel.…

This photo is of a Washington State Cheerleader performing a full basket. To perform this stunt, 3 bases interlock their arms while the top girl stands crouched down on their hands. The bases dip down and then throw the top girl as high as they can into the air in a straight line as the top girl stands up. She performs a stunt when she feels weightless at the top of the throw. In this photo, you can clearly see that she is twisting her body on two different axes, but I will only be talking about her twisting on the vertical axis.…
Parents are almost always among the most influential people in a person’s life. They often contribute the most to their children’s lives by shaping them into individuals who share beliefs and attitudes akin to their guardians. In his letter of advice written to his faraway son, Lord Chesterfield reveals his own personal values that he attempts to pass on through the use of figurative language, irony, and parallel structure. Through these means he tries to restrain his son from his son from his pursuit of pleasure in favor of the pursuit of knowledge and scholastic success. Finally, Lord Chesterfield frequently employs parallel structure in his letter to emphasize certain points he wishes his son to take away.…

Lewis stood trial for Benson's attempted murder, kidnapping, rape, and assault. However, like before, he attempted to continue his legal winning streak as he feigned innocence and injury from permanent scars on the left side of his face, and claimed partial blindness in his eye and deafness in his ear, as well as limping in the courtroom--though this was likely him faking, as he showed a lot of energy when yelling at Benson. While he was able to force Benson to relive her memories as well as tormenting her throughout the trial, the jury acquitted him on the attempted murder and rape charges, but it convicted him of the charges of kidnapping and assault of a police officer, and he was sentenced to imprisonment for 25 years to life. Before he…
The trial court first concluded that the defendant was not found negligent of the injuries that the plaintiff sustained during the round of golf. However, the trial court citing negligence on the defendant quickly overturned the ruling and discredited the claims of the risk doctrine. The defendant decided to appeal his ruling and presented his case to the appeals court. Once again, the defendant presents his case citing the risk doctrine as barring the claims from the plaintiff. The appellate courts, however, affirms the ruling of the lower court stating “concluding that triable issues remained” and “the primary assumption of risk doctrine did not apply”.…
Our assigned reading titled The Committee, left me perplexed and questioning myself about the decision I would make if I were part of the committee. After reading Patrick’s case, and learning he was diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease, which is a disease of the digestive tract, and after reading about the numerous surgeries this fifteen year old had been under, making a decision to continue trying to keep him alive and try to find a cure is difficult. If I were to be part of the committee I will have to consider the patient’s opinion, maybe as him, “Patrick, do you want to keep fighting for your life?” because if the patient has the encouragement to keep going, it usually helps out. Lisa Belkin mentions that Patrick went through many surgeries…

Describe the Work Hall of Bulls is a beautiful Upper-Paleolithic cave painting made in ca. 15,000 B.C. The painting is scaled larger than life size standing 25 feet tall and 62 feet wide; and, it resides inside of a cave on a coarse, rigid, and uneven rock wall. The cave is located in a small geographical area called Lascaux located in Dordogne France. Furthermore, there is no known artist for the Hall of Bulls, because of historical ignorance and the age of the painting; however, archaeological insight shows that the Magdalenian race, a race of post-modern humans made all of the Paleolithic paintings in Lascaux (Lascaux Paintings video).…
