On August 9th, 2014, Michael Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were walking in the middle of the street when they were approached by a police officer by the name of Darren Wilson. With there being altered stories explaining what happened next rather than choosing one side of the story we can agree that an altercation occurred and it led to the unfortunate death of eighteen year old Michael Brown. Because of the differing stories and videos online, I will not focus on whether I feel like the killing of Michael Brown was justified, but whether the process to indict/or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson was justified and not flawed. Beginning as soon as you read the table of contents of the DOJ report on the Ferguson Police Department…
Philosophical analysts and scientists all over the nation continue to raise arguments when looking at the story of Chris McCandless and his journey. While some recognize him as a romantic hero following a life immersed in the nature of the world, some choose to see him as a fool for thinking he could live this lifestyle. When looking at both arguments, it comes down to the issue of morals, and the lifestyle the person analyzing has grown up in. Morals and values heavily influence the opinions of what Chris McCandless did with his life, even though it was his right to do as he pleased. To begin, by looking at both sides of the argument I believe my social environment helps shape my opinion of this story.…

I, § 8, cl. 1, of the Constitution, and violates the Twenty-first Amendment. The District Court rejected the State's claims, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.…

Case Study-Jack • Do you think that Jack’s current unwillingness to become vulnerable to others out of his fear of “being dependent on them and trapped by their love” has much to do with his mother’s unconditional love?

I think Jack’s relationship issues stem from his relationships with both of his parents.…
Exigent circumstances are considered instances when it is appropriate for officers to conduct a warrantless search outside of the scope of the Fourth Amendment search and seizure rule. The Fourth Amendment states that every person has the right to be secure in their house, papers, person and effects against unreasonable search and seizure, and no warrant issued unless probable cause is present and supported by an oath or affirmation describing the person, place or thing to be seized (Strasser, 2008). Nevertheless, exigent circumstances are an exception to the rule in emergency situations when an officer has probable cause and no time to secure a warrant in cases where it is necessary to avoid a flight risks, loss of evidence, individual harm, hot pursuits, and movement of a vehicle (Swanson et al., 2011, p. 32). For example, if a call came in that shots had been fired in a residence, then it is reasonable to believe that a victim has been harmed and in need of emergency assistance, so officers have the right to enter the home without a warrant to offer assistance and search the premises for the assailant to avoid harm to themselves and others.…
