Historical findings: On October 29th, during debrief at (2040hrs), all BDOs were advised to be mindful of the operation after completing OLC. BDOs are expected after OLC to take their lunch. In addition, all BDOs were advised after taking their lunch, they are expected back on the checkpoint. As a result of Pritchett taking his lunch at a later time, I felt obligated during debrief to touch base with the team regarding breaks/lunches. This occurrence is the second time during Pritchett’s OLC scheduled day that he has not joined the operation in a timely manner after completing OLC. Therefore, a CORE evaluation needed to be written regarding Pritchett’s poor decision making.

    The beginning When South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860, United States Maj. Robert Anderson and his force of 85 soldiers were positioned at Fort Moultrie near the mouth of Charleston Harbor.

    Dred Scott Vs Standford Case Analysis

    In additional to conflicting views due to diversity among the North and South, Stephan Douglas’ desire to develop unorganized territory, and disinterest in the controversy of slavery, lead to influential conflicts in the sectional crisis, including the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Lecompton Constitution. These conflicts, and the additional uprising they caused further divided the country, leading the country towards sectionalism. At the time, senator of Illinois Stephan Douglas worked toward developing westward territories. Through the late 1840s and early 1850s Douglas aspired to develop and build a railroad on the remaining land from the Louisiana purchase (306). Douglas’ lack of investment in the issue of slavery lead to his support of…

    Tinker V Des Moines Case Study

    The ruling, which occurred during the Vietnam War, granted the students the right to express their political opinions as long as they did not disrupt the classroom. Their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights could not be restricted based on a “general fear of disruption,” which is what the administration argued. According to Justice Fortas, who wrote the majority opinion, the protest was a “silent, passive expression of opinion.” Though a few hostile comments had been made to the students who were wearing armbands, there had been no threats or acts of violence. Also, there had not been any findings that the armbands would substantially interfere with school operations or more importantly, harm the rights of other students.…

    Dred Scott Ruling In the Supreme Court’s decision on Dred Scott’s many consequences brought tension surrounding the issue of slavery in the United States. “In the case, the Supreme Court rules that Scott was still a slave, and therefore, he had no right to file the suit in the United State court as he was not a citizen and did not have any legal rights” (Horton). This case may have been the one of most controversial in American history due to the fact that it deals with such a disputable topic as slavery.

    DRED SCOTT V. SANFORD: THE ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS Jay Barber 25938654 HIUS-221 November 16, 2017 As seminal decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court, Dred Scott v. Sanford brought the issues of racism and slavery to the forefront of American political culture during the nineteenth century.

    Hindsight Bias In Willingham Case

    In the case of Willingham, after authorities had concluded that Willingham was likely guilty of murder, Willingham's understandable grief and shock at the scene of the fire is later construed by witnesses as overacting, pretend emotion. It is an example of hindsight bias that when people learn something new, they immediately connect it to other related memory and believe it is predictable. During the process of investigation and prosecution, eyewitnesses in the case of Willingham changed their account once told about forensic evidence suggesting that the fire was not accidental. In Diane Barbee’s initial statement to authorities, she had portrayed Willingham as “hysterical,” and described the front of the house exploding” (Grann). After official…
