At the first glance at this issue – Whether the bicyclists should obey the driving laws as the drivers do in San Francisco –, it pops into my mind that the bicyclists are not necessary to follow the rules which for the drivers. On the other hand, the bicyclist should have their own rules to avoid the traffic jams. The core reason why I have such perspective is that the authority cannot judge the drivers and bicyclists at the equivalent situation because they have different purposes and functions. First of all, unlike the vehicles or buses, the size of bicycles is smaller. As a result, the bicycles do not occupy as much space on the roadway as the cars do.…
There has been a debate over photo identification when it comes to voting in the United States. In You Decide, we go over two individual’s point of view, Hans von Spakovsky and Shelia Jackson Lee. Spakovsky believes it protects the integrity of elections, while Lee believes it suppresses voter turnout. Hans von Spakovsky immediately defines his argument on photo identification by bullet pointing his reasons for supporting photo IDs, for example, he says it prevents “voting under fictitious voter registrations” and “double voting by individuals registered in more than one state or locality.” (Rourke, pg. 96)…
In the persuasive article by Scott Anderson, the rhetor puts together an argument using the six components, Exordium, narration, partition, confirmation, refutation, and conclusion. He claims that minors should not be put into the adult system yet he strives more for people to ponder the situation at a much higher level of thinking. The exordium is used to grab the attention of the audience and show he is worth listening to. Since it is a difficult case, Anderson must use an insinuation. The insinuation is needed to ease a hostile audience into listening.…
The “Don Hurta Rule” is exemplified by ESPN in the fact that they are always striving for growth and upholding their mission statement. As I have read through the text, one constant thing has remained in my mind. ESPN is always wanting to grow their brand, whether it be through acquisitions or broadening its services. ESPN is always willing to take a chance, and make it happen. Their superior leadership at the top end of the company allows them to take risks and grow the company.…
In the years from 1787 through 1788 a number of papers began to appear that radically changed American government. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote eighty-five different letters to newspapers that helped ratify the Constitution and create a system of checks and balances for the government that the United States should still follow today. The Framers constructed the Federalist Papers to avoid many of the problems that the American government is facing today such as the Supreme Court infringing the boundaries of the judicial branch by creating their own laws. This violation of the delegation of powers can be seen in the upcoming case that will soon be decided on April 28th, 2015. The goal of this trial is to force every…
Looking at the two documents, there were several differences between the two documents. The first difference is rule number two, which states that friends of patient living close to the hospital were obligated to bring in change of clothes for patient. The second difference was noted in rule number three, where patients were to leave their valuables to the woman superintendent, before heading to their admitting floor within the hospital. The third difference was the limiting the amount of visitors that were allowed to see patients. The fourth difference which is not only precise, besides, confining, is rule number ten which states, and I quote “Every patient shall retire to bed at 9 p. m. from First May to First November, and at 8 p.m. from…
In the article, "A's for Everyone!" Alicia C. Shepard discussed her distress over the number of students that expected to be handed an A at the university she taught at. She claimed that it was becoming a normality for the majority of the class to receive A's; a B was no longer considered a good grade. The intended audience for this work of writing would be teachers, students, and parents. It can relate to teachers by the struggles they face, persuade students to not argue with their teachers about grades, and communicate to parents that sometimes their children are not deserving of higher grades.…
Sterk’s article discusses the field methodologies practiced by ethnographers; to make the report applicable to readers, she discussed her personal project and how she applied ethnographic methodologies. Sterk studied deinstitutionalized adults, which refers to those with mental disabilities that challenge daily life practices. Her project began with a general formative theory; people who are confidently able to exercise survival skills are better community members than those with mental disabilities. In order to test Sterk’s formative theory, she carried out unobtrusive observations, initial interviews, and two techniques for ethnographic interviews. To start, unobtrusive observations were carried out at agencies that train adults with mental…
Rightful policing The article is an analysis of what has been termed as the racial profiling and arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., as he tried to get into his house by Sergeant James Crowley (Neyroud, & Meares, 2015). The article tries to reconcile the two different point of view held on this one incident one being that the sergeant conducted himself lawfully and the other being that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was treated unfairly and was a victim of racial profiling. The authors point out that the definition of what racial profiling is typically focuses on how legal the police actions in issue are which legality is a measure of the restrictions placed on when the police decide to initiate contact with people as opposed to how the contact is made (Neyroud, & Meares, 2015).…
The Articles Gone Un-Replaced What if the USA had not replaced the Articles of Confederation? SUMMARY: Created November 15th 1777 and ratified on March 1st 1781, the Articles of Confederation served as the United States first “real” constitution. This document stated that “the states remained sovereign and independent, with Congress serving as the last resort on appeal of disputes” along with making treaties, coining money and managing the military (“History”). Another issue presented with the articles was that size of the population per state didn’t matter, each state got one vote only.…

Article 5 of the Constitution demonstrates that in order for a convention consisting of structural modifications to the Constitution, two-thirds of the states dictate to call a convention, whereas amendment to the Constitution requires the approval of thirty-eight states. According to New York Times Correspondent Michael Wine’s in his news article Inside the Conservative Push for States to Amend the Constitution, Republicans are striving to meet the requirements of Article 5. The overall argument of the Republicans is justified by their desire to enforce a balanced federal budget. The new article translates a few conservatives favoring the convention, the general improvement of the Republican’s request, and the opposition. To begin, former presidential candidates, John Kasich and Jeb Bush, who are involved in the Republican platform, support the convention.…
Next, period 2 judicial review maintained the period I understanding that judicial enforcement of the Constitution was an extraordinary political act, a judicial substitute for revolution. Its great achievement was the demonstration that this act was one which judges were nevertheless allowed and even required to perform. Period II judicial review, furthermore, derived its authority over legislation from an equality of the governmental branches under explicit fundamental Jaw, not, as does the Marbury doctrine, from a uniquely judicial responsibility to a written constitution. Last, its exercise was accompanied by political restraints appropriate for judicial defense of fundamental…
The concept of acquiring knowledge of a subject is usually reflected on a test; however, it goes beyond. What is most important is what we learn and what stays in our mind. “Wrong Answer,” a 2014 New Yorker article, tells the story of a middle school math teacher named Damany Lewis who decided to cheat to help his students do well on a state standardized test. The most important concern for Lewis was to see the school progress and his students improve; however, his decision didn’t work well. He met with a few other teachers to correct answers from the students’ exams.…
