Additionally, Plaintiff appears to contend that Bethel Ridge was negligent to leave Mr. Tolley unattended outside for a very brief moment while a nurse went inside—at Mr. Tolley’s request—to retrieve his lighter so that he may smoke. It is unrealistic, however, to contend that Bethel Ridge had a duty to continuously and specifically monitor every one of Mr. Tolley’s actions. In determining, the extent of Bethel Ridge’s duty, generally applicable hornbook law would suggest that a Court would weigh the probability of potential harm and the gravity of the potential harm against the burdens that would be required to reduce the harm. See Palsgraf v. Long Island R. Co., 162 N.E. 99, 100-01 (N.Y. 1928) (J. Cardozo). In this case, it is unlikely that a court would find that Bethel Ridge had a duty to have Mr. Tolley continuously and individually monitored such that Bethel Ridge staff could not leave him for a moment to complete an errand at his request.…
Were the shootings at Kent State justifiable? The shootings that happened at Kent State were not expected to happen, but they did. The protest got way out of hand when the protesters set the ROTC building on fire. “On April 30, 1970, President Richard M. Nixon appeared on national television to announce the invasion of Cambodia by the United States and the need to draft 150,000 more soldiers for an expansion of Vietnam War effort. This provoked massive protests on campuses throughout the country.…
I chose the “Fort Ross” to be the significant archaeological site in the United States. I am interested in the way it was established and the story of it. It is different and it mixes between American and Russian history and how Russia came to California. So it is kind of a mixture between American and Russian history. It is located on the Coast of Sonoma County.…
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was the first humane society to be established in North America back in 1866. The organization’s goals and mission statement is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.” This non-profit organization’s focus, outlined by their current President and CEO Matthew Bershadker, is to get pets out of shelters and keep them in homes, while increasing the protections of animals…
Kent State Shootings From 1955-1975 America fought a war that separated generations, and turned America 's youth against their own government, the Vietnam war. Due to this twenty year war many young males were drafted into the army, and America the land of the free became the land of deceit. As a result, throughout the nation there had been mass protests, and antiwar movements. On the tragic day of May 4th, 1970 demonstrators at Kent State University were ambushed by the Ohio National Guard, leading to the death of four students and injury of nineteen other students. The antiwar rally at Kent State University has become a symbol of the Vietnam war, demonstrating a nation divided both politically and socially.…
What is in your stream is very important to know. What runs through your streams will eventually run into creeks and then those creeks will run into the lake. In our case we will be testing Cole Camp Creek which runs into the Lake of the Ozarks. So, whatever pollutants that could be in the creek will eventually end up in Lake of the Ozarks. This paper will be telling what those stream pollutants can do to water systems.…
Burris MTAC: Quality Battlefield Optic on a Budget My own experience with Burris began last year when I purchased Rock River Arms’ excellent LAR-15 Predator Pursuit with the intention of setting it up as a semiautomatic precision rifle (SAPR) capable of engaging targets in close quarters (CQB) out to 600 yards with the 5.56 cartridge, not an easy task. I needed an optic that allowed me to keep both eyes open like an EOTech, Aimpoint, or Trijicon reflex sight, but also allowed for reasonably precise shot placement on threats at greater distances. The optic must be tough as nails, simple to use, affordable, and above all else, reliable.…
Through going up in Green Bay and De Pere, Wisconsin, there has always been a topic that has continuously appeared and disappeared. That is the condition of the Fox River, throughout my childhood I was never able to fully use the river to swim or fish within. That is because of the dangerously high levels of pollution that are within the water. The river has been found to have 209 chemicals found in a study by Sharon A. Fitzgerald and Jeffrey J. Steuer. Throughout my studies, I have found great effort to restore the river to the conditions it had been before the comings of the paper mills.…
Another implication of this study is that Lowell will be more age-friendly if older adults feel safe enough to walk around the City. The safer it is for people to walk in the community, the more willing people are to walk. In terms of walkability, the high score Lowell has of 77 suggest that Lowell is age-friendly as it is very walkable; however, there are improvements that can be made to the pedestrian environment to encourage walking in Lowell. Sidewalks need to be made more walkable; there needs to be more lighting at night; during snow weather, plowing the sidewalks should be prioritized; public transportation should be more reliable, affordable and frequent; specialized transportation should be made available for disabled people; bus stops and stations should be made more convenient, more frequent and more safe; pedestrian crossings should be sufficient in number and safe for people with different levels and types of disability, with nonslip markings, visual and audio cues and adequate crossing times; cycle paths should be made separate from pavements and other pedestrian walkways. Steps like this can ensure a community is more age-friendly and more walkable.…
Daly & Suggs (2010) did a study where they looked at the teachers’ experiences and thoughts about the use of animals in the classroom. Seventy five elementary school teachers were interviewed, and they revealed the way the animals were used in their teaching practices, and the advantages of having them in the classroom (Daly & Suggs, 2010). It was found that having pets in the classroom helped to increase students empathy as well as their socio-emotional development (Daly & Suggs, 2010). Faver (2010), also found benefits of using animals in the classroom, however they looked at a different area. Faver (2010) wanted to find out if school-based humane education could be used as a strategy to prevent violence in children when they become older.…
Can you imagine life without having pets or not having a companion with you to make you feel better when you 're upset or sick? Imagine if you raised a dog since birth and took care of it as if it was your own child and one day animal control just takes them away because of the type of breed they are. For years there has been a stereotype on pit bulls,stories about them attacking people,and even now there are many myths about them that are not true. For example, according to the article “ Pit bulls Myths” it mentions one of the many myths such as “pit bulls don 't feel pain” and it states that “ Pit Bulls have the same nervous system of any other breed, and they can and do feel pain.”…
The animal problem in Caldwell County is euthanization. Too many cats and dogs are being killed because of animal overpopulation. Numbers have been declining since 2011, but in 2013 still 2,902 animals were euthanized. The Caldwell County Animal Shelter is a contributor to this problem. To solve the problem of innocent animals being put down, a no-kill policy should be enforced.…
As I was looking up Animal Rights, I found a sort of history that is provided within the definition and article. It's worth taking a look at. The article was comparing slaves and animals, how they were referred to as ‘property rights' way back when. https://www.britannica.com/topic/animal-rights…
Corgis are so cute and fluffy with their heart shaped butts and their short little legs. I just wish I could have one here on campus. It’s disappointing that we cannot have pets live in the apartments. Not saying this will happen but what if Schreiner allowed someone living in the apartments to have a pet. There are a lot of arguments against having a pet, but there are real benefits to having a dog or cat around.…
