The Importance of Landowners Duty of Care
AMC theaters are doing the right thing, legally and ethically, by preventing masked people from entering their theaters. Considering the amount of theater shootings that have happened within recent years, it is completely reasonable for theaters to adapt to the new threats to those invited on the property. They have already banned any weapons, and at some theaters, even bags that could withhold weapons. No sane person was upset with those protocols because it ensured their safety, which only makes sense. In the same sense, AMC wants to prevent masked people that would be more likely to commit a similar crime from coming into the theaters in the first place. They are only trying to keep their employees

In the public mind, Robber Barons were often associated with political corruption. These people/corporations promoted Laissez Faire capitalism, which meant no government regulation of business. This would mean that they could exploit workers, engage in shady stock trading practices, and form monopolies. Since the public did not support this, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was passed in 1890.…

    Hobby Lobby, the arts-and-crafts store operated by a Christian family which gained most of its publicity from a religious freedom case at the Supreme Court in 2014, has recently been gaining media attention once again — but this time, under accusations of smuggling biblical artifacts. The company came under fire when the U.S. Department of Justice found that it broke federal laws when it purchased and brought to America artifacts including clay bullae, cuneiform tablets, and cuneiform bricks from the Middle East in 2010. Hobby Lobby agreed to give up thousands of its artifacts, as well as to pay a $3 million fine. “We should have exercised more oversight and carefully questioned how the acquisitions were handled,” Steve Green, the president…

    I firmly believe that we should do something to redistribute the wealth'y money, however, I don't think a bill would pass anytime soon. Most likely, as the government is mostly run by companies, Congress would be paid off to dismiss the bill or delay it. Even though the Sherman Anti-trust act was implemented to prevent monopolies form forming, it is currently being unenforced. It would be more efficient to tax or regulated the richs' source of money, then they themselves.…

    Since the Gilded Age was a time of opulence for many Americans, economic depressions brought hard times to many businesses and made unpredictable employment a reality for the working class. If we were to research the term "Gilded”, it refers to a thin layer of gold hiding poor metal. Being that, prosperity is the demand of gold and, the abuses in poverty the metal. By this era, by social Darwinism where the affluent believed that they were by nature superior, and the poor were naturally just less able.…

    I am currently a junior in high school looking for a challenge to handle work and school, as well as extra curricular activities. I have grown up to see Regency Theatres Plant 16 establish shortly after the previous theater had shut down. Whenever I come to this movie theater I always feel welcomed by the friendly staff and reasonable ticket pricing. I love watching this place grow; I remember the soda dispensers used to be in concessions, but now there's two coca-cola machines with many flavors to choose from! Living in this community for almost 17 years has made me feel attached to the variety of stores The Plant has to offer.…

    Sherman Anti-Trust Act The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 (15 U.S.C.A. ), the first and most noteworthy of the U.S. antitrust laws, was marked into law by President Benjamin Harrison and is named after its essential supporter, Ohio Senator John Sherman. The predominant financial hypothesis supporting antitrust laws in the United States is that the general population is best served by free rivalry in exchange and industry. At the point when organizations reasonably seek the buyer's dollar, the nature of items and administrations expands while the costs diminish. On the other hand, numerous organizations would rather direct the value, amount, and nature of the products that they deliver, without needing to vie for shoppers.…

    It is irrefutable that, to a considerable extent, legal and non-legal actions are effective in administering justice for consumers. Consumer law has continually evolved in order to maintain its ability to protect consumers within the ever-changing modern marketplace - progressing from the common law notion of caveat emptor to an intensive legal framework recognising the fundamental need for consumer protections. While much of this contemporary framework - comprised of statutory bodies, law courts and tribunals, and working in conjunction with a myriad of other non-legal avenues - is highly effective in its delivery of justice, there remain areas of concern currently inadequate in safeguarding rights. Thus, although legal and non-legal measures…
