Adverse possession

as they so choose, as long as it does not infringe upon another individual’s right to do the same (Wilkinson). The current legislation regarding organ trafficking directly contradicts this right by prohibiting the right to freedom and restricting possession of personal…

Both Aristotle and Nietzsche’s philosophies impacted the entire study of philosophy. Friedrich Nietzsche faced many criticisms during his time on earth and continues to be the face of unique and adverse ways of thinking. Starting off, Nietzsche and Aristotle “saw the ability of the Greek tragedy to transform human understand” (Mitchell 328). Moreover, Aristotle was often pegged as going off the track by not following and often challenging the lessons taught by his teacher, Plato. However,…

Epistocracy is a system of government in which voting is knowledge-based. The way democracy in America works is that a campaigning politician will reach for a center audience in order to appeal to the common people while really having plans for the left or right. More often than not, the common people are not as educated on the important topics at hand. Many voters are ignorant, uneducated, or misinformed. Epistocracy is a form of democracy but instead there is a test that determines if…

There is a dichotomy when it comes to the legality of marijuana usage in America. On the federal level, marijuana is in the same category as other dangerous drugs like heroine (Schedule I), thus highly illegal. In contrast, small number of states has moved to legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults (even more for medical marijuana). California has just joined pro-marijuana group via the recent passage of Proposition 64. Before the vote, plenty of Californians argued against or in…

Courage is a quality or a state of mind that galvanizes people into action. With courage, people face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with confidence, self-possession, and resolution. Therefore, courage does not exist in the absence of fear or challenges. It is a deliberate decision that action is necessary regardless obstacles. Courage distinguishes people. It is the ability of men or women to meet a challenge or persevere under demanding circumstances, which makes them heroes or heroines.…

Americans. Just because someone is black, they get stopped on the roads for no apparent reason. Critical theory blames the racial foundations that the country stands on. Black drivers are frequently stopped by police officers on suspicion of being in possession of drugs. Any black individual driving an expensive car is likely to be trailed by police officers since it is a privilege that should only be enjoyed by the majority group. This aspect has led to the creation of a society where blacks…

Another method the nurse can adopt is the harm reduction (HR) approach. This plan can be taken into action when the client is resistant against teaching. Tompkin (as cited in Fleury, Gaudette, & Moran, 2012) identifies that the goal of HR is “decrease adverse outcomes associated with high-risk behaviors without necessitating individuals stop their behavior” (p. 159). For instance, when teaching the client how to effectively discard certain items that hold no value, such as a stack of old paper…

Working off the initial framework of taste developed by Pierre Bourdieu in his Distinction, that “art and cultural consumption are predisposed, consciously and deliberately or not, to fulfil a social function of legitimating social differences.” (Bourdieu 6) Holt explains that one’s taste in art and aesthetics is largely an extension of the cultural capital they have accumulated. In Holt’s example, the person singing the praises of Milos Forman to a friend over dinner is flaunting their…

Growing up, I was constantly told, “drugs are not okay”, or rather “drugs will kill you”. Because I was younger, I did not particularly understand what was meant by this, because I was, “just too young to understand”. As I got older, I began to understand why my elders reiterated this point numerous times. Because drugs can indeed terminate in death, but not every drug. The drug I am specifically referring to is marijuana. Now that I am old enough I am able to comprehend what effect drugs can…

Contraries to popular belief, this did not make the possession or consumption of alcohol illegal. This did, however, create a perfect situation for gangsters such as Johnny Torrio and Al Capone to exploit for major gain. While the constitution prohibited alcohol, it did nothing for the growing demand for beer…
