We as humans are much more similar to chimpanzees than we believe. While reading through the book by Jane Goodall, “Through a Window, My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe”, I noticed many references as to why humans and chimpanzees can be of comparison with one another. Another source that I got information about chimpanzees and them being so similar to humans is the video clip watched in class, “Monkey in the Mirror”, this video explains the cognitive learning of chimpanzees and it…

In “Legal Realism, Critical Legal Studies, and Dworkin”, realism highlights the challenges and negative qualities that Positivism encompasses, not only through criticism but a detailed explanation of an alternate perspective of how the law should be. Hart then responds to these criticisms that point out underlying flaws in the realists views, which indicate his modern view on Positivism and how it has evolved from a better known classic version used previously. Even though Hart does defend Legal…

A contract is an agreement that legally binds the parties involved. Alternatively, it can be defined as a promise or a set of the same that are enforceable by law. By getting into an agreement, parties acquire obligations and rights which are enforceable by the court of law. The main method through which such agreements may be enforced is by the award of damages although in many cases the court may order the defaulting party to perform a specific action to compensate the aggrieved party. In…

Case One From my reading of this case I am of the opinion that Matt has a genuine case against the accused. I believe that Matt should take legal action against his competitor for misleading advertising. The accused has broken the Consumers Protection Act (2007). Matt has a valid case because it is affecting his business and if this problem persists Matt could possibly lose his business. Outline of legal issues • The advertisement of lower priced products compared to those which are in Matt’s…

1) By a “commons”, Hardin refers to a shared resource, such as public land, National Parks, and the seas. One of Hardin’s most prominent example refers to herdsmen on commonly-shared land. Each herdsman will attempt to raise as much cattle as possible, Hardin argues, on the land. However, the land can only sustain a certain number of cattle. The tragedy occurs when each herdsman continues to add more and more cattle, in order to maximize their profit, without thinking about the negative…

Culture is a society’s shared and socially transmitted ideas and characteristics used to generate behavior and reflect behavior and other primates besides humans, like gorillas, chimps, and orangutans do, in fact, have culture. Chimps copy each other into adulthood developing cultural behaviors by imitating their peers and research on gorillas, chimps and orangutans have shown they use tools, communicate with each other and even mourn the deaths of each other. This research paper will explain…

I headed into the courtroom of Judge Thomas Marcelain to observe my first courtroom trial. The trial involved a 31-year-old man named, Daniel Bohanna, of Pataskala. Mr. Bohanna decided to represent himself in his trial for fear of misrepresentation. He was charged with rape, kidnapping, and felonious assault. I have seen footage on T.V. from famous trials and of course seen reenactments from Hollywood, but I have never been to one in person until now. I can tell you this, T.V. and movies make…
