The court will likely hold Muhammed as a LPPF, and deny his cause of action in defamation against COMQWEST. In order to establish a defamation action, the defamatory article must be an intentional publication with set of false factual statements which caused injury to the victim. In this case, COMQWEST’s article has met the requirements, however, the court will likely hold Muhammed as a LPPF, so that he has to prove the COMQWEST acted with actual malice in publishing the defamatory article, that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. Muhammed is a LPPF because, first, he was involved in two public controversies, the legalization of assisted suicide and the gubernatorial election; second,…
My opinion is that deforestation is wrong and shouldn’t be done in any part of the world because it destroys the natural cycle of the rain forests and it’s hurting the environment of the region. There are many environmental issues that harm the processes of nature. “ Reforestation in the temperate forests in northern California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska has a lot of controversy behind it” (Earth’s Vanishing Forests 111). The controversy is that loggers cut down trees, then replant the…
Between the two articles “Vaccine Controversies” and “Parents of Autistic Children…” the corresponding authors, Philippines Daily Inquirer and Jane Fullerton Lemon choose two separate forms of diction to make their articles strongly represent their argument. Jane Fullerton Lemon, who wrote “Vaccine Controversies”, uses a form of diction that villainizes the idea of vaccination in adolescents. When discussing vaccinations when dealing with autistic children she uses words such as suffering,…
II. Voluntary Injection Moreover, the court will likely hold that Muhammed’s participation in the gubernatorial election was a voluntary injection, because he willingly inserted himself into the public’s eye, and sought to influence the resolution of the public controversy he involved. Ampex, 128 Cal. App. 4th at 1569. Muhammed has voluntarily injected himself into the gubernatorial election and legalization of assisted suicide by: (1) sponsoring publicity and efforts to influence the…
caused a horrendous amount of discrimination, especially for those in a workplace environment. Schools, government agencies and companies, as well as the military, continuously refused to employ individuals believed to be homosexual. In Social Problems, John J. Macionis dedicates a chapter to sexual orientation and inputs the discrimination of those that correspond with the LGBT community. Employees who came out or were perceived as part of the LGBT body were fired due to their sexual…
The United States gave its people freedom to determine what they want to read and listen. If we wouldn’t be able to take what we want to read, this country wouldn’t be any different from those dictators. People can make their own intelligent decisions without government telling them to do so. To genuinely know about something, learning from different angles is essential. We can’t say that we truly know of something if we haven’t seen the entire picture, positive side and negative side; we just…
Controversy is a disagreement, typically when prolonged, public, and heated. The topic I will be focusing on are zoos and whether or not some of them are actually beneficial to the animals that live there. Some people will argue and say zoos are a cruel form of entertainment for people dicised as a place made to shelter and help the animals. Others will say that the people who disagree with zoos are not properly educated about what some zoos really do and how they have changed. Some zoos are…
Abortion has been one of the main topics in America to produce a plethora of controversy, marking the collision of two values: pro-life and pro-choice. While we know that each side produces a wide variety of points as to why each group believes what they do, we still must be omniscient about the life of the child. Someone who is pro-choice would argue that the woman has the right to her own body and what happens to it; however, taking the side of pro-choice disregards the child’s life. This…
The word "commerce" itself is a source of controversy. The Constitution does not explicitly define the word commerce just like the constitution does not define the word man when it comes to the requirements for qualifying to meet the requirement for running for office. Some beliefs that it refers simply to trade or exchanges while others claim that the founding fathers intended for the word commerce to mean commercial and social interactions between citizens of different states. Since there is…
ENG 201H 2/10/13 Editorial Analysis “We are all equal; it is not birth but virtue alone that makes the difference.” This insightful quote from the famous French philosopher and historian “Voltaire” seems to accurately represent the beliefs of the factions of American citizens pushing to allow women to fight in combat positions within the US Armed Forces. Though the topic has just recently been boosted into the media and congressional politics, it has been long debated. A rather…
