Default judgment

McKichan v. St. Louis Hockey Club, L.P was a 1998 personal injury case that made its way up to the Missouri Court of Appeals. The incident in question occurred on December 15, 1990 during a minor league hockey game between the Peoria Rivermen and the Milwaukee Admirals in Peoria, Illinois. The Peoria Rivermen is a subsidiary club of the defendant.

“The Ministers Black Veil”: Judgement and People in Disguise In the story “The Ministers Black Veil” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author reflects on how much people will judge a person on their appearance and what they are going through. Today, what a person wear, how they dress, or the way they act shows if they will be accepted by others. We tend to cover our secret sins, and judge others about theirs. “If I hide my face for sorrow, there is cause enough,” he merely replied; “and if I…

negative way. If we see a well-dressed man we may not see that he is a con-man because we judge with our eyes. If we see a man that has a hat and glasses on with his hands in his pockets we might assume he is up to no good. People cast all types of judgments upon people based on looks. This is something that a lot of humans fight to not due but cannot seem to help it at times. Judging is so natural to humans but it can put people in difficult situations. Some people are good hearted people and…

Critical Reading: “The Blind Man” We live in a society where people are solely judged by their appearance. We allow the media and the internet to develop our opinions. Most of us no longer take the time to get to know each other and it's rather unfortunate. The short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver is very relatable and is a great example because it deals with the idea of looking versus actually seeing. One might think that those two words are interchangeable but Carver shows that…

parents who spend their whole life taking care of their child. They don’t deserve the judgment and some of the hate they deserve respect because their job isn’t easy and they could have ran away from it but they chose to care for their child. Again they are still children that aren’t really any different from us but they really don’t know what they are doing or what is going on and they don’t deserve any hate or judgment for…

Subjectivity influences an individual when judging beauty in an object by projecting onto the object and categorising it as pleasure or displeasure. When a man labels something beautiful, he must regard it as on what he may also presuppose in every other person; and therefore, he must believe that he has a reason for demanding a similar delight from everyone (cp 64). Kant believes the requirement for calling an object universally beautiful is the elimination of subjectivity through reason. In…

ago. Why would we think an even more egomaniacal person is going to make things better for our nation? And at the very time we need a President who inspires us as morally admirable, we are faced with two equally distasteful candidates. Judgment. God’s judgment. When Repulicans say Clinton is corrupt, and Democrats say Trump is crazy, I sadly agree. And if someone says God may be judging us all, I sadly agree. America considers moral character in leaders optional. The Bible says it's…

Whether it be from one’s own parents, or even from the child themselves, everyone experiences judgment. The tendency to shame others or oneself for an attribute, some may be considered a flaw instead of could be a unique characteristic that individual possesses. It is their flame. A flame is what makes someone who they are, yet they may want to extinguish others’ flames. In the music video, “Never Lose Your Flames” by Issues, actors portray teenagers dealing with internal and external conflict…

Understanding the Misunderstood The three short stories, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, and "A Small, Good Thing" by Raymond Carver each create an atmosphere that is intriguing and manage to deliver a surprise at the end. Each of these stories has very different settings and plot, thus seeming uncorrelated at a first glance. However, there is a unifying theme. All three short stories portray that misunderstanding and judging others in society can…

information at hand. The couples did not know each other, and the normal couple began to ridicule someone else’s physical appearance. For example, one philosophical paper stated, there are “ … two broad classes… "before-the-fact" moral judgments [and] … "after-the-fact" moral judgments… [Before-the-fact judgement] … based on the best information available at the time as to what the moral landscape holds and what its future shape will be” (“Moral Judgement”). This moral judgement is neither good…
