Each country has laws to protect the intellectual property, and there are also two main reasons to protect that intellectual property. First is to give statutory expression to the moral and economic rights of creators in their creations and the public rights in access to those creations. Then, the second reason is to…

The United States of America is built on the backs of innovators, and forward-thinkers. To protect these men and women lawmakers have drafted some of the most important pieces of legislation in our country’s history: copyright law. Copyright’s purpose is to protect the intellectual property of creators, so that their work cannot be used, or reproduced without their consent. This gives creators the security that their assets will not be stolen, and thus, creates an environment that encourages new…

Copyrights serve an artist, inventor, or business/ corporation the exclusive rights to his or her material/ products. Commonly, copyrights are used in defense of others who may claim another person’s/ corporation’s product. Therefore I believe that it is integral to protect the products of an individual or corporation. According to Richard A. Epstein, in his book titled, “The Creators Own Ideas”, he suggests that since we have private rights in land for a community we therefore should have…

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS HISTORY Dr. Eric Berne was born on 10 May 1910 as Eric Lennard Bernstein. In 1935, Dr. Berne came to the United States of America to finish his psychiatry residency.

Tiemeyer's talk, I was interested in the content as a whole but found Pan Am's side of the Diaz v Pan Am case to be especially capturing. Pan Am claimed that men could not be serviced by men, and paid a famous psychologist to testify for these claims. Eric Berne discussed possible aspects of men not being able to service other men, which included anxiety, maternal instincts, and physical contact, though no experimental studies or data was created as evidence for these claims. Though the district…
