African-Americans as a class. The problem of racial discrimination is another example of the moral flaws of the death penalty, which provides evidence to my research on the injustice of capital punishment. Douglass, John G. “Confronting Death: Sixth Amendment Rights At Capital Sentencing.” Columbia Law Review 105.7 (2005): 1967-2028. Academic Search Complete. Web. 5 Nov.…

definitions above in mind, I will attempt to prove that respecting an individual’s right to self-respect and autonomy is both a moral right and morally significant. We run into a philosophical problem when we ask the question: Is the attitude of individuals morally significant when dealing with autonomy and self-respect? The same philosophical problem applies to the question of whether or not Autonomy and self-respect are moral rights. These questions usually have one of two answers depending on…

False advertising is feeding the consumers misleading information so that they would purchase the product or service but once it is found out, companies have to face dire consequences (DCA.lacounty.gov , 2011) There are several types of false advertising. Some types of it which are included in the Lanham Act of 1946 are failure to disclose, flawed and insignificant research, and product disparagement.

Was the TRC successful/fair in meeting its objectives? The Truth and Reconciliation Commission can be said to have both failure and success. The TRC did record many human rights violations that can no longer be denied. Some people who were found guilty of human rights crimes were granted amnesty. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission engaged the people of South Africa in a healing process after apartheid. “Truth commissions are associated with multiple democratizing…

personality, such personality, though strategic; at least, in my view, in the sense that it may protect the human errors, the abhorrent decisions and actions of men and women in leadership, in the name of state action to which atrocities and crimes are often committed in the name of maintaining security, welfare and tranquility.

The Right to Marry “In 2011, more than 60 percent [of the population] thought gay marriage would be legalized within s decade” (Issenberg, Sasha). Same-sex couples being denied the right to apply for marriage licenses and get legally married in the state of Kansas is a violation of basic human rights.

must be just and moral. Epictetus is saying the people should change their mindset and outlook on the law, but if they keep changing themselves then the person is being unfair to themselves. King states “Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust” (Letter from Birmingham Jail).
