But with heavy consequences for most retaliation methods, regulation of social media within the United States is also an appealing and practical option. In an era where many Americans look to social media to find their news, transparency and accuracy on these platforms has become increasingly important. Russia leveraged these platforms to spread its ideology, and the government could work with companies to prevent this from happening again. Currently, there are several bills in Congress meant to…

When we are injured, either directly or indirectly, as a result of another parties’ actions, who is responsible for the injury and are there more than one correct answer? How does the doctrine of Caveat Emptor affect the argument and does age play a part in the applicability of this principle? What about implicit contracts that occur during transactions – how do they affect the parties involved? We will be examining these questions through the lens of one of the most prominent injury cases in…

Paragraph 3 from “Civil War and Reconstruction: Two Groups, Rights for All states”, affirms that the group that Du Bois created was “dedicated to fighting more resolutely for civil rights”. This shows that Du Bois did not just want the separate but equal doctrine to be true, he wanted to end segregation all together. He knew that if separation was in practice, then there was no such thing as equality. His group aimed to end segregation to achieve the total freedom that African Americans deserved…

After the Second World War, it was found that approximately 50 million civilians became victims of war, a number that far exceeds the combined total of the soldiers killed and wounded [1]. It was the first time in the Modern Era where civilians became the major target for military action, resulting to the devastating casualty ratio. Indeed, other wars have seen significant civilian deaths, especially the First World War and the Mexican-American War, but most of those deaths were indirectly from…

upon the fundamental principle of the American legal system, The Doctrine of Precedent, Snowden must be tried and convicted under the Espionage Act. His punishment will follow the binding precedent that was set by the court decisions of prior criminals convicted under Espionage Act. To understand this issue we can look to Ronald Dworkin in Law’s Empire. In Law’s Empire, Dworkin uses the analogy of writing a novel to applying the doctrine of precedent in court cases. Dworkin calls this analogy…

each other to examine how well they prove their desired point. First we will examine Woodrow Wilson The Idealistic View. Woodrow Wilson The Idealistic View - The general tone and stance of the Wilson documents is the call for peace and universal fairness.

Religion and Social/Political Institutions In every tradition there exists a religion, a system of belief beyond the grasp of man. Human beings have a desire for a supreme being, something they acquire through religion. Religion serves the purpose of quenching man’s thirst to be good and peaceful thereby creating some order. It does not matter how or when the development of man began, his overwhelming urge to worship has formed and will continue to give rise to more kinds of religious behaviors.…

The Vatican has not changed the views and remains against women priests to this day. In addition, many Catholics around the world are against it as well. There was a story about the Danube seven in which seven women in Germany tried to defy the doctrine in 2002 and tried to become priests. They did in fact become priests yet it was at a great cost as the church excommunicated the women.…

What is good without evil, and why do they even exist? Without evil, there is no way for good to exist. They coexist with each other to keep the universe in balance. Since beginning of the human race, humans have always tried to determine good from evil. As time goes by, one would think that the human race is only getting closer than ever before to determine right from wrong. However, it’s only getting more complicated we continue to evolve into a more advanced species. Even though it’s…
