International law

Since intenational law trumps domestic ideas the courts would obviously decline a motion to dismiss under statutes of constitutional right. This is shown through the Kiobel case where liability lands in the scope of international law. I see the reason for Lively’s motion to dismiss, because of the American ideas of freedom of speech and religion. As a united State citizen, Lively has a basic right under first amendment due to engaging in not violent political speech anywhere in the world. The…

negative interactions with the large amount of Syrian refugee in Germany. An example of how the group acts in that the group mentions “There is no room for Muslim practices and beliefs that go against "the free, democratic social foundation, our laws and the Judaeo-Christian and humanistic bases of our culture”(BBC). This action proves how people in Germany are not accepting of another person’s culture in their own country just because it is different from their own. In the year 2015 it was…

In International Relations, it is often stated that countries that practice democracy do not go to war with each other. Scholars often say that it is because of the core values that the countries practicing this form of government share. All leaders have different preferences for how they like to get things done, and what their core system caters to. Democracy is characterized by the belief that the power rests in the hands of the people. If two democracies declared war on each other, the common…

The doors of the subway closed before our eyes, separating us. It was only my mother and I. My father and my three-year-old sister were now on the train without us. It was our second day in Canada, without a word of English, or even a dollar in her pocket, my mother decided we had no option but to sit and wait where we were, hoping my father would come back for us quickly. I recognize this moment as the epiphany of the struggle of many new immigrants, just the first of many obstacles to be faced…

Foreign policy is the way the nation deals with other groups, nations, organizations and political parties. There is a deliberate obliviousness present amongst American citizens regarding international relations and foreign policy that only breaks when something shakes us. Many Americans pay attention to foreign policy only when it directly concerns our personal affairs, an issue we passionately care for, or our perceptions of world danger and peace. Even then, we tend to polarize the issue and…

Judicial corruption in the eyes of its innocent victims, is wrongdoing by someone in power that can be life changing. People can be fined unfair fees or watch someone who stole from them go free. However, for the judges getting the extra cash or making a decision because of personal bias, a case in which corruption occurs can be part of a normal day, and no one would ever know. Corruption is much more oblivious in other countries around the world. For example, in Azerbaijan, a prisoner can be…

After kindergarten, I was enrolled in one of the Greater Toronto Areas’s private schools, where I was expected to achieve top marks. At the same time, my course load was predetermined. I was expected to study mathematics and sciences, maintain three language courses, and include time for Jewish studies classes. After classes, I…
