Parental consent

Yes, Peeta committed rape. In order for there to be a crime two elements must be satisfied, actus reas and mens rea. The mental intent was satisfied when Peeta found out Katniss was dating someone else and went to confront her, then threatened to kill himself with a knife if she would not submit to sexual intercourse with him. It is reasonable to assume that a cool down period had elapsed and this was not done in the heat of passion. The guilty act of rape has three criteria that needs to be met…

1. Confidential information A patient has the right to access information that relates to their health since this could affect their other aspects of life. In any case, they may need to provide sufficient evidence that requires them to have such confidential documents as a procedure. Notwithstanding, it is evident that the regulations of the hospital should provide the data upon request although this should be after 48 hours (Skolnik, 2011).

Equitable Growth, Heather Boushey, notes, “The returns to having paid maternity leave are high; however, the costs of providing this leave are relatively low. A recent [as of 2005] estimate for the state of Massachusetts found that implementing a paid parental leave program of 12 weeks at 50 percent of wages would incur an annual cost on every worker in the state of…

In America, many believe that taking care of children is a private responsibility this has had led to many work environments to be inflexible and non-family friendly. This perspective was born out of the American ethos of individualism- an ideology that stresses that individuals must be independent and that they are fully responsible for their life outcomes.

increases the likelihood of infants getting well-baby care visits and vaccinations, with one study finding that children were 25.3% and 22.2% more likely to get their measles and polio vaccines, when their mother had access to paid maternity leave. Paid parental leave can also increase the rate and duration of breastfeeding. A 2011 study in California found that women who had paid leave breastfed twice as long as women who didn’t take leave.

Outstandingly, music that is deemed vulgar for children is censored. Some places, like Wal-Mart, will only sell albums if they have a content advisory (Knoploh). This is to protect the innocence of children, supposedly. I think it is a way to control yet another aspect of our lives. The people who started the campaign of censoring were the president’s wife and her higher up friends (Prabhakar). If it was that much of a problem, why didn’t they control what their own children were listening too.…

There are 20 states that allow certain minors to obtain contraceptives without parental consent and those include minors that are married or who have already been pregnant.
