Possession

2016 I was given a Minor In Possession (MIP) ticket that I thought, at the time, I didn’t deserve. I desperately needed a ride back home so I decided to ask one of my friends to take me home that was visiting Austin. When I entered the car that morning I knew that it smelled of marijuana and that there were open bottles of liquor. However, I told myself, “I don’t smoke and this alcohol isn’t mine. I’ll be fine, don’t worry.” Regardless of the fact of whether I had possession of the drugs in the…

The topic of gun possession and the right to bear arms is hot topic amongst most Americans. It has been said that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Some argue passionately in saying gun laws should be stricter, while others argue that they have civil rights that need to be protected. My view is somewhere in the middle. I believe there should more specific limits on gun possession, instead of a general law which excludes many Americans from their right to protect themselves. I believe…

To have a possession is to have control or ownership of something whether it be a materialistic or non-materialistic item. Personal possessions allows us to have a sense of control over something in uncontrollable situations, even when we do not have control of ourselves. In the shorty story, “The Things They Carried”, the author Tim O’Brien used detailed imagery to show how personal possessions, physical objects, reflects the internal objects they desperately try to hold on to. O’Brien…

Conflict arises in many settings, and it can be claimed that conflict itself is not a problem; it is a healthy part of life that if managed productively, it can lead to opportunities for change and growth (Fisher and Ury, 1982). Thus, if positive conflict management efforts do not occur or fail despite best efforts, the consequences can be horrendous, imperatively the skills required to manage conflict successfully are integral to manage a conflict situation effectively and efficiently. However,…

Can One Throw Away a Spouse’s Possessions? Can one throw away a spouse’s possessions? No they cannot throw away their spouse’s possessions away if that is what they wish to do with them, because without their permission they cannot do anything. At least not without giving the ex- partner reasonable notice of the intent to do so, and adequate opportunity to make arrangements to come back and get them (Family LLB 2).

Puritans did everything they could to please God, for example in the poem Upon the Burning of our House, by Anne Bradstreet, she was devastated when her house burned down and all…

next. The controversial Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 introduced mandatory minimum sentencing for drug possession and distribution (Alexander, 2010). Controversy did not rise from the idea of mandatory minimum sentencing, but rather the obvious racial bias which arose from the disparities between sentencing for cocaine and crack. This legislation created a five-year mandatory minimum for possession of five grams of crack cocaine, yet to receive that same five-year mandatory sentence, the law…
