Introduction In the year of 2004, 2.5 billion dollars of annual sales hit the blockbuster market on a pharmaceutical drug named Vioxx (Rofecoxib), which thousands of physicians prescribed to their patients worldwide (Medscape Medical News, 2004; Topol, 2004). The drug has shown an increase in heart attacks and strokes with suspiciousness to why leaders did not act earlier to withdraw the pharmaceutical drug from the market timely (Topol, 2004). The leaders involved were faced with more than a…

teachers are supposed to accommodate diversity in learning strategies and to work on the problems in their teaching approaches. Alongside student feedback is academic peer review that is adopted at many Australian Universities. One project supported by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) indicates “peer review of teaching in universities involves academic colleagues giving and receiving feedback on their teaching practices and its effectiveness in promoting student learning”…

How to become a better English Student Have you ever wondered how you’re going to do in a class and the result you end up with? Well that’s my exact thought when signing up for English 111. I had already taken this course once and things didn’t go as well as I thought they would. I started off pretty good and knew I was going to pass, but at the end of the semester I guess me and the teacher had a different outlook on how well I did. Let’s just say English is not my favorite subject and has…

Positive Aspects of Evidence Based Practice Nurses who research and review different literature such as systematic reviews of experimental studies, and meta-analyses of randomized controlled studies can help improve their nursing practice by keeping up to date with the latest and most effective way to care for patients.

“Under pressure she became a diamond, under pressure she became unbreakable,” [1] said R.H. Sin. It may sound ridiculous to work under pressure. However, in my opinion, working under pressure can create a great work --just like diamond-- it needs pressure to become beautiful. As an international student, I would like to say that it is very convoluted to write in another language, which is not the language I normally use back home. Hence, there are always a lot of pressures…

the case to be valid. Marshall’s creation of judicial review can be held to the same standard of three questions. First, is judicial review constitutionally acceptable? Second, if judicial review is acceptable, does the Judiciary Act violate the Constitution by Marshall’s reading? And third, if the two previous questions hold up, did Marshall even interpret the Constitution correctly. On the question of the constitutionality of judicial review, there is a relative grey area as the Constitution…

Kerela case asserted the Basic structure doctrine of the constitution. The concerned question was if the Parliament had unrestricted power to amend the Constitution under Article 368. The judgment given held that the Indian judiciary had the power to review and strike down the amendments made by the Parliament if they were against or altered the basic structure doctrine. In this judgment, separation of powers was included in the basic structure of the constitution, though it is not followed in…

very important power early on in it’s life, this power was the power to declare laws unconstitutional or judicial review. This power allows the court to govern to a limited extent their word essentially becoming law. This may be seen as some as a bad thing, however in all reality it may be a necessity. The supreme court acts similar to a watchdog in many cases. The power of judicial review combined with the fact that it 's the highest court means that its decision is essentially law. However it…

Judiciary Act of 1789 was completely unconstitutional, after it was found that it was not possible to force a President to elect a justice, thus passing the Judiciary Act of 1801 and setting up a precedent to be used countless more times called judicial review. Marshall was able to come to this conclusion after using the so called Supremacy Clause, which states that “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof [...] shall be the supreme law of…

interpretation and policy-making is the judiciary system. While the other two branches of government have some control over the judiciary system through checks and balances, the federal courts have a great deal of power in the form of judicial review. Judicial review is the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution. This means that they can declare federal laws unconstitutional, overrule themselves in previous decisions, and shape public policy. However, there is…
