Review

Progress Throughout the 2014 fall semester at the University of Evansville, I was enrolled in First Year Seminar with the topic title being: Sex, Love, and Lust. I enjoyed the class very much and I am very glad that I decided to take it. Throughout the course we wrote four papers, including a narrative, a response, a synthesis, and an argument. Each was difficult in its own way, but I managed to work through the issues I was having in the writing process and pull out with what I feel are really…

judicial activism is defined in The Supreme Court by Lawrence Baum as “…A court makes significant changes in public policy, especially in policies that the other branches have established. The most prominent form of activism involves the use of judicial review, the power to overturn acts of other policymakers on the ground that they violate the Constitution”(162).

Over the quarter, this definitely changed as I became more comfortable with the college environment and assignments.

I was equipped with the readings and usually completed my work before the…

Judicial Branch having a strong system to provide checks and balances of the other branches of government, there should be a certain level of independence for the Judicial Branch. The Judicial Branch often has the last say in matters regarding judicial review, and because of this, they should be able to operate independently from the other two branches and serve as the final say in these matters.

Critics allege that judicial review is anti-democratic, blaming that judges are not elected democratically by voting (Boyd 2015 p134-135). They argue that the Charter is constitutional document, which gave powers to judges to make law. On the other hand people who support the judicial review suggest that judges are interpreting charter by keeping our democratic ethics and wisdoms alive. Courts interpret the…

power is limited by the other two branches of government and the President nominates justices to the court. However the in the UK the Supreme Court is used to interpret the law and resolve dispute, it is much more limited in its powers of judicial review than the constitutional or Supreme Courts of some other countries because of parliamentary sovereignty. A recent U.S Supreme Court ruling lossip v. Gross was carried out in 2015, the case was about executions carried out by a three drug protocol…

I have never read a book that is capable of changing the reader's life or the way that one looks at certain things. Gail Hudson, of Kirkus Reviews, and I agree on many aspects of the book and Paulo Coelho. She thinks that the book is "a bag of wind" that "Americans should flock to like gulls". We also agree on the extraordinary writing skills of Paulo Coelho. He has been praised for his work…

Evidence based practice is so important in the current healthcare world. When evidence based practice is at the center of any organization, there is great improvement in practice and patient outcome. “Only 55% of the time, patients get the evidence-based practice needed for their plan of treatment (IOM 2001). The institute for healthcare improvement, launched 100,000 Lives Campaign enrolled more than 3,000 hospitals, representing an estimated 75 percent of U.S. hospitals beds, which implemented…
