Umpire

traditional media is lower than social media. According to Van Den Hurk (2013), there are some citizen journalists reporting news as it is replacing traditional news organizations as the first resource of the news. Traditional media is no longer the umpire of news…

Vigilantism and Society In John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, he assesses vigilantism and its place in the state of nature and in society. Vigilantism is the act of a citizen, not connected to any governing body or law enforcement, taking the law into their own hands. Vigilante justice is not ideal according to Locke, and only is permissible when attacked in the state of nature. When one enters into a society, institutions exist that take the place of vigilantism. Locke’s argument about…

After completing my GCSEs this summer, I hope to continue my education as a member of Lady Manners Sixth Form. I have enjoyed my time studying at the school and feel that I have gained a good education, whilst at the same time having opportunities to develop my skills and personal qualities by taking part in a variety of extra-curricular activities. I wish to build upon this positive experience as a member of the Sixth Form and make the most of all that the school offers. I feel that each of my…

Coming to decide between what is right and what is wrong is crucial. Some examples such as murder or stealing may be common ethics among many, while speaking profanities or sexual abstinence are less common. Nevertheless, everyone has a set of ethics or the knowledge of what is right or wrong based on their own experiences in environments such as school, work, family, etc. 1) With that being said, I have come to create my own set of ethics based on the experiences that I have had over the past…

Although watching movies about family isn’t my first choice whatsoever, the movie Parenthood was rather easy to relate to. In particular, going through tough times in relationships, having parents that do whatever it takes to make their children happy, and having a less desirable job are just a few things I could relate to. Gil and Karen had some troubles with their relationship throughout the movie, but they were able to stick it out. Gil told Karen that he had quit his job, but then…

assume opposite positions in debating the guilt or innocence of an individual. In this scenario, the judge is required to have a neutral view point at the contest unfolding before him or her. The role of the judge in this arrangement is that of an umpire, making sure that the trial proceeds according to the protocol and rules of trial or due process of law and that evidence entered is done so according to established rules and guidelines. The inquisitorial method is the common practical…

thinks through her decisions and acts accordingly, rather than throwing caution to the wind. As the speech continues, the lines begin to contain more polysyllabic words which increase the pace of the passage: “Present counsel, behold, extremes, bloody, umpire, commission, issue, honor” (61-65). The complexity and frequency to which Juliet uses them then imbue reader with the same sense of frenzy she feels as desperation and fear nearly overwhelms her beneath that resolute exterior. However they…

It was one of those super-duper hot saturdays. One of those days where you woke up with PJ’s stuck to your body with sweat. It was so hot that you could stretch the tar on the street and it would squish like a melting marshmallow. It was so hot that when you went outside you would cook like a strawberry in the oven unless you had sunscreen on. You would quickly shrivel up and die. One on those days where all you wanted to do was swim in the pool. Nothing less and nothing more. You…

Maks Z For one of my text production tasks I chose to write a descriptive piece inspired by a 3 km time trial for field umpiring. My target was 13.30 which was the required time to umpire division 1 football. The purpose of the text was to capture my thoughts and feelings going into this event. I portrayed this by using a wide variety of language techniques, to express my experiences and emotions in the strongest way. Metaphors were…
