...Kalie Kollmar ENG 3003 Professor Dale Ireland Essay 1 July 19, 2015 Is Your Hotel Information Safe? Checking into a hotel requires giving the hotel your personal information including name, address, phone number, and credit card. But is this information that you give them protected? Caroline Levander and Matthew Pratt Guterl use two modes of persuasion in their article, Are Hotels Dangerous?, to interest or appeal to the reader, those being pathos and logos. Levander and Guteral use pathos to relate to their readers that have stayed in hotel rooms; and logos by supporting their statements with facts. Such as, when they report that in a Supreme Court decision invalidated an ordinance that requires owners of a hotel to give law officials patron information without a warrant. They do not, however, use ethos effectively because there is not efficient credibility from the authors. Levander and Guterl do not use ethos, but successfully use pathos and logos to convince the readers that hotels are more unsafe than guests realize because police can access patrons information without a reasonable cause. Ethos refers to the credibility of a writer. Neither Levander nor Guterl, are experts or workers in the hospitality field. There is no background information about the writer that would lead the reader to trust the information that they are providing. Even though large amounts of information were provided in their Are Hotels Dangerous? article, they cannot personally...

...The Palace of Versailles is a complex and beautiful royal château that has lived throughout history as one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture since its construction was first begun in the year 1624. From 1682, when the palace was completely built, to the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789, the Palace of Versailles housed over 3,000 people, including the king and the entire French Royal Court. The Palace of Versailles stood as a symbol of dictatorial power and degradation. More buildings than just the royal palace were placed on the grounds as well; there were five chapels, the Grand Trianon (built during 1687 - 1688), the Pavilion Francais (built in 1747), the Petit Trianon (built during 1762 - 1768), and, though not buildings,...

...“On the Witness Stand” Hugo Munsterberg in 1908 published “On the Witness Stand”, a collection of articles he had previously written explaining the need for experimental psychology in the court room. In reviewing several court cases, he was intrigued with the verdict based on the eyewitness testimony. Could these eyewitness testimonies be considered unreliable? Decisions based on the judge and jury through the questioning of the lawyers, disregarded the mental state of the witness. In his book, Hugo Munsterberg, explains the mind of the eyewitness through illusions, memories, emotions and suggestibility. Illusion is a perception. Munsterberg in his book describes several cases that make you wonder if each eyewitness was at the same scene. For example, when describing the road conditions, one witness claimed the road was dry while another said it was muddy. In another scenario, it was important to know the number of people present at a riot was larger than forty. One eyewitness mentioned there was no more than twenty while another said it was more than a hundred. So, is your mind playing tricks on you? In order to prove that everyone’s visual perception varies, Hugo Munsterberg developed several experiments. One of his experiments among 100 young men was to show a poster with 50 black squares for approximately five seconds. When asked how many squares the answers varied from twenty-five to two hundred squares. He continued to perform experiments based on perception...

...The United States Dual Court System and its Historical Developments The United States court system is divided between two administratively separate parts. The first was established in early colonial times. The original thirteen colonies had established their own individual court systems based off the English system (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed., 2007). According to an article “Early Development of the United States Court System US Courts in the Early Republic” written by Martin Kelly “In 1789 Article Three of the US Constitution stated that "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." (Kelly, 2012) ” This article of the US Constitution created the Federal Court System. Because each of the original colonies had an established court system, the two court systems evolved separately into today’s modern dual court system (Kelly, 2012). This essay will break down the major historical events in the United States Court system to include probation, parole, and juvenile courts and how they have transformed todays United States Dual court system. In the late 19th century and early 20th century a social movement known as Progressivism had a strong hand in creating and molding the US Court systems. This movement primary goal toward the court systems was to change the thinking from retribution to rehabilitation (Net Industries, 2012). As the progressivism...

...handy man when it comes to DIY. He frequently helped Mayella Ewell with things around her house that had been broken, for example her door was coming off its hinges and he came in to help her. He also has chores at home to do, but he still helped Mayella when he could be doing his own things at home which tells us that he is selfless and always wants to help others before himself. Despite all this, due to Maycomb mainly being prejudice, nobody ever looked past his skin colour to learn that he is actually a very nice man. This was revealed to everyone when Atticus asked him questions about it and everyone in the court room found out that he is truly a nice man. When he is questioned by Atticus, he doesn’t try to hide anything from him or the rest of the court room. He is very honest and puts his past behind him. An example of this is when Tom Robinson told the court room that he has previously been sentenced for 30 days. Anyone that is trying to get away with something that they’ve been accused of wouldn’t bring in previous prosecutions but Tom Robinson demonstrated his honesty by telling everyone about this. He also says that the other man that was involved with the prosecution didn’t have to go to jail...

...until more officers arrived a few hours later. At that point they tried again to get Mapp to allow them access to the house. When she did not open the door, they entered by knocking down one or more doors. They searched the premises. Mapp wanted to see a search warrant. An officer showed her a piece of paper and said it was a warrant. Mapp took the document and placed in the front of her clothing. The officers forcefully got the paper back, handcuffed her for behaving contentiously, and forced her stay in her bedroom. The police searched all the rooms and found obscene photographs and written works, but not the person they wanted to question. It was not clear exactly where the pornographic materials were found in the house, but the bedrooms, kitchen, dinette, basement, and living room were all searched.

...Description of a Court Room Hearing As observed in the courtroom I have found myself with many mixed emotions on what I have witnessed. These mixed emotions involve the operations of the justice system and how it affects the accused and the victim. It also makes a person wonder how the legal system operates on a basis of repeated domestic violence acts. I appeared in court to observe a domestic violence hearing. It involved a young individual who has a lot of physical violence patterns and who has repeatedly disobeyed his probation orders. This took place in an individual room, which involved the accused and his lawyer, the judge, the victim and the crown of attorney. Previously the accused was under house arrest for many assaults and breaches of his resonance towards the victim. He was not to have any contact with the victim what so ever. The court session had started and the accused person’s lawyer did his best to fight the crown on any of the attempts that they had made to put the accused into jail to finish his conditional sentence in confinement. Which stipulates on the back of the order, if a breach occurs, then confinement can and most likely will take place. There had been many breaches and many assaults. The victim was the actual person to call the police the night that the accused had breached his conditional sentence. The accused was sitting in a hotel drinking and staring at the victim. The victim had called the police and told them that he had been...

...the Brown v. Board of Education case. This case ended legal segregation in public schools, and gave people so much hope and courage. Brown and thirteen other Topeka parents filed a class action suit in 1951 against the Board of Education. Brown and the other parents finally decided to take action and stand up on behalf of their children. The suit was called to reverse the policy of racial segregation however the District Court ruled in favor of the Board of Education because of the case Plessy v. Ferguson. They told them that everything between the schools was equal and denied relief. However Brown did not stop there and went of to the Supreme Court. At the Supreme Court they combined Brown’s case with others such as Briggs v. Elliott, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, Gebhart v. Belton, and Bolling v. Sharpe. As they went on to court with a battle that seemed impossible to win many might have asked did they need to go to Supreme Court. Brown had hope and belief that the rights he was so broadly told would be upheld. Brown need to go to court to gain his family the right to go to whatever school they wanted. Brown was a...

...Defining Criminal Justice The six television shows that depict the law enforcement, corrections, and courts components of the criminal justice system are Matlock, Law and Order, Serpico, A Few Good Men, Kojak, and Canterbury’s Law. Matlock is a television show that has legal drama, and Andy Griffith has a main role as a criminal defense attorney. Matlock will gather evidence to identify the perpetrators to confront them in the courtroom with interrogation in the court room scenes. Also, he seeks to prove the innocence of his clients as he takes on their case which is murder most of the time (William Felchner, n.d). However, Matlock is assisted with a team of other lawyers. The show depicts the criminal courts component, because Matlock conducts a fair and impartial trial. This criminal defense attorney upholds the law in bringing the perpetrator to the courtroom in front of a judge who will decide if he/she is guilty or innocent. The stages of the criminal justice system of Matlock are all three components of law enforcement, courts, and corrections. Matlock apprehends the perpetrator, requires that fairness is throughout the justice process, and ensure the victim that the courts will protect the community as well as the victim by sentencing him/her to prison if found guilty. Therefore, the images of the Matlock television show that has legal drama are fair representations of the criminal justice system. Law and Order television show has a cast that is cops and lawyers, and...
