...Analyze and evaluate each case independently by providing the following (about two paragraphs per case): In 1948, Andrea Perez, a Mexican-American woman, and Sylvester Davis, an African-American man,filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Clerk W.G. Sharp (Perez vs. Sharp, October 1, 1948).Earlier, they had sought a marriage license from the Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office but were denied such because Perez was racially classified as white and Davis as negro. “In this proceeding in mandamus, petitioners seek to compel the County Clerk of Los Angeles County to issue them a certificate of registry (Civ. Code, § 69a) and a license to marry. (Civ. Code, § 69.) In the application for a license, petitioner Andrea Perez states that she is a white person and petitioner Sylvester Davis that he is a Negro. Respondent refuses to issue the certificate and license, invoking Civil Code, section 69, which provides: ". . . no license may be issued authorizing the marriage of a white person with a Negro, mulatto, Mongolian or member of the Malay race." At the time, under California state law, no marriage license could be issued between a "white" person and a "negro" person. Petitioners contend that the statutes in question are unconstitutional on the grounds that they prohibit the free exercise of their religion and deny to them the right to participate fully in the sacraments of that religion. They are members of the Roman Catholic Church. They maintain that since the church has...

...the struggles one might have went through, but he really challenged the typical marriage back then. In the play, Nora is a loving mother of three and a caring wife who has been misunderstood and mistreated. Nora’s decision at the end of the play to leave Torvald Helmer is justifiable because, he makes her perform by singing and dancing, he treats her like a doll and he dictates her whole life. Firstly, Torvald treats Nora as his own doll and makes her sing and dance for his pleasure. For example, before she must dance the Tarantella for the party and has to practice for Torvald, “Now, you must go and play through the Tarantella and practise with your tambourine.” (II, 41) Torvald makes Nora practice for the dance, he even commands her. This is a misuse of his power over her and he treats her like a subordinate. In addition Nora is able to bargain with her husband by offering her services, “I would play the fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torvald.” (II, 38) He has used her for his own entertainment as if she was a servant to him and not his wife. In conclusion, Nora had to leave Torvald and the children because her husband was mistreating her as a performer. Secondly, he treats her like a doll in his house. For instance, she discusses this with Torvald, “But our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa's doll- child…” (III, 75) She knows that she has been treated like a puppet that is manipulated by its master,...

...Gay Marriage PHI 103 February 14, 2011 Gay Marriage The American family has changed radically over the last several decades; its beginnings are traceable to the "sexual revolution" that began in the 1960's. A time where the father was the bread winner for his wife and biological children, to today where family arrangements aren't that model, we're now living many varied family arrangements. Unfortunately over the past decade there has become a wide acceptance of homosexuality, causing many differences in the society and government. These differences have raised the question of whether same-sex couples should be allowed to wed even if society says it is morally and ethically wrong or illegal. There are numerous issues surrounding the question of legalizing same-sex marriage. In the wake of recent state, and federal court decisions here in America, the argument over gay marriage has reached a crucial time here in America. With socialist as President and many other socialists in congress America is at a cross roads when it comes to this issue. There have been debates if gay marriage is right according to the Bible, and even if it’s legal according to the U.S. Constitution. What is marriage? Merriam- Webster defines it as “the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law.” The United States does not recognize this by “law” so therefore legally same sex marriages can...

...marriage in the United States has been fully legal in all U.S. states since the 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, that decreed all state antimiscegenation laws unconstitutional. Many states, of course, had chosen to legalize interracial marriage much earlier. According to a May 14, 2012, Huffington Post article entitled “Interracial Marriage Statistics: Pew Report Finds Mixed-Race Marriage Rates Rising,” the 1980 Census (the first to collect data on interracial marriage) reported that 3% of all married couples were from different races. The number had risen to 8.4% (one in twelve couples) by 2010. Looking at marriages recorded in the years between 2008 and 2010, we find that 22% of newly-married couples in Western states were of different races or ethnicities, compared to 14% in the South, 13% in the Northeast, and 11% in the Midwest. QUESTION 1: Analyze and evaluate each case independently by providing the following (about two paragraphs per case): LOVING V. VIRGINIA CASE. 1. Facts of the case: In 1958, Mildred Jeter, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, were married in the District of Columbia. The two had gone to the District of Columbia to obtain a marriage license and returned to their home state of Virginia afterward. The couple was then charged with and convicted of inter-racial marriage later on they were confronted by police at their home. The police found their marriage certificate and used it as...

...According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC). On Jan. 13, teenaged twins claimed they arrived home from school and found their mother stabbed to death in her Conyers home. The girls were arrested and charged with killing her. Jarmeca "Nikki" Whitehead, 34, was stabbed multiple times and beaten, police said. Days after the beautician was killed, investigators announced they were looking for "persons of interest" based on witness descriptions. Her daughters, Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah, are now believed to have killed the woman, Conyers police Chief Gene Wilson told the AJC. One teen was arrested at a relative's home in Clarkston, Wilson said. The other was arrested at Tucker High School. Both were denied bond at their first court appearance "They're going to be tried as adults," Wilson said. Nikki Whitehead's boyfriend of 10 years, Robert Head, told the AJC that he wasn't surprised by the girls' arrests. He also said it wasn't the twins' idea to kill their mother, but they were coerced by a family member and possibly bribed. "A grown-up had to help plan it," Head said Friday night. "They loved their mom. They got caught up in a bad situation." Head said his girlfriend was studying fashion design, and had planned to travel to New York City for one of her classes. At times, the woman felt helpless and was manipulated by family members, Head said. He says money may have been the reason the girls were told to kill their mother. Georgia’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program...

...Americans at a Glance Lisa Williams MAN 2604 International Management November 16, 2014 Mr. McCaskill, Sr Dimensions of Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) Introduction This white paper describes a generalized cultural profile of me personally, as an American using the 8 criterions or 8 distinct values in a study conducted by Philip R. Harris and Robert T. Moran, which provides a basis of comparison with other cultures and, thus, suggests the likely differences in workplace behaviors. As an American, I feel justified in admitting that those who grow up in the United States are generally poorly prepared for cross-cultural relationships. Although from the lessons of this course, my experience and exposure of living locally within a different culture have held me in good stead throughout my career and personal life, parts of it were a struggle how an understanding of the local culture and business environment can give managers an advantage in competitive industries. Americans at a Glance It is relatively simple for Americans to pull together a descriptive profile of U.S. culture, even though regional and individual differences exist, because Americans know themselves and because researchers have thoroughly studied U.S. culture. The results of one such study by Harris and Moran, provides a basis of comparison with other cultures and, thus, suggests the likely differences in workplace behaviors. As generally understood, the culture of a society comprises the...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | | Cynthia Clayton | 1/15/2013 | | Family Nursing Diagnoses Cynthia Clayton NUR/405 January 21, 2013 Sandra Winters Family Nursing Diagnoses A family, as defined and implemented in the health care system had traditionally been based on using the legal notions of relationships such as biological/genetics, blood ties, and contractual relationship such as adoption, guardianship, or marriage. Stanhope & Lancaster (2012). A family consists of two or more individuals who depend on one another for emotional, physical, and/or financial support. In community health nursing, the family will be considered as a client. A community health nurse must be able to understand that he or she must keep an update of the care plan as the family is a dynamic unit of the community. Community health nurses provide health education, case management and primary care to individuals and families who are members of a vulnerable population and high risk groups. Community health nurses act as advocates, teachers, and counselors that play an important role in preventing the spread of illness and disease. Identifying data My participating family consists of an African American family...

...turn you back to the war torn country that you have just fled. This is the harsh reality of many refugees trying to seek asylum. Today I will be explaining why refugees that are in danger in their countries should be allowed access to Australia, and why they shouldn't be placed into detention centres once in Australia. Body Refugees that are trying to seek asylum in Australia need tremendous help as the Government policies that are in our country today are not working to help these helpless people but more to lock them up. The result has been a policy that is inhumane and ineffective and in many cases a violation of the international human rights law. These people do not see this country as an easy life but a country that will provide them with freedom. This is a story from one of the detention centres about a young girl....

Marketing excellence can drive breakthrough business results for the short and long term. Marketing excellence requires great strategic thinking, great creative thinking and perfect execution. But how do we assess marketing excellence? First we choose brilliant industry judges who are all experienced and successful practitioners of excellence and we ask them to pick out the cases which they see as remarkable. We ask them to look for two key qualities from our winners: creativity and effectiveness. But marketing continuously changes and evolves, as consumers become more sophisticated and demanding and the media for communicating with them ever more diverse. So the standards for marketing excellence change and in turn become more demanding. We believe that...

...regulations will be discussed as well as solutions to the problem. Challenges and solutions for staffing and training issues will also be discussed. The paper will also highlight “In Loving Hands Assisted Living” which is a local assisted living facility that I called and visited to aid in my research. I will give an overview of the Fort Washington area in terms of older adults and the long term care market. The challenges with this provider are marketing and staffing for which I suggest low cost advertisement and comprehensive staffing patterns. Lastly, a conclusion and summary are provided for the current state and future of assisted living facilities. Overview of Assisted Living While the definition of assisted living facilities vary from state to state, this type of facility is generally defined as “a housing option that involves the delivery of professionally managed, supportive services and depending on state regulations, nursing services in a group setting that is residential in character and appearance” (Evashwick, 2005, p 152). Assisted living facilities serve as a way to provide care to people who are having difficulty living independently, but do not require daily nursing services, or the amount of intensive medical and nursing care provided in nursing homes (University of Maryland, 2004). In Maryland, an assisted living provider is defined as: A residential or facility-based provider that provides housing and supportive...

...Iran and her abusive husband and father Sayed (Moody) Mahmoody, played by Alfred Molina. If the title of this movie hasn’t already given you an idea of what this movie is about then you’re in for a perplexing and frustrating ride of your life. “Not Without my Daughter” made its debut in 1991 during the raid of the US embassy in Iran, which caused a lot of controversy due to the graphic and misrepresentation of the Muslim faith and the Iranian culture, and with that being said I believe it had many flaws. But, before I go any further I am going to take this opportunity and give you a very brief and short summary about the plot of this movie to help you understand what it is I mean about this film being “flawed”. Moody (Molina) was a successful physician specializing in anesthesia who lived with his family in Michigan. One day while he was home with his family he suggested to his wife (Field) that he would like to take a family vacation to Iran so that his family can meet her and their six year old daughter Mahtob (Rosenthal). Despite Betty’s (Field) deep fears about visiting Iran especially due to the Iranian Hostage Crisis she reluctantly agrees and makes Molina swears on the Koran that they will return back to America after two weeks. When they arrive in Iran they are greeted by Moody’s (Molina) friends and family at the airport where they perform a...
