...Analytical Essay ”In defense of black rage: Michael Brown, police and the American dream” Not a long time ago, all the newspapers had a great cause to write about; a white police officer shot a young, black and even unarmed man, named Michael Brown. This triggered a great anger among the Afro-American people, and especially Brittney Cooper, “That story is only plausible to people who believe that black people are animals, that black men go looking for cops to pick fights with.” Her anger did the fact, that she wrote the contribution to debate: “In defense of black rage: Michael Brown, police and the American dream” on the website “www.salon.com“, August 12th 2014. But how does she manage to get her message out, and is she succeeded? Brittney Cooper is written about a problem, which has been affecting the United States for many years. And she is not the first one, who tries to make a difference. She complains the still on-going suppression of the Afro-Americans. “We are weak. We are tired. Of being punching bags and targets for the police.” The writer makes it clear, that this suppression has been going on for far too long, and the Afro-Americans are tried of being the target zone, without having the ability to resist. Therefore is the Afro-American woman Brittney Cooper mad. And she is writing mostly to white people. The white people, who cannot understand the Afro-Americans’ anger. The white people, who cannot understand the looting in Ferguson, which she did not support...

...In Texas, for instance, two employees entered into an extramarital affair. Their spouses sued the company for negligently interfering with their familial relations by failing to take action to prevent the affair. The case went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the employer. While Dwight and Angela are no strangers to illicit affairs, it seems Stanley has more to worry about when it comes to angry spouses, even without Michael around to spill the beans on Stanley’s extramarital activities. As Stanley pointed out, we all know where to start looking if he ever turns up missing. Michael’s conduct exposes Dunder Mifflin to potential liability in a sexual harassment lawsuit. Courts have held that, where a supervisor engages in harassment that results in a tangible employment action, the employer is strictly liable for the conduct. If there is no tangible employment action, the employer is not liable if it can show that it used reasonable care to prevent and promptly correct the harassment and that the complaining party...

...Michael Foster PSY 100 Professor Carl Rogers Assignment 1: Written Summary of a Research Article In the article, Adlerian “ Encouragement” and the Therapeutic Process of Solution–Focused Brief Therapy the authors Richard E. Watts and Dale Pietrzak are comparing the overlooked similarities between Alfred Adler’s theories to the more current theories of the solution-focused brief therapy (SFTB) who give no credit to Adler. Though there are many similarities, the article focused on the concept of using encouragement by a therapist to their client to promote personal growth and development rather than on the limitations of a person. These same theories are very similar to the SFBT teachings of today. The article goes into detail sighting three areas of similarities between Adler’s theories and the therapeutic process of the SFTB. Those three areas are the perspective of maladjustment, counselor-client relationship and facilitating change. For the perspective on maladjustment each believe their clients are discouraged and without encouragement but not psychologically sick. In the case of the counselor –client relationship both describe the counselor-client relationship as the counselor instilling hope through encouragement. In the case of facilitating a change both parties encourage new patterns of behavior by accessing persons strength and resources. I agree with the authors finding based on the fact that the authors were able to document with actual statements from...

...SUMMARY OF A CASE INVOLVING 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS At about 6:08am, on October 4, 2009, Trisha Oliver, a resident of Cranston Rhode Island called 911 reporting that her six-year-old son, Marco Nieves, stopped breathing. Emergency authorities took Marco to Hasbro Children's Hospital, where he was found to be in full cardiac arrest. He later died after 11 hours attempt to save his life. At about 6:20am, Sgt. Michael Kite of the Cranston Police Department had arrived at the apartment, where he found Oliver, her boyfriend Michael Patino, and their 14-month-old daughter, Jazlyn Oliver grieving the loss of their loved one. Officer Kite noticed a few odd things about the apartment where Marco suffered his cardiac arrest. Among these things was a cell phone on the kitchen counter, a couple of stripped beds and linens on the floor, a trash can with, dark brown vomit in a toilet, and, crucially, a cell phone on the kitchen counter. Kite picked up the cell phone, and it was at that point—in the just-released opinion of a Rhode Island state court—that police proceeded to mangle a murder case and violate Patino's Fourth Amendment rights by viewing text messages without a warrant. Officer Kite viewed a text message on the phone, which was owned by Trisha Oliver, reading "Wat if I got 2 take him 2 da hospital wat do I say and dos marks on his neck omg." The message was sent from Oliver to Patino, although the sending of the message apparently failed. There were other messages on the phone "with...

...1. Advise Michael to whether Richard is likely to succeed in any legal claim of unfair dismissal against the company and as to the nature of any remedies he may receive. This case is primary based on several aspects, included in the Employment Rights Act. According to the text, we have a summary dismissal based on gross misconduct in the form of gross disobedience and insolence. First of all, a case of dismissal is when the employer terminates an employee’s contract. The expiry of a fixed term contract is also considered as a dismissal. In contradistinction from this, a resignation is more likely to be considered as something different. Resignation is normally examined to be termination by the employee, not the employer, therefore when an employee resigns, no dismissal has taken into place. According to our case, we have something more that ordinary dismissal, namely summary dismissal. Summary dismissal always occurs when the contract is terminated instantly, without any try of notice. “Summary dismissal” or “Instant dismissal” is the dismissal of an employee on the spot and without notice. To be more precise, we can conclude that, summary dismissal could terminate the contract of an employee even with notice, in some cases. Another way is by notification. This could happen by giving notice which includes, or is accompanied by a statement in writing that the employer would, by reason of the employee’s conduct, be entitled to terminate the contract without notice. (Employment...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to Powell (2003), strategic management is considered as a crucial factor to firms’ development and expansion because it deputizes the science of crafting and making initiatives systematically in both short and long periods directed at wining firm’s goals. Firm’s mission statement, vision and strategies are inherently tied, and constitute the key concepts that allow a firm to obligate such objectives. Along with this, the firm strategy has to be immediately fixed and improved to move in conjunction with the needs of the external environment (Stead et al., 2004). Understanding the importance of strategic management, the report’s purpose is to exploit supplied information from the case study “Global forces and the European brewing industry” to carry out the external environment analysis which uses PESTEL and Five Forces Models. Basing on the achievements from the industry analysis, a further analysis called strategic groups which based from strengths and weaknesses of four brewing firms is made to categorize each kind of firms. References from books, journal articles were used to providing proper prove for supporting the trend in the case. INTRODUCTION The case study reflects how international forces have influence on European brewing industry as well as how such breweries firms has tried to overcome the difficulties. Despite of the fact that the European governments have enforced some restrictions and carried...

...Compare and Contrast Karen Hovenga CJA/464 August 12, 2013 Ruth Ebner The Due Process and Crime Control Model are an account of two structures absolutely different from one another and are in competition with one another to be a priority in the functioning of the criminal justice process (Neubauer, 2001, p. 12). “The Due Process Model” proceeds from the premise that protecting the rights of the individual is most important, whereas in the Crime Control Model” holds that reducing crime is the key value” (Neubauer, 2001, 12). When comparing the two control models their opinions differ completely in reference to the causes of crime. Additionally when comparing crime control and due process models one needs to remember, “Proponents of both models embrace constitutional values which are necessary to the kind of society in which American wish to live” (Zalman, 2008, p. 4). In addition answers will be given to questions about the effects on law enforcement, courts, and differences between federal, and state polices, and distinguishes these values. To utilize plea bargaining is controversial because of the fear that innocent defendants would take a plea and the judge would impose unduly sentences (Neubauer, 2008, p. 20). Also the criticism focuses on the deterrent effect of the punishment itself. The crime control model, court hearings have eroded the deterrent effect of punishment (Neubauer, 2009, p. 20). “Not only is the problem serious, but there is evidence that...

...mind, both of which are required in order to find criminal liability. In order to answer this problem question it must first be considered whether Pablo (P) is liable for any non-fatal offences against the person (OAP). The various offences and their definitions are contained in the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. Pablo and Rose – Pulling hair. The first offence to consider in respect of P is common law battery under section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. Battery is a summary only offence and carries a maximum penalty of six months or a £5000 fine, or both. P’s motive of jealousy appears to be the significant factor motivating his actions however this is irrelevant to his actions in law. P intentionally: Venna imposed unlawful force: Collins v Wilcock on Rose (R) by pulling her hair. R did not give P permission to assault her, therefore the contact was both physical: Ireland and unlawful. Previous case law has clarified unlawful force to be even the slightest touch R v Brown . The mens rea for this offence is satisfied by either intention or subjective recklessness. With reference to the problem question, the actus reus was the direct physical contact of P with R when he pulls her hair, but it is clear there was no harm done to R’s body. Pablo and Rose – Cutting hair. Secondly, when P severs R’s hair this could constitute an offence of Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) contrary to section 47 (s.47) OAP Act 1861. Unlike battery, this is a triable either way offence...
