The American common law system had originally been mirrored from medieval England, when criminals and civil laws were decided by judges based according to biblical prophecies as well as where they presided from. Now laws are created, enforced and micromanaged by three legislative branches of government. The reasoning for each branch having specific responsibilities is so that no one branch is able to corrupt the “checks and balances” system that was based according to the principals written in The United States Constitution and other important legal documents. The Legal System The United States government is overseen and governed by laws that were created by public officials. There are three branches of government: * The Legislative Branch of government (state or federal) enacts a group laws that are enacted by public officials. * Once the laws are enacted then they are enforced by The Executive Branch which controls the law enforcement agencies. * The Judicial Branch makes sure that those enacted laws serves a balanced purpose and are legally as well as ethically fair to all in serving their purpose. The American legal system today was conceived based from two major concepts that originally came from the medieval England’s common laws: Precedent and Codification...

Seat belt failures contribute to loss of income as well as lives. If the issue is extrapolated to the economy, the loss of income and lives equate to a moderate yet significant portion of lost GDP.

It is prudent for any organization to understand the mechanics, processes, and products they use or create. If a product or process fails, it is important the same institution initiates sound research to generate dependable data derived by professionally conducted practices that can be used reliably for decision making (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).

...Isaac Newton not only influenced his own generation by inspiring others to think similar to him, but he also had a major impact on the generations to come, including ours. For instance, the current society we live in uses Newton’s laws everyday. One way these are used in our society are through cars, planes, and any other means of travel. Isaac’s first law of motion states that “an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.”(Nave 2) Since this is proven to be a true statement, society has adapted to this in ways of transportation. For example, seat belts are included in every car to stop a person from flying out of their seat in case of a crash. The seat belt is used as an “external...
