Drink Up - Drunk Driving Should Be Legalized
Words: 359 - Pages: 2.... who has been drinking is
usually the one who survives the accident, often with out a scratch. Allowing
people who have been drinking to drive would also improve the quality of life
for those who choose not to drink. Currently people who have been drinking are
legally required to use some form of transportation other than them operating a
motor vehicle. This requires them to hang around where they are and get a ride
with someone else or wait or some public transportation. With the legalization
of driving while drunk the non-drinking population would not need to be bothered

Auditor Liability
Words: 2093 - Pages: 8.... the prevalent arguments of both sides
against one another and drawing a conclusion based on the evidence.
Opponents of liability reform rely heavily on an idealistic
constitutional argument as well as an economic argument to foster their
point. The main components of their argument are as follows: Limiting
recovery of loss has a detrimental effect on those which are harmed by
alleged negligence. The cost of liability is reasonable when compared to
total revenues, and in light of a CPA's public responsibility. Indemnity
insurance spreads risk in the aggregate therefore removing the element of
risk at the firm level. The threat of lit .....

Crimes In Schools Lower Academic Levels
Words: 449 - Pages: 2.... I am a young adult and I am able to understand many things I personally feel that I would not be able to focus on my schoolwork if I knew that such violent crimes are happening everyday. That is mainly because I would never know when such a crime like that would happen in my school or somewhere nearby.
After reading many articles there was this one article that grabbed my attention right away. The title of the article was “Violence against U.S. kids is common”. Just imagine how many students must have read that heading and felt unsecure about themselves. When a person reads such articles they do not sit there and worry about what i .....

Corporal Punishment Is Physical Abuse
Words: 824 - Pages: 3.... with present day humanitarian ethics.
With a rising crime rate many are favouring the reinstitution of
physical punishment for very wicked crimes. It has been shown that many adults
in England want the restoration of corporal punishment for certain crimes,
hoping that it will effect the reaction against an ever increasing amount of
crime.
The use of corporal punishment on children has also dropped sharply. In
many school systems of the United States, for example, corporal punishment has
been outlawed, it is also illegal in countries such as Sweden, Finland, Denmark
and Norway.
Corporal punishment for certain offenc .....

Capital Punishment: For
Words: 592 - Pages: 3.... person who kills people with no regrets or rapes innocent
victims continuously, does not deserve to live in a luxurious North American
penitentiary or anywhere for that matter, they deserve nothing but the death
penalty. When the words ‘death penalty' or ‘capital punishment' are heard, they
obviously are disturbing and uncomfortable, but so are their crimes. There is
no hope for criminals with this kind of behavior and mentality. I believe that
capital punishment is the key necessity.
If capital punishment was enforced for severe crimes, it would eliminate a
fair amount of tax money going towards the judiciary system. If a priso .....

Words: 2186 - Pages: 8.... is not the only material to be found on the net which can raise questions of censorship and control: discussion of racial, political, religious and sexual topics all run the risk of offending someone, somewhere, leading to demands for control of the Internet. The question of censorship may also be raised in some unexpected places: one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers.

It has been suggested (Interpersonal Computing and Technology, 1994) that .....

Analysis Of International Law
Words: 1658 - Pages: 7.... of the Permanent court of International Justice and forms an integral part of the present Charter.
The commands of international law must be those that the states impose upon themselves, as states must give consent to the commands that they will follow. It is a direct expression of raison d'etat, the "interests of the state", and aims to serve the state, as well as protect the state by giving its rights and duties. This is done through treaties and other consensual engagements which are legally binding.

Defending A Killer
Words: 829 - Pages: 4.... client had confessed to
his attorney how he had murdered someone in the past, and an innocent
person was going to be executed in his place. The lawyer told his client
how he could not reveal that information, even though someone was going to
die for a crime they did not commit. Where and how could such a rule be put
into place that would make it totally acceptable for an innocent person to
be put to death for a crime that they did not commit? Try to vision if you
can, a family member accused of murder, tried, convicted, and sentenced to
death for a crime they did not commit. How much faith would you now have in
that family member or friend t .....
