Summary“A reapportionment plan that draws in persons, who may have very little in common but the color of their skin, bears an uncomfortable resemblance to political apartheid” (Rosenschein). Clearly, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor understood the weight of her decisions. With those words in mind, O’Connor along with the other eight Justices deliberated over the case of Hunt v. Cromartie. She delivered the aforementioned warning in the previous case of Shaw v. Hunt, which established the basis and background for this trial. The appellee in Hunt v. Comartie, Cromartie, and his lawyers argued that the state of North Carolina had engaged in racial gerrymandering. On the other hand, Governor Hunt and his team of lawyers insisted that the new district was an instance of political gerrymandering, a legal means to ensure their political party (Democrats) maintained a seat in the House of Representatives.

SummaryThe Americans with Disability Act provides the unique opportunity to enhance self-determination, choice, and greater freedom for all men, women, and children with disabilities in the United States. The most significant movement was the black civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. After the civil rights movement, slowly African Americans were obtaining their rights by law, and slowly getting enforcements of these newly acquired civil rights. After this movement there were still a many people who were denied their basic civil rights, largely because they were denied their status as citizens. For all intents and purposes of this research, a large group of underrepresented people who were being denied their civil rights were the disabled; the mentally retarded, the people with varying degrees of developmental disabilities and physical handicaps that prevented them from being able to voice their opinions and allowed them to be continuously oppressed by the law.

SummaryThroughout this course we have studied the relationship between one's embedded and deliberative theology. We understand this relationship to be cyclical in nature; when one's deliberative, or second order theology, is reflected upon it can have the effect of altering one's embedded or first order theology. The dynamic between these two concepts is simple enough to understand. Though, what lacks simplicity in this arrangement is the origins of the relationship altogether. In order for one to reflect upon their own embedded theology, there must actually be an embedded theology in the first place. The roots of this first order theology can and should be called into question. If in any instance one's embedded theology is based solely on familial or social pressures, then whenever second order theology inspires sincere reflection upon it the embedded theology will morph to such a degree that knowingly, or unknowingly, a conversion will occur.

Summary Throughout history there has been an ongoing struggle over abortion. The process of terminating a baby did not sit well with some and thus a debate arose. Advocates of free choice clashed with those who stood by more traditional ideals. Throughout the debates lifetime very little progress has been achieved due to the inability to compromise on either side. Throughout the debate on abortion, economics have served to fuel the controversy and create several alternative methods.

SummaryThe traditional left-right political spectrum we use to place politicians platforms is outdated. We carried this spectrum over from the French, and any citizen would be hard pressed to be able to even accurately define what the spectrum is measuring. We all know that on the right side sit the Republicans and those with conservative thoughts, and the farther right you go the more conservative you feel. We also all know that on the left sit the liberals, who tend to fight for liberty and equality for all. The farther left you go the more you feel strongly about these liberal values. But what exactly are these liberal and conservative values? What does it really say to me when someone describes, say John Kerry as a democrat who falls the left of the political spectrum? It is because of this and other arguments I will mention that I wrote my paper about alternatives to the conventional left-right political spectrum.

SummaryOnce there was a man who hated his neighbor. Everyday there would be music blasting from the neighbor’s house that disturbed the man trying to work. He had asked his neighbor to stop the noise politely many times, but the noise persisted. One day the man snapped and took one of the speakers and smashed it on the head of the neighbor. There is no more noise to worry about now. The man lies on his bed on death row. Should this man die for what he did? There are two ways for this man to go. He can either be put in prison for life with or without parole or sentenced to death.

SummaryAlthough there is a debate over the purpose of punitive damages, it is generally admitted that their main goals are to deter and to punish wrongdoers : “punitive damages are designed to punish a defendant for grossly inappropriate actions and, in doing so, to deter future such actions by signaling that their consequences can be severe”...
