    349 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1993, twenty three states and the federal government adopted some form of the three strike law intending to target repeat offenders. The State of Washington was the first to do so; the State of California soon followed with a considerably broader version of the law. Even though, adopted versions of the three strike law vary among the states, the laws generally reduced judicial discretion by mandating severe prison sentences for third (in some instances first and second) felony convictions. 1993 was unquestionably the peak of public concern about crime and the peak of the political response to that concern, resulting in what was a unique punitive period in American history. America’s incarceration rate increase more during the 1990s than

  • What Is Negativland False The Copyright Law?

    In the beginning of 1990’s, Negativland created a song, in addition to, portions of the song “ I Still Haven’t found What I’m looking for,” by the band U2, and various other artists. Negativland was sued and charged with a fine for copyright infrigement. Although some may believe that they were wrongfully accsed to create the song and album cover, however I affirm the decision of the lower court that Negativland violated the copyright law. Negativland should not be able to produce or sell anymore albums pertaining to the album they created in the case of Negativland v. U2.

    Harry Potter’s world is fascinating and different from the muggle world, but upon further analysis, shares similarities that are not all that surprising. While this world amazes the reader, as the story progresses the Ministry of Magic becomes a government that seemingly fails to protect its citizens. A society that has no government outside of bureaucracy, virtually no free press, and no public elections.
