Daily Bleat Summary

The lie was close to the foreswearing of wrongdoing, a protestation of purity. Disgrace on us for allowing our legislature to threaten us. However, the general

United States deals with the second scenario and the government’s ability to prosecute leaders of well-organized political parties. The Court also developed new legal tests to measure the risk speech causing harm; the risk formula approach. The risk formula approach questions whether the gravity of the evil justifies the invasion of free speech in order to avoid danger. In Dennis v. Unites States, the Court found that the Secretary of the Communist party in the United States did not have First Amendment protections of free speech, assembly and publication of their political doctrines. Chief Justice Vinson stated in the Court’s decision that Dennis violated the Smith Act, for advocating the overthrowing of the U.S. government.

This book is very important because it teaches the reader things they didn’t know well or proves to them that they are wrong if they believed that the Holocaust was not harmful. No one had the right to treat these people in that way and no one has the right to ban this book because this will be censorship. Night also shows the truth about the Holocaust and teaches us that this period in history should be prevented from happening

A person who regrets something they’ve done, who is truly reticent of a mistake, should not giggle and be so flippant. (Pow) If a person is claiming self-defense, she should not lie and repeatedly change stories. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a fitting and accurate diagnosis, but it does not diminish the horror of the crime she committed. She changed her plea from guilty to not guilty, and then explained it was self-defense, and then again elaborated that it was a case of home invasion.(Pow)

The connection between the Salem Witch Trials and what happens to Bradbury in the Guardian Article is that in both scenarios, these people are being accused of committing crimes of treason because of the way they present themselves, the world chooses to believe that they are bad based on the way they look and present themselves. Society during both of these time periods had the ability to accuse others of horrible acts without any evidence linking the individual to the crime, the world was mostly just a free for all. In the Guardian Article, there is a statement saying, “He was out walking with a writer friend, and ‘a police car pulled up and the policeman got out and asked us ‘What are you doing?’ Bradbury explained that they were out walking. The

arguing that lying is a major problem that need fixed before everyone life just become one huge lie. This technique persuades the readers into agreeing, because she’s seen as a normal everyday person like the reader. Given these points, Ericsson concludes that lying is a natural habit all humans own. Do not beat yourself up if you can’t go one day without lying, because it’s is both good and bad depending on the case.

These crimes are often against women, reflecting the harsh reality of the dangers of large cities like New York. The portrayal of gender in ‘SVU’ subverts the patriarchy, particularly in the earlier episodes aired in the 1990s. The female lead, Olivia Benson, is a woman shaped by her experiences surrounding assault perpetrated by men. Throughout the series, the more brutal the stories get, the stronger she becomes. This is a comment on the perceived faults of New York’s society and its gender

The threat of Communism and the Red Scare put fear of group mentality into many people during the late 1940-50s.   The authors of 1984 and The Crucible used their respective works to comment on the social injustice going on in their own lives, which connects to injustice the exists throughout time anywhere in the world. Miller wrote his play, set in 1692, about Puritans and the Salem witch trials because he believed that, similar to his trial for HUAC in the 1950s, the trials in Salem were caused by false accusations and mass hysteria led by powerful individuals. In 1984, Orwell creates a world in the near future that shows group mentality and its threat to conform society with the government.

These two paragraphs show, truly, how and why segregation was an unjust law without going into segregation itself, this is another reason I think that paragraphs 6 and 7 are the strongest in this letter. These paragraphs mention segregation and talk about a situation of segregation, but they never go into great detail on segregation. They merely talk about what makes a law unjust or just and with that they prove segregation was unjust. I think that because King can prove that segregation is an unjust law without going into segregation itself is amazing and that it helped to strengthen both his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and civil rights

12 years of intense studying and interviewing is a good amount of supporting evidence, but she didn’t back it up enough with reasoning to persuade. After analyzing Dr. Brown’s “The Power of Vulnerability” we can see that the way her talk is structured helps us to see that we are all vulnerable, but that we are all capable of belonging, and of love. Brown’s credentials makes all of her points very valid, while she lacks the persuasion of her audience. Furthermore, Brene Brown captivated her audience and made them really look internally to find out what their vulnerability is, and how to embrace

In the other cases, the actions seem to happen due to negligence from the providers. When the business tries to reduce the amount of injuries, the contract is protected. The employees in the McCune vs Myrtle Beach Indoor Shooting Range case, the employees tried to fix

Samuel Roth, a literary business owner, was convicted in a District Court on charges of violating the federal obscenity statute by advertising an erotic novella. Roth’s first conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On a similar note, David Alberts, who ran a mail-order business in Los Angeles and, was charged for violating the California Penal Code after a complaint that he was selling obscene books. His conviction was also affirmed by an Appellate Department of the Superior Court of the State of California. Roth appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds that his obscene material was protected under the free speech provision of the First Amendment.

The exclusionary rule states that any evidence obtained by illegal search and seizure or information derived from the evidence from an illegal search and seizure will be inadmissible in court. Wolf v Colorado being overturned is an example of this. Police obtained Wolf’s appointment book with the information as to who Wolf’s patients were. The book is evidence obtained through an illegal search and seizure. The police then interrogated some of Wolf’s clients.

While it may be a bit extreme to associate Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the image of two pure, well-intentioned individuals inequitably cheated by the legal system (they supported Luigi Galleani, an anarchist leader who committed several acts of terrorism and published newspapers that contained bomb-making manuals) the proclamation stated by the governor of Massachusetts in 1977 wasn’t incorrect in stating that the Sacco Vanzetti trial had been influenced by several unjust factors. In fact, Webster Thayer, who judged the infamous case, was quoted as saying to a group of friends early in the trial, “Did you see what I did to those anarchist [explicative deleted] the other day?” Based on this quote alone, it appears as though judge Thayer was driven by some ulterior motives in his decision making -perhaps the desire to punish anarchists for whatever reasons to which he owed the misfortune of despising them- a quality that in no way should ever characterize a judge. Not only was Webster Thayer incredibly biased, but evidence sufficient enough to prove the two men guilty was never supplied.

A bias that I have developed so far in this class is that it made me cynical. I have developed this through readings in which people have used their discourse to manipulate others. A big factor in this bias is the book Holy Terrors, in which Osama bin Laden and George Bush are using discourse to manipulate the people of their countries to join in their political agenda, even if they are in the wrong. Bush telling the media that they could only broadcast certain clips of Osama, so that people would not feel as though he is just another leader trying to do good for his people. Bush wanted us to feel like Osama was evil and this played a big role on my cynical views.
