Welcome To Leith Analysis
When watching (Welcome to Leith) in class, I spent most of my time watching the other students. I wanted to see how they were reacting. I say that knowing that this moving was made to appeal to people’s emotions and not their rational side. With incidents like this one in the film and around the country it can be easy for people to just say to shut them up or even just jail them. Some may react in a way were they want to run them out of town with violence. But what about their rights Do they have any, Are the entitled to them? Or do we take them away just because what they have to say might hurt a persons felling’s? I wanted to take a look at just the rights of all of Mr. Cobb no matter the views one may have about him or of the people who may be inclined to follow in the same teaching as Mr. Cobb. I want to specifically look at the 1st and 14th amendments in how they pertain to the films. Along with how it can be easy to losses site of those amendments when one just deals with events only with their emotions.

I will be centering my forces on Mr. Cobb and his associate for my argument, but not in the way that the film did. I want to show that no matter what kind of speech a person my

Cobb. Well once again I want to look at the Southern Poverty Law Center. I have been going back and forth on this for some time and probably will continue to do so well after this paper is done. I say that do to Mr. Cobb kind of being a pseudo celebrity in the world of racism. Witch would give the southern poverty law center the legal standing to publish his whereabouts. One the other hand when douse it just be come flat out harassment. I can’t answer that. To tell you the truth only the Supreme Court can if it is ever brought up to that leave. For the argument of this paper though I will say that Mr. Cobb douse not fall under the celebrity umbrella and there for his privacy was

    I tend to my garden as I watch several cars drive along my street back to their homes. Tom Robinson’s trial must be over. Before the trial even started, I predicted that the verdict would be guilty. When I saw Jem, Scout, and Dill arrive back at their house with long faces, my prediction was confirmed. It is still upsetting for me to hear that another innocent black man’s life was ruined because of the way white people treat them. I did not attend the trial; I do not wish to see an innocent person on trial for their life. I take off my gardening gloves and head inside. As I wash my hands, I see the children looking very upset and confused. I decide to make them chocolate cakes to help to cheer them up. They must be extremely confused and disappointed about the verdict of the trial. They are too young to completely understand our unfair society.…

    All of these rights, the Court said, were assured by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which makes fundamental guarantees of the Bill of Rights binding upon the states. The arbitrariness and egregiousness of South Carolina's violation of the petitioners' rights was manifest in the fact that they were not convicted of having violated any proper statute, only an ill-defined rule: “We do not review in this case criminal convictions resulting from the evenhanded application of a precise and narrowly drawn regulatory statute evincing a legislative judgment that certain specific conduct be limited or proscribed. If, for example, the petitioners had been convicted upon evidence that they had violated a law regulating traffic, or had disobeyed a law reasonably limiting the periods during which the State House grounds were open to the public, this would be a different…

    Rights are indefinitely something that people are born with, not something you earn. In The Laramie Project, by Moisés Kaufman and the members of the Tectonic Theater Project, Matthew Shepard, a homosexual college student was at a bar drinking and keeping to himself, when two other men Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson who were drunk approached the bar. They both made plans between each other to pretend to be gay and take Matthew Shepard somewhere and teach him a lesson; they attacked him, left him tied to a fence all bloodied .The author of The Laramie Project wanted this story to reach everywhere, and touch people’s hearts, so that they can see that no one should be treated differently because of how one chooses to express their person.…

    February 6th is a day that will forever be remembered by Patriot fans around the nation as the day Tom Brady led the greatest comeback in modern football to become a five-time Super Bowl champion. However, for millions more, this day is representative of a long human rights debate that began over centuries ago. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Edmund Burke, and Jeremy Bentham met on this day to have an important debate over human rights. Stanton gave her viewpoint on the issue, then we heard a conservative contradiction from Edmund Burke, and a utilitarian contradiction from Jeremy Bentham. In order to articulate this debateeffectively, this article will begin with the summation of Elizabeth Canton’s argument, then move to Burke and Bentham. Through…

    ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’ and ‘Mississippi Burning’ raised interest about basic human rights and the way people were treated in the 1930’s and 1960’s. It leaves audiences questioning if over time racism has receded, or is as prominent as ever. Both the novel and the movie show us that as long as someone steps forward, everyone will begin to follow.…
