Interactive Oral Argument Analysis
One specific idea that I thought was intriguing during the Interactive Oral is on Day 2 when a person stated that the Kanun is everyone’s life force. They must follow it no matter what or else they will be deemed as an outsider and traitor to society. As I thought about the argument, I realized that the Kanun is not only a constitution that everyone must follow, but also a cruel act to civilize people by punishing the wrongdoers with blood feuds that can last for decades. It seems that the Kanun represents the society before where obedience and equality are valued and should be created but it’s a severe punishment that continues the feud and hatred. Due to this argument, I felt that the Kanun was unjust and uncalled for because it leads to

    Published in the New York Times, Murray is addressing a primarily liberal audience. However, it is read by a general audience both liberals and conservatives between the ages of twenty and sixty because it is circulated nationwide and internationally. This newspaper reaches the educated upper, middle, and lower classes. Murray includes himself in the same category as the reader, however his tone and word choice suggest that he sides with Summer's radical comments and this in turn weakens his argument as a whole.…

    It goes without question, that human beings will always question the existence of “God”. Whether these questions are formed in support or denial of an omnipresent creator they are important in helping shape our morality. H J McCloskey and his article “On Being and Atheist” is very critical of theists. It thus presents several arguments on how believers are incorrect in their belief in “God”, cosmological and teleological. McCloskey also focus’s on the existence of evil and how one can find comfort in atheism when facing evil.…

    The method of skeptical inquiry or way by which Pyrrhonian skeptics bring themselves to withhold assent to every non evident proposition is known as the modes of suspension of judgment. There are five such modes that Sextus provides and they are based on: Discrepancy, regress ad infinitum, relativity, hypothesis and circular reasoning. (Empiricus, 165–169) The modes are designed to assist Pyrrhonian skeptics in in continuing their inquiry by guarding themselves from the disquieting state of dogmatism. For the sake of argument, suppose there is a dogmatist who believes that P. In order to avoid the snares of dogmatism, the Pyrrhonian skeptic would resort to withhold assent about P. According to the mode deriving from discrepancy, due to an undecidable…

    This Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights protects the rights of the accused in criminal prosecutions. Not only does this amendment provide the right to a speedy trial, the right to confront witnesses against him, the right to counsel, this amendment provides the right to be tried by an impartial jury of his peers. While the trial takes place, it is the responsibility of the jury to listen and retain facts and evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense. It is their duty to determine guilt or innocence based solely on the facts and evidence presented during trial. If a guilty verdict is unanimously concluded amongst the 12 or more jurors, this must be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt. It only takes one juror to dissent…

    Technological innovation—at least in consumer culture—often pairs with entertainment platforms. Smartphones, tablets, and even watches have been creating a tech reliant culture. While creative mediums have expressed caution for technology, the present day has embraced constant evolution. The main reason for the adoption of technology has been the maintenance of human control. Once human control is taken away, questions of ethics arise. Robotics has slowly evolved into the battlefield with machines like drones and UAVs leading the way. While intimidating, the inclusion of robots in warfare seems to be a natural evolution. With human oversight, advancements in robotics serve to bring a new dimension of defense. In We Should Not Ban ‘Killer Robots,’ and Here’s Why by Evan Ackerman and “War Machines: Recruiting Robots for Combat” by John Markoff, the authors discuss the evolution of robotics in warfare. Among the arguments, both talk of their implementation going forward.…

    A prosecutor's duty is to defer and produce evidence of the crime at hand to the judge and jury so that they can decide an appropriate sentence. According to the case of State v. Stu Dents, there are several charges against the defendant which range from moderate to severe. These charges include homicide, assault of a police officer, kidnapping, burglary, and crimes related to drugs. The prosecution must attempt to provide accurate evidence to prove the charges against Stu Dents. During this trial, the prosecution will evaluate the laws and statutes of Hawaii, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania to determine which state the case is the strongest. The prosecution will examine each of these states thoroughly to provide a better understanding of the charges, which will provide a guideline in determining the best sentencing alternatives.…

    The State of Texas is known for their strict rules on voting rights for convicts these including those who are currently incarcerated and those individuals who are released, but on parole. However, ex-offenders who have completed their probation and parole regain their voting rights but would have to re-register. I believe the voting rights for prisoners and ex-convicts should be reformed and changed in the State of Texas. The reason I stand by this is because they’re still citizens of the United States of America.…

    removal standard for illegal drug use beside marijuana is “Any use or purchase of drugs of abuse (except marijuana) within three (3) years before application”. I have not used any illegal drug beside marijuana within three (3) years of applying for the police examination. I last used an illegal drug beside marijuana in 2012, which is three years before the application was filed for the Columbus Police Examination. As you can see in the attached file, the polygraph shows that I have not lied or try to cover up this situation. I have been upfront and completely honest about the mishap. Since the standard is three years before filing for the application, I would like my file to be reviewed to continue with the police process.…

    This discussion leaves us with another trend that I need to explain: employer centrism seems associated with a justice’s view of reasonable accommodations. But why? I will suggest that a judge’s view of reasonable accommodations is a psychological effect of his employer- or employee-centric bias: the more employer-centric a judge is, the less likely he is to say that burdens put on employers are reasonable because of that bias. There is empirical backing for this hypothesis. A great deal of research has supported (though not without dissent) so-called “implicit bias”—thoughts and ideas, like stereotypical racial attitudes, that we do not recognize we have, but that we have nonetheless. Researchers at Cornell have found that implicit biases can manifest in judicial decisionmaking, with one study concluding, in clear terms, that “implicit biases can affect judges’ judgment[s]” (Rachlinski, 2009). In that study, black judges showing black-favoring implicit bias were more…
