    Case Study: Ginsberg V. Unified School District

    By chiefly drawing on legal precedence in four court cases—Brown, Governor of California, et al. v. Entertainment Merchants Association, et al. (Brown v. EMA), Ginsberg v. New York, Case v. Unified School District, and Campbell v. St-Tammany Parish School Board—, this paper endorses the claim that all books which present controversial subject matter should have an informative label on them. Controversial subject matter is stipulated as any content that may cause emotional or mental harm on well-being of persons of any age, such topics include, but are not limited to: any historical contexts that deal with cruel and inhuman social and political conditions (for example, Nazi Germany, or slavery in the United-States), homophobia and transphobia,…

    1984 Privacy Invasion Related to Patriot Act Essay Example

    The USA PATRIOT Act is a law ratified by the government under George W Bush on October 26th 2001. This law stood for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism. It was put into effect after the terrorist attack of 9/11. At first many supported this act and what it stood for. When voted upon very few people were against it. Both houses of congress and both political parties fully supported the Patriot Act. After the trauma of September 11th people were willing to give up their civil liberties Many including our government believe that this act was put into effect to protect us from terrorism, but in fact this act invaded the privacy of many innocent people. The act gives the government the ability to search telephone calls, emails, financial matters especially one involving foreign individuals, and even medical records for people who are “suspected” of endangering the country. With the act in effect the government is able to detain and deport immigrants suspected of being involved with terrorism. Many immigrants were stereotyped as suspects and treated differently by our government under this act. When looking at the act, there are many similarities to the policies that "Big Brother" encouraged in Orwell’s novel.…

    Information Freedom: the Ethical Implications of Sopa

    What brought SOPA into the limelight is the criteria it uses to determine what a copyright-infringing site is, and the methods it allows to punish those websites. It was drafted with the intention of combating websites that host U.S. copyrighted content, many of which are hosted offshore and outside of U.S. legal jurisdiction; and subsequently focuses on attacking U.S. based internet services that could benefit such ‘rogue sites.’ The sites it targets are defined as being “dedicated to the theft of U.S. property.” The qualifications for such a site?…

    Argumentative Essay: Aviation Security And Civil Liberties

    While the act itself had noble intentions of preserving the right of copyright holders the terminology used to describe and detail it led to fears of infringement of the first amendment, the right of free speech. The american public out-lashed at the potential loss of their first amendment rights, and so the bill was not passed. Still, the government’s intention was to preserve the safety of individual’s intellectual property, their means simply managed to go farther than the public was willing. Thus we can see a delicate and hard to maintain stability between protecting people’s rights, and ensuring their…

    1. Similarly, Courts of Appeals in sexual harassment cases have properly drawn on standards developed in cases involving racial harassment. See, e.g., Carrero v. New York City Housing Auth., 890 F.2d 569, 577 (CA2 1989) (citing Lopez v. S. B. Thomas, Inc., 831 F.2d 1184, 1189 (CA2 1987), a case of racial harassment, for the proposition that incidents of environmental sexual harassment “must be more than episodic; they must be sufficiently continuous and concerted in order to be deemed pervasive”). Although racial and sexual harassment will often take different forms, and standards my not be entirely interchangeable, we think there is good sense in seeking generally to harmonize the standards of what amounts to actionable harassment.…

    Assignment 1: Critical Legal Thinking Case

    The first amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting thee press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. Restricting the Monkey Juice billboards have raised an important constitutional issue which our company will use in our effort to challenge the ordinance. Because prohibiting the billboards that advertise alcohol is directly regulating speech, then it is safe to say that is directly violate the right of free speech protected by the First Amendment to the U.S Constitution.…

    Critical Legal Studies

    Critical legal study (CLS) is a theory that challenges and overturns accepted norms and standards in legal theory and practice. Supporters of this theory believe that logic and structure attributed to the law grow out of the power relationships of the society. The law exists to support the interests of the party or class that forms it and is merely a collection of beliefs and prejudices that legitimize the injustices of society.…
