A major comparison dealing with law in both societies was that neither was in favor of court matters. In fact, one rule the Amish followed in the Ordnung was that there was to be no suing. In Mores utopia if you took a matter to court, you defended
And that’s exactly why we are paying them, isn’t that something? But no matter what, it doesn’t give anybody the right to shoot at cops and even kill them; it’s outrageous. You need to be behind bars for life, because I don’t believe in death penalty (injection or electric chair). For me it’s another form of murder. It’s just criminals killing criminals. There is no such thing as the right to commit murder. A murderer is a murderer, period. If you are thinking about killing cops, you should
Hiroshima-Nagasaki: Have we learnt a lesson? August 6th, 1945…… A day that changed the dynamic of the entire world! The bombing of Hiroshima-Nagasaki was not just fatal! It was catastrophic!!!

detained by the police does not actually give them the right to counsel. In the Supreme Court, when dealing with appeals, defendants have no right to a court appointed counsel (Ross v.

Child labor is a heavy issue that continues to grow and affects more than ten million children each day. Child labor has existed for millennia, and although it has morphed with new technologies and growing industries

Many public policy arguments focus on fairness. Is affirmative action fair? Are congressional districts drawn to be fair? Is our tax policy fair? Is our method for funding schools fair? Arguments about justice or fairness have a long tradition in Western civilization.

From the Republic, written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, to A Theory of Justice, written by the late
Three decades into the HIV and AIDS pandemic, stigma remains a significant challenge for HIV and AIDS and TB control programs across the prevention-to-care continuum. Tuberculosis has been and still is often considered a ‘‘dirty disease’’, ‘‘a death penalty’’ or as affecting ‘‘guilty people’’(Nguyen Hoang Long, Johansson, Diwan, & Winkvist, 2001).
