Calley wound up spending three and a half years under house arrest at Fort Benning Georgia, where a federal judge ultimately ordered his release.” (Powers, 2013). Even though these two men were obeying orders they were both tried and found guilty of committing murder. These men regardless if they opted to obey the orders or not would have been tired.

Longman warnings: Source: http://www.alrc.gov.au/publications/28.%20Other%20Trial%20Processes/longman-warning 8.36 In Longman,[54] a complaint was made more than 20 years after the alleged offence. In general terms, the case requires that the jury be warned that, because of the passage of a number of years, it would be ‘dangerous to convict’ on the complainant’s evidence alone unless the jury is satisfied of its truth and accuracy, having scrutinised the complainant’s evidence with great care. [55] The rationale for the warning is that a significant delay puts the accused at a forensic disadvantage because he or she has lost the ‘means of testing the complainant’s allegations which would have been open to him [or her] had there been no

Micaela Bermudez Carla Deicke Grady Philosophy 3 23, October 2014 Mental Health Services Have you ever wondered why there is so much violence and suicide? Why are the jails and prisons expanding? Lack of mental health services is a huge reason. In November of 2013, a Virginia state senator, Creigh Deeds, was stabbed by his son, Gus, who was mentally ill.

Those mentally ill who cannot get the help needed due to money issues, or not having enough mental health services reaching out to them, might lead them to commit suicide, kill or harm others, or end up in jails and prisons.
Running header: ASSISTED SUICIDE Where Do I Stand on Assisted Suicide Keith James PHI 200 Prof. Davis February 14, 2011 ASSISTED SUICIDE Where Do I Stand on Assisted Suicide Upon completion of reading this weeks assignment, I find myself at a cross road between the perils of my belief and the wishes of a family member and society. This dilemma of assisted suicide is a very touchy subject that I will attempt to confront in this paper. Although I have never had the pleasure or should I say the displeasure of having to deal with the issue of assisted suicide or euthanasia, however after reading the article titled: Confronting Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: My Father’s Death, by Susan M. Wolf, I have a small and limited understanding of what it entails. As I began to read, I thought of what degree would I go to ensure the well-being of my mother or father if they became terminally ill. Would I have the strength to ask for one of them to have an accelerated death? I pondered this through my mind for many a day and night.
The Process of Ethical Decision Making E. Alyce Zellmer Liberty University Abstract The purpose of this paper is to delve into a good process of decision making pertaining specifically to ethical dilemmas that will inevitably arise during a counselor’s career. Ethical dilemmas are, by their very nature, not easy to resolve. As such, it is important to have a process or outline with which to structure and guide one’s thoughts and decisions about such dilemmas. Having such a process helps the decision maker, in this case, a counselor, put a little emotional distance between himself or herself and the problem at hand. Writing it all out would also be beneficial for two reasons.
Several people experience horrific traumas in their life times. Some people are fortunate enough to overcome the stress and the emotional wounds marked on them; other can’t. For instance, in the novel When the Emperor was Divine by Julie Otsuka, the father undergoes Post Traumatic Stress disorder due to the trauma he experienced for the last four years. The father is taken away from his family by government officials late at night and brought to the station where he was interrogated by them, who believe he is a criminal. ‘He must be an undercover spy working for the Japanese Emperor Hirohito’.
Ethical Lens Peter Urrutia Gen200 September 19, 2012 Timothy Harrington Ethical Lens This course has encouraged the use of an ethics game that determines what an individual’s particular ethical outlook is. The ethical lens looks at a couple of specific categories preferred lens, blind spots, strengths, weaknesses, values, and results of behavior. This serves as a valuable tool to understand your outlook toward ethics as well as others outlook on you. My personal preferred ethical lens was the rights/responsibilities and relationship lens. According to the exercise this lens means that I use reasoning skills and universal rules that each person should follow along with fairness and justice.
