According to King, it is impractical because it slows the process of ending the oppression for all, and it is immoral because it seeks humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding. So, violence destroys community and brotherhood by planting hatred rather than love. The third way based on King is nonviolent resistance. He believes in this way no individual or group need give in to any wrong, nor need anyone resort to violence in order to right a wrong. According to king, this is the method that oppressed people must follow to win against the unjust system while loving the perpetrators of the system.
The former employee, Pelvas, complained to the EEOC that the mandatory services are in conflict with his beliefs. One of the defenses that Townley used was the “undue hardship” if they accommodate religious beliefs of Pelvas, which would excuse him from attending the religious services. Townley lost in this argument because the court did not see undue hardship happening for the company if they not allow Pelvas to attend the services. For our situation, we can win in this case because our claim of undue hardship is valid, unlike the Townley’s. We needed this shift change because of business necessity.
With this frame of mind, they lack the motivation to do better and succeed. ), Collectivism (The w/c value being part of a group.

In the vigilantism cases, although we could all relate to the frustration involved for the actors, we all agree that one must stay within the bounds of the law to seek out justice. The next discussion involved civil disobedience and we found that we agreed that civil disobedience has been helpful historically to help change the laws and improve our society. However, the general consensus on civil disobedience was also that the acts of disobedience must be done in a peaceful manner for the acts to be effective. The final acts of crimes among professionals had another anonymous decision. Our team found that we did not agree with those professionals who chose to commit crimes.
He wanted to do this because he wanted to get the money he lost back, but by doing that they will lose their dignity. Even though Walter does not end up choosing the money, he still did not change his action and thus chooses to be a conformist. “Girl, if you don’t get all them silly ideas out of your head! You better marry yourself a man with some loot” (III.i.150). He continues to argue with Beneatha over money.
They can raise and lower it. If they wanted to make it higher or lower, they could. This is usually the most important piece because people don’t want to pay taxes, even if it is to benefit the country. Having our money taken away is not what people want without good reason. Our representatives have to decide on what the cost of improvement is and if the people really want or need it.
The immigrant identity is clearly portrayed as inviting exploitation and prohibiting the family from succeeding, but the family fails to realize that the American identity is similarly problematic and offers just as little opportunity for freedom and success, but for different reasons. In short, the poison in the air is the effect of American capitalism, which implicitly pits the poor against each other in the search for work and the need to maintain that work regardless of how denigrating or dangerous it is. However, the family does not realize this at first, and fails to recognize that buying into the idea that hard work alone will bring human rights and success is just as naive and makes them just as exploitable as relying upon the goodwill of the wedding guests to help pay for the cost. When Jurgis is still naively invested in this notion, he asks “do you want me to believe that with these arms […] people will ever let me starve?” (Sinclair 23-24). Jurgis believes that his physical ability for labor will be enough to ensure his and his family's success, but this is just as foolhardy as the belief that holding on to their Lithuanian wedding tradition could shield the family from the ravages of American capitalism.

Although, a deontologist may assign a duty to his or her self, there is no rationale for deciding an individual’s duty. Looking back on the person who committed the financial crimes, in virtue theory he may have just accidentally wrote the check off the wrong account. In utilitarianism theory, he may have written the check for his mother’s mortgage so that she can buy time to avoid foreclosure on her home.
It states that in order to be entitled to bring a case, there must be a legitimate controversy, as opposed to simply a hypothetical situation or a friendly, faux case in order to prove some sort of point. It also states that there must be actual harm caused by the law or practice that is being addressed as opposed to a simply having dislike for an aspect of government. Lastly, standing states that one is not allowed to challenge the constitutionality of federal government action solely because he or she pays taxes. The reason this is an issue is primarily because some people thought they could sue because they did not like where their tax dollars were going, but the Court’s response was that they had the power to vote for politicians who would help put their money into different funds. It is easier now than in the past to acquire standing and people can file class-action suits or ask the courts to order federal officials to carry out an act that they were under a legal act to perform or refrain from if it does not follow the
