Subtle discrimination is particularly difficult to measure in housing market transactions; nonetheless, landlords may use subtle discrimination to discourage minority clients from pursuing housing options. Traditional response/non-response measures in e-mail audit studies ignore subtle discrimination, and likely underestimate discrimination by mistaking treatment that appears equal for treatment that is different. What’s in the literature? What do we already know? The previous studies answer the question does discrimination occur in the housing market with an emphatic “yes.” Ondrich, Stricker, and Yinger(1998) propose three main types of behaviors agents can use to discriminate against minority clientele: information given about which units are available, facilitating the sale of a unit, and the geographic location of housing units shown or recommended.
Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley, 273 F.3d 429 (2d Cir. 2001) Shanikia Easter 1/24/2015 Instructor: Amy Cargle Applied Business Law Everest Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley, 273 F.3d 429 (2d Cir. 2001) I think that if you purchase any media you should be able to make personal copies because you purchase the movie and it is now your property. Also; the value of the media usually decreases after opening it anyway and because it is necessary to have a back up copy. In my opinion it will be very hard to balance between the rights of both groups on this issue because there is people for it and people against it.
She is unhappy about the unnecessary expense this statute imposes on her business and intends to file suit against the state of Confusion in an attempt to overturn the statute. In this paper I will discuss, which court will have jurisdiction over Tanya’s suit and whether the statute set-up by the state of Confusion is constitutional. I will list the stages in a civil suit and explore what provisions of the United States Constitution will be functional by the courts to determine the statute’s validity. Because the state of Confusion set- up this law, most likely they will not bulge in changing the law. Especially if one views that Tanya Trucker is the only complainant.
England shared the same revival of urban life that took place throughout England, which led to clusters of population in the towns without any agricultural activities. This new influx of urbanisation led to new types of identity within the towns, new laws and new corporate identity, which led to a European transformation. When looking at medieval cities gain a great insight into many pockets of society within the middle ages, the relationship between the King and the towns, the power in which the Church and Bishops hold, anti-Semitism and gender roles. In this essay however I am going to look at the cities and towns and look how, they opened up new trade like fairs and markets, it allowed a new permanent trading and created a created urban government. I will show that when looking at trade and economics within the towns and cities we can see the transformation of society within the Middle Ages.
Keefe, 402 U.S. 415 (1971), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that courts cannot prohibit peaceful distribution of pamphlets, unless a heavy burden is met to justify prior restraint. Background: Keefe, a real estate broker in Illinois, worked in Austin, Illinois. Some residents of Austin, including the Organization for a Better Austin (OBA), were disturbed by his business practices, which they considered to be inflammatory and controversial. They asserted that he attempted to generate sales by panicking white homeowners into selling, by suggesting that African Americans would soon be living nearby. The OBA attempted to coerce Keefe to change his tactics by distributing flyers in the neighborhood where Keefe resided.
Revolutionary Americans resented the economic restrictions, finding them exploitative. They claimed the policy restricted colonial trade and industry and raised the cost of many consumer goods. In his 1774 pamphlet, "A Summary View of the Rights of British America, " Thomas Jefferson asserted the Navigation Acts had infringed upon the colonists' freedom in preventing the "exercise of free trade with all parts of the world, possessed by the American colonists, as of natural right." Yet, as O. M. Dickerson points out, it is difficult to find opposition to the mercantile system among the colonists when the measures were purely regulatory and did not levy a tax on them. The British mercantile system did after all allow for colonial monopoly over certain markets such as tobacco, and not only encouraged, but with its 1660 regulation was instrumental in, the development of colonial shipbuilding.
But could any location on Earth really produce such lonesome, distressing symptoms in humans? According to William Kowinski’s cute “Mallaise: How to Know If You Have It”, one American establishment is a routine culprit: malls. Malls, certainly, were and are designed to affect people. But according to Kowinski, they have since become the purveyors of much more affecting symptoms than the traditional euphoria or simple annoyance. Mallaise or mal de mall has crept into American society.
Illegal votes minimize citizen’s rights in the Constitution and it undermines our democracy that was established and preached by the founding fathers; therefore a solution for this loophole should be quickly tied and these actions no longer tolerable or allowed under the 14th amendment. As citizens of the US, we have a right stated in the 1st amendment to be able to express our opinions; our values and beliefs should be directly represented through the voting process. Although future elections are predicted to be heavily influenced by this growing minority population, politicians are beginning to apprehend the negative brunt illegal immigration has bestowed upon our country as this could be a small factor in the current struggling economy. Congressman Tom Tancredo has vast prospective ideas on how to reform our immigration system. By working across the aisle a feasible and successful solution to the straining liability and encumbrances may be obtained to make our country incorrupt and hospitable to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the citizens of the United State of
Law & Popular Culture Can the Lex Populi increase access to the Legal System? There exists much argument in the legal profession that the Lex Populi, or law in popular culture, serves no purpose other then that of entertainment. Modern depictions of lawyers, the courtroom, judges and the legal system are criticised because they have little substantial value and are an inaccurate portrayal of the law in action. This paper considers that argument and examines the way in which law in popular culture can have a positive effect on increasing the lay man’s access to the legal system. Discussion centres around concepts of the lawyer as a translator, how the Lex Populi diminishes the value of the legal system because of its inaccuracies, the positives of law being depicted in popular culture and the role of the media and its influence on access to the legal system.
This generates commitments to objects instead of people, creating a more separate and powerful sense of self, which turns social relations into competitive interactions. Consumer culture has introduced disposability into the minds of consumers, which means more than throwing away produced goods, but also being able to throw away values, lifestyles, stable relationships, and attachments to things, buildings, people and received ways of being and doing (Harvey, 1990,285). American consumer culture came into being after WW1, when successful American corporations faced the threat of overproduction. Corporations needed to make sure consumers would buy their products and found ways to turn luxury products into functional products. Through advertising, product placement, celebrity endorsement and even social movements, corporations found ways to convince consumers to want things they didn’t need.
