In the year 2013 the state of Florida passed a law indicating that texting and driving is now banned. Even though this law was passed, this law states that in order to get in trouble for this offense you must have to commit 2 offenses, which raised questions for civilians with how effective this law really is. Some residents feared that other residents (mostly referring to teenagers and other young and reckless drivers), will not be open minded to this law. In addition this may lead to some residents living in fear of others breaking the law, resulting in an accident, and having innocent people lose their lives over a simple text message that could have waited. The problem is some locals want to create a more improved exceeding, and stronger law, which is understanding but Florida is doing the best they can do at the moment to help prevent texting and driving.
Famous rappers such as Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, R. Kelly, and ECT… have almost planted these racial slurs into our minds through there “trashy rap”. Imus in morning was not only reprimanded for his comments but later let go, due to the uprising of the black community. Rappers, Movie Stars, Comedians and even Gangsters have been giving black woman and negative name calling them “items, hoes, and even bitches.” This is not even in the privacy of their home it is in public on movies and even cd’s.

What if more prisoners got the notion complying with “chemical castration” would reduce or even revoke their sentence? DeWayne Wickham of USA Today presented this argument “Castration often fails to halt offenders” His 2001 article goes on arguing that “Rape and most other sexual offenses have little to do with sex and more to do with physical domination” (Wickham par 3).Wickham’s article also contains an interesting quote Florida prosecutor Jerry Burford told the St. Petersburg Times “I get a lot of people who are impotent that still commit sexual battery. It's not their gonads that cause them to commit sexual battery. It's their
\ Noel Rivera English 102 Prof- McNamara Rap music promotes violence! The violent effect of rap music has been proven time and time again that it not only promotes but encourages violence and unlawfulness to it audience. Rap music in the 20th century has become a part of American culture and its message to the youth is connected with popular yet misguided phrases like “Get rich or die trying”, “Money over Bitches”, “Thug life”, and the most popular, “F**k the police!”. This language in rap music is something that parents need to consider before letting their child listen to their favorite Hip-Hop artist. However, this wasn’t always the case.
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: A critical look into the United States’ military policy on gay and lesbian soldiers, and why it should be repealed. Compiled by: Michael T. Johnson Prepared in fulfillment of the requirements for POL 497 Seminar: Post-Modern War, Spring 2009, Professor Opello History of anti-gay U.S. military policy Don’t ask, Don’t Tell has not always been on the books as a military directive. But in all reality, it has been more of an underlying tone since the beginning of America. As we see, the American Revolutionary War was a time when we saw the first instance of “homosexuality” banned.

While the statement is true and affirmative action has in fact opened many doors to African Americans it has also set many up for failure and has begun a path of separation again. People of colored skin have been singled out by rules and guidelines of companies for decades and yet the government still wants to call it fair. Is it really fair though? Is it fair to give a job to someone just because of the color of their skin? We are now separating people based off our assumptions of what someone can do and what someone cannot do.

What else is known is that since he has a history of pretty crime this makes the story stick to some readers but I have debunked the accusation. It is clear that
Society often judges rape victims to be as guilty as the rapist” (Pember 280). The last area of privacy law is false light. It is illegal to publicize material that places an individual in a false light if the false light in which the individual was placed would be offensive to a reasonable person and the publisher of the material was at fault when the publication was made (Pember 291). False light law is rapidly losing recognition among the courts. False light occurs when a false statement is published about an individual that causes them to feel
