Opponents of civil disobedience see it as a threat to democratic society and the forerunner of violence and anarchy. The premise... to disobey a law that they feel is unjust. As martin luther king Jr. , wrote in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that his conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law. " Civil disobedience is most justifiable when prior lawful attempts to rectify the situation have failed; and when the acts of civil disobedience are done to force the society to recognize the problem; when performed openly and publicly; and when the actor will accept the punishment. Many proponents urge that civil disobedience be used only in the most extreme cases, arguing that the Constitution provides many opportunities to voice one's grievances without breaking the law.
If the action of false detention is identified with any necessary action, it is often considered as a brainwashing of the victim (George v. International Society for Krishna Consciousness). In the case of Rob Jr., he was detained falsely by the Church of the Divine Light, the authority of the church, Tom Marsden, forced him to stay within the boundaries of the church by threatening that if he left the church premises he would be thrown into the eternal fires of hell. This was the provoking action, which was attempted by the church authority to imprison Rob Jr. In this case, for proving false imprisonment, the act of forcing Rob Jr. can be the essential element to help the Sherman’s take action the Church of the Divine
Today, there is a culture of divorce on demand despite the strict substantive provisions of the the MCA 1973. The Morton Commission wanted to avoid this by only allowing petitions for divorce from innocent petitioners who had matrimonial offences “committed against them” during their marriage by guilty respondents. The fault-based approach advocated by the Commission has not been totally removed from the current law. The MCA has been described as a mixed-economy because it contains a mixture of fault-based and non-fault based facts for the petitioner to demonstrate the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage. It is questionable whether fault, a matter more naturally suited to the criminal law is appropriate for such an important area of family law.
Intervention Studies on Forgiveness: A Meta-Analysis Liberty University Summary The topic covered by this article is based on the effectiveness of forgiveness intervention done through clinical studies. The article consisted of various case studies and analysis reported by Thomas W. Baskin and Robert D. Enright. Throughout the study, the common purpose was to prove that forgiveness is effective. The offended must forgive the offender who created anger, resentment, anxiety, and psychological depression. “Forgiveness has been define as the willful giving up of resentment in the face of another’s (or others) considerable injustice and responding with beneficence to the offender even though the that offender has no right to the forgivers moral goodness” (Baskin & Enright, p. 80, 2004).
Meaning that the authority that was elected by the society had to be beneficial to the society; as well as the right and wrong actions depended on the effect that these actions had on the unhappiness and happiness of an individual. The Enlightenment was also based on logic and humaneness was coming in to the picture. First of all, Baccaria’s saw torture as inadequate criminal justice procedures, since torture was adopted as a common technique to determine whether an individual was guilty or innocent through use of pain. This in Baccaria’s eyes is deemed as useless. Since the tortured party can be proven guilty or innocent based on their pain tolerance, if an individual who has committed a crime and is being tortured however their pain tolerance is very high and they are able to take the pain they may be judged as innocent, however if and individual is innocent or guilty has a low pain tolerance and is not able to cope with the pain and confesses then it no longer matters whether he committed the crime or not, thus making
In other words, both authors emphasize Eichmann’s normality, epitomising a diligent, acquiescent worker who perhaps absolved his heinous crimes through a duty to the state, the conditioning factor here being compliance to those giving orders and fulfilling one’s task to the utmost of one’s ability. However, Whitfield begins to explore a counter-argument to the question, stating that Eichmann instead had an evil disposition that correlates with the evil he conducted. The prosecutor Gideon Hausner during the trial attacks Eichmann with words like ‘cunning’, ‘flint-hearted plotter’ and ‘demonic personality’, adding that Eichmann ‘revelled in the exercise of power’. This notion is supported further through the findings of the Szondi test conducted on Eichmann. The findings of the ten tests on Eichmann led Léopold Szondi himself to conclude ‘You have on your hands a most dangerous person.”.
He uses the conflict between Brady and Drummond, the lawyers who represent both sides respectively, to convey the struggle for freedom and the need to respect differing opinions. As a defence lawyer shows, all opinions have value, "While we may not agree with your ideas, we respect your right to voice them". It can be seen how the director, Stanley Kramer, is on the side of evolutionism. This is evident as Kramer portrays the highly religious people from Hillsboro as unpleasant and narrow minded. Through the characterisation of the Reverend, his narrow mindedness can be seen when he says “lord, we ask the same curse for those who ask grace for this sinner”.
Although to think of him as the ignorant, illiterate sharecropper, committing incest with his teenage daughter, is the greater tendency, Jim Trueblood is neither ignorant nor illiterate, as illustrated by the meticulous plan he devises to keep from being forced to uproot his family, give up his home, and abandon his land. Despite his behavior, Trueblood emerges as a complex, dignified man who deserves our respect and compassion. Before he became the subject of vicious gossip, Trueblood was known as a hard worker and a blues singer. Trueblood's singing symbolizes his spiritual strength, which enables him to survive his ordeal by accepting responsibility for his behavior and praying for forgiveness. Once he has worked through this painful healing process, Trueblood regains his ability to sing.
| (2) “If any man is dangerous to the community and is subverting it by some sin, the treatment to be commended is his execution in order to preserve the common good.” ( Medieval philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas) | (3) The death penalty can be used to instill fear of the state or to underline those ill messages of propaganda examples: Nazi era, Mao Tse-tung’s regime and Apartheid. | (3) Is it better to be feared or respected? The answer should be feared. As fear will slowly progress into respect for the state, as the state practices those laws entrenched into its constitution. Furthermore the Nazi’s, Mao Tse-tung’s regime and Apartheid committed crimes against humanity.
Following the graphic's example of limiting offensive speech and not preserving the rights the constitution guarantees is an extremely dangerous move. The cartoon singles out the Westboro Baptist Church as the problem. Uphold a minor curtailment of freedom to protest offensively and a torrent of oppression will come rushing in. It's a slippery slope. While we don't agree with what other say, what we believe is morally right someone else can still disagree.
