1 in every 4 college students admit to being raped or sexually assaulted on campus, this number fails to include the thousands of rape victims whose stories are never heard. Rape culture prevails on college campus because only an estimated 35% of these victims’abusers are dealt with. Of those, only an estimated 20 -30% percent are dealt with severely. Colleges ignore the severity rape culture on campus because it is a problem that is extremely difficult to remedy, but ignoring a problem will not solve it. “Culture is vital to the human species, but some cultural patterns are destructive” (Herman 45).
Prosser is the second oldest of eleven children but the first to go to college. When she was in high school, her and her brother went to live with a family member because the family had moved to Corpus Christi, Texas, where there was no black high school. She graduated from high school valedictorian in 1910 and from there she was determined to continue her pursuit of a higher education. (2005) Inez Prosser at a young age was very determined; the bulk of her life was spent pushing past the limitations that the world would try to enforce. Inez Prosser was raised during a time that racism and segregation were very openly accepted forms of behavior.
This was established in both Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret, 119 S.Ct. 992, (U.S. 1999); and Roncker v. Walter, 700 F.2d 1058, (1983). In the Cedar Rapids case, the student was dependent on a ventilator, and his mother asked the school to provide the necessary health service for him to attend school. The school district argued that their responsibilities did not include the necessary one on one nursing services that would be required throughout the day. The court determined that the school could not depend on the financial aspect to define related service or to exclude medical service.
The findings cannot be generalised globally to other cultures and races as the study only involved American, black and white inmates. Harer and Steffenmeier’s study also used secondary data which poses no ethical issues but may be unreliable and outdated. Further limitations of this model were put forward by McCorkle et al who claim that The Importation Model fails to highlight suggestions on how to control violent offenders, or how to reduce prison cruelty. Moreover, this model predicts that previous gang members also increase levels of institutional violence. However, DeLisi et al studied over 800 male inmates and found no correlation between gang membership and institutional violence.
They came to that verdict because he was black, and he wasn’t a citizen, so he was not entitled to the rights of a citizen. They said Scott had no right to sue, never had been free, and that the Constitution didn’t declare that territories could prohibit slavery, which meant the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. Luckily for Scott, after the decision, Peter Blow's sons (childhood friends) had helped pay Scott's legal fees over the years. After the Supreme Court’s decision, the sons had bought Dred and Harriet R. Scott, and set them free. Unfortunately, Scott died nine months
Second Writing Assignment Shawn Naylor Donald Cowart Rejects Treatment (pg. 3-6) After reading Donald (Dax) Cowart Rejects Treatment – and Is Ignored, there are some clearly visible ethical issues within this case. Donald was a 25 year old college graduate who served our country and sadly felt as if he was betrayed. He was in top physical condition and was working with his father at the time of the incident; there was nothing that he could do in order to escape that terrible tragedy. The major ethical issue was that Donald was not allowed his own decisions to be carried out.
There is no reasonable government interest that validates the burden the law imposes on voters. “In Philadelphia, for instance, almost one-fifth of the registered voters may not have an acceptable form of identification to vote on Election Day. Statewide, almost one-tenth may not.” In response to News21, Pennsylvania officials reported no cases of Election Day voter-impersonation fraud since 2000. “This law is a solution solving a problem that does not exist,” said Democratic state Sen. Vincent Hughes. “Hughes called the law partisan and, echoing Turzai, said its purpose is “to elect Mitt Romney.” Voter ID Laws have become a negative aspect to our country’s election process.
These people are projected to have incomes too high to qualify for their state’s existing Medicaid programs, but below the federal poverty level (nearly $11,500 for an individual) required to be eligible for federal subsidies to buy private coverage on the new online insurance marketplaces set up by the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid is the state-federal health insurance program for the poor. “Millions of adults will remain outside the reach of the ACA and continue to have limited, if any, options for health coverage,” the study concludes. The law provides full federal funding for three years to states that expand Medicaid to cover residents under 138 percent of the poverty level (or just under $15,900 for an individual). But the Supreme Court made that requirement effectively optional for states, and most Republican led-states have opted against expanding the
The impression one gets is that the student-athlete plays a sport and receives a quality education. This in fact is not the case for many college athletes (745). In the case of Kevin Ross v Creighton University, a basketball player at the university finished his four years of “study” with a GPA of 0.54 and was completely illiterate. A lawsuit was filed against the university for wrongfully recruiting and enrolling him despite knowledge that he was unprepared to participate effectively in the universities academic program and had very little chance to obtain a degree. It is absolutely absurd for a college graduate to “double dribble” in the classroom and ultimately “foul out” of life.
