Lithwick:Teens, Nude Photos and the Law In this article, published in Newsweek, the author explains the harsh possible outcomes from teenagers sending at the own free will nude photos of themselves to their mates or lovers. Something that the author defines as “sexting” epidemic and analyses how the law is treating offenders and victims. The author makes an obvious claim that the criminal-justice system is too harsh to solve any issues that deal with teens and technology because this issue is becoming more common and although he doesn’t examine different or alternative ways to solve the problem, personally I agree with him that the law should not interfere with such juvenile cases because being exposed to others instead of the person it was intended for is punishment enough. In the article, the author brings personal stories which highlight three
“With cockfighting comes gambling and a bunch of other organized crime activities, which isn’t good.” Said Lt. Sherry Bird, commander or the Kona Vice Division Gambling is involved to where people are betting on which bird they think will be the last one standing and gambling is illegal in the state of Hawaii. So cockfighting should remain illegal in Hawaii because cruelty to animals, violence, and gambling are all illegal in the state of Hawaii. According to Lt. Burt Shimabukuro, “ cockfighting runs from Thanksgiving through the July 4 weekend.” It has been a growing issue for many years and has supporters who don’t think that it is wrong. Some supporters feel this way because they say it’s for recreational and enjoyment. I personally think it’s still wrong because the birds can’t really defend for itself.
Ethical issues such as naming rape victims are at the discretion of the publisher. People who are raped fear their name will be mentioned on the news and thus fail to report the crime. This is why most newspapers and news stations do not name rape victims. “Someone who is sexually assaulted becomes the victim three times: initially during the actual assault, second during the interrogation, and lastly when their name is published by the press. Society often judges rape victims to be as guilty as the rapist” (Pember 280).
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
Even though consent can be given in 2 forms; implied or expressed, Sara did not give consent to Jon, Gordon or Chris because drinking causes a person to be vulnerable and incompetent and Sara was drunk when having sex with the boys. Consent is not just about manners and decency; it's actually the law. Legally, you need a partner
Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregations statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality” (219). Many people think that it is wrong to be homosexual. In the 1980’s the Department of Defense officially put a complete ban on gays in the military.
For example, the debate about gay marriage and if it is legal. As of now many states do not allow the marriage of gay people. Some states allow them to become a couple but call it something else such as the union of two people. The difference between the state and federal government is that each state has a different law about gay marriage. Not every state agrees that gay marriage is wrong and illegal, but if the federal government were to pass a amendment outlawing gay marriage then every state who allows gay marriage would have to declare it unconstitutional and against the law.
Alcohol did not create a negative impact for those who did not abuse it, but of course there always has to be those few who mess it all up for the rest of the population. During the times where prohibition was not in place, husbands would cause menacing crimes to their families due to their overdosing. The rates of child abuse drastically increased during the times before prohibition, as drunken fathers would come home from the bar causing harm to their young. Such acts caused alcohol consumption to be viewed in a negative way by groups of people and religions. To some, alcohol was considered to be “devil's juice” and was forbidden in some homes.
The law against polygamy is a law based on morals. Countless people believe gay marriage is morally wrong however it is not illegal.
