This was necessary because the sentence was so inadequate that it needed to be changed for Thomas and his family in order to achieve justice as well as to deter acts of alcohol fuelled violence by emphasising to society that this behaviour is no longer acceptable. The fact that the case was appealed highlights that the law is responsive to meeting society’s needs, but this raises the question why should the public have to ‘outcry’ before justice is achieved for victims. The appeal meant that Thomas’s family had to relive the whole night again therefore it wasn’t in their best interests as instead of saying goodbye and remembering Thomas they had to relive the entire case and events to get an
Analysis of “Organ Sales Will Save Lives” English 112 11:30-12:45 9/19/2012 Analysis of “Organ Sales Will Save Lives” Thousands of people die every year from a tragic disease known as end-stage renal failure. However, these deaths could be easily prevented with the legalization of kidney sales for transplant. Countless people around the world are either desperate to sell or buy a kidney, yet restrictions on such transactions have caused the black market organ trade to thrive. Restraints on kidney sales not only promotes risky conditions in which to purchase one, but cheats the seller out of due compensation if it were legal. In her essay “Organ Sales Will Save Lives”, Joanna Mackay explains how legalizing kidney sales would be beneficial in more ways than one; saving the lives of patients willing to buy kidneys, and with legal compensation, helping to end poverty in the countries of those willing to sell.

Now that people weren’t consuming contaminated water, the chance of people contracting fatal diseases such as cholera and other diseases was lowered.
Allan Bakke was clearly discriminated against because he did not fall under the races that the university had a predetermined number of admissions for. When the University of California did not admit Bakke, twice, they subjected him to reverse discrimination. An individual’s race should be an additional attribute but not the sole deciding factor for admission. To this day affirmative action programs, as well as the topic of reverse discrimination, are contentious subjects (Shay, 2012). As the Court was almost split on the decision, so are many
Legal Aspects of Emergency Services Legal Aspects of Emergency Services Jamie Sisson Kaplan University FS208 Prof: Thomas Downey 3/28/2011 Sexual Harassment In Tennessee, the courts also describe sexual harassment as "any unequal treatment of an employee that would not occur but for the employee's gender." The conduct does not have to be "sexual" in nature but must still be unwelcome and severe enough to make a reasonable person uncomfortable. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. It is illegal, it can devastate those who experience it, and it often destroys the morale and productivity of the work environment. It is widespread in the fire service, and the numbers are not getting better.
The restrictions on sugary drinks contributed towards a branch out of many educational campaigns. The most influential campaign that caused the greatest decrease in obesity rates was ‘Rethink Your Drink’ proposed by the Hawaii Department of Health. Furthermore, limiting the size people can purchase sugary drinks will help stop the growth of beverage portions in the restaurant industry. Chain-restaurants have increased their beverage portion sizes monumentally over the past few decades, and bigger portion sizes have been proven to lead to greater consumption. Surely people will learn from the restrictions put on detrimental drinks, understand the dangers that come from drinking such large quantities of sugary beverages, and how harmful they can be towards the

Furthermore, it will lower the chances of scratches on wooden floors and discoloration of carpet floors. People spend hundreds of dollars to steam clean carpets, but by following this practice will be able to spend that money elsewhere and use their time more efficiently. Many people do not realize that removing shoes before entering a house can keep those within the home safe from outdoor pesticides and pollutants that can contaminate carpets and floors. Adopting this practice will help reduce allergens that shoes carry from outside, as Breyer states, “An EPA study, reported in Environmental Science & Technology provided the first proof that pesticides can be tracked into residences on shoes” (n.p.).
