A world of Weirdness Once upon a time lived a beautiful princess kidnapped and brought to a weird castle. She married the weird princess in a weird kingdom. Although this was all very strange to the people they accepted strangeness, for they were from the empire “StrangeVille”. StrangeVille was a small secluded place that no one entered for it was terrifying, mysterious, and scary. Once upon a time lived a beautiful princess kidnapped and brought to a weird castle.
They heard evidence that the ruling by the court could mean that tens of thousands of people could be detained under the mental health act. In assessing whether H L had been detained they concluded in the common law of false imprisonment, because there must be actual & not just potential restraint to engage the tort. Some have suggested this might be at odds with other false imprisonment procedures. It was this aspect of the judgment stating that the trusts augment that H R had not been formally detained & was always free to go as stretching credibility to the breaking point. Unanimously it was held that even if H L had been found to have been detained it would have been justified under common law of necessity.
In the first possible way that fiction can be used to tell the truth is by understanding and reading into or about the events in a fiction story. If you know the truth behind the actual story it is very revealing to how it is in reality. For example, in the story One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is related to Ten Days in a Mad House in the revealing way of how the patients are treated by the doctors and especially the nurses in the institutions. Both of the nurses were abusive and or either threatening. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ratched was the mean and threatening nurse who would tell her insane patients that they would electroshock therapy if they didn’t obey or if they were misbehaving.
One criticism of intelligence agencies that people were shocked to hear through the 9/11 Commission Report was that the Central Intelligence Agency had information on some of the suspects involved in the 9/11 plot. This information was requested by FBI agents multiple times but was not handed over because it would have jeopardized the case CIA was building against other operatives. (Soufan, 2011). The PATRIOT Act also allowed warrants to be issued in any district, whether or not the activity being investigated was being conducted in that district or not (Landahl, 2007). It also created penalties for harboring terrorists, increased maximum sentences for terrorism related activities, and most importantly eliminated the statue of limitations for terrorist activities (Landahl, 2007).
But what good is intelligence if it’s not accurate (423)? Torturing a prisoner does not guarantee accurate information. The person being tortured can easily give false and misleading information. McCain himself gave false information when he was a prisoner, refusing to put his comrades in harm’s way. In fact, when questioned about the names of his flight squadron members, and he gave the Vietnamese names of the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers (423).
Atticus used logos to attempt at logically convincing this racist jury that there was no way Mr. Robinson could have committed the rape. The first fact thrown at the jury was, “The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence”. Which was true, they did not have a doctor confirm that Miss Mayela was actually raped; they instead went by the word of the two most unreliable people in Maycomb County. The fact that Mr. Bob Ewell would not have a doctor confirm that his daughter had been raped had to have been a sign that his story was not credible. The second fact was, “Mayela Ewell was beaten savagely by someone who led almost exclusively with his left”.
In the Zimbardo Study, the ‘debriefing’ guideline was violated because the participants that were allocated the prisoner role, were not fully debriefed about when they’d be arrested ‘local police helped…before the study’. Zimbardo violated this guideline because it added to the element of conforming to the role and realistically being treated like a prisoner. If they had been told when they would be arrested, then the participant may’ve had time to prepare for their role and prepare mentally on how to act like a prisoner. This is more realistic, because in most cases criminals or people don’t anticipate when they will be arrested and don’t have time to mentally prepare for the change of environment and the change in which society will view
Torture is sometimes used when a suspect is believed to have information on a catastrophic event or might know of a terrorist organization. The suspect is then exposed to a painful series of different mental and physical methods to give up the desired information. Torture has been used in times of war and in situations where the information could save a society form danger. However, torture should never be justifiable or acceptable because it usually doesn’t provide reliable information, the person that we want to torture might truly not know the information that we would like to obtain, and it would degrade our nations integrity. “Suspects that are inflicted with torture will say just about anything to
An example of the state committing an unjust act against the individual was evidenced in the recent Troy Davis case. Even if Davis was guilty, there was enough doubt for the state to delay his execution in order to determine the best course of action to take. This is just one widely recognized example, there might be many more examples of unjust acts committed by the state. Should for some reason Troy Davis had been broken out of prison against the will of the state, once again Socrates would not justify this. It's situations such as this that makes me not believe in legal obligation to the extent which Socrates does where it's almost absolute.
He walked because they said he felt threaten from the argument he had started. They seem to fail to realize you can’t prove self-defense if one party is dead. So many people are misusing this law that the government has written to justify a situation. Third, stand your ground law should be outlawed because of the inability of common individuals to make life and death decisions. I have researched a few stories behind the stand your ground law and its amazing how so many people have got away with murder.
