One of the flaws that the opposition notices is that in way shield laws afford extra privileges to journalists and that no citizen should be able to ignore a court ordered subpoena. Simply put, journalist would be placed above the law. Justice Department Official John Ashcroft stated that “reporters today are driven by their editors to deliver tersely written “scoops” usually whispered to them by individuals with political or self-serving agendas who refuse to be identified” and that they “should ultimately be held accountable for acting recklessly and irresponsibly. Allowing journalist this privilege would only further allow them you be able to utilize non-credible sources. Opponents also cite problems with defining who is considered a journalist or news gatherer and who is not.
I believe that everyone is born with the freedom of speech, we are all born equally, and I also believe that you have rights no matter where you go. First things first are that everyone should have rights no matter where you go. Let’s say that an American journalist has come to a foreign country like Iraq and got into some kind of trouble, I believe that the journalist should still have the right to go to trial and fight his case. Like Article 6 says “Everyone has the right to recognition every as a person before the law.” The article explains that we can balance the right by just respecting that if we leave the country that we need to try the best you can to stay out of any trouble. If you were to get into law trouble in a foreign country the punishments can be more severe than they would be in America.
Ethics in sports is just as important as ethics in any other situation. To use steroids or any other performance enhancing drugs is just unethical and not fair to the game. Many records have been broken, but as fans how can we be sure that these records have been broken fairly? Frank Deford suggest “Maybe we’re more programmed to accept cheating in sports In this country since we grew up bitterly tolerating such utter corruption and hypocrisy in college athletes we love” (Source E) This may in fact be the sad reality. So in conclusion if Major League sports want to protect themselves for the future they must act now and enforce stricter drug testing policies.
The media is spreading a lot of false persuasions for gun which makes this subject so diverse and so argumentum. Since the national rifle association is fighting so hard to keep the second amendment the way it was written makes people realize that gun control may not be the best solution for the decrease of violent crimes in America. The positive view point’s of gun controls misconception makes the national rifle association strive harder to protect the seconded amendment of the bill of rights and benefit
Speech gives us the power to change and grow as individuals and as a nation. Freedom of speech makes us feel safe and secure in knowing that our government will listen to us and not punish us for speaking our minds. Other countries do not have the luxury of expressing their opinions without being punished and even killed. Since they cannot tell their government what they want nothing
Gun Control Analysis Essay Gun control have been on the forefronts of debate since the 1960’s when there were some high profile shootings. The increase of gun violence since the 1980’s has just increased the argument over who should be allowed to own and carry weapons. The Second Amendment is the biggest stumbling block in this debate because people interpreted it differently. The one side argues that it states that we have the right to bear arms, but the other side says that it doesn’t pertain to us anymore in the modern era. Politicians love to use the idea that removing legal guns will drastically reduce suicides, asassinations, gang-violence, school shootings, accidental child deaths, and general murders.
Desmond LeSure Professor Bolton ENGL 1020 19 April 2012 “Is the Three-Strikes Law fair and ethical?” There are individuals who were known as habitual criminals who constantly repeated the cycle of committing a crime, getting arrested, and eventually getting released. In 1993, Americans noticed that this was very costly to the public because the process of arresting and trying these criminals was expensive. American tax payers were beginning to become concerned with this issue and wanted something to be done about habitual offenders. Society is pushing the issue that it was more logical to keep repeat criminals in jail and not release them to commit more crimes. Politicians listened to society and executed a law that would put an end to
I think that this use of contradictory was brought upon to help the readers and people around the United States better cope with what happened. It served as a reality check to the audience. Junod knew that the word could possibly put him at risk with his audience because he could offend readers and potentially make them outraged but he did not care because he wanted them to deal with their emotions and face them instead of running away from
In my opinion these school shootings would be more likely to occur in a society that traffics constantly in extremely violent media images, versus a society where such images don't occur at all. I don't know which is worse: two teenage boys gunning down there classmates, or the constant bombardment of the story, by the media. What I think can be done to solve this problem, for one Congress could step up political and legal pressure to more effectively limit and regulate the production and distribution of media violence. The mass media should cover stories like this, but there is no reason for it to be on the front page of every newspaper and magazine in the country. It was tragic, but there are far worse things going on in the world right now.
Do you feel that our nation as a whole would be able to make the necessary changes and be successful if this were to become law? Myself, I have mixed emotions. If there were a time table set up to slowly phase out the automobiles from our country then we would have a greater chance of conforming to these new rulings. On the other hand, if this became effective immediately, I think we will be looking at catastrophic riots to begin with. Once the rioting starts to settle down, we would start to notice a substantial decline in our economy and a very negative effect on everyone’s mental
