The outcome was hailed a victory for representative government, democracy, government accountability and fundamental human rights. However, perhaps the biggest social issue related to the case, the result was in essence a vindication of Indigenous and Aboriginal rights. Obvious social issues applied in the case, after all, societal prejudice against prisoners is what first spawned the Howard governments blanket ban of prisoners voting rights. However, Aboriginal issues were also called into question, as Indigenous Australians are incarcerated at a rate 13 times higher than that of non Indigenous Australians. The case also brought to light serious flaws relating to the system of representative and accountable government.
To begin with, Alan S. Blinder, the author of “Abolishing the Penny Makes Good Sense” argues that pennies should be abolished. He effectivity builds this argument by using plain folks appeal, logos, and bandwagon appeal to support his claim. In addition, the first technique the author uses to argue about abolishing pennies is plain folks appeal. In the text he states “If it’s not worth the time of an 8 year old to wrap pennies, why does the U.S government keep producing the things?”
He leaves his peers, knowing that his eyes will nevermore meet theirs in the sanctity of a classroom. This young boy, only 17 years of age, was fated to live out his life behind a cash register the day that his father was laid off. Instead of feeling the warm embrace of a desk, he only feels the pain in his back after an 11 hour shift. Instead of hearing the hushed chitter chatter of his classmates, all he can hear is the constant orders of customers being barked at him. This young man is my father.
People there have mutilated, starved, poisoned, harmed and have killed themselves from desperation. They have swallowed razor blades and set themselves on fire. They have died from medical neglect. Throughout this, our government ministers have remained callously and pathologically indifferent. They have ignored the advice of the highest medical and legal authorities we have here and overseas.
Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, was known for his conservative economic policies, particularly his stance on inflation. In his 1980 presidential campaign, Reagan proposed a more compelling argument about inflation than his opponent, President Jimmy Carter. Reagan argued that inflation was caused by excessive government spending and a lack of fiscal responsibility. This argument was based on solid economic principles and empirical evidence, which made it more convincing than Carter's approach.
This scandalous coinage, also known as the penny, is a lousy excuse for a currency and should be abandoned. The penny costs the American people precious time and money as they attempt to scour through their purse or wallet just for a 1 cent coin, which is having devastating effects on the economy. The obvious solution to this ordeal is removing the penny and rounding all prices to the nearest nickel. On the other side of the argument, people view this as an opportunity for businesses to charge extra for a product or service that you originally would of although, there is simply no hard defining evidence that this would even occur. With everything considered, the penny is a nuisance to society as a whole, we need to abolish it before it creates
Off with the Head The penny is one of America 's most iconic coins, but yet people toss them once in their possession. Most thoughts about the penny are more negative than positive. Lewis, Mark’s passage (Source A) shows the reason is has not been banned yet. Kahn, Ric’s passage (Source B) explains the penny was only good in its prime, and now is wasting our time.
Justice for Oceania Oceania is a vile dictatorship that severely takes control of the rules and people of the community. Oceania revolves around the control of the prisoner’s thoughts and actions. The people of Oceania are limited in the things they can say or think. “Whether he went on with the diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same.”
When it comes to all 3 men's opinions I find it very clear that some arguments have more reliability than others. Take Andrew Ure's argument for example. Ure was a Scottish doctor and scientist who toured many factory towns and wrote about the positivity that they bring. " I never saw a single instance of corporal chastisement inflicted on a child, nor indeed did I ever see children in ill-humor. They seemed to be always cheerful and alert" On the other hand both James Kay's and Robert Owen's arguments seem reliable.
These camps are overcrowded and underfunded, leading to terrible living conditions for the teenagers. Moreover, the fact that the government can designate someone for unwinding without their consent raises serious ethical concerns about individual rights and government accountability. The lack of government accountability is yet another prominent ethical issue in the novel. The government in the book has the power to designate anyone for unwinding, and there is no clear system of checks and balances to ensure that this power is not abused.
In Australia, the way the RBA applies monetary policy is through the short term interest rate or the cash rate. The RBA very closely controls the cash rate; the Board of the RBA meets on the first Tuesday of every month except January, where the developments of the Australian economy and international economies are analysed. From there decisions are made as to what changes, if any, to the interest rate will be made that month to meet the objectives regarding inflation, unemployment and economic growth. As can be seen in figure 5 below, since 2005, interest rates have been decreasing. Interest rates are decreased when the circular flow has slowed down, to promote spending which leads to an increase in aggregate demand hence speeding it up.
Natural that a government would be against the protection of its citizens because of, the people in charge, is afraid of losing power, prestige, wealth, and
Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.” Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gives all people “the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.” However, the right “may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes.”
accountability ultimately depends on a clear democratic transition. “For a country undergoing a profound transformation, moving from a past of systematic human rights abuses to a democratic future where rights are protected, the pursuit of justice can appear daunting. Members of the old regime and their supporters have had the tables turned; they must now coexist with the new regime and it’s prodemocracy force” (Cardenas 2010). “Central to the human rights problem in democratic transitions is the military regime that is left behind. The concern here is not so much with present and future conditions that would ensure the achievement of human rights as with the imperative to deal with unresolved issues.
Nine of the remaining “Guinea Pigs” have recently enlisted the help of the Irish Government in their appeal to the European Court of Human Rights against the British Government that stress positions, white noise and threats to kill are recognised forms of torture. The case contests that the British Army broke the Human Rights Act when torturing these men. (Gallagher,
