Yesterday, Sloan Jackson, age 18 was put on trial for stealing a shirt from Famous Fashions in Merchandise Mall. He supposedly ran out of the store with a lump (which was the same color as the stolen shirt) in his jacket to go to Record Mart because there was a big sale going on. He then was found sitting next to the yogurt stand and the shirt was found in a trash barrel near the yogurt stand. He then ran away from the security guard but he was in the end caught and brought back to the store to return the shirt. At the trial yesterday the jury came to a verdict of being guilty after talking in the jury room for about 10 minutes.
Summary of Source The editorial discloses the power that the Court adheres to and whether it should be accountable for the decision making of fugitive slaves. The writer had discussed that in no way did the verdict of the Dred Scott case follow an act of law, but was merely “nullity.” During the settlement, they decided that since Dred Scott’s master had brought him on free land in Missouri or of the United States without having a citizenship, which resulted in him having no case. It continues on to say that the jurisdiction of the case was influenced by opinion, which did not involve any legalities.
This year, Tariji Gordon should have just had her seventh birthday. Instead, the foster family that she lived with and her siblings are mourning the fourth anniversary of her death. Tariji was born on March 6th in 2011, she was murdered, at the age of two, by her mother on February 6, 2014. The mother, Rachel Fryer, gave birth to seven other children other that Tariji. Unfortunately, Tariji was not the only victim of Fryer’s abuse and neglect, and much of this maltreatment, including her death, could have been avoided, had the case been handled and monitored properly.
Celebration of culture for Indigenous Australians is imperative as a tool for defining and conserving their identity. By actively participating in traditional Indigenous culture in the form of games, students from diverse backgrounds can form an awareness and respect for Indigenous culture. The “Puldjungi” ball game instruction sheet could be used as an activity for a physical education lesson for grade five students in Victoria (Australian Sports Commission, 2008). The Puldjungi game would provide students with an example of a game which was played by young Indigenous Australians in Victoria. By partaking in the Puldjungi game, students will learn about an aspect of Indigenous Australian culture in Victoria in a fun and practical way.
Randy Gragg wrote “A High-Security, Low-Risk Investment: Private Prisons Make Crime Pay” Gragg is the architecture and urban design critic for the Oregonian, Portland’s daily newspaper. Gragg has written on wars, visual art, film and performance. Randy has shifted his journalistic focus to writing on the built environment. Beyond reviewing completed projects, he has worked to build a larger constituency for better design by frequently writing about buildings and planning efforts in their generative phases when citizens and officials can still affect them through the public review process.

The Park Doctrine, also called the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine, is a criminal case that failed to comply with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, where violation of company provisions was not met in order to uphold proper standards. Even if the company is unaware of their violations, the violation still stands due to an official appointed the position of making sure all provisions are properly met. (park powerpoint) The Park Doctrine stems from a case back in 1970, when national food chain owner, John Park, was advised by the FDA of their unsanitary conditions including an infestation of rodents in one of their facilities.
1. Provide a paragraph summarizing the key points of Meritor v. Vinson. The Meritor v. Vinson case involved a bank vice president that harassed the plaintiff for several years (Walsh p303). In 1974 Michelle Vinson started working for Meritor Savings Bank as a teller trainer.
One effective technique Goldberger implements is his use of ethos. “Disconnected Urbanism” was originally published in Metropolis magazine ( ). The subscribers to this magazine are typically members of the “architecture and design industry” ( ). In the world of architecture, Paul Goldberger is known for being a Pulitzer Prize winning critic ( ). As a result, Goldberger appeals to the readers of the magazine by being an award-winning author that they can believe.
In Adrian Peterson’s case, I decided that his action did reflect abuse. I began to research more about the details about this case and found that Peterson disciplined his four-year-old child using a tree branch. The hitting with the tree branch did result in multiple bruises and lacerations surrounding the boy’s body. Peterson publicly admitted that he did discipline his son because he pushed his brother while playing video games (Bonesteel, 2016). Abuse is defined as the “knowing, intentional, negligent” harmful punishment given to a child and physical abuse refers to hurting the minor with “objects that leave marks” (Cauffman, 2018).
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868. It granted citizenship to all persons, born or naturalized in the United States. It forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." An example of Supreme Court Case involving the Fourteenth Amendment is Plessy v. Ferguson. Homer Adolph Plessy was a successful Louisiana businessman.
Cynthia Ann Parker’s story is one of the most known incidents in the history of the South. According to the census of 1870 of Anderson County, Cynthia Ann Parker was born someday between June 2, 1824, and May 31, 1825 in Illinois. However, the exact date of her birthday is still uncertain. Cynthia’s parents, Lucy (Duty) and Silas M. Parker decided to move their family to Central Texas in 1836, where they built Fort Parker on the headwaters of the Navasota River, in the territory now known as Limestone County. Essentially, Parker’s story goes back to the beginning of the 1800’s when territorial rivalries still existed between Indian tribes and Americans.
Standardized testing (SATs), in the United States has been present for years and has caused plenty of teachers, students, parents, and other individuals who are informed about it to have different perspectives and opinions on it. Before doing my research on the different opinions people had on standardized tests, I always believed they were encouraged by professors and school facilities. As a student myself and on the behalf of other students, standardized tests were always perceived to be stressful and unjust. Test taking was never a strength of mine especially if the test was timed because it just added more pressure to answer the questions quick. In high school, my teachers never discussed how they felt towards the SATs, which made
SATS and ACTS have been used for numerous years as a way to gauge a student’s academic success while in college. Students have the choice which test they would prefer to take and most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. There are a few key differences between the SAT and ACT, which may make one test more suitable than the other for those taking the tests. Many studies have proven that the SAT and ACT are not the best judge of future success, and that colleges should focus their applications more on past grades and accomplishments to decide which students should be accepted to their university. SATs and ACTs are not an effective measure of college readiness and future academic success.
Professor Spencer’s first proposal seeks a solution to a common complaint of defense counsels: burdensome discovery requests. Spencer argues the reintroduction of the judge into cases in which discovery poses a significant threat would mitigate many of the current problems. In essence, Spencer’s first proposal envisions a return to the pre-1970 Federal Rules of Procedure in these cases.
Utilizing that knowledge in architectural and urban design can guide architecture towards a more humane experience.
