On the case of R. v. Noway, the court renders Noway not-guilty of the charges put forth on him which is the violation of the known and enacted criminal law 253 - operation of a motor vehicle while impaired. Criminal law seeks to provide justice to society. To be charged with a criminal offense, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has been committed. This ‘burden of proof’ precedent was established in R. v. Oaks case which enacted that, all elements of the criminal code must be met including the mental intention; in order for the courts to exercise their authority and punish an accused person. Moreover, the rule of law [(1) that the laws are known and enacted, (2) government action is authorized by law and (3) everyone is bound by the law] also renders laws to avoid arbitrariness so that it is clear when a person is in violation of the criminal code.

Life-alternating decisions are often judged by others, but one can not dictate another's life as they do not have to live it.

The short story, “The Boat'' by Allistair Macleod shows the traditional roles carried out from generation to generation setting expectations for individuals. It's further shown, by the protagonist's father, the willingness to self-sacrifice increases as the next generation prepares to fulfill their traditional roles.
Explain the legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol? Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol not only puts you in danger of a road accident, but also endangers other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Alcohol impairs your perception of the environment around you, which can cause serious accidents and is subject to many legal consequences. For new drivers with their G1 or G2, or anyone under the age of 21, absolutely no alcohol is allowed in their system while driving. If caught driving under the influence, their license will be suspended automatically for 24 hours, and if convicted, may be fined up to $500, have your license suspended again, and potentially face jail time.
“The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane features a small dinghy holding four men are stranded at sea, fighting off the ocean’s treacherous obstacles near the coast of Florida. In the midst of chaos and fear, the men soon realize that they are unable to reach safety, which results in the belief Nature is defying them. In this story, several themes may be perceived, including these: mankind versus Nature, forming brotherhood in time of helplessness, and humankind’s meaninglessness to the universe and its irrelevance to fate and Nature, which are demonstrated through symbolism, a commonly used device that provides a deeper meaning to objects or ideas past a literal sense. While there are several possible themes in “The Open Boat”, the most prominent theme is humankind’s irrelevance in the eyes of fate and nature, which is exhibited with symbolism by several means, including the boat that signifies life, the waves that signify an uncaring Nature and fate, and the repetitive poem that signifies Nature and fate are taunting and merciless.
Americans know the dangers of getting behind the wheel while intoxicated. When alcohol enters the human body it impairs your judgement.

However, “90% of drunk driving deaths in the United States were found in the over 21 age group” (Gruenewald). For this reason, drunk driving is not directly correlated with the drinking age. In addition, the percent of drunk driving deaths in the United States has reduced at a slower rate than European countries where they have their legal drinking age at eighteen. This suggest that if lowering the drinking age was a success in Europe, it may also be effective here in the United States to diminish the amount of drunk driving deaths. This is because people that become injured due to alcohol or alcohol poisoning are afraid to report their injuries to the hospital or authorities out of fear of illegal consequences for underage drinking.
The literary work that I would like to analyze is The Drunken Boat by Arthur Rimbaud. Arthur Rimbaud was classified as a symbolist, which signifies that the period of his work is associated with the Symbolism literary movement. When this movement came about in the nineteenth century, the Symbolists manipulated the previous literary movement of Romanticism into a new movement that brought together intensely evocative images that were not necessarily related by any external logic. (Puchner 576-577) When creating pieces of literature, Symbolists sought to blur the boundaries between real and imaginary. (Puchner 577) Symbolism was movement that brought meaning to ideas, images, emotions, and other tangible and intangible factors, based of the human
If there are people on the boat who feel guilty for those in the water, their option is to give up their spot for someone or stay on the boat. If they want to help the poor, they should give up their seat and take their spot in the water. If the people on the boat take all the poor in, the entire boat will sink and then everyone would die unlike the other option and at least saving a few people. This is like the hypothetical dilemma or given the scenario of killing one person or five, most people would choose to kill only one person.
