Capital Punishment
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page argumentative paper that argues against the death penalty. Murder is horrendous crime and it is usually a brutal crime. To many people, these facts justify the implementation of capital punishment. If someone murders, the state is seen as justified in taking the life of the murderer. However, the justice of this equation is built upon several assumptions that are problematic. Examination of these assumptions and their implications shows that arguments in favor of capital punishment do not hold up well under scrutiny, which suggests that the conclusion that capital punishment is poor public policy and constitutes an injustice unto itself. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Capital Punishment: Are Men More Supportive Than Women?
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Capital punishment was not only implemented as a painful means of death, but it was also a way of demonstrating one's mistakes in front of the community. It was a grand way in which the guilty not only paid for their crimes by forfeiting their lives, but it also
served as a way to forcible inflict extreme humiliation while they suffered imminent death. The presumption was that those who witnessed such an act of barbaric magnitude would refrain from committing any such crimes themselves. It can easily be argued that the origins of capital
punishment held a triple purpose: to kill the convicted by torturous measures; to maintain order within the community by way of intimidation; and to provide entertainment for the masses. The writer discusses who supports capital punishment in contemporary society and addresses the whether
or not men are more likely to advocate an eye for an eye. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Title VII and definitions by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) include the use of lewd language and posting of lewd materials in public working areas as part of a hostile working environment which occurred on many instances in this case as well as many other offensive acts. In addition to the creation of the hostile work environment, the supervisor in the case was aware and did nothing to correct the situation which holds him and his employer accountable for the creation of a hostile work environment.

Case Commentary: First Amendment Rights
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Constitutional freedoms have long been worthy of both verbal and physical battle; indeed, to interfere with one's inherent constitutional rights is to intrude upon the very essence of American democracy. Nowhere is this more evident than in Village of Skokie v. National Socialist Party of America, where a Nazi demonstration had been purposely planned for this primarily Jewish community of Holocaust survivors as a means by which to test the strength of First Amendment power. Was the town within its rights to refuse such a demonstration? Was the American Nazi Party within its rights to demonstrate with such obviously devious intentions? Clearly, the crux of First Amendment strength is the manner by which content cannot be censored merely because someone does not like what is being said. However, there are instances when words are spoken with the specific intent to illicit a violent response, which is known as the Fighting Words Doctrine; in this case, First Amendment rights do not protect such provocation. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
