¶ … age should the law regard an individual as an adult with regard to access to abortion?
The topic of abortion is special and often sparks heated discussion because, at the heart of the issue, lies the death of life in one form or another. While it does not seem fair to simply erase a mistake of this proportion, this practice is celebrated and well funded where it is accepted. Complicating the situation, and causing moral dilemmas, is allowing abortion in saving the pregnant mother from death. Adler, Ozer & Tschann (2003) pointed out that in many countries, abortion is illegal and America is in the minority of countries of where it is permitted. However within America, different states also vary their laws in adolescent abortion leading...
If the life, or even potential life, of an unborn child may be forsaken, the age of its benefactor should not matter either. Arnett (2000) excused moral behavior because of age. This legal distinction between ages, while beneficial in some cases, argues against the case for younger mothers from aborting their children by unjustly creating different moral applications for different members of the same environment. The issue of parental…
At what age should the law regard an individual as an adult with regard to the death penalty?
Steinberg, Cauffman, Woolard, Graham & Banich (2009) confused the argument of when to apply age-applicable law. Their statistical data does not add any significant weight in applying morals as to how old one must be to receive a government sponsored death. Psychological arguments aside, killing each other, no matter for what or done by whom, seems to be an unenlightened, unevloved position of experiencing life.
In reading Segal & Spaeth's (1996) accounts of stare decisis, I began to notice the similarities in religious dogma and judicial law. Killing people just because it was done in the past, and while it may have seemed justified, should not be the encouragement society calls upon for peace and truth. The age should not matter in the death penalty because the life of one subjected to death by the government is tragic and wasteful of the potential energy forgiveness and goodwill has to offer.
It was after a lot of concern expressed in this matter and after a long legal and judicial consideration that the legislature passed the act. Legal Enforcement The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the authority that enforces the legislation on age discrimination namely the 'Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 - ADEA'. This act is designed to protect individuals who are about forty or above years of age the
Under the provisions of Title VII, all employers involved in interstate commerce with more than 15 employees are prohibited from discriminating against their employees on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Title VII makes it illegal for employers and labor unions to discriminate in relation to hiring, discharging, compensating, or in providing the terms, the conditions, and privileges of employment. Actions pursued under Title VII are
Law and justice across the ages of artistic representation -- a fair system of justice means nothing when ice water, corruption, and evil run through the hearts of those appointed to enforce the system The 1980's crime novel Gorky Park, Shakespeare's 'problem' play "Measure for Measure," Marx and Engels political manifesto "The Communist Manifesto," and the World War II Warner Brothers motion picture "Casablanca" all fundamentally ask, at their respective

Age of Traffic Speeders General Problem Area This research proposal is designed to find out the relationship between speeding in a motor vehicle, and the age of the speeder. There are many variables that make up the sum total of a traffic accident, and one of those is whether or not any or all of the vehicles were speeding at the time the accident occurred (Vinluan, 2008). The proposal here will not
Law Enforcement and Hiring Laws Types of Policing Community policing primarily consists of law enforcement through police patrol and presence. Problem oriented policing is very similar to community policing, except that instead of merely patrols actions are directed to address a specific problem. A problem oriented policing response is exemplified by increased patrols at problem traffic intersections or enforcement of pedestrian crossing from speeding traffic. Problem oriented policing is noted to have
