A frivolous lawsuit is a lawsuit that is filed by a party or attorney who is aware they are without merit, because of a lack of supporting legal argument or factual basis for the claims (Legal). Sometimes, this lawsuit is pointed at an entire organization because of an injury or problem caused by something they provide to consumers. Sometimes, they actually win. A number of economic resources that go into these lawsuits, being time and money, is outrageous (Post). There is a multitude of other possibilities that companies could use these resources to better the economy, and even more ways it could better our lives. A frivolous lawsuit takes the exact same amount of time almost any other lawsuit like it would take. The problem with this is that the time spent on it is a waste. According to “Lavelle Law” the amount of time the average lawsuit can take can range from a known, set amount of time, which is usually for a lawsuit worth less than, or up to $10,000, or two to four months if a hard to solve disagreement comes about, and in some cases one and a half to two years to finish. The issue with that is how much time that really is, seeing as two years are spent on a single case for a reason that could have easily been dealt with individually, without the need of government intervention. Along with this is the time spent for a case to be prepared beforehand so it can be presented to a court. According to “Lavelle Law” it is known that smaller lawsuits will not take a large sum…

“ We did not come to fear the future. We came to shape it”(said by Barack Obama). This quote could not fit any better for these two colonies. Both, Jamestown and Plymouth, came to the ‘new world’ to create a better future for themselves as individuals and a society. Of course, both were very different in many ways, from where they landed to who came. What was truly was different, but similar at the same time, was the their encounters in the ‘new world’. The Jamestown colony came over from…

Dhanushkodi was a ghost town and he had nowhere to go. The nearest village was thirty miles away and he was surrounded by wilderness, a death trap. Arthur fell onto the ground, the icy sting of the floor seared his leg and the raindrops shattered on his hard like battle-charged soldiers, clinging onto him with a tormenting, tenacious grip. The thunder of the clouds and the cackle of smothering embers were like a requiem, sealing Arthur’s fate. Arthur staying in the village for a month, dining…

Myrtle and Gatsby have dramatically different personalities--Myrtle is vulgar and garish, while Gatsby is more classy and refined--but as part of the “no money” working-class, Myrtle represents a past that Gatsby, now a member of the nouveau riche, has monetarily transcended. However, as Fitzgerald illustrates, social standing does not necessarily follow wealth. Gatsby grew up poor with nothing but his love for Daisy, who, as a member of the “old money” class, embodies Gatsby’s lust for both…

Poverty is a prevalent issue in society, not having enough to support one’s family and struggling to just survive is universal. What if there was a way to fix that? Dr. Jonathan Swift proposes an interesting idea in his pamphlet A Modest Proposal to satiate the impoverished nation of Ireland during the 18th century. He begins by identifying the problem: the massive population of beggars. These beggars have too many children to feed and not enough money to care for them. Then he moves on to his…

position compared to women and women to depend on men. This was true during the late 19th century Victorian era. Similar to Lucy Westenra as being a Victoria woman, Mina Harker also portrayed as a Victoria woman because of her devotion towards her husband. While Jonathan Harker was trapped in Count Dracula’s castle for numerous months, Mina shows her concerns and worries for him in her diaries; she writes, “No news from Jonathan. I am getting quite uneasy about him, though why I should do not…

In “A Modest Proposal,” Jonathan Swift proposes an absurd solution to poverty in Ireland in 1729. Swift begins the essay by describing his observations of the plight of the poor and how he has thought long and hard about a solution for the widespread poverty. He then proposes his bizarre idea – for the poor to sell their children at one year old – and uses misguided logic to support his proposal. Mimicking the format of a pamphlet proposing an unreasonable solution, Swift parodies the useless…

Taste of Children During the late 1720s, Ireland was a country struggling with poverty; beggars and starving children appeared everywhere. It was a period of economic despair as trade deteriorated and poor harvests brought starvation (“Hang up Half a Dozen Bankers ': attitudes to Bankers in Mid-eighteenth-century Ireland”). The English were also tyrannizing the Irish very strongly. All Ireland’s money was shipped off to England and the English policies kept the Irish poor. During this time,…

Nancy Scheper-Hughes paints a vivid picture of the village folk living in “Ballybran”, once vital, now desolate and isolated by lack of economic opportunity and diminishing population growth. As a psychological anthropologist, she seeks deeper answers, attempting to identify psychological and cultural root causes of anomie and despair in the people living in rural Ireland. She explains multiple reasons for both their anomie and extremely high rates of mental illness which lie in shrinking…
