Gun Control How would you feel if the Government took away your guns and made stricter gun laws? Stricter gun laws wouldn’t accomplish anything, they would not solve the issue at hand. Guns don’t commit crimes, the person who is holding the gun commits a crime. More gun control laws are already in place and they should not take guns away from law-abiding citizens who carry for self defense. A lot of people think that taking away guns will make it impossible for a criminal to get and gun and…

Laws Regulating Abortion I believe that abortion has played an important role in changing political, human rights and the overall social environment in American society. Due to the case of Roe v. Wade abortion in the United States is legal. Abortion would be illegal within the first two trimesters if Roe would have been upended by the United States Supreme court. Abortion is legal, but it can be restricted by different states to a certain degree. To a certain degree the legal reform has helped…

Is Breaking The Law Justified? In everyday life, we tend to disagree with some things and do not want to do them just because everyone else is. In Sophocles’ Greek tragedy, Antigone, the tragic heroine is Antigone herself. She is a scrawny, sallow, withdrawn, and recalcitrant brat. In the play, civil disobedience is shown when Antigone decided to bury his brother, Polynices, even when it was against Creon’s law. Creon gave strict orders against the burial of Polynices because he had led a failed…

The prompt for King’s letter goal is to compare and contrast Letter from a Birmingham Jail and Handbook of Epictetus. One section of King’s letter dealt with the issue of just and unjust laws and how direct action would effect the outcome. King and Epictetus had two different ways of dealing with unjust laws and the effect of them on an individual person. Their thoughts are similar but not similar enough that one could come to the conclusion that they would both agree. Even though they would not…

principle cause of unjust occidental laws is the ingenuousness of the legislator. As it was mentioned in the previous section, Christian lawyers tend towards divinizing law. If in some cases the public is angered due to an unjust verdict, those lawyers would say that the public is not aware of the complexity and intricacy of law. Laws are there for humans, and not the other way around; if this already applies to divine law, how much more should it apply to human law? If the public is angered,…

gods law is beyond men laws, and that since she is a mortal, she will die anyway so she rather die to bury her brother than live in suffering. Antigone's tone shows that she have determination and strong reasons for why she chose to bury Polyneices, her brother. Creon means that Antigone is both breaking the law and is talking with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about it without any fear. Antigone is only guilty of breaking Creon's law to bury her brother, Polyneices, although this law…

prohibited. This is an exceptionally important law because it ensures the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals living in my society. In simpler terms, this law means no discrimination of any kind will be tolerated. This law will be enforced on anyone who intentionally harms an individual’s religious and cultural beliefs in a mocking, disrespectful way. This law will also fall into action if someone abuses a sacred item. In certain circumstances this law can also be used if someone…

As John Adams puts it, the Framers of the Constitution intended for the United States to be a “government of laws and not of men” (Diarmuid). The Rule of Law requires that “all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself,” should remain liable to natural laws, basic human rights, and laws established by Congress, executed by the President, and reviewed by the Courts (Friedersdorf). It is important as a society to educate ourselves about our fundamental…

The Broken Laws Laws and rules are always broken. When they are broken, they can end with consequences ranging from small to major. Harry and Carry, a newly married couple, break a suddenly given law in a small town in Maryland in 2092. Finding out that a major consequence will be dealt with, is not fun. A married couple named Harry and Carry were going out to the store on Monday, the only day to go shopping, when a new law came over the phone. As they were not at the house, Harry and Carry…

Most people in the world would agree that gun laws are becoming increasingly stricter. Gun laws are put into place to increase the level of protection and safety in community life. As the gun laws become stricter in New York State, more and more people are becoming angered by them. What most people do not realize is that “More than 60 percent of people in this country who die from guns die by suicide” (Sanger). Growing up in Western New York, many households own at least one gun. I grew up…
