Legal evaluation Assignment The fact that the law is a double-edged sword does not mitigate or provide for lenient actions to be taken in case of acts of omission or commission committed by relatives. The only remedying factor, in this case, is to either apply alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (ADRM) or result in due process of the law. Nevertheless, if it leads to a court process, lodging of a lawsuit in a civil court would apply, where civil litigation would be conducted to prove the innocence of the mother. I have decided to sue my mother for the injuries caused. The decision of whether to sue or not to sue my mother is dependent on certain variant factors. By dint that she has refused to settle my hospital dues of 4000 dollars, even after been the main perpetrator of the accident creates in me emotional instability. The fact that I’m unable to raise the hospital fees leaves me no choice but to request the same from the court of law. However, if we would settle the dispute through an alternative…

A considerable number of them fall in more than one category; however, it depends on the law governing the nation and, at times, the perception of individuals. The widely employed categories of these rights are civil rights, natural rights, and human rights. The write-up will, therefore, review a newspaper article that revolves around one of the people’s rights, and subsequently highlight whether the discussed right can act as a presentation topic in a history class. Question 1 Johnson, Kirk. “Court Defines Tenant Right as ‘Property’.” The New York Times, 8 Mar. 1987, p. 7. Question 2 The article by Johnson highlights the commencement of legal law in the 1980s, whereby prosecutors believed that an apartment leased by a tenant, although intangible, it is his property. It was seconded by the courts and the district attorneys, with their argument being, leasing transfers the exclusive and sole rights of the premise from the landlord to the tenant, and the interest constitutes a property whether transferred or not. According to…

Recently, he found out that his colleagues received higher pay than he did, even though they have the same experience and qualifications. Also, Kenan has been dedicated to the work and works just as hard as the rest. Upon asking the manager about it, he was told that it was because he does not carry as much weight as the rest.

emergency contraceptive pill An emergency contraceptive pill is a form of birth control pill that a woman may use to reduce the chances of getting pregnant after having unprotected sexual intercourse. How does this method work? The pill prevents pregnancy by delaying or stopping the release of an egg from a woman’s ovaries until the sperms become inactive. The medicine does this by altering the way the sperm moves in a woman’s body, thus preventing the sperm from fertilizing an egg (Matyanga et al., 2018). However, this cannot work if the egg has already been fertilized. What has to be done by the client to use the method?

Moreover, if one vomits within three hours after taking the pill, she will need to take another pill. What is the actual (real-world) efficacy of this method? The contraceptive pill is usually used in a specific situation and therefore,…

Resegregation The best way to ensure an equal offer of opportunities has been to form integrated suburban areas. Racially diverse areas have been observed to avail education and economic opportunities equally to all the races. However, integrated areas have not stayed integrated for long. This has been predominantly due to illegal discrimination perpetrated by real estate agents who steer house allocations, mortgage lending skewered in favor of the whites, and the racial manipulation of school attendance boundaries (AM). Neighborhoods with their core population made of nonwhites, especially if it has been that way for a long time, are usually isolated from both good education and economic opportunities. Nonwhite suburbs experience tax base challenges occasioned by a low tax base that results from the ongoing social change. This is because these suburbs are not sufficiently equipped to deal with socio-economic transition. Resegregation in integrated suburbs is caused by several factors, but it has been mainly attributed to the inability of whites and nonwhites to coexist due to the influence of past and present discrimination practices. Nonwhites may feel uncomfortable living near…

 anti-discrimination acts Discrimination is the unjust treatment that one, for example, an employee receives, which mostly is based on sex, race or gender. Flora, who was looking forward to working as a sales specialist, was asked to take a test, and it was not rightfully correct. This is because salespersons’ skills and knowledge are not tested in the math and general aptitude tests that she was given. Her failing the tests led to disqualification for the position, thus treated as discrimination as she could have been given a chance to showcase her skills on selling rather than being given other types of tests. Title VII allows a test to be used during selection. Still, it should not be used based on discriminating against others based on gender, race, religion or culture. It feels like Flora wasn’t supposed to be given the test as they do not apply to the job she was being interviewed for (Campisi, 2019). The tests should be administered to the right internees in that according to the position one has asked for. Not all posts need…
