: HOMELAND SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Canada information sharing Canada is one of the countries that engage in information sharing. Canada is a member of the Five Country Conference (FCC), which allows countries to cooperate and share information between the agencies of border and migration among all the member countries. The member countries include the united states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Canada runs immigration checks based on fingerprints and shares this information with other partners of the FCC through an arrangement for sharing immigration information known as the high-Value Data Sharing protocol (Arbel, & Brenner, 2014). Canada and the united states, under a program of sharing information on visa and immigration, engage in an exchange of biographic data. This agreement was signed in the year 2012 and gave both countries a mutual obligation for sharing both biographic information and also information based on biometrics. An arrangement between Canada and the united states allows both the Canadian citizenship and immigration department and the agency for services of the border to share information with the DHS of…
carbon tax policy Question One Designing and implementing a successful carbon tax policy requires adherence to certain guiding principles to ensure that it covers all the desired emission trading. For effective carbon tax policy, there are specific standards that the design process must meet. First, while designing a carbon tax, it must consider administrative simplicity (Metcalf, 2018). In this case, the entire carbon tax processes must be simple and easy to manage, control, and administer. In its design, the carbon tax should be simple and easy to understand by all the parties involved. The government agency or environmental authority in charge should be able to follow up on the process effectively and efficiently. Secondly, it should be designed in such a way that it is easy to comply with for the taxpayer. For example, the transport and energy firms that emit carbon and are required to pay tax should have a simplified and easy process of payment, favorable terms of compliance, and tax amounts equivalent to their emissions. Further, there should be clarity on who is responsible for collecting and…
R vs. Supreme Court of Canada R vs. Supreme Court of Canada was a case presented to the Supreme Court of Canada on January 18, 2001. The Appellant, Robert Latimer, had been sentenced for life imprisonment without parole eligibility for ten years after he was found guilty of second-degree murder of his daughter, who was suffering from cerebral palsy. There were two main questions that the appellant challenged the Supreme Court. First, was the defense of necessity ignored, leading to an unfair trial? Second, is the compulsory minimum sentence for second-degree murder classified as cruel and unusual punishment in this case? Argument Defense of necessity is when a defendant argues that it was essential to commit a crime. Various factors can make a defense of necessity considered. First, the defendant must have been in immediate danger when committing the crime. Second, committing the crime was the only way out of the issue. Lastly, the harm caused by the defendant must be equal to the harm that he or she was avoiding. Argument B It is not right to let people…

Army Regulation Army Regulation 600-13 provides the following: “The Army’s assignment policy for female soldiers allows women to serve in any officer or enlisted specialty or position except in those specialties, positions, or units which are assigned a routine mission to engage in direct combat.” G.I. Jane, a recent graduate of Virginia Military Institute, has applied for an officer position in a unit that routinely engages in direct combat. Because Jane is female, her application is denied under AR 600-13. Does AR 600-13 violate the Biblical Equality Principle discussed in the course materials?

Objection to the Against Taxation and Imprisonment argument In the argument, taxation is immoral; the character jasmine is a personification of the government’s immoral tax. The idea behind the case is that if two actions A and B have no significant moral difference, then if one is wrong, so is the other. Government taxation is immoral since it is contrary to the consent of the people. In the arguments, jasmine imprisons her neighbors and demands them money to sustain the prisoners. She threatens those who fail to pay at gunpoint and even imprisons them. Also though the actions of jasmine are illegal, they have no difference from the government’s taxation system. In the same way as jasmine, the governments collect taxes legally and imprisons those who fail to pay the fee. Thus, if jasmine actions are immoral, then government taxation is also immoral (Perry et al. 108). In this paper, I critique the arguments that government taxation is immoral. In the first part, I reflect on the discussion of how tax is unethical in the author’s perspective. In the second…
Sync of Experience in White’s Democracy and Luther’s Letter from Birmingham Prison Though EB White and Martin Luther King Jr wrote the letters almost twenty years apart to a distinctive audience, the contents of the messages have multiple shared aspects as far as democracy and doing the right thing is concerned. In Whites letter Democracy addressed to the Writer’s War Board, a Second World Two propaganda channel, the author highlights what real democracy entails and suggests that the board must be insincere in feigning ignorance about not knowing what democracy entails. Again, Martin Luther King Jr in the Letter from Birmingham Jail responds to the clergies who castigated his acts in leading the direct action in Birmingham City in a protest of the harsh, discriminatory, and racist policies against the Negro as he put it. Therefore, King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and White’s Democracy perfectly aligns with democratic issues such as maintaining law and order, accepting the reign of the majority, appreciating the rights of others and their importance, and generally doing the right thing. First, there is a convergent…
Immigration in America Failure of the ‘melting-pot has prompted the revelation of different nationalistic sentiments among our awesome outsider populace has come to a great many people as a serious stun. It has drawn out the unpalatable irregularities of our conventional convictions We have needed to observe coldblooded old Brahmins idealistically resentful at the display of the migrant declining to be dissolved, while they scoff at nationalists like Mary Antin who expound on ‘our progenitors.’ Whatever American nationalism ends up being, it is sure to end up something not quite the same as the nationalism of twentieth-century Europe. This flood of reactionary excitement to play the conventional nationalistic amusement which is disregarding the nation is hardly sufficiently fundamental to last. We can’t swagger and excited to a similar national self-feeling. We should give new edges to our pride. We should be substance to maintain a strategic distance from the unnumbered hardships that national patriotism has acquired Europe, and that furiously elevated pride and reluctance. The disappointment of the melting point, a long way from shutting the colossal American law based…
