Army's Role in the War on Drugs
The document discusses the history and issues surrounding the war on drugs in 3 paragraphs. It begins by tracing the origins of drug prohibition to racist sentiments and class warfare. It then examines the international conflicts caused by poor drug interdiction and the rise of black markets. Finally, it considers domestic solutions like legalization and personal freedom while also exploring social pressures from workplace bans and community action, concluding that the drug war may be an unwinnable fight.
Open Up Those Laws
This document provides a history of libel law in the United States, beginning with seditious libel laws in the 1700s that criminalized criticism of the government. It discusses important court cases like the trial of John Peter Zenger in 1735 and the Sedition Act of 1798. In 1964, the Supreme Court case Times v. Sullivan established that public officials must prove "actual malice" to win a libel suit, protecting free debate. The standard was later extended to public figures as well. This established the modern framework for libel that balances free speech with protection from false statements.
Extortion and The D.C. Madam
The document outlines a deceptive and unethical 7-step process to manipulate politicians into supporting policies they oppose:
1) Make them feel important to inflate their ego. 2) Make them feel protected to lower their guard. 3) Get them to compromise themselves, such as with illegal or embarrassing acts. 4) Document any compromising acts to gain leverage. 5) Leak rumors to create public suspicion. 6) Wait for them to try covering it up and document that. 7) Threaten exposure unless they comply with demands. The goal is to trade away freedoms in exchange for the manipulators' silence.

Freedom of Speech
This document summarizes key Supreme Court cases related to freedom of speech in the United States. It discusses early 20th century cases that upheld convictions for anti-war speech during WWI. It then reviews landmark cases that established doctrines around offensive speech, symbolic speech, sexually explicit speech, and freedom of association.

Dale, that shaped modern understandings of the limits and protections of the First Amendment.
Bbc news report george floyd
George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis, sparking widespread protests across the US. The protests began as peaceful demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice but some turned violent with looting and arson. Police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds, while some cities imposed curfews. The death highlighted ongoing issues of systemic racism and police mistreatment of black communities in America.
Death Penalty
The document discusses the history and legal status of the death penalty in the United States. It notes that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that capital punishment is constitutional if the method is not cruel and the punishment is proportionate to the crime. Two landmark cases, Furman v. Georgia and Gregg v. Georgia, established that the death penalty cannot be imposed arbitrarily but is constitutional if applied fairly. Statistics on the global use of the death penalty are also presented.
Gun Laws
This document discusses gun laws as a complex issue with reasonable arguments on both sides. It notes the debate between gun rights under the 2nd Amendment and efforts to enact gun control to curb violence. The author identifies several sub-issues around this topic, including mass shootings, and poses potential questions for research and debate on both sides of the issue. The document also lists relevant research sources to support an extended exploration of the challenges around developing gun policy.
final presentasi free speech
This document discusses balancing the tort of defamation with freedom of speech. It explores the natural rights tradition of free speech as a right of human nature and republican citizenship. While defamation can infringe on one's right to reputation, the document argues speech should be more strongly protected. It notes there are defenses against defamation torts and that truly free speech must include both external and internal freedom to determine one's thoughts and their expression. The conclusion is that the balance should favor more protection of speech.
Rape Culture
Rape culture is a problem because it normalizes male violence against women and victim blaming. Statistics show that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 10 men in the US are victims of rape, yet 98% of rapists never go to jail and only 32% of rapes are reported. Rape culture has led to the objectification of women becoming normal in society, which is evidenced by common victim-blaming statements. The document calls on people to reflect on how they may contribute to rape culture through sexist jokes or comments and to speak out against the normalization of sexual assault.

This document outlines a presentation on the concept of morality. It discusses morality in the context of the book "Horus Rising" and the real-life example of Lieutenant William Calley and the My Lai massacre. It explores the tensions between individual responsibility, organizational responsibility, and state responsibility for moral actions. While Calley claimed to just be following orders, principles of international law state that individuals cannot use following orders as an excuse and are still responsible for their actions. The document aims to analyze how examples from fiction and reality can influence understandings of morality.
Appeal to force
The document discusses the logical fallacy of appeal to force (also known as argumentum ad baculum), where a person is threatened with unpleasant consequences if they do not agree with the proposition. It provides examples of how this fallacy can be used in politics, such as threats of being seen as unpatriotic or allowing further loss of liberties if one does not support a particular policy or candidate. While threats can be persuasive, the appeal to force fallacy is logically unsound because the truth or falsity of the proposition is unrelated to any threats made against those who disagree.
Human rights
The document discusses several aspects of human rights. It begins by defining some fundamental human rights like the right to life, liberty, security of person and property, and equal protection under the law.

It also mentions that these rights are guaranteed by documents like the Bill of Rights and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document goes on to discuss the Philippines' own tradition of human rights prior to Western influence as exemplified in ancient codes. It also outlines the Armed Forces' position of respecting human rights through disciplined behavior and observance of regulations.

Whistle blowing----Jin Xu
Whistle blowing refers to exposing illegal or unethical activities within an organization. It is a controversial issue that involves balancing loyalty to one's organization with promoting justice. Whistle blowers face risks of retaliation, so some countries have laws to protect them.

Whether a particular act of whistle blowing is right or wrong depends on factors like the motivations and potential consequences.

PO 397 Defining Scandal and Corruption
This document provides an introduction to studying political scandals and defines key concepts. It discusses four reasons for studying scandals: to better understand society, why some events become scandals, the aftermath of inappropriate actions, and effects on society.

Scandals typically involve two stages - the substantive stage where the transgression occurs and a procedural stage of political response. Cultural values influence what qualifies as a scandal.
Whistle blowing , whistle blowers and acts
Whistleblowing refers to revealing wrongdoing within an organization to the public or those in authority.

Natural and Civil Rights
This document summarizes key information about natural rights, civil rights, and rights and responsibilities according to the U.S. Constitution. It discusses natural rights like life, liberty, and property that cannot be taken away versus civil rights like voting, free speech, and religion that are granted by the Constitution and can change over time. It also provides examples of how rights entail corresponding duties to one's community and government. The document then examines several landmark Supreme Court cases that have helped define and shape civil rights protections in the U.S., including freedom of speech, religious establishment, press freedom, and defamation law.
The bill of rights
The document discusses the ratification of the US Constitution and the debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. It notes that 9 of the 13 original states had ratified the Constitution by June 1788, but it would not go into effect until more states ratified. Key figures like James Madison worked to address the concerns of states like New York and Virginia by drafting the Bill of Rights, which consisted of the first 10 amendments protecting individual liberties and limiting federal power.
Recall,Initiative, Referendum2
California allows citizens to directly participate in the legislative process through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. While some argue this makes democracy more direct, others counter that these tools are actually used by wealthy elites and special interest groups to push their agendas. Additionally, many initiatives end up being poorly written or invalidated in court due to the public not having sufficient expertise to craft legislation. Overall, there is debate around whether direct democracy through these processes truly empowers citizens or is susceptible to manipulation.
Civil liberties
The document discusses various topics related to civil liberties and civil rights in the United States, including: key terms like civil liberties and civil rights; the incorporation of the Bill of Rights to apply to states; landmark Supreme Court cases related to freedoms of speech, press, religion and privacy; the development of civil rights for groups like African Americans, women, and other minorities; and contemporary issues like affirmative action and national security laws.
