Up until the 1960s, the U.S. Courts took a “hands-off policy” with respect to offender rights, as most judges subscribed to the belief that prisoners did not have individual rights. Since that time, major reforms have been instituted which afford individuals under correctional supervision four foundations that support their legal rights – constitutions, statutes, case law, and regulations. For this discussion: Explain the courts’ “hands-off policy” and its impact on prisoners Give examples of how the 4 types of law mentioned above help support offenders’ rights Decide and discuss whether or not you think prisoners should have constitutional rights, and if so, which ones.

List, and discuss 5 specific ways in which Cesare Beccaria’s work .docx
List, and discuss 5 specific ways in which Cesare Beccaria’s work in Essays on Crimes and Punishment (1764) is still relevant to how offenders are treated in the criminal justice system today.
Assignment Guidelines:
· Research Cesare Beccaria, his contributions to penology, and his influence on modern corrections.
· In 4–6 paragraphs, address the following:
· List and explain 5 ways that his work is still relevant to corrections, criminal justice, and the treatment of offenders today.
· Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
The classical view of punishment was fueled by the notion that offenders were evil men and women who had to be punished severely or killed for their egregious acts. It was felt that the demons that possessed the offenders would never leave except by expiation and punishment.
As the influence of natural and social science grew, many individuals began to reexamine the widely accepted idea that crime resulted from demonic possession, free will, or mental imbalance. Positivists took a progressive stance and began to analyze the causes of crime and punishment.
Prepare an essay (3–4 pages) on the differences between the classical and positivist approaches to punishment.
Assignment Guidelines:
· Use your course materials, the textbook, the Web resources, and the library to research the classical and positivist approaches to punishment.
· In a Word document of 3–4 pages, address the following:
· Identify 2 specific differences and 2 similarities between each perspective as it relates to punishment.
· Examine 2 of the social arguments used to support both schools of thought.
· Out of the 2 schools of thought, which do you agree with most?
· Include 3 philosophical or social issues that could be used to support either model.
· Reference all sources using APA style.
Out of all of the Constitutional Amendments, the First Amendment truly embodies the foundation of the American way of life and is valued highly by American society. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes expressed the belief of many that free speech is essential for competition and the search for the truth. Freedom of speech is important to the United States because it allows for the evaluation and challenge of governmental abuses of power.
Research the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and explain its major provisions and which ones are of significance to prisoners.
Assignment Guidelines:
· Using your course materials, textbook, and Web resources, research the provisions of the First Amendment.

Unit 6 Assignment Death Penalty Retributivist v. Utilitarian Theor.docx
Unit 6 Assignment: Death Penalty: Retributivist v. Utilitarian Theories
In this assignment, imagine that your state legislature is considering repealing its death penalty and the legislators wish to hear the opinions of the top legal philosophers on both sides of the death penalty debate - imagine yourself as a modern day Jeremy Bentham and present three utilitarian arguments against the death penalty and therefore in favor of its repeal. Then, step into the shoes of a modern day Immanuel Kant and present to the legislature three retributivist arguments in favor of the death penalty and therefore, in opposition to its repeal. For each side of the debate, present each argument in detail, using headings and subheadings to keep your paper well-organized so that it will serve as a useful resource for your state legislators to be able to clearly grasp the key arguments on both sides. Include at least two examples to illustrate the arguments on each side.
In addition, the state legislators would like to hear your assessment of which theory of punishment, utilitarian or retributivist, you find most persuasive. Compare the persuasiveness of the two theories and provide a recommendation of which theory the legislators should follow (utilitarian for repeal of the state’s death penalty or retributivist for retention of the state’s death penalty).
Supplement your discussion with material from at least two sources other than the textbook (Chapter 4 of the Murphy textbook is an excellent starting point). Be sure to cite your sources in APA format, using in-text citations and references.
In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the Assignment, a successful paper must also meet the following criteria:
Length of the paper should be 750 - 1,000 words, excluding cover page and references.
Viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained.
Assignment should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.).
Writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful.
Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics.
Appropriate citation style should be followed.

Assignment Evaluate the equity of due process in the United Sta.docx
Assignment: Evaluate the equity of due process in the United States.
Instructions
The United States judicial systems are based on the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing due process of the law. All court officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, public defenders, and judges are bound to an oath of office and the code of ethics to obey to the law. Everybody is equal in front of the law. Is this statement still valid?
Create a critical analysis based on the following statements:
The prosecutor evaluates the evidence and facts of a case and decides to prosecute or to
nolle prosequi
the criminal cases. Explain how the “the desire to win” can lead a prosecutor to pursue a case that should be dropped? Provide an example to strengthen your argument.
Most minority offenders are indigent and can’t afford a private defense attorney. Therefore, the court will assign a public defender to represent the defendant. The public defender maintains a heavy workload with minimum budgets.
Does the public defender behave ethically when he or she is pushing plea bargains in most cases or is plea bargaining a violation of a defendant’s rights to due process?
In the prisons and jails, minorities represent most of the population.
Determine if sentencing decisions discriminate against certain groups.
Determine if more whites are sentenced to probation versus minorities, even when they commit the same crime. Support your answer with statistical information.
Indicate if those sentences are unethical, and then determine what can be done to minimize discrimination.
Most of the sentences are retributive, resulting in incarceration. Consider the three ethical frameworks for punishment: 1) utilitarianism, 2) deontology, and 3) peacemaking.
Which framework should serve as the ethical framework for punishment today? Support your decision with an example.
Length: 8 pages
References: Include a minimum of fifteen scholarly resources.
Your essay should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.

Ambiguous Constitutional LanguageThe First, Third, Fourth, and Fif.docx
Ambiguous Constitutional Language
The First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments
imply
the right to privacy through the freedom of religion and the protections against mandatory housing of soldiers, unlawful searches and seizures, and self-incrimination. However, nowhere in the Constitution does the word “privacy” exist. Since the language of the Constitution related to the privacy rights and other rights
—
such as the right to bear arms
—
often is ambiguous, it leads to one of the most fundamental tenets of democracy: discourse. This ambiguity leaves room for interpretation and according to some legal scholars gives way to the belief that the Constitution is a living document that reshapes itself to suit the changing times. While Supreme Court Justices have the power to decipher and give meaning to the ambiguous language, the implications on policy can be both positive and negative.
To prepare for this Discussion
:
Review the article “Disentangling the Fourth Amendment and the Self-Incrimination Clause.” Consider how the courts’ interpretation of the ambiguous overlapping of the Fourth Amendment and the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment influences policymaking.
Review the U.S. Supreme Court Cases
District of Columbia
v. Heller
and
Grutter v. Bollinger
in the LexisNexis Academic database. Consider the impact of the Court’s constitutional interpretation in these cases.
Reflect on the strengths and limitations of the Supreme Court making policy by interpreting ambiguous constitutional language.
With these thoughts in mind
:
Post by Day 3
at least two strengths and two limitations related to the Supreme Court making policy by interpreting ambiguous constitutional language. Be specific and justify your response.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning
Resources.
Judicial Philosophy and Establishment of Rights
In the
Declaration of Independence
, Thomas Jefferson defined inalienable rights as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although this statement is very vague and unclear as to what liberty and the pursuit of happiness entail, it provides rights to all citizens of the United States. Ambiguous language is used throughout the Constitution, which makes its interpretation a daunting task for Supreme Court Justices ruling on controversial cases.
There are two schools of thought for interpreting the U.S. Constitution: Originalism and Living Document Philosophy. Justice Antonin Scalia favors Originalism, which means the Constitution’s interpretation should pertain to the original intent of the document. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg favors Living Document Philosophy, which leaves the interpretation up to the changing moral, political, and cultural climate of the times.
Out of respect for the legacy of the founding fathers and the central identity of U.S. democracy, the Constitution will never undergo revision, but rather, can be amended. Originalists do not want an am.

Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror
The final assignment for this course is a Final Paper. The purpose of the Final Paper is to give you an opportunity to apply much of what you have learned about American national government to an examination of civil liberties in the context of the war on terror. The Final Paper represents 20% of the overall course grade.
Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating captured prisoners. They were sent to a prison inside a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at Gitmo. Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer Gitmo prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at Gitmo (Sutton, 2012).
An assumption made by the Bush administration in selecting this location was that it was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The administration wanted to avoid any judicial oversight of how it handled detainees, characterized as enemy combatants. A possible legal challenge to indefinite detention with no formal charges or judicial proceedings might arise from the habeas corpus provision of the Constitution.
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Under this provision, persons detained by the government are entitled to a judicial hearing to determine if there is any legal basis for their detention. Some legal commentators refer to the right of habeas corpus as the "great writ of liberty" because it is a prisoner's ultimate recourse to an impartial judge who can review the possibility that he is being held illegally by the executive (e.g., the police o.
HowJudgesDontThink
This document summarizes an article that examines how precedent is created and applied by courts over time through a close study of 200 Illinois cases from 1876 to 1985 regarding antagonistic defenses. The article finds that precedent was unintentionally distorted through a process where words were taken out of context by lawyers, injected into case law by courts, and then repeated by later courts who lost the original meaning. This process questions whether the judicial system can truly be said to be based on precedent and stare decisis. The document also reviews the ongoing debate between traditional legal scholars and political scientists over the degree to which judicial decisions are influenced by legal factors versus extra-legal influences like ideology.

In nations that do not honor habeas corpus, people simply disappear into prisons without ever having their day in court.
Several controversial Supreme Court cases have come out of Gitmo. One fundamental question that has been debated, but not clearly resolved, is to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's indefinite detention of enemy combatants without the possibility of the minimal judicial review protected by habeas corpus? Another issue in the debate is to what extent Congress must clearly authorize the President to conduct extra-judicial detentions in order for them to be legal? In 2008, the Supreme Court’s decision in
Boumediene v. Bush
offered some answers to these questions. However, the deeply divided 5-4 Court and the likelihood of the protracted nature of the war on terror suggest that debate around these important questions will continue. Writing the Fi.

This document provides a summary and analysis of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.'s famous essay "The Path of the Law". It discusses how Holmes defined law as simply predicting how cases might be decided, and illustrated this view through the metaphor of a "bad man" who is only interested in avoiding legal penalties. However, the document argues this view has led to problems over time, and promotes a view of contextual ethical reasoning and lawyers as stewards instead of amoral facilitators, as embodied in the original Canons of Professional Ethics. It discusses how several scandals showed self-regulation was insufficient and federal regulation has increased as a result.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government.
We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .

Assignment Evaluate the equity of due process in the United Sta.docx
Assignment: Evaluate the equity of due process in the United States.
Instructions
The United States judicial systems are based on the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing due process of the law. All court officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, public defenders, and judges are bound to an oath of office and the code of ethics to obey to the law. Everybody is equal in front of the law. Is this statement still valid?
Create a critical analysis based on the following statements:
The prosecutor evaluates the evidence and facts of a case and decides to prosecute or to
nolle prosequi
the criminal cases. Explain how the “the desire to win” can lead a prosecutor to pursue a case that should be dropped? Provide an example to strengthen your argument.
Most minority offenders are indigent and can’t afford a private defense attorney. Therefore, the court will assign a public defender to represent the defendant. The public defender maintains a heavy workload with minimum budgets.
Does the public defender behave ethically when he or she is pushing plea bargains in most cases or is plea bargaining a violation of a defendant’s rights to due process?
In the prisons and jails, minorities represent most of the population.
Determine if sentencing decisions discriminate against certain groups.
Determine if more whites are sentenced to probation versus minorities, even when they commit the same crime. Support your answer with statistical information.
Indicate if those sentences are unethical, and then determine what can be done to minimize discrimination.
Most of the sentences are retributive, resulting in incarceration. Consider the three ethical frameworks for punishment: 1) utilitarianism, 2) deontology, and 3) peacemaking.
Which framework should serve as the ethical framework for punishment today? Support your decision with an example.
Length: 8 pages
References: Include a minimum of fifteen scholarly resources.
Your essay should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.

Ambiguous Constitutional Language
The First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments
imply
the right to privacy through the freedom of religion and the protections against mandatory housing of soldiers, unlawful searches and seizures, and self-incrimination. However, nowhere in the Constitution does the word “privacy” exist. Since the language of the Constitution related to the privacy rights and other rights

such as the right to bear arms

often is ambiguous, it leads to one of the most fundamental tenets of democracy: discourse. This ambiguity leaves room for interpretation and according to some legal scholars gives way to the belief that the Constitution is a living document that reshapes itself to suit the changing times. While Supreme Court Justices have the power to decipher and give meaning to the ambiguous language, the implications on policy can be both positive and negative.
To prepare for this Discussion

Review the article “Disentangling the Fourth Amendment and the Self-Incrimination Clause.” Consider how the courts’ interpretation of the ambiguous overlapping of the Fourth Amendment and the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment influences policymaking.

Judicial Philosophy and Establishment of Rights
In the
Declaration of Independence
, Thomas Jefferson defined inalienable rights as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although this statement is very vague and unclear as to what liberty and the pursuit of happiness entail, it provides rights to all citizens of the United States. Ambiguous language is used throughout the Constitution, which makes its interpretation a daunting task for Supreme Court Justices ruling on controversial cases.
There are two schools of thought for interpreting the U.S. Constitution: Originalism and Living Document Philosophy. Justice Antonin Scalia favors Originalism, which means the Constitution’s interpretation should pertain to the original intent of the document. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg favors Living Document Philosophy, which leaves the interpretation up to the changing moral, political, and cultural climate of the times.
Out of respect for the legacy of the founding fathers and the central identity of U.S. democracy, the Constitution will never undergo revision, but rather, can be amended. Originalists do not want an am.

Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror
The final assignment for this course is a Final Paper. The purpose of the Final Paper is to give you an opportunity to apply much of what you have learned about American national government to an examination of civil liberties in the context of the war on terror. The Final Paper represents 20% of the overall course grade.
Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating captured prisoners. They were sent to a prison inside a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at Gitmo. Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer Gitmo prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at Gitmo (Sutton, 2012).
An assumption made by the Bush administration in selecting this location was that it was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The administration wanted to avoid any judicial oversight of how it handled detainees, characterized as enemy combatants. A possible legal challenge to indefinite detention with no formal charges or judicial proceedings might arise from the habeas corpus provision of the Constitution.
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Under this provision, persons detained by the government are entitled to a judicial hearing to determine if there is any legal basis for their detention. Some legal commentators refer to the right of habeas corpus as the "great writ of liberty" because it is a prisoner's ultimate recourse to an impartial judge who can review the possibility that he is being held illegally by the executive (e.g., the police o.
HowJudgesDontThink
This document summarizes an article that examines how precedent is created and applied by courts over time through a close study of 200 Illinois cases from 1876 to 1985 regarding antagonistic defenses. The article finds that precedent was unintentionally distorted through a process where words were taken out of context by lawyers, injected into case law by courts, and then repeated by later courts who lost the original meaning. This process questions whether the judicial system can truly be said to be based on precedent and stare decisis. The document also reviews the ongoing debate between traditional legal scholars and political scientists over the degree to which judicial decisions are influenced by legal factors versus extra-legal influences like ideology.

In nations that do not honor habeas corpus, people simply disappear into prisons without ever having their day in court.
Several controversial Supreme Court cases have come out of Gitmo. One fundamental question that has been debated, but not clearly resolved, is to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's indefinite detention of enemy combatants without the possibility of the minimal judicial review protected by habeas corpus? Another issue in the debate is to what extent Congress must clearly authorize the President to conduct extra-judicial detentions in order for them to be legal? In 2008, the Supreme Court’s decision in
Boumediene v. Bush
offered some answers to these questions. However, the deeply divided 5-4 Court and the likelihood of the protracted nature of the war on terror suggest that debate around these important questions will continue. Writing the Fi.

This document provides a summary and analysis of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.'s famous essay "The Path of the Law". It discusses how Holmes defined law as simply predicting how cases might be decided, and illustrated this view through the metaphor of a "bad man" who is only interested in avoiding legal penalties. However, the document argues this view has led to problems over time, and promotes a view of contextual ethical reasoning and lawyers as stewards instead of amoral facilitators, as embodied in the original Canons of Professional Ethics. It discusses how several scandals showed self-regulation was insufficient and federal regulation has increased as a result.

1. IntroductionWritten and Narrated by Professor Deni ElliottThe.docx
1. Introduction
Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott
There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU.
Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life.
Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves.
Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good."
Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall?
If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners.
Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government.
We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .
1. IntroductionThe objective of this video is to introduce studen.docx
1. Introduction:
The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced.
The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct.
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed.
According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc.
Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
