Kent vs. US

1.) The victim was tried with 6 counts of breaking in entering and robbery, and two accounts of rape.
2.) The victim was tried, but becasue of young age, he was only 16, he couldn't be tried again until he was 21. He was examined by two psychiatrists and a psychologist. They confirmed that he could rehibilitate. The judge did not favor in his way, the victim was set fro trial.
3.) In each step, they did certain investigations to decide in what they should do. In the end, it just cruised through the courts.
4.) Because it was a very serious case, and the victim was only 16 years of age. It was a civil case as well.
5.) He wasn't placed in a jail with adults, he was placed under the care of his parents.
6.) I think it has a big impact. It gives caution to what the consiquences are to younger peoples's actions. I believe that this affects the younger generation more, but then again, also, the older generation, so they can prepare and take better care of their children.
7.) I do believe that this was an important case because it shows us the importance of consiquence. I don't nessisarily agree with the court orders. I do believe he should have been trialed as an adult. The crimes that he was admitted for were very serious.

1.) I think it's great! I feel that a lot of poeple will not feel the same way, especially older people.
2.) I believe that it will do both, hinder and help. It will help because it will encourage younger people to vote. I think it will hinder it, because she is not very experienced. How does she know the right?
Issues
1.) For the first one I would choose cost of colleges. If I was Sara, just getting out of college, I would address this because I would know a lot about this problem. She would be able to address this issue from a personal view.
2.) Abortion would be my second issue to address. I believe that this is a big issue in younger women. Abortion is usuallly something that happens because that person is too younger, or not able to support their child. Abortion shouldn't be the result in this issue. There are very many other methods you can use such as adoption, and other parenthood methods.
3.) Death Penalty, would be my third. I do not have a personal experience towards this issue but I have certain beliefs. I don't believe that this should legal. There should be punishments, yes, but not this intent. I don't believe that anyone should be allowed to take another's life. This shouldn't be legal, in my eyes. I think it's sinful.
4.) Education reform, will be my fourth choice. There are many things that I would do to improve the education systems. I believe that the biggest problem, mainly in my school, is punishment. Punishment, in my school, isn't a punishment. It's more like free time. I believe that every school should have a detention teacher. I believe there should be rules, enforced from the beginning and kept-up, not at first and slowly giving lead way.
5.) Natural recourses, will be my final choice. I choose this for my last decision, because I believe that we are very unconsiderate of our recourses. I think we need to be more preservative. I believe that we should come up with new ways to be more efficient and conservative!
I believe that I would be a memeber of the

Elections are important because it gives the people a voice in who they want to represent our county.
I think it is important to vote, because every vote counts.

execution

1.) I'm not sure how I feel about this. I feel like no ones life should be taken, even though he did kill three people.
2.) Again, I am not quite sure because I do believe it is wrong to kill someone, even if someone does believe that that certain person shpuld be killed.

50 Crazy rules

Honestly, the feeling I have after reading these rules is humor. They are silly and there is no point in having these rules. Most of the rules that are abolished in these states are legal in the state of West Virginia, which I am proud to say. We have no issues with these rules, so why should they be abolished in other states?

pros and cons

1.) They are seeking the death penalty because the captain and few other crew members were responsible for a ship that sank. There were many children aboard.
2.) I definitely disagree. Yes, they are responsible but I don't think they should be punished with a death penalty.
3.) I don't believe that this should be allowed. I don't think that it should be right to kill another on any circumstances.
PROS                                                   CONS
  • Getting rid of a problem.                                           Take another person's life.    
  • Addressing an issue that people believe.                   Committing a sin(in many peoples' eyes)
  • Ending complaints.                                                     It can be abused.
