In Adele Lowitz’s memoir, Adele Lowitz: the Lawyer with a Choice she perfectly outlines the consternation of someone in the high position that she once held just a few years ago. Adele served at the head lawyer on one of the most publicised, overt and important and funny law cases in American history. This case which was entitled “SNL vs. the President” was fought between the executive producer of the popular TV show Saturday Night Live and the President of the United States over a joke made on air that was particularly offensive to the leader of the free world. Although it may seem like a non important case in American history, it was actually a turning point in the ability of the media and the power that the government holds. Adele was a powerful lawyer before the case. She graduated at the top of her law school class and was immediately hired by one of the biggest law firms in America. Her younger brother of three years on the other hand was a comedian. He had become an incredibly famous comedian, taking over the Late Night Show For Jimmy Kimmel. Luckily for Adele, her brother had never been on Saturday night …show more content…
She had been successful and made enough money to support her family for many years. One day, in January of 2036, Adele got two very important calls that changed her career forever. In the morning, the executive producer of Saturday Night Live called and asked Adele to represent the show in the case. Later in the day, the President of the United States himself called Adele to ask her to be the head lawyer on his side of the case. The pile of pro con lists for each side acreted on her desk. This is described in the memoir as “the hardest decision I ever had to make” according to Lowitz. She describes how being a pragmatic decision maker further pushed her to make the right decision of which side to defend, win the case and eventually become the most successful female lawyer of all

My philosopher is Martha Nussbaum, and according to her the examined life involves justice. My philosopher’s intended audience would be everyone, even though in the video it seems like she is talking to you, she would like her views on justice to be shared to everyone. Martha Nussbaum touches upon a few main points, she talks about how people with mental and physical disabilities need justice. People are just beginning to learn about people with disabilities and they clearly need justice in order to for them to have a content life. Martha Nussbaum also talks about how the people of society need to create a world that can be as good as it can be, she talks about the potential we have to make this a great world. However, it will take many people around the world to create the ideal life that Martha Nussbaum talks about. She also mentions how even people are different, everyone should deserve equal opportunities. The
In modern life, news outlets distribute satire and caricatures of government institutions and its leaders to the public via numerous social media platforms, television, and magazines with little to no repercussion. Currently, the most famous political figure satirized in the media is the forty-fifth President of the United States, Donald Trump. Harshly criticized for his politics, pseudo-professionalism, and demeanor, the President brandishes the reports and depictions of his misdoing as “fake news”. Protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, the citizens and press are at liberty to represent the United States President as a little handed, orange colored man with an overexaggerated combover (Figure 1). Indeed, Donald Trump is neither
Imagine two children: John lives in a three-story house, attends soccer practice every Thursday, is an amateur cello player, and has the opportunity to travel across the country with his parents. Elliot, on the other hand, lives in a one-story home in need of constant repair, returns home every day from school to clean, cook, and make sure his younger sister does her homework while both parents are working blue-collar jobs until bedtime. From the outside, it may seem that John has the upper hand since his family could be classified as higher-middle class and he has more social experiences; however, Elliot manages to support his family from a young age, learning the responsibility and independence. Which child will succeed more in life under society’s definition?
The Kathy Griffin Press Conference was originally intended to speak on Griffin’s controversial photo of President Donald Trump’s blood, decapitated head. The conference began with Lisa Bloom, a well-known civil rights attorney, listing Griffin’s previous endeavors with various groups of people and progressed into an impromptu comedy special sprinkled with emotions when Kathy Griffin spoke on the matter. Though Lisa Bloom is a credible civil rights attorney, she was not enough to save Griffin’s name after the gruesome photo sparked backlash. Lacking in professionalism, responsibility, and a sound argument, the conference lost its overall effectiveness.
Patriarchy also disconnects the relation between eroticism and procreation, it guarantees motherhood, but negates the mother’s “jouissance”, and the erotic affiliations are with the mistress rather than the wife. It Is mentioned by Esther Fuchs, a jewish feminist biblical scholar, that “men also may have control of female reproductive powers in conjunction with patrilocal and monogamous marriage (for the wife), secures the wife as her husband’s exclusive property and ensures the continuity of his name and family possessions through patrimonial customs and patrilineal inheritance patterns”. Also, “The institution of motherhood as defined by the patriarchal system guarantees that both the wife and her children will increase his property during
When dealing and viewing Allen’s case, many believed his life was not only spared by him ratting on other dealers, but also due to his judge taken a liking to his standup routes. The ruling Judge Patrick McCauley even stated to Allen, “Be a man. Do your time. Then come out and do what you do best. I expect you be a very successful comedian” (Sargent, 2015). Many individuals assume, Judge McCauley seen many of Allen’s comedy routes, and went easy on him, because he thought he was funny. Which Allen did become very successful in his life. Also, many individuals, felt that the jury also took a liking to Allen’s standup comedy routes, because many have seen it as well.

Hi Dora and Fritz, for sure that was not a good day for Marianne, I locked the name up on the net.
Maintenon made numerous attempts to make the king more religious; each attempt achieved varying degrees of success. She wrote to him, “You have promised me, Sire, a sincere and lasting Conversion to God; I rely entirely on your Word. I am encouraged thereby; I blame my Suspicions, my Credulity: But if – the rest is wanting” (Maintenon 139). Maintenon frequently reminded Louis XIV of his religious responsibilities including: “the need for charitable bonnes oeuvres, rigorous spiritual exercises, or at least regular attendance at services, and support for religious houses” (Bryant 139). However, she found little success with her reminders and Louis XIV’s unwillingness to comply frustrated her (Bryant 139). This further reinforces the fact that
I agree with you Gillian, I was too very intrigued and inspired by Rafi’s answer to this question. It clearly shows that the citizens of Afghanistan want to progress and to achieve peace, and they are doing it the right way. I particularly loved the part of the class when he mentioned that peace always comes on top, and historically he is right. Time and time again we see that nonviolent movements achieve their purpose. I believe that as long as there are people like him in Afghanistan, and in the world. Things have a chance of improving, I believe it is heroic for him to risk his live time and time again for his country and his family. His purpose and motivation have to be very firm and strong for him to do that every day. I simply have to
Zoe, in Greek in short means life, (ζωή, ῆς, ἡ). Translated more thoroughly however, means life, both of physical (present) and of spiritual (particularly future) existence. I think this reflects Alex’s (Zoe’s) personality, especially the fact that she knew that her name had that meaning. This reflects her knowledge and intellectual interest in the things that identify her. She also chose the tortoise over the hare, reflecting her understanding of the importance of patience and intelligence. Or maybe she just likes tortoises more than hares. Her choice of sunsets over sunrises shows that she appreciates the beauty of the world going to sleep, or perhaps the goings
History is a form of art that has been inspired by the past. Whether it be past events or personal experiences, history has a hand in artists' work. Identity in art is a more specific way for an artist to express personal experiences. Identity is a way for the artist to have a visual representation of who they are as a person; their family, where they come from, their beliefs, etc. The art itself can be very personal or unifying overall.
Ellsworth Toohey and Gail Wynand both desire the same thing—power. However, they each have different ideas about the best way to obtain it. Wynand goes about acquiring power by catering to the most sordid aspects of human nature; he strives to give the readers of the Banner unfiltered content that will appeal to the worst parts of them. Toohey, on the other hand, seeks to bring out the mediocrity in mankind. He idealizes a society lacking any individuality in which everyone works for the benefit of everyone else. Both of these characters also contrast in interesting ways with Howard Roark, who does not allow people or societal influences to factor into any of his decisions.
