Reality And Fiction The True View

Are fiction stories always based on imagination? Or does it come from someone’s reality? Have you ever asked yourself why people read fiction stories? Either told through movies or books, fiction stories are ways people find to escape from their reality. However, most of the fiction stories come from people’s life, or are based in a real fact in order to be credible. In some ways, the truth must be distorted to be understandable, because sometimes it can be too complex to be explained. Both Reading Lolita in Tehran, by Azar Nafisi, and How To Tell a True Story, by Tim O’Brien, attempt to discover the truth even if it was exemplified by fiction,

Americans depend a great deal on entertainment to educate them about life. In several ways Americans live vicariously through the actors and actresses on television and believe themselves to learn many things from those actors and actresses. For example, many people have said they learned medical techniques by watching medical shows on television or believe they would know what to do in a medical emergency because they have seen it done on television. The same goes for Americans’ knowledge about Court hearings and the judicial system. Many things are done on television by actors playing lawyers or judges that are done just for the purpose of entertainment. “Reality-based” Court shows such as Judge Judy, People’s Court

The media creates television shows that appear to be reality however they are not and when looked at, it is easy to see. I will be discussing the relationships between reality and reality TV, satire, and documentary.

Jurisdiction is import for the operation of American courts because it is the basis behind who has the authority to hear certain cases, where those cases must be heard, and. There are three types of jurisdiction that always have to present in order for a court to have power to make any decisions. They are; subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and geographic jurisdiction.

Many years ago, before courts existed matters was handled in a privately or informally. This often led to violence and unjust treatment of innocent people. During the rise of the Greek City States and the Roman Empire law enforcement became a public affair instead of private. (Siegel, Schmalleger, & Worral, 2011). Along with this movement became formalized courts and other criminal justice institutions. This allowed for law enforcement matters to be handled in a more civilized manner for resolving human conflict.

It is believed to be said that people commit crimes because of various reasons and aspects in their life. The community offers their citizens a secure and safe residence to live in. However, some argue that particular individuals are born with specific traits that determine how they react in a negative condition. Individuals make decisions in life that can lead them down the wrong path. An individual may choose to commit a crime, only looking at how it will benefit them. I also believe that people think before they commit any criminal activity. When an individual commits a crime, they act on their own free will. They’re aware of their consequences of their punishment. Also, people can commit crimes due to their society. Such conflicts arise

It is at time hard to distinguish what is real and what is fictional, concerning the criminal justice

Our US court system is not perfect, it is like a mirror that has some scratches on the surface. With some hard work and the right tools, the mirror can be fixed. Jennifer Murphy and Adam Benforado talk about how our court system is flawed. Murphy talks about drug courts and how they are affecting our court system. Benforado talks about the individuals involved in the courtroom and how their mistakes flaw the court system. Though both Jennifer Murphy and Adam Benforado do talk about ways to fix the systems too.

To begin with, the job a prosecutor has is to gather the facts of the case, along with interviewing material witnesses, and study the evidence that was collected. Next, there may be two attorneys who work the case and both should make the case hold up in court. Finally, an example of a case “where the prosecutor was unethical was when Michael B. Nifong charged Duke university lacrosse team in 2007 with sexual assault, and other crimes, although the evidence collected did not prove that they were guilty.” (pg.)

In the American system of law, the prosecutor is without a shadow of a doubt the most powerful actor. They are tasked with the execution of justice on our collective behalf. They possess the power to prosecute crimes, they control what evidence is shown to the grand jury, recommend prison sentences, maintain custody of evidence, can choose what is and is not evidence, they have major influence on other law enforcement actors, and have near total control of the plea bargain process. With these aforementioned powers they have the power to either serve justice or ruin lives. With the decision to charge a person with a crime they can do irreparable damage to a person’s reputation, business, livelihood, and family.

In the american court room there are several people involved. Some of the most important and lawful figures include: the judge, who is the main authority and the one responsible for justice. The prosecuting attorney, responsible for presenting the case against the defendant. The defense counsel, who is in

The bar tender smiles as he points over to the table where Baiken was sitting at and was drinking down a bottle of sake. She waved over as she giggles pouring him a drink as she was in a good mood. It was clear that she was drunk but that did not mean that her blade or her wit was any duller than if she was not drinking. When he had sit down across the table from her did she put photos on the table of him battling.

In the fictional media today there are many inaccurate portrayals of the legal system to add excitement by distorting reality. Through these portrayals, people begin to think this is the way the legal system really is when realistically it is not as glamorized and exciting as the media makes it seem. I watched Erin Brockovich to see how the film legitimizes the law, how it stresses flaws in our legal system and how it accurately depicts the American legal system. This film is a dramatized version of a true story, but the story stays mostly accurate to the legitimization of the law. Erin Brockovich was working at a law firm as an assistant.

Silently, my senses begin to abandon their rationale…who is to say then what is real? The world that we live in, the reality, which we are a part of, is small and thus limited. That is why, in his infinite capacity for potential improvement, man created fantasy. Fantasy is BIG! To a certain extent it is more imaginative, more exciting, and more fun. Fantasy is like a lake where man throws all his ideas and dreams, and then he dives on in from the springboard of imagination. So, jump in to the lake. Why not? Just make sure that when you jump in to the lake you know how to get back from where you came from. Because, no matter how big a fantasy is, to the point that it somehow changes our perception of what is

Several questions arise when discussing the Paradox of Fiction: “Does fiction matter since it is not reality?”, “How does it come to play on our emotions?”, “Are those emotions real since we would ultimately react differently had it been reality?”. The Paradox of Fiction is hard to understand because we cannot know for sure why we feel the need to get so emotionally involved in a fantasy world. The emotions that surface when we watch a scary movie are seemingly as real as if we were actually in the same situation in our real life. But what causes us to feel this way is something that is still trying to be understood by many. There is no logical, scientific
