Essay On Flag Burning

Flag Burning can be and usually is a very controversial issue. Many people are offended by the thought of destroying this country's symbol of liberty and freedom. During a political protest during the 1984 Republican Convention, Gregory Lee Johnson was arrested for burning an American flag. Years later in 1989, Johnson got the decision overturned by the United States Supreme Court. In the same year, the state of Texas passed the Flag Protection Act, which prohibited any form of desecration against the American flag. This act provoked many people to protest and burn flags anyway. Two protestors, Shawn Eichman and Mark Haggerty were charged with violating the law and arrested. Both Eichman and Haggerty appealed the

Many people believe that the American flag represents the pride they have in their country. Anyone who was to damage the flag is often seen as “un-patriotic” or even as a “terrorist”. That, however, is simply untrue. Burning the American flag is one of the greatest patriotic acts a person can do.

Currently in the US, burning the flag is legal, as per the Supreme Court Case Texas v Johnson. In their ruling, the Supreme Court stated that burning the flag was an exercise of the first amendment right to freedom of speech, and therefore could not be banned. This caused much controversy, and several attempts were made by the President and Congress to ban flag during, however, each attempt was overruled by the Supreme Court. Supporters of flag burning say it is a form of expression, and therefore shouldn 't be banned as it doesn 't bring harm or threaten harm to anyone. This that disagree say that since the Flag represents America and its ideals, burning it is a direct attack on all our country holds sacred. Despite the controversy, and attempts to outlaw it, burning the flag is still legal today throughout the country.

bartender will know when you had enough. Selling alcohol out of stores is also a huge problem

Social host liability laws are enacted to hold hosts accountable for any alcohol related injuries that were the result of the host serving alcohol to minors (under the age of 21 for this discussion) or adults. Presently, the State of Setonia has no formalized common-law duty addressing social host liability. In light case recently heard in the Setonia Court where a clearly intoxicated driver struck a pedestrian after departing a social gathering, it was questioned if Setonia should seek to formulate a common-law duty for social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol. Two court decisions, with markedly opposed decisions, from Delaware (Shea v. Matassa, 2007) and North Carolina (Hart v. Ivey, 1992), were reviewed in anticipation of the potential formulation of a common-law duty of a social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired or under the influence of alcohol.

Yes, the server should be careful on the limits of people and should suggest to the person not to drink but at the end of the day the drunk is going to do whatever he/she wants. It is impossible to make the serving host responsible for every person to get home safe and respecting the laws of the road. The person drinking the alcohol should be of age to do it. If the person is of the age, they should be responsible

Burning the flag or burning anything is dangerous. First off you have to have a permit to burn anything. You have to take “burn classes” to get your permit. If you get caught burning something without a permit you may be charged with a misdemeanor. (law dictionary). Police want you to have your permit so they know that you know everything about burning stuff. Carl Chase spent 14 years in the Navy and he said Burning the Flag is dangerous because if someone who see you doing that and they have respect for the country they will do something about and it might not be call the police it might be a shot in the head. (Carl Chase) I think those two solid facts are great sources to

Fifty white stars and thirteen red and white stripes should not be anywhere fire. America is known for freedom, and people from all over the world make their way to the United States to find their American dream, but should the freedoms presented in the first amendment include the right to burn the American flag? The American flag is much more than a flag; it is a symbol of strength and the lives lost to get America to where it is today. Burning the flag should be excepted from the freedom of speech protections because it is not only disrespectful to those who have served, but it also causes violence when burned in public places.

I do not believe that burning the flag will diminish the flag's symbolism.  Since Gregory Johnson's flag burning actions in 1984, Americans have not suddenly decided that the flag no longer stands for the millions who have given their lives to protect the United States.  We still sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with our hats off and our hands over our hearts.  We still celebrate and commemorate the Fourth of July, Veteran's Day, and Memorial Day.  We still give the Pledge of Allegiance (although, according to a Supreme Court ruling in the 1940's, we are not required to do so). 

The American flag represents multiple forms from innocence and purity, while many can associate it to be signifying vigilance and justice. It stands greatly to symbolize America of all the hardships, withstanding through the past and present that would reflect to a certain degree. However, it comes to a point in which people have vouched in different intentions on the American Flag and verbally desecrate the flag as it varies upon their way for freedom of speech. The people who do in a way desecrate the flag must raise their own opinion that can very controversial to others, but not to themselves. Although it’s very dependent on the individual and their reason of why they would want to destroy the flag as to justify them having a good reason

People should be able to express themselves however they want. If they want to burn the flag to express their discontent with the government, then so be it. In 1984, a man named Gregory Lee Johnson burned the American flag to protest Ronald Reagan’s policies. As a result, he was arrested by the police and

They could have been drinking elsewhere before they came in and drinks a bartender gave them was enough to cause them to become overly intoxicated, even if it was only a shot or two. The bartender may not have used their judgment to the best of their own ability and resulted in, unfortunately, over-serving a guest. For the sake of the bartender and the their other customers (who may not want to be around someone intoxicated and consider the night ruined as a result), as well as the guest who has been drinking in excess, it's important to know when someone needs 'shut off' as the bartender and place where they work can be held accountable for the person's actions. A bartender should also know if the person came in with others (and if they are intoxicated or not) or if they could get transportation for the guest, if they should find the guest the means to get home or, in more extreme cases, if law enforcement needs to be involved with the guest, depending on their behavior As no two scenarios are the same and many factors play into them, to differentiate them from one another, a person must know how to see and apply what is going on to each individual case. A person who is slightly tipsy wouldn't need the same treatment as someone who cannot walk straight ; a customer who is falling asleep on the bar would be handled differently than someone with glassy eyes, but is fine

One of the consultants asked us “Why would Nightclubs care about this issue?” (Personal Communication, February 8th, 2016). The only solution that I could process in my head was that a night club would only be interested in this issue if they are making a profit or if it has a bad reputation in the terms of safety. However, if a nightclub has a bad reputation, then most individuals would not be willing to go to that nightclub or pay for its service. Therefore, I think it would be a better if my group and I focus on the second idea for our Business Model

This is a tricky subject, but my thoughts are No. I don’t think bartenders should be held responsible. Adults are responsible for their own actions. Bars cannot be expected to know every customer’s limit pertaining to alcohol and take the blame for drunken misdoings. Thus, individuals usually come to bars to drink alcohol it’s the bartender’s job to serve them. Under some circumstances, yes a patron should be cut off. But to hold an establishment or it’s bartender responsible is ridiculous.

It is necessary to possess judgment skills in order to make decisions on who to serve, how much, and when to cut a person off. The rules and laws for these vary between locations and should be studied. For example, a local bar would be permitted to allow people to be more intoxicated than a place such as a casino, which has much stricter rules in place for alcohol serving (legally, a person cannot be intoxicated and on a casino floor). Using solid, sound judgment is another crucial aspect. Observational skills play into this as well, as does knowing that 'intoxicated' can how much a person can handle has many different factors that play into it (age, gender, size, etc).
