Justifiable Force
People have hurt and even killed others for numerous reasons, but many of them don’t know when it’s justifiable to do so or don’t care. Different situations call upon different actions. Justifiable force can be used in a few situations when it is called for such as protecting yourself or someone else. Another situation would be defending your home or property from intruders. Also, people such as police officers and military personnel use justifiable force. A lot of people think that their actions are justified when they are not.
When people see others getting bullied some go to their help, but others just watch. Running to the defense of someone or defending yourself is an act of justifiable force. I been bullied before and I know that it’s no laughing matter. I even helped some people getting bullied even though those people getting bullied were also bullying others I still helped them because it was the right thing to do. If people could learn to

Justifiable force is not a something you can play around with because it’s possible you or another person could be killed. You should only use force when it is absolutely necessary and you feel a situation could put your life at risk. There are times when justifiable force can be claimed unjustifiable such as when there is not enough evidence to declare your innocence or when the action you took was not justifiable. There are laws in different states that state when situations are justifiable and when they are not. The next time you are in a tight situation and you don’t know if what you are about to do is justifiable, then just remember that you have the right to protect yourself and
Bullying is very bad and because of this about 160,000 of 13,000,000 kids stay home so they don’t get bullied by anyone. Also out of that 13 million 2,000 commit suicide because of the harsh bullying. Since many kids around the world are being bullied schools have been starting an anti-bullying system which brings bullies down by 15%. When kids reported bullying 80% of it is name calling, 39% is hitting or shoving, 38% is threats, 29% is rumor spreading, etc. Everyone should always remember one rule and that is the golden rule, the golden rule is to treat others how they want to be treated, but some bullies just don’t understand so they make everyone feel bad about themselves.
Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States is a distinct alternative to most mainstream history textbooks. Zinn’s perspective of different complicated historical issues is exemplified through his unique writing and helps the reader understand different convoluted events. The point of view that Zinn chooses allows him to express hardships and struggles through the perspective of America's victims, slaves, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and the immigrant laborers. By speaking for the voiceless, Zinn is able to provide readers ample detail while looking at sensitive times in American history. Zinn starts with Columbus and progressively moves into recent history; he extensively illustrates the hidden class struggles and the fight to replace a broken political system, but still remains insightful and takes a holistic approach while evaluating American History.
If you happen to be the bystander, your success comes from knowing not to get involved or not to get too involved, lest you yourself become an actual bully or a victim. You may even be blessed with the cherished gift of self-denial, and in such case, you are able to dismiss any vague notions that your inaction makes you complicit in the bully's trespass. Still you are human: you have an opinion, you have feelings about the matter. Maybe you sympathize with one of the sides. Maybe you wish you had the guts to be that way. Maybe you're just afraid you'll get hurt. Maybe you have something to lose; maybe that something is so valuable you're not willing to gamble it. Maybe you simply feel guilty for not getting involved. Or, maybe all you feel is relief -- relief that it's not you. Makes no difference, the bystander just stands there. Hence the name. Oh, you may be emotionally conflicted, but being a bystander is really the safest place to be. Consequently, bystanders often opt to remain bystanders.
Most bullies usually a victims of some sort of emotional trauma. Their afraid to do what’s right, when all they is know is to treat others disrespectfully, because they're treated like that. I think that we need to take a stand to not only help the victim out, but the bully too. If you see someone repetitively bullying, tell an adult. They might enlist the person to see a counselor, or someone who could help them out. If you stand up and make a change for that person, their courage may come out from behind the
One night, a small-town patrol officer stops a car driven by two teenagers. The officer believes that one of them might be responsible for a string of recent burglaries. The teens are questioned, and the officer becomes angry at their responses. Over the objections of the teenagers, both teens are pulled out of the car and shoved around a little. They are both told that they are under arrest and the officer begins to place handcuffs on them. Both fight back and both are beaten badly (Bruno, 2010). The question is what legal recourse is available to the families of the teens if any?
The supervisor shall conduct an investigation about said incident. The chief of police is to be sent such report.
People may not realize it, but bystanders play a huge role in bullying. By not stepping in or telling someone about it, they are making the problem worse. A bystander intervening could stop someone from getting hurt, and even prevent bullying from happening in the future. If a bystander does not say or do anything about it, they are contributing to the issue. There are more bystanders than there are bullies, so it is their choice to help or hurt the situation.
This use of force matrix utilizes a graded approach whereas an officer will use only the force necessary to exercise and arrest. Law enforcement officers may use that amount of force necessary to effect the lawful purpose intended, provided that no reasonably effective alternative to the use of force appears to exist at the time the force is used. The privilege to use force is not limited to the amount of force necessary to protect themselves or others, but extends to that amount reasonably necessary to enable officers to effect the arrest or otherwise neutralize the resistance of a subject. If a suspect refuses to be arrested the officer will have to utilize a higher level of force dependent upon the suspects actions. For example, if a suspect is resisting arrest, the officer may use a taser or other force methods to arrest the individual. An officer cannot simple resort to higher levels of force without proper justification. Officers must utilize only the force which is necessary and justified. There are times when an armed suspect may prompt an officer to use the highest level of force, deadly force, if he feels him or another person’s life is in jeopardy. The result of not going utilizing his weapon on this use of force scenario could mean death to the officer or the public.
Unreasonable force by police Arrests by force is not unconstitutional, or illegal. If the manner of the arrest was reasonable and the amount of force was reasonably necessary, then the arrest by force, and the use of force during the arrest, is justified. The public’s opinion about force is very distorted since it focuses on unreasonable usage of force when an arrest is being made. The definition of “unreasonable force” is one not named in Black’s Law Dictionary, however it could be stated that unreasonable force is the use of force by a police officer that a reasonable person would find excessive under the circumstances.
The Day of the Dead is a unique Mexican holiday celebrated with many different customs and traditions throughout Mexico. This holiday focuses on the gathering of family and friends to pray for people close to them who have died and help them along on their spiritual journey. Every year, starting on October 31st, Mexican people begin their annual three-day celebration of The Day of the Dead or El Día de los Muertos. The holiday takes place over a course of three days, October 31st, November 1st, and November 2nd. Although it is celebrated over a three-day period, November 2nd is typically referred to as the official Day of the Dead because it is the day that is set aside to remember and honor those who have passed. October 31st is similar to the Western culture’s Halloween. November 1st is “Dia de los innocents” and on this day, children and infants who have passed are celebrated. These dates coincide with the Western Christian holy days: All Saints’ Eve, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day.
The Use of Force, written by William Carlos Williams is a story about a conflicted unnamed doctor using physical force to determine a diagnosis. The question that is brought up is whether or not the doctor’s use of force was one of ethical duty or infuriating violence. The doctor makes it his duty to save the patient, Mathilda as she does not cooperate he makes a choice to go on and use force to open her mouth to determine her diagnosis. The choice of using force isn’t necessarily the questionable part, the motive on using physical force is debatable. The ultimate question that the short story, the Use of Force asks is whether or not the doctor’s motives become one of dutiful compassion or desirable violence.
The Use of Force is a short story by William Carlos Williams that is very powerful and leaves the readers with an ethical dilemma. The following social issues can be debated on it: Can physical for good purpose be justified?, What compels the use of force isn’t simply altruism, difference of two separating two different tasks, a dark side persists in every individual, parents concern for their children, use of force as sympathy care for a patient.
Have you ever wondered why the bully bullies? 8 of you said you were bullied and 5 of you were bullies. Well, believe it or not the bully needs the same help than the bullied. They are in different sides of the problem but still they both have a problem. We can’t forget that we are talking about kids, about human beings.
The ending of the story shows that the little girl had been dealing with her own sort of internal conflict. She had a
Everyone has either been bullied or have been the bully, but the ones who are the bully don’t see what they’re really doing until it’s too late.
