n the other hand I believe Leonard's argument needed a more substantial reason closing paragraph ; in my opinion it felt rushed and out of the blue. Why would the average reader care about what is considered a gaming machine now a days? I understand he uses this point to join everyone together at the end with “ We're all gamers. And that's all right.” but to me while it wasn't a fallacy seemed lack-luster. I would have used one final quote, here from “Gamer's Crave Sense of Control: Feeling Competent Matters More than Violence, Blood” written by Laura Sanders, “ A common belief held by many gamers and many in the video game industry- that violence is what makes a game fun- is strongly contradicted by these studies”( 2009). With that quote at …show more content…
Midway Games ( D. Conn. 2002). The reason this case is “harmful” lies within the case text of what happened “Yancy was addicted to a video game manufactured by Midway called Mortal Kombat, and that Yancy was so obsessed with the game that he actually believed he was the character Cyrax.” when he stabbed and killed his friend named Noah Wilson in 1997. The implications of this are major and would drive the public in a panic which would negate the whole ideology “Yes, there are cesspools. But they can be avoided”(Leonard, 2015). The rest that follows isn't of much consequence to Leonard's argument but I will state the whole case. Midgard argues that “Mortal Kombat is not a "product" that can give rise to a product liability claim” based almost entirely on that statement the U.S District court ruled in favor of Midgard and Wilson's claims were dismissed entirely. The aspect of video games being not a product that can give rise to a liability claim that will definitely change in the future with how games are being developed. Recently I learned from the Virtual Reality Society, gaming technology has made huge strides and that now people can even wear helmets and interact within the game. I believe the courts claim will change because if your immersed in a product which makes it so you can't see reality and while playing it you somehow injure yourself be it mental or physical. The game would definitely have to take reliability for a injury it

In Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, Holden would like Lee because she is a predictable person. For instance, she is predicted to do anything anybody asks her to even though if she does not like it or promised that she would never do it again because she puts peoples’ needs before her own. For instance, “And this was it, the last time: I was retiring from cutting hair” (158). This shows that Lee is retiring from hair cutting because she felt disgusted by Aspeth and Cross’ behavior. They were flirting in front of her when Lee was cutting Aspeth’s nasty blond hair. “My hair desperately needs cutting” (164). This shows that Lee is predictable because after she vowed that she would not cut anybody’s hair anymore, she cut Ms. Moray’s hair a few days after

This article from CNN’s website discusses how a Florida judge recently sentenced Timothy Hurst, who is convicted on a murder charge of a young woman who was bound, gagged, and stabbed over 60 times, to death row. A jury recommended that Hurst be put on death row, but was not present during the ruling. The judge held a separate hearing, without a jury present, and imposed the death penalty on Hurst. The judge’s sentence for Hurst was ruled unconstitutional because it violated the sixth amendment, which includes the right to an impartial jury, and a recommendation from a jury is not enough for a ruling to be made. This case is now being send to Florida’s Supreme Court for further proceedings. This could impact actions towards other inmates
What if your best friend went on an adventure. They had everything they had ever wanted. They didn't tell you or their family where they were going or how long they would be gone. They just picked up and left. Would you respect their decision to not tell anyone their plans? Would you think that this was a good idea of theirs, or would you think that this was a stupid decision on their part? Well this is what Christopher McCandless did. In 1968 McCandless was born. He was born to a good, wealthy, and happy family. He had everything any child could ever wish for. He was smart, athletic, and had a good education. In June 1990 he completed collage. In July of 1990 Christopher McCandless left his family and almost all belongings, and didn't tell anyone where he was going, or how long he'd be gone. Three years later McCandless was found dead in a blue bus located in Alaska. He had died of starvation. He went off and, ¨lived his life.¨ McCandless went out and lived in the wild. While Christopher McCandless died peacefully, the question has arose on whether McCandless was a noble adventurer or an arrogant fool. The evidence from many stories and social media clearly states that McCandless was in fact an arrogant fool. Christopher McCandless was an arrogant fool because he was not prepared, he
In 1760, when George III was made kind of England, he saw that Britain are in debt because of the seven years’ war, he decided to make a way out by making the colonies be part of the payment. Likewise, he increases the taxes and make sure they did not enough partner to trade with so that they can gain more profits. To the people in the colonies they felt it was a cheat and violation of “Navigation Act” (Foner 186). Just because they did not have a representative in the parliament. In 1761, James Otis was a lawyer, who stood against the writs of assistance to combat smuggling (Foner 186). The writs were a search houses if there is an evidence of smuggling goods. In addition, some people who do not support the stamp Act oppose it and differentiate between “internal taxes” from the stamp duty, brought about the idea that the parliament do not have the right to impose any thing on them or their trade. Above all, they do not have right to tax American since they do not have
In March 1857, one of the most controversial events preceding the Civil War occurred. Dred Scott, and his wife had once belonged to army surgeon John Emerson, who bought him from the Peter Blow family of St. Louis. After Emerson died, the Blows apparently helped Scott sue Emerson’s widow for his freedom, but lost the case in state court. Which was because Mrs. Emerson left him with her brother John Sanford. Whose name was misspelled in court papers. He was a New York citizen. Scott sued again in federal court, claiming Missouri citizenship. Scott’s lawyers eventually appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Beautifully written! You stated, “Genovese justified the killing of the women and children,” I could never justify the killing of women and children, no matter the race, just as I could not justify the institution of slavery. Another great point you made is, “since Gray was the only one present during the confession, there is doubt as to whether Turner spoke those words”. There were no other witness to justify or discredit his claim, and all involved were executed, except for the few that managed to hide or escape from Nat Turner, and I don’t believe they would understand why he would do what he did, to the extent he did. The essay stated that Nat learn how to read and write however, he was a slave and the sophisticated language said
In the book, Sanchez, (1995) focuses on ethnic studies and how prior to World War II, Mexican Americans had formed a unique identity that was not oriented toward Mexico but America, their new home. Despite facing unequal opportunity in social and economic spheres, immigrants nevertheless proceeded to build cohesive communities and strove to adapt their cultural identity to the American way. Mexican immigrants were beset by pressures from America to assimilate to the American way while facing more pressure from Mexico to remain loyal. In response, however, Mexican immigrants found the middle ground where they remained Mexican while being American citizens. In the analysis, the book alludes to cultural identity as stipulated by Stuart Hall where cultural identity is regarded as becoming and being.

Ovid’s interpretation of the creation myth, begins the same way the Greek creation myth begins, with only chaos. A god or entity forms and orders the chaos into different elements of the earth. Here the world, or the universe itself is undergoing a metamorphosis, but Ovid implies through his works that the universe never truly moved beyond the essential chaos that predated the universe. In Book V of the Metamorphoses, Ovid uses the significance and the quantity of the transformations to demonstrate the idea of everything is operating in a state of constant flux. He then, uses the order of the stories, to develop his ideas about a hierarchical pattern of existence.
