    In the Supreme Court ruling of Davis v. Davis, Justice Daughtrey created an epoche of the law when she, unlike previous judges, based her decision on the recognition of a new category more relevant to the case rather than relying on one previously established. She casts aside conventional thoughts and residual knowledge by declaring the case to present a "question of first impression" which will require the court to act through common law. Although Justice Daughtrey relates other statutes, cases, and constitutions to the case, she refuses to follow any precedent established by similar situations.…

    In this essay, John M. Barry uses antithesis to display a contrast in his thoughts and the assuming thoughts of the readers. In doing this, the author is not only able to show the readers the different sides of how scientists are perceived by people, but as well as how they actually are in the world of scientific research. The author collates certainty and uncertainty as an example for the readers to view that scientists of the world are just like them. Scientists contain “certainty, [which] creates strength, and uncertainty, [which] creates weakness” (Barry). In using these disparities, Barry is showing the readers that “science teaches us to doubt” (Barry). By elaborating on the concepts of certainty and uncertainty, readers are able to see…

    B.) Judges should have the power to look beyond the written “letter of the law” in making their decisions. Judges should rule on precedents, however, sometimes a court will depart from the rule of precedent if it decides that the precedent should no longer be followed. For example, if a court decides that a ruling precedent is simply incorrect or that technological or social changes have rendered the precedent inapplicable, the court might rule contrary to the precedent.…

    Kathleen Okruhlik Bias

    • 1202 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In Kathleen Okruhlik’s paper, she strives to show that the practice of science as a whole, cannot escape bias, particularly bias in relation to the different sexes. Her argument is thorough, but flawed as it is possible for science to be unbiased. She includes many outdated papers showing how the science was skewed by only using male models, or how scientists are basing assumptions on the idea that male is superior to female, so they use males in their theories and explanations. Her account of why science is biased, is biased in itself as she takes a very feminist view of the situations and in forming her conclusion, but it has been found that bias in more modern science, is no longer a problem. Bias…
