Riots and other violent methods have been used to get certain points across; and I believe the best way to appropriately get points across with you is writing a letter. There have been accusations made claiming it was a case of male and class privilege. Was the six-month confinement in a county jail and three years of probation enough for the crime that Brock Turner committed? I understand that sanctions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but sexual assault is something to be taken very seriously no matter the outcome of the situation, in this situation hurting the athlete’s reputation…

    Adnan Syed Case Summary

    The case against Adnan Syed that sent him to jail for the rest of his life was frail and full of holes. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee was murdered at 2:36 PM. The prime witness for the case was a drug dealer, Jay. He said that Adnan was the one who murdered Hae. Adnan was just a 17-year-old kid. He was very well liked and he was not capable of murdering Hae. Adnan’s case was clearly mismanaged because if you look at all the facts, you would find inexplicable gaps in the case against him. After I listened to twelve podcasts about this case for several weeks, I was instantly suspicious of Jay. When I first heard about Jay, I learned that he was a drug dealer and most of the people he knew thought that he often acted strangely. Some people…

    It is only natural to dismiss the idea of our own personal flaws, for who with a healthy sense of self wanders in thoughts of their own insufficiency? The idea of hypocrisy is one that strikes a sensitive nerve to most, and being labeled a hypocrite is something we all strive to avoid. Philip Meyer takes this emotion to the extreme by examining a study done by a social psychologist, Stanley Milgram, involving the effects of discipline. In the essay, "If Hitler Asked You to Electrocute a Stranger, Would You? Probably", Meyer takes a look at Milgram's study that mimics the execution of the Jews (among others) during World War II by placing a series of subjects under similar conditions of stress, authority, and obedience. The main theme of this experiment is giving subjects the impression that they are shocking an individual for incorrectly answering a list of questions, but perhaps more interesting is the results that occur from both ends of the research. Meyer's skill in this essay is using both the logical appeal of facts and statistics as well as the pathetic appeal to emotion to get inside the reader's mind in order to inform and dissuade us about our own unscrupulous actions.…
