Dumb Law Reflection Journal
Reflection Journal Week Three (10-7-16):
My peers and I have been in trouble for showing up to class late or not showing up to school at all. Occasionally students will get in trouble for talking in class as well as not turning in their homework on time. People have also been in trouble for bullying, drinking, and smoking marijuana under age. When I attended high school in Chelan I felt that skin color made no difference when it came to disciplinary actions for students who had committed wrongdoings. About half the people that attended my high school were of Mexican or Hispanic descent. In the small community I attended high school I was able to observe that some of the Mexican and Hispanic kids were very smart, tried hard in school and seemed

Even though at some locations in the state of Washington there is a fair amount of people that believe in bigfoot's existence I believe that this is a dumb law. This is not a good law to have because it implies that bigfoot is real with very little evidence. This law must have been created by someone who wanted a good laugh and also wanted to create a reason for more tourist attraction in the Northwest. Bigfoot has received publicity of all types including advertisements. Big foot can be found on some Jacks Links commercials which is just one example of the publicity this controversial myth has stirred up. A dumb law that still exists in Arizona is that you cannot let your donkey sleep in a bathtub. This law could have been possibly put into place because of teachings in the bible taken to literally and as a result a dumb law was made about it. I doubt this law will ever change unless someone gets it on a ballot to try to repeal it. My guess is that not many law enforcement officers in Arizona would actually enforce this law. This law is a terrible law because it takes away people's basic rights of freedom for choosing how they would want to bathe their donkey. Also not many people have donkeys in the US because of a decreased need for

    They are different types of and legal protections of intellectual property. There are Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets.

There is also Trade Secrets, which is a formula, process or device or any other way that keeps a company’s secret to give them an advantage. An example of a trade secret is Coca Cola. Their formula has been kept secret for decades, they have taken the necessary steps to control disclosure of the information (upcounsel.com). the law steps into place when any of these are filed with the federal government, such as the US patent office. They can provide protection from other competitors using your ideas. They can provide an attorney if needed. An e-company can benefit from any of these types of protections from the government, especially the Federal Trade Commission, depending what they offer. An example being Amazon.

    Race affects children in ways that many do not notice, happening both on a conscious and subconscious level. To find an example of how race affects a child of color one doesn't have to look far, just turn on their television and look at the news. There are many cases every week about how a child of color is affected due to their color. Each time an African-American child loses his/her father to jail or death that is directly affecting the child. Yes, this happens to children of all races, but specifically in America “African Americans now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerated population” and “African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites” which is a huge a discrepancy (NAACP). In a less noticeable fashion the education system is against non-white students. Most students would agree they focus more in a class if they feel a connection with their teacher, but the problem with that connection is that many students lack that connection due to race. Linda Darling-Hammond said “that the quality of instruction given to African-American students was, on average, much lower than that given white students, thus creating a racial gap in aggregate achievement at the end of first grade” in her essay Unequal opportunity: Race and education. This achievement gap only becomes larger and larger leading to “35% of black children [in] grades 7-12 [being] suspended or…

    A community to which I belong to is the community of youth of color, I have been an increasingly integral part of a coalition of students since I was a freshman in high school. I quickly found myself immersed into an organization known as Californians for Justice (CFJ), where students of color supported each other. We were a community of students that were acquiescently driven to make an impact on future generations to come. During my time in CFJ, I encompassed the idea of what it meant to be fearless, but also what it meant to a fail in today’s society. Considered a statistic to the State Board, I was only a number analyzed through standardized tests and generic probabilities about drop outs. Nonetheless, on the day we went to the California…

    America is considered the land of opportunity. It has the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge on each side of the country’s borders to represent just that notion. Unfortunately, this call does not apply to all of its citizens, especially citizens of color. Adults and children living in America, who are African American or Hispanic American, do not have economic equality or stability. The evidence of severe shortcomings in our country’s efforts to break down the barriers that exclude people of color will continue to deprive them of true equality. A common outcry from students of color is the desire for a fair and just quality of life. I believe we have reached an uncompromising and an unacceptable regression in our school systems regarding our youth, particularly those students of color. Social attitudes, limits and inconsistent service stipulations continue to exclude students of color from many opportunities, constraining the lives of them and their families. I perceive that many scholars would blame their behavior, learning ability, and beliefs on the parents’ inability to assist, hip hop music, gang units, and their overall environment. However, when does the cycle end? How can a student of color transcend all of the pitfalls and daggers that are thrown at them and still come out on top? When can they have hope in the political arena?…
