Examples Of To Whom It May Concern
To Whom It May Concern,

A person's individual rights are not absolute. Not everyone can have what they want because then ones' rights in a certain situation will conflict with other rules or laws. The government balances individual rights with the public good or general welfare of the people so that our communities do not fall to chaos. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights give the government the power to pass laws to restrict behavior while protecting the rights of citizens at the same time.

Living on the coast of Florida can be pretty hazardous, especially during hurricane season. Sometimes when meteorologists expect severe damage to homes and land the government will order the evacuation of an area. I don't agree with this. I

    QRC193 Assessment

    According to Simmons and Sutter (2007), research was focused on enhancing the use of forecasting and communication methods to prompt protective actions from community members, however, no research was conducted into how this information would be conveyed, especially when considering the affected demographic and the time the incident occurred (p. 1). This line of thinking clearly identifies a behavioral paradigm. According to Smith and Petley (2013), the behavioral paradigm is the consideration of short-term solutions such as forecasting and employment of physical structure/land-use to enhance preparedness and prevention actions (p. 16). Essentially, within the behavioral paradigm, a knee-jerk reaction is prompted to address a catastrophic event which often only produces short-term solutions to the problem, mainly geared to preparedness and prevention, rather than thinking hazard mitigation and long-term solutions i.e. the complexity paradigm. Therefore, following the Florida tornadoes, research and analysis of ways to mitigate losses would have been more appropriate, such as enhancing community resiliency and applying a hazard mitigation methodology focusing on risk analysis and employment of governmental controls to provide long-term solutions. Simmons and Sutter (2007) do just that by presenting collected research on the viability of having residents purchase the NOAA’s Weather Radio. In addition, they identified the potential for establishing shelters and/or altering building codes to further mitigate potential loss (p. 6). Overall, following the tornadoes of 2007, we identified the local community utilizing a behavioral paradigm. Now, let’s examine one of the associated risks within this case study and how we might be able to mitigate…

    Accord

    The Prices and Incomes Accord was an agreement between the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the Australian Labor Party government in1983. The Accord developed at a time when the only response to inflation appeared to be to slow down the economy. Employers were not party to the Accord. Unions agreed to restrict wage demands and the government pledged to minimize inflation. The government was also to act on the social wage. At its broadest this concept included increased spending on education as well as welfare. This was seen as a method to reduce inflation without reducing the living standards of Australians. At the beginning of the Accord, only one union, voted against the Accord. The Accord continued for the whole period of the Labor government through seven stages including, after 1993, enterprise bargaining.…

    Political Controversy: The First Amendment Of The US Constitution

    The first amendment of the US Constitution has come into a lot of political controversy because it gives us some of the very essential rights to be whom we want to be. Under the first amendment we as United States citizens have the right to “freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble”, which some people don’t want us to have these rights and will try to come up with laws to restrain us from using them so it can benefit their cause (Ivers, 2013). I feel that the government wants to have the power to keep us in control and be able to do what they want, when they want with us.…

    Rocking Horse Winner Thesis

    In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” we are introduced to a woman who author D.H Lawrence states, “was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny children, yet she felt they had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them.” When I dive into the psychology behind that statement, I come up with a thought that this beginning draws similarities to Lawrence’s own upbringing with his coal miner father and schoolteacher mother. Similarly the mother in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is disenchanted with her marriage and the way her life has turned out. In Lawrence’s own childhood he had parents who were suspected of treason and very status minded. (559) When I look at the relationship in the opening of the story between mother and children it is one of feeling burdened and having been ill prepared for child rearing and mother hood. This family seems completely motivated and driven by social status and superficial impressions. It seems to me that the children were brought into the world not by want or out of love but by obligation and social standards. What was a woman back then who did not raise a family and keep a home?…

    The Importance Of Levees During Hurricane Katrina

    During the Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it is believed that leaders decided to blow up the levees to save the cities and places that brought in the most money and instead try to direct the water towards the wetlands and marshlands. There are different ideas regarding this topic. It is said that leaders promised restitution to the people who would lose their homes. Many people heard explosions and reported it. Officials said they were transformers blowing up. There is more evidence that the levees were blown up then transformers.…

    Fourth Amendment Pros And Cons

    “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized,” (Bill of Rights). The Fourth Amendment states that people have the right to not have their persons or homes be searched by the government; however, this is not the case in today’s society. Even with this amendment, the police still refuse to confine to the rights of this amendment. In investigating the justifications of the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, one can conclude that the evaluations of the history of the Fourth Amendment has changed in modern applications and the effectiveness.…

    Difference Between Stop And Frisk

    Question #4 Benjamin Franklin once said, “He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.” As a society, we are repeatedly sacrificing our freedoms to increase our safety. One eye-catching example of this is relate to the Bill of Rights. The 4th Amendment of the Constitution gives U.S. citizens the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures without proper documentation or probable cause. In the City of New York, the Fourth Amendment has lost its power with the institution of the stop-and-frisk program.…

    The Tragic Outcome of a Salesman’s Dream

    The Tragic Outcome of a Salesman’s Dream

    Willy Loman is an aging salesman in “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller. He is married to his wife Linda, with Biff and Happy being his two sons. In the play, Willy tries to accomplish the American dream, but is only concerned about his past success which make him oversee the tragic position he is in and that his life and actions are a complete failure. This leads to the three major themes within the play; denial, contradiction and unhappiness. In the play, each individual of the Loman family lives in denial, whether about their position in real life, or to their relational conflicts. For example Willy Loman was denying the painful reality of his recent failure as a salesman because he was not capable of accepting the abominable position he was in and changing his critically wrong thinking about the honor and fame he pretended to have. The worst factor is that he only thought back to his previous success in his career which caused him to deny the reality that he has not achieved anything of real value, such as his obsession with a dream to become rich, famous and happy, which resulted in losing touch with reality and with himself. An example of this is when Charley, the Loman’s neighbor and Willy’s best friend, offered the old salesman a job when he got fired, but Willy’s egotism and self-importance got in the way, however, and he couldn’t bring himself to work for Charley, since this would be admitting failure. His sons Biff and Happy also adopted, to some degree, their father’s habit of denying and manipulating reality, which they displayed many times in their lives, until they also, ended up corrupting part of their lives and their minds. The one exception of this tendency was Linda who saw the reality and knew that things were going wrong and that her husband would soon be corrupted. Even though she could see the end coming, she kept the reality to herself and went along with Willy’s fantasies and even encouraged…
