...solving works and what kind of job duties each person has, when what is shown on television is not always reality. Take the shows Law and Order: SVU and Hawaii 5-0. These shows reveal the aspects of detectives’ everyday lives inside the job. They have a high tolerance for violence and depict an unrealistic representation of certain occupations. Methodology: Reading two essays, researching television media and genres, observing two shows and participating in a Roundtable Discussion on American Media Images (RDAMI) were the steps I took in putting together my ideas on television media. “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie and “Where Have All the Parents Gone” by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead were the two essays I read for this paper. They develop ideas on what has an impact on American people and culture. I observed two episodes of two different television shows. Law and Order: SVU was one of the shows. Law and Order: SVU is a show about sexually based crimes, SVU meaning “Special Victims Unit”. “Friending Emily” and “Manhattan Vigil” were the two episodes with the main characters being senior detectives Olivia Benson and Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, detectives Nick Amara and Amanda Rollins, Sergeant John Munch and Captain Donald Cragen. Hawaii 5-0 was the other show I observed. Hawaii doesn't have its own state police force but the Governor has set up a special task force, which becomes known as "Five-0", to investigate serious crimes on the islands. “Popilikia”, which stands for misfortune...

...presents to the audience – ratings and financial gain matter more than change. In the past women in crime television series had never been portrayed as the heroes who save the day, but as either the woman who stood behind the male police officer, a paralegal or secretary who helps out with the investigations, or, most commonly as the victim. In the same way, homosexuals and transgenders were hardly ever depicted in these crime television dramas and if they were, they were dramatically stereotyped for comic effect or portrayed as promiscuous and having addictive tendencies. Times change and so do the content of the shows we continue to watch. I plan exploring the portrayal of women in the crime television dramas, CSI: Miami (2002) and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) (1999). Although women have come a long way since the late nineteenth century in changing the way they are perceived at home and in the workplace, sometimes some people cannot help but automatically link a woman to subservience. Once upon a time, a woman involved in solving crimes was usually the wife of the commissioner, the widow of a slain relative of the main character, or an elderly woman who solved crimes between knitting projects—just for fun. These women could also be oddities, Julie from The Mod Squad (1968) had been homeless and the daughter of a prostitute, while the women of Charlie’s Angels (1976) left their respective police departments in...

...December 12, 2012 The television shows I watched were Law and Order Special Victims Unit (SVU), Criminal Minds and NCIS Los Angeles. For Law and Order, I watched season 12, episode 23. It had aired on April 20 2011. Its duration time was an hour. Criminal Minds, I watched season 8, episode 11; it had aired on December 12 2012. It duration time was 42 minutes. Lastly NCIS was season 4, episode 9 and that aired on December 11 2012. Its duration time was an hour also. When watching this shows, I noticed that there was at least one woman playing a lead character, whether she was victim or one of the detectives who were trying to solve the crime committed. However Law and Order SVU was the only show I observed that had a juvenile delinquent playing one of the lead characters. In the Law and Order SVU, the teenage boy was found naked asleep in a woman’s bed apparently waiting for her return so that he can rape and kill her. When taken into custody, they find out that this wasn’t his first homicide; in fact this delinquent has been raping and killing women prior to this event. As the detectives dig deeper, they discover that the teenage boy was molested when he was younger by his babysitter. They were several women portrayed as victims in this episode and none were offenders. The offender was a juvenile but no victims were juveniles Then there was Criminal Minds, in this episode the FBI agents head south to investigate a fast moving criminal who is trying to replicate another...

...Special Education A. The six key components are as follows: 1. Zero Reject/FAPE: This says that all children ages 6-17, no matter what their physical/mental ability, are guaranteed the right to a free public education. 2. Nondiscriminatory Identification and Evaluation: This was put into place so that a child could not be placed into special education because of things such as a language barrier. Because of this component, for example, a child would not be assessed in English if their primary language was Arabic. 3. Individualized Education Program (IEP): This says that every student must be given a customized plan for their education. Each students IEP must do the following; present levels of educational performance, measurable annual goals, objective criteria and evaluation procedures, specific special education services, extent of participation in general education and explanation of non-participation, modifications to general education classrooms, and projected dates of initiation and length of services. 4. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE): This means that all children, with and without disabilities, should be education together unless it is not what is best for the child. 5. Due Process: A system of checks and balances to make sure children with disabilities are treated fairly. This includes; written parental consent for evaluation of special education, written parental permission for placement in special education, parents rights to...

The scenario entails about a high school principal refusing to provide special education to a severely disabled tenth-grade student. The principal is very prominent as she worked as a special education teacher and an assistant principal in a wealthy school district. Based on the presented scenario, this evaluation will assess the possibility of ruling in court as well as give an opinion on the matter. Keywords: special education, principal, parent, disabilities, court Special Education for Student with Disabilities Debbie Young is a high school principal of esteem. Not only was she a special education teacher, but she was also an assistant principal of a wealthy school district in the South. Young was approached by the parent of a disabled student named Johnathan to enroll her son in the district. Johnathan is severely disabled with multiple disabilities that require constant care by a specialized nurse. His is mentally disabled, has a seizure disorder, and has quadriplegia.

...items, such as the popular “Pearl Lobster Roll with Shoestring Fries.” Rebecca filed a law suit against her former sous chef, Ed McFarland, alleging that he infringed on her restaurant identity. Furthermore, Rebecca claimed that Ed had a fiduciary obligation to keep the secrets of the business confidential and refrain from duplicating the recipes and identity of her restaurant. Rebecca further alleged that Ed tried to reproduce Pearl’s success on the upper east side of Manhattan by copying every element of her bar including the atmosphere, the furniture, the paint job and even the Caesar salad dressing. Any restaurant business should work to protect their intellectual property so as to avoid a situation similar to the one described in the critical incident. This restaurant has several issues that fall under Intellectual property which is a product of human intellect that is intangible but valuable in the marketplace. There are four major issues that impact Rebecca's organizational survivability in several different ways including trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. Patent - method of cooking such as special oil for cooking the fries, a process of controlling inventory, a special stove used in the restaurant. There is no information in the case indicating that a special method or process has been used to cook any of the dishes prepared by Rebecca. Copyright - menu, specials list, names of dishes, published cookbooks. Rebecca could have a claim her Caesar salad...

...Code of Civil Procedure Assignment II “Civil Court has Inherent Jurisdiction to take cognizance of all dispute of Civil Nature except when barred.” -Siddhesh S Pradhan -241 -Division C -BBA LLB Year 4 INTRODUCTION Jurisdiction means the power or authority of a Court of law to hear and determine a cause or matter.[1] It is the power to entertain, deal with and decide a suit, an action, petition or other proceeding.[2] In Smt Ujjambai v. State of UP[3] it was stated that exclusion of jurisdiction means prevention or prohibition to the court not to entertain or try any matter though the dispute is civil in nature. Jurisdiction is a key question for the court which goes to the root of the case and decides the fate of a matter either at a preliminary stage or on merit. A division bench of the Supreme Court in Chandrabhai K. Bhoir v. Krishna A. Bhoir observed, “In any view of the matter, an order passed without jurisdiction would be a nullity. It will be a coram non judice. It is non est in the eye of law. Principles of res judicata would not apply to such cases.”[4] Thus, Jurisdiction of a Court means the extent of authority of a Court to administer justice prescribed with reference to the subject-matter, pecuniary value and local limits.[5] JURISDICTION OF CIVIL COURTS UNDER SECTION 9 of the CPC Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 states that, “The Court shall (subject to the provisions herein contained) have jurisdiction to try all suits of civil nature...

At the age of 2 I noticed that she was not speaking like other children her age and I also noticed she was not catching on to basic social skills that other kids were doing. Kids her age in her day care class we asking for things in three word sentances and beign able to pull down their pants when they went potty. Nadia had extreme difficulty in all these areas. I started out by taking her to the doctor and expressed my concerns and then he suggest we see a speech therapist and from there we went to see a pediatric neuropsychologist who diagnosted Nadia with pervasive development delay and said we should see help from the department of education as they have intervention for kids her age. At the time I was a single parent and also active duty in the US Army and did not know how this child was about to change my life and how I viewed kids with any disabilities. She was finally at the age of 7 diagnosed with Expressive Language Delay and ADD with some developmental delays. All this was new to me and I did not know how this would affect my child in the public education system. From each grade Nadia had a hard time concentrating, being at grade level with English and Math. She also had short term memory issues and being able to...

Enron and the Special Purpose Entity. Use or Abuse? The Real Problem - The Real Focus Abstract In December of 2001, Enron Corporation filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; one of the largest corporate bankruptcy filings at that time. When the investigations commenced and the tangled Enron web was unraveled, it was discovered that Enron had perpetrated a very sophisticated form of accounting fraud through its repeated use of what are referred to as Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”). In their most basic forms, SPEs are business entities formed for the purpose of conducting a well specified activity such as construction of a gas pipeline, or collection of a specific group of accounts receivable. However, because of their complex nature, SPEs can be used to manipulate a corporation’s financial results, which was the primary use for which Enron employed the SPE structure. As a result, the investment and financial community has cast a dark cloud over the special purpose entity, depicting the SPE as an inherently evil structure whose only purpose is to...

...Education of Individuals with Disability Name: Institution: Education of Individuals with Disability History of Special Education In the early 18th century, people with disability were often ignored, obscured, or put to death. First efforts to provide education for disabled students were focused on students with sensory problems such as the deaf and blind. During the 19 and early 20th century, schools that were specialized in providing education to students with disability emerged in United States and Europe. The extremely published story of Helen Keller influenced the introduction of education for disabled people in America. In 1887, Anne Sullivan who was Helen’s teacher said that he will not give up in offering education to the deaf and the blind, and she succeeded in teaching a five year old Helen how to communicate (Ashbaker, 2011, p. 25). Prior to 1965, there were no free education services provided to students with serious disabilities. These students were barred from attending school. Most of the students with severe disabilities used to put up in institutions. Many students who had mild disabilities and were not in a position to complete high school without any help did not have any other alternative other than dropping out of school. To appreciate developments that have placed disabled students in normal learning classroom, it is important to understand the legislative history that led to this move. Back in 1954, there was a civil rights case that involving...
