Therefore, the punishment was a way of cleansing the criminal from such defilement. As additional evidence of the religious nature of the penal law in the medieval Europe, some secular codes bore passages that were moral in nature with quotations drawn directly from the Scriptures (Brundage 18)
In a number of these principles, the church was borrowing much from the lessons drawn from the later Roman Empire. It is conclusive and arguable that the ecclesiastical courts were humanizing the law (Geremek 56)
The ecclesiastical courts protected the helpless people in the society like women, orphans, and children. It also handled a broad range of semi-secular offenses like forgery, perjury, libel, and falsification of testimony, weights, and measures among other crimes (Merback 8)
Thus, an eye witness to a crime needs to be vetted to prevent the inclusion of inaccurate observations as evidence in a case. Inaccurate observations "often occur in casual conversation and in everyday observation of the world around us" primarily because our perceptions are not as reliable as we may think (Schutt, 2010, p
While selective mutism isn't well understood, it has been reported in the literature since 1877 (McCracken, 2002), when a doctor by the name of Kussmaul described a case of "aphsia voluntaria." (Fairbanks, 1997)
When the parents took him to the pediatrician, the doctor could not get him to speak (Rapin, 2001). While selective mutism isn't well understood, it has been reported in the literature since 1877 (McCracken, 2002), when a doctor by the name of Kussmaul described a case of "aphsia voluntaria
He communicated only nonverbally with his father and siblings. When the parents took him to the pediatrician, the doctor could not get him to speak (Rapin, 2001)
Typically the problem emerges early in the child's education, often coinciding with the start of preschool or school attendance (Rapin, 2001). The children don't actively choose to be mute, but become mute when present in situations that produce anxiety within themselves (Roberts, 2002)
'" New York State law, like laws in many other states, supports this position. Section 79-i of the New York State Civil Rights Law, passed in 1971, allows health care workers to "refuse to perform or assist" in abortion procedures "contrary to the conscience or religious beliefs" of the workers (Callahan, 1998)
The researchers felt that nursing research on this topic was importance because abortion is reported to be the second most common surgery performed in the United States. The study (Wilson and Haynie, 2008) revealed that the majority of these women suffered in silence because they were afraid that others would judge them
Thus it is evident that a human being does not commit violence for no reason. They are so much deprived, suppressed or wronged that they think that violence is the last solution and nothing can be decided on diplomatic tables (Decision-making & Managing Conflict, n
Thus, people may enter a violent behavior to get a selective benefit. This selective benefit can be in form of maintaining individual status, or promoting an individual or offering them protection against a severe action (Ginges, and Atran, 2009)
) is much more than the benefits (getting a slight increase in pay due to promotion). However, if an employee or any other individual is unfairly treated for too long, he loses patience (Keefer and Khemani, 2005)
However, decisions like offering quota to a particular race, promoting single gender, putting age limit etc. are decisions that can often end up in employee violent behavior (Surowiecki, 2005)
Many of us will decide to have surgery just to keep up with the surgeries of others. Surgeons reported to me that this is often how they get patients" (Blum 2005)
Fifty-one-year-old mother Sarah Burge, for example, grew famous for becoming a talk show regular as the 'Human Barbie,' based solely on the number of elective cosmetic procedures she had undergone. Burge "holds the Guinness World Record for undergoing the most plastic surgeries" (Duerson 2012)
The high school pupil is preparing to return to classes with a new-look nose, chin and ears after undergoing plastic surgery, aged 14. The teenager from Georgia, who has been haunted by taunts of 'Dumbo' and 'Elephant Ears' since the age of six, had the surgical treatment in an attempt to curtail the abuse and end her misery" (Goddard 2012)
7 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed and Americans spent $13.2 billion on these procedures, an astounding 457% increase since 1997" (Haas 2007)
' Normalizing elective cosmetic surgery is particularly damaging given the very real risks associated with the procedure. Tissue death, infection, and the risk of bleeding are inherent to any surgical procedure (Marcus 2010)
Although the industry often portrays this as an empowering decision of women to exercise control over their bodies and the aging process (and the majority of patients remain women), the motivation for cosmetic surgery has been linked to low self-esteem and body dysmorphic disorder in personality surveys of patients (Haas 2007). One follow-up study of plastic surgery patients found that patients had higher anxiety scores than those in a control group and higher rates of social phobia (Newell 2007)
