Analyzing Fredericks's Argument

498 Words1 Page

In this scenario, Fredericks would in fact be liable for his dog, Sport, biting Vincent. This scenario is an example of negligence, or an accidental event without willful intent that caused harm to another party (textbook p.262). Fredericks did not intend for his dog to bite one of his hotel guests, as he had him for the sole purpose as a watch dog. However, because of Fredericks negligence towards this outcome, he will be in fact liable. There are multiple elements that must be proved in order to justify that the hotel owner, Fredericks, was negligent. These five elements consist of duty, breach of duty, cause in fact, proximate cause and actual damages. It is the duty of all parties to act reasonably and to not impart unreasonable risk

    In this essay, I will argue that though Strawson’s Basic Argument is sound, society has constructed a more applicable version of the term “acting morally responsible” which holds us all accountable for our actions. Firstly, I will provide a brief overview of the Basic Argument as well as distinguish between Strawson’s and society’s definitions of being morally responsible. Secondly, I will justify Strawson’s first premise. Finally, I will raise and refute the response of author Ian McEwan.

    Héctor L Carral, a multimedia engineer wrote an article titled Stop Saying Technology is causing Social Isolation for The Huffington Post. The author of the article has a biased option, therefore does not include any research that would refute his argument. Carral states “it’s only obvious to blame them [technology] for some of society’s problems. Carral also states I believe that accusing technology (and, again, especially smartphones) of ruining social interaction and even all kinds of experiences is, to say the least, quite wrong and misguided. There was an obvious division between the commenters who agree with Carral and those who disagree with his argument. The demographics of commentators. From observing the occupations that the commenters listed, it was apparent the people who were against Hector Carral’s article were parents and educators while the people who agreed with his

    After his escape from slavery, Frederick Douglass chose to promote the abolition of slavery by speaking about the actions and effects that result from that institution. In an excerpt from a July 5, 1852 speech at Rochester, New York, Douglass asks the question: What to the slave is the Fourth of July? This question is a bold one, and it demands attention. The effectiveness of his oration is derived from the personal appeals in which he engages the listener.

    Pets have been a part of the American life for forever. It comes to no surprise that the most popular pet in the United States is the dog. There are over 68 million dogs owned with a range of 130 dog breeds. Over the past ten years, it has become clear that the rate of dog bites has steadily been rising. There are over 4.7 million reported cases of dog bites each year in the United States alone. State officials have been hounding the dog world for years over this issue. Instead of blaming certain dog breeds for violence, people should instead be looking at the owners themselves (Pet-Owner Liability).

    In accordance to English’s view, we do not “owe” our parents anything. Through her argument by analogy, English attempts to not simply just debunk the traditional “debt model” of filial obligation, but rather replace it with the “friendship model.” She begins by differentiating favors (such as agreeing to taking in a neighbor’s mail while they are away on vacation) and voluntary sacrifices (such as mowing a neighbor’s lawn while they are away on vacation without their asking). She maintains that it is favors that create “debts,” and that voluntary sacrifices require no reciprocation—to do so would be “supererogatory” on their part. Voluntary sacrifices, instead, create friendship. English continues her argument explaining that because friendship

    Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an autobiography written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1845.

    This aspect is defined as unreasonable conduct for the situation at hand. This includes carless acting or omissions which cause harm to another person/party. Airbnb’s policy depends on the location of which you reside in to establish negligence. For example, if you live outside the U.S, it does not affect Airbnb’s liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence. Although, if you reside in the EU, the Airbnb Platform will be liable under statutory provisions for intent and gross negligence by Airbnb or any other representatives or affiliates. In addition, they are also deemed liable for any negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations. After researching negligence related to the Airbnb Platform, I found an interesting article which I will discuss. A 51-year old woman is seeking to hold Airbnb accountable for an alleged sexual assault by a host who was not properly screened. The background of this story is that this woman rented a room from a host who’s been previously accused of domestic violence. Airbnb claimed it has conducted a background check on this man but since he was not convicted, they allowed him to be a host. As this event is still ongoing, the host has been removed from the platform until further notice. Since this case was a one-of-a-kind in relation to Airbnb, I decided to discuss it since the plaintiff was suing Airbnb for

  • Frederick Douglass Chapter 6 Analysis

    596 Words  | 2 Pages

    The overall tone of Chapter 6, in the book The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, is insentient. Insentient means incapable of feeling or inanimate. He simply is spiritless when he writes this chapter. At the end of chapter 6 Douglass wrote about how a slave named Mary was whipped so often she would bleed. “I have seen Mary contending with the pigs for the offal thrown into the street. So much was Mary kicked and cut to pieces, that she was oftener called “pecked” than by her name”(Douglass page 31). The way he wrote it was as if he didn’t flinch at the awful details of her being whipped. A less disturbing part of his life that he wrote about was when Mrs. Auld got in trouble for teaching him his A, B, C’s. Mr. Auld said it was unlawful and unsafe to teach a slave. Mr. Auld also used mean names to refer to Douglass. Even when Douglass heard them, then realized the white man's power to enslave black man after he didn’t seem very hurt. He took it to heart but didn’t act out. I think Douglass was very controlled which made him seem unattached

    Third, you should contact a firm of personal injury lawyers. The legal issues surrounding dog bites are often complex because most states (but not all) are strict liability jurisdictions. This means that dog owners are civilly liable for the dog bite as long as the victim neither trespassed nor provoked the dog. In some states, liability is automatic, while in others there are limitations upon it. A dog bite victim should seek counsel to determine if they reside in a strict liability state and to ensure they receive the maximum compensation allowed under the law.
