From the employer point of view, the covenants-not-to-compete agreement is to protect the company’s brand and to prevent their competition from learning their trade secrets. In many cases, preventing old employees from encouraging investors to sponsors their new company based on previous relationships. As an employee, I would argue that a covenant- not- to- compete must not unjustifiably burden the employee’s right to make a living. This means that the agreement must be reasonable in its scope and duration.
Non-compete agreements are usually found in employments contracts in where a company wants to prevent their employees from working for a competing company. The focus of the non-compete agreement is to protect a company’s business interest and trade secrets but, a non-compete covenant must be laboriously drafted to follow the state’s regulation in order to be enforced in court. There is an enormous discrepancy when it comes to cases that deal with non-compete agreements since it deals with revising if the non-compete agreement was lawful to begin with; courts do not have a consistent approach to this. A lot of companies request the courts to enforce the covenant but, in most cases, the agreement is unenforceable due to the unethical and unlawful
An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined. The first piece Bush Remarks Roil Debate over Teaching of Evolution written by Elizabeth Bumiller, is an explanation. Bumiller addresses her points using facts rather than opinions, she also says, “Recalling his days as Texas governor, Mr. Bush said in the interview, according to a transcript, “I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught.”(2), this signifies that this is an explanation and not an argument since he sees both sides instead of choosing one. For
I think the number one cost of the American civil war was social because first off there was a lot of people dying in the war, over 600,000 Americans died in the civil war. The second cost of the American Civil war is political because the North and the South were divided. The south did not want to abolish slavery but the north did. There were two nations: Union and Liberty, and Union and Slavery. Abraham Lincoln who was running for president during the war wanted to end slavery but there was always disagreements. The third cost of the American Civil war is economic because it affected everyone and their life. The economy was bad because of the war will make reconstruction
The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution states, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him.”
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe”( Douglass). This famous quote epitomizes the philosophies of Frederick Douglass, in which he wanted everyone to be treated with dignity; if everyone was not treated with equality, no one person or property would be safe harm. His experience as a house slave, field slave and ship builder gave him the knowledge to develop into a persuasive speaker and abolitionist. In his narrative, he makes key arguments to white abolitionist and Christians on why slavery should be abolished. The key arguments that Frederick Douglass tries to vindicate are that slavery denies slaves of their identity, slavery is also detrimental for the slave owner, and slavery is ungodly.
In the United States criminal justice system, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. With this concept in mind, the accused are given many rights to a fair trial. One of those rights falls under the sixth amendment in the United States Constitution. The confrontation clause reads, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” West’s Encyclopedia of American Law defines the confrontation clause as, “A fundamental right of a defendant in a criminal action to come face-to-face with an adverse witness in the court’s presence so the defendant has a fair chance to object the testimony of the witness, and the opportunity to cross-examine him or her” (Lehman & Shirelle, 2005, p. 85) The confrontation clause is essential to due process and pertains to the federal and state court. In some circumstances the accused is not being given the right to confront witness testimony face-to-face because the justice system grants exceptions to this constitutional right.
It is human nature to look out for one’s individual self-interests. This vested interest is what minimizes unjust treatment by other parties and ensures success. Leverage is priceless when presented with an unfair employment scenario. In the case of an employer and employee relationship, too much power on either side can quickly become detrimental. Balancing this power is no easy task and holds no single solution. In this essay, I will propose that the contract at will, or employment at will, is one viable solution that can legitimately benefit both the employer and the employee. My view on this issue is one that is often the minority, as there has been a significant amount of criticism over the contract at will. In a society that is fearful of large and overly powerful corporations, the idea of at will employment can seem absurd to some. Many people believe the contract at will is an easy attempt for corporations to abuse their power against the working man. My arguments that follow will demonstrate how just-cause requirements are not always in the best interests of employees. My defense will include many of the points made by Epstein and other scholars, as well legal cases and my personal opinions. Through the use of the contract at will, I will argue that employment operations can become more efficient and equitable for all parties.
There are many propositions on the 2016 election ballot to be voted on by the California people this year. I picked a proposition that I feel strongly about which is Proposition 56, that if passed will increase the tax on tobacco products.
In the article, On Being an Atheist, H.J. McCloskey seeks to disprove theistic beliefs by debating arguments for God. However, before even beginning to examine the arguments, McCloskey is on the defense; defining theism as uncomfortable and assuming that theists should be miserable in their beliefs. After making these statements, McCloskey begins his debate by calling the theistic arguments “proofs”; specifically, McCloskey aims to argue against the proofs of cosmological arguments, teleological arguments, and the argument from design. But, through McCloskey’s repeated use of the term “proof”, he unknowingly provides a theist with their first rebuttal: that a theist would not use the term “proof”, as these arguments are not proof, but rather
The United States stands for liberty, justice, and freedom. Towards the end of the 18th century, fifty delegates gathered together at the Constitutional Convention. The goal was to effect “great consequences for the cause of liberty throughout the world” (Foner, 263). The Pro-Constitutional arguments will be addressed in my paper, and then my personal reflection. Does the Constitution stand for liberty, for all?
The Investiture conflict was based off of the desire that secular rulers expand their authority by allowing the church officials to be dependent upon them for their lands and religious offices. With this development underway it caused the effect of the state to increase its power but only at the expense of taking power away from the church. With this effect taking place it did not sit well with the pope nor other churches causing them to fight against it. The movement from the secular began under Otto I, who forced the current pope to crown him emperor of The Holy Roman Empire, causing the religious backlash in earnest as a result of the reforms which developed out of the monastery at Cluny. In 1073, Pope Gregory VII took office, he was against
There were many conflicts in the Crucible by Arthur Miller written in 1953. Many conflicts were between relationships between a couple or a group of people. Because others won’t forgive you until you forgive yourself; John will need to forgive himself and accept what he did, and then try and work things out with Elizabeth.
“The idea is that society rests on an agreement that we make with one another.” This, is perhaps, the strongest of three statements made during a dialog between Socrates and Crito. Socrates makes it clear that he is a patriot to the city which he has known his entire life. It can be argued that his friend Crito does not share in his patriotism. His concern is more about his own appearances, money, and property, as opposed to doing what is right in the eyes of the law. This was evident in his escape plan presented to Socrates.

The program can make an employer to save and create job opportunities while remaining competitive and stimulating company’s growth. How is this done?
