Research Question:”how does the media influence our ideas of implicit bias, especially when it comes to ideas of race and criminality.”

Part 1

A.

C. News, F., 2017. Charlottesville White Nationalist Rally Blamed For 3 Deaths, Dozens Of Injuries. [online] Fox News. Available at: <https://www.foxnews.com/us/charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally-blamed-for-3-deaths-dozens-of-injuries> [Accessed 12 August 2017].

Part 2.

A.

In this article Fox News writes how “supposebly the white supremacist” group are the ones to begin charged of the killing. They go on to blame both sides of the riot saying the they are both at fault. They explain how trump and many government officials spoke out saying that both sides was in the wrong.

B.

In this article CNN writes how the white supremacy group has been the main problem when it came to the removal of the confederate monument. They talk about how many people all over did not agree with the violence that these white supremacy groups have started. They’ll out these white supremacy groups for what they are which are hateful people They announce to the worlds of the dangers of these groups.

 

Part 3.

A.

Throughout the Fox News article they put quotation marks around white supremacy as if it Is something that is not known. They use these quotation to denounce these groups in my eyes. They even use the title “Charlottesville White national rally blamed for 3 deaths, dozen injuries” This title in my eyes makes people believe that the white supremacy movement was not the one who committed these crimes being that they use the word “blamed”.  When someone uses the word blame it means that they are the ones who are being held responsible for these certain acts it kinda like they are being held responsible but are not the ones who actually did it. This article as a whole kinda tries to tell a half story blaming both sides. Fox News use their media to tell a side in which they try to say how both parties was reckless, while the many who were injured during the riot was majority of the counter protesters who wanted the statue to come down.  In this article as I read it I get this sense that they are basically saying that they had reasons to act the way they do. They give this sense of them being unsure of what is going on.

B.

In the article the CNN writes how pro white organizations are very dangerous. They explain how may government officials feel as if these pro white groups are dangerous and I agree. These Pro white groups are made to incite violence on people of different races. There goal is to incite hate against these different groups which makes them dangerous. CNN also goes to explain that they are dangerous , and how many government officials believe that they need to come together to try and dismantle these hate groups. CNN also doesn’t place all blame on the white nationalist groups. They place blame on the law officers , and some government officials being that they did not ensure the safety of both parties. They give a sense of them knowing what they are talking about , and gives the full truth.

Part 4

A.

“Charlottesville white nationalist rally blamed for 3 deaths, dozens of injuries”

“Right-wing blogger Jason Kessler had planned what he called a “pro-white” rally to protest Charlottesville’s decision to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a city park.”

“In May, a torch-wielding group that included prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer gathered around the statue for a nighttime protest, and in July, about 50 members of a North Carolina-based KKK group traveled there for a rally, where they were met by hundreds of counter-protesters”

B.

“We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK,” the vice president said while in Cartagena, Colombia. “These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”

“We come to you this morning to reassure you that the Commonwealth of Virginia and all of us that are in this together will not and do not condone white supremacists that brought their hatred and bigotry to the Commonwealth of Virginia,”

“The blame for today’s (Saturday’s) violence lies primarily with Charlottesville government officials and the police officers who failed to maintain law and order, protect the First Amendment rights of rally participants, and provide for their safety,”

Modern Day Effects of the Cold War (Legal Source)

Part 1:
40 N.C. J. Int’l L. & Com. Reg. 443 – COUNTERING STATE-SPONSORED CYBER ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Part 2:
In the legal source article, it discusses international espionage. Espionage itself is another way of saying spying. Espionage (spying) was popular during the Cold War for a period. One example was the Soviet Union obtaining intel of nuclear weapons through international espionage. Since the USSR collapsed, Russia’s threat potential has declined. A greater threat has emerged and that threat is China. America and China formed an international relationship by trading. Recently, China has been partaking in espionage as a way to harm the U.S economy in significant portions. For instance in 2012, the US government called out China for causing American companies to lose $250 billion dollars with an additional $114 billion dollars. After failed attempts to negotiate China from participating in such acts, The US increased security measures. A way America retaliates towards espionage and international attacks is by giving the perpetrator a taste of their own medicine. Today China and America are enduring a trade war between each other.

Part 3:
After the conclusion of the Cold War, Russia has mostly been out the picture whereas China has stepped up on America’s radar as an international threat. Because the two nations trade goods with each other, China has grown to be the 2nd richest country in the world under the United States. Unfortunately, business and trade does not mean friendship. On many occasions China has attacked the US with espionage through nefarious purposes to attack intelligence and the economy. What makes this attack more concerning is the US does little to nothing about this predicament which is highly costly and can be very detrimental during this time. The tariff war is costing America for we own China $1.1 trillion dollars in debt and Chinese espionage is costing America billions.

Part 4:
“China denounced the indictment, denying the charges and citing recent revelations by Edward Snowden to support the argument that the U.S. engages in its own cyber espionage, including collecting intelligence related to trade negotiations.”

“This Article utilizes China’s conduct of economic espionage against American companies as a case study, identifying relevant international law at issue in countering the theft of intellectual property, including both the legal obligations of a nation and the companies’ rights at stake, as well as the options for peaceful dispute settlements, countermeasures, and the dispute settlement mechanism set up by the World Trade Organization (“WTO”).”

General Keith Alexander, estimated that American companies have lost $250 billion in stolen information and another $114 billion in related expenses. Moreover, in March 2013, in an unprecedented break from diplomatic niceties, President Obama’s national security advisor, Thomas Donilon, publicly called out the Chinese government for the “cyber-enabled theft” of confidential American proprietary information.

Legal Source Entry

The legal source that I am using speaks about sex trafficking and prostitution. The article speaks about how minors are being treated as offenders instead of victims Keep in mind that these victims go through sexual mental and physical abuse and they are vulnerable to pimps and traffickers. According to the article they say that “ In order to stop the perpetuation and revictimization of sexually exploited youth, states should join the movement in passing safe Harbor laws, modeled on existing New York Law” so i’m assuming that more support is needed to help these kids get the support that they need to heal.In the article there was a girl named Nicolette who was Arrested for prostitution In New York and this wasnt the first time She was arrested in another city and was bailed out by her trafficker .The article made me understand that after her second arrest she was convicted  as a juvenile delinquent And was sent to a secure detention Facility In the New York State the age of consent is 17 years old however “Nicolette was only twelve years old at the time of arrest and  as a twelve-year-old Nicolette was unable to even consent to sex let alone sell it” Minors forced into prostitution are in between the prostitution laws And sexual activity laws. If a minor is unable to give consent to sex according to the state age consent law then that form of sex is considered as rape especially each time that child is being purchased. What makes me sad is that there are some juveniles that are being treated as Adult offenders because of their own sexual abuse while the person who is buying them is going scot free which is not fair if you ask me because that is the main reason why we have a lot of mentally Ill people in the streets because they have been abused over and over again without anyone to defend them . The reason why I use this legal source Is because some of these girls are often told Sweet lies so that they can fall into the Trap of prostitution and once they fall into that trap they realize that it is too late. There are some girls who are of age to give consent to these things that are spoken to boys That they think that actually likes them and they end up falling into a toxic relationship to the point of being mistreated, abused and guilt-tripped into doing things that they don’t want to do in the name of love.In certain countries young girls Are sometimes told that the job that  they’re going to do will help their families not knowing that that job that they are getting into is a hell fire.

Source entry four (4)

Part 1 

Reynolds, Glenn Harlan. “International Space Law: Into the Twenty-First Century.” SSRN,2 Mar.2015, papers.ssrn.com?so13?papers.cfm?abstract_id=2571912

Part 2

This article talked about space law problems, that will be needing sooner or later answers to, and what the solution or answer should be to some of these questions that will be asked or should be asking already. It addressed topics that concerned with environmental concerns, property rights , disclaimer of extraterritorial sovereignty, international cooperation, international trade issues etc. and so much more. More importantly in this is the governing of space, space is a totally different concept and is seen as such a vast place for someone to inhabit and up until now there hasn’t really been much prove of a place habitable to life in. However they focus on the question what happens if there was such a place since the universe is such a big place and we haven’t even discover half of it yet the. So, this article talked about this and more and how we should start thinking of these and of the what ifs.

Part 3

I agree with this text is telling us to start thinking of life outside in the universe what should be done, lawyers should start thinking and coming up with laws that can address this and what should be done if they come to us. According to the article it states” A logical next step would be for lawyers, scientist, and other interesting parties to begin thinking about how this contact would be managed if it should occur.”  A legal source just focusing on that specific law to that question who takes over who, when and where isn’t really found there wasn’t such source. So if the multiverse is real, what will happen to us or even them what will we do with the information? The quote illustrates that we should start thinking about that we need to think ahead we already are thinking of the multiverse as a theory and being real now what happens if such prove to discovering that the multiverse is truth, what will occur? I would tell the author how should we address this question? How will he address it?

A rhetorical feature is that this article is from 1992 and address the 21st century as the future so the credential of this article is not really so good it’s outdated because it’s from a long time and right now 2021 a lot has changed both in science and the state itself. I feel the author writing style was good it really talked of many topics that I see that is useful and many scientist might have this in mind when keep investigating there theories trying to find answers to the question of the multiverse when they read this paper. The purpose when writing this is for scientist or everyone, the government to asked questions and start thinking of them. However I find this article  credible because the question from many years ago has no answer to today, no legal source really focused on that question nothing in this century talks about that which gets me to think when will they start talking of it. If they already started talking of the multiverse and will not stop talking of it and made it clear they will keep investigating it until proven otherwise why not have lawyers start thinking of solutions/ answers to their questions.

Part 4

“Although the likelihood of this sort of event, quite literally, is incalculable, the potential consequences are significant enough that a bit of preventive lawyering may be in order.”

“Our technology has grown in almost magical fashion over the past 2,000 years, but foreign policy is still practiced pretty much as it was during the Roman Empire”
