What I think of the Legal System

My definition of the, legal system is a panel of individuals that are deciding on your punishment to your decision of an act.

I feel that the Legal system is a savior when it is not corrupted or altered. I feel that this is the only rational way to decide on another individual’s wrong doing. The process of it is also correct, even though it does take a long time for the decision to even be made. Of course there are many that think that the legal system is a joke and feels that it needs to be changed. I feel that it is not that the legal system needs to be changed but of practice of lawyers and government officials. I feel that a lot abuse makes the legal system not work correctly.

There should be some type of control of all this abuse. I believe that the abuse has gone as far as to the individual that is practicing it is not taking it seriously and just trying to alter it just to win a case. I feel that money has taken a big role to the lack of pride for the legal system and that is the reason for others to think that the legal system is nothing but a joke to America.
Businesses abuse the legal system to keep monopolizing the economy. They go cut corners just to receive what they think is rightfully theirs. This type of abuse also affects America way of living. If the legal system continues to be abused there would be two things that may happen. One, I feel that there would be ciaos and it would go back to the western law. Second, I feel that the government will find another law just so the lawyers would find a way to go around them.

The number of crimes that involve business continue to grow as changes in business practices and technology offer new opportunities for wrongdoers to benefit from illegal or questionable activities” (Essentials of business law, Anthony L. Liuzzo, pg. 37)

Myspace Hoax: Week 2
The situation of the thirteen year old that committed suicide, due to the Myspace hoax is another reason why our nation is coming to the point that we cannot defend ourselves without getting the laws involve. This child had received a message by a fictional profile. Later the profile was sending messages that insulted and humiliated the child. Later the child took it upon herself to end her life.

I don’t understand the generation of today. I feel that today’s generation is very weak. I am thirty years old and during my childhood I was harassed and also was put in situations that ended with violent confrontation. I never had the intentions to end my life. I found ways to try to become tougher and deal with the situation.

I feel that this girl was never exposed to the real world. I feel that the parents neglected to make her understand that in social networks there are a lot of individuals that don’t have any feelings for others. I feel that this child should have never been allowed to even participate in these networks. I only blame the parents for the child to react the way she did.
I am shocked that the parents attempted to even try to put legal action on the individuals that took role of this hoax. I am not surprised that they even try to put criminal actions to the parents of the other individuals.

As I was reading the article, I was surprised that a lawyer commented that the victim’s family had gone wrong about all this. That surprises me because it only tells me that they had some sort of chance to be able to put criminal charges on another when it was the parents fault. I guess in America you are able to find justice, even when it is your fault.

The real feelings about Lawyers!

Everybody has an opinion about lawyers. My feelings towards lawyers may not differ from the high rate of opinions that say, “Lawyers are nothing but blood suckers.” Those are just opinions that I have and others in a minority environment has as well.

The real truth about lawyers is they are the reason why we still have a judicial system in this country. Lawyers make the world go round. Love them or hate them. They either make your life a nightmare or they can fulfill all your dreams.
So why is it that a high percent of individuals in today society have a problem with lawyers? Well, like myself, I do not like to have an individual to sneak around my life and gather information to either incriminate me or improve my situation. I am also annoyed of an individual to be able to determine the future of my life. You could say that I have the mentality of a cowboy. If something wrong happens to me, I and I alone would like to take care of the situation my way. Is that the way to handle anything in today’s society?

I also feel that individuals are annoyed with lawyer for the fact that there is a lot of jealousy. Hard working, 9 to 5, blue collar individuals see these lawyers with the fancy cars and large homes and dressed in designer clothing have a little of jealous in them. Blue collar society just wishes that their lives could be as simple as a Lawyer. Lawyer’s life, in my opinion is not as easy as they make it seem. Having to live a life, working twenty four hours a day and not being able to have a second with his or her family is not easy for me. To have to juggle around with a person’s life is not , easy life.
