Allison, I believe that what you are saying about the law is very understandable. We both are pretty much on the same page with opinions on the law, and I thought that was actually really cool and interesting. I do believe that the law is very confusing, and tricky, but just as long as we know them we know that we should not be breaking them. I really liked how you said that our government should give us our independence and freedom, but only to a certain extent, because yes, I believe that our government would be taken advantage of, and we would not live in a safe environment. I also agree on the criminal aspect of it. Criminals are being set free, and I believe that criminal acts should be taken more seriously. If they break the law, shouldn’t there be some kind of constant consequence? There is a lot of good but yet bad things about the law. When will we ever understand? -britney

Taylor, I am so shocked and got taken away when I continuously read your blog. It’s a very interesting choice of topic, to speak about the police, but I do agree with every word you are saying. The police actually feed off a sense of intimidation, knowing that there are cops who are crooked, mean, and use their authority as an advantage, and in that situation of the law, that does not make its’ people feel safe. There have been many encounters that I have been through with the police that should not have been encountered, by them using their authority over a citizen like me. I understand the duties of their job, but I believe that they should take into consideration on what they are actually doing, before they actually take action. The United States could be a land where dreams come true, and where freedom is granted, but there are some crazy things that do go on, when the law takes place! -britney

What I think about the law?

I think that the law in America, depending on the situation, is fairly equal. When it comes to certain situations such as safety, I believe by laws, America is very aware of its citizens’ safety. Things such as murder, robbery, drug abuse, and basically anything illegal, has consequences that our country offers, and that is when I believe that the law is an advantage. The freedom of speech, religion, and anything personal, is well rounded and respected by citizens as well. Feeling safe in your own environment is a major concern to me, and to the people surrounding me.

But then again, there are parts of our country’s laws that make me feel unsafe and unprotected as well. Unstoppable crime that goes on, unknowingly, physical violence, rape, and war are some examples of what our country cannot control, and some of these topics make me feel unprotected because by law, some of these things cannot be controlled.

But all in all, I believe that the United States of America is a very balanced country. Every country has their pro’s and con’s about specific laws, and such, but I believe that our laws are very understandable and very enforced toward its’ people. Unlike other countries, I’m glad that our country enforces laws, and is not a straight up anarchy where the country is lawless! I would not like to live in an environment, where there are no laws, whatsoever. So, in a nutshell, I believe our laws are fair, compromising, and understanding. Although some of the laws may not make sense, and may seem silly, it is for our own safety, and for our own good. Our country is constantly changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but we always have room for change!

What I think of Lawyers

What I think of Lawyers

What I think about lawyers, is that they just want the money! They may have the passion and the care towards their clients, but I believe that they are all about the money. Lawyers are supposed to do what they’re job is about. It’s all about protecting their clients, and like in the movie, Erin Brockavich, the 40% of the settlement, went to the lawyer, which I believe is non-sense. That makes it seem like the clients owe him a service tax, which should not be appropriate for the clients to pay. From previous experiences with lawyers, all I have ended up with was empty pockets, and a case that I could have solved myself, by speaking with the truth and with the truth being my very own alibi. On a brighter side, I do appreciate the work of a lawyer. I believe they are really intelligent, and put themselves at a great risk. I just don’t appreciate all the fees and charges that the clients have to go through in order for them to work for the client. Most situations, already deal with financial issues to begin with, and coming up with the extra money for a lawyer for their help, just isn’t the most convenient idea for most situations. So all in all, I do appreciate the hard work and dedication of a lawyer, but I just feel that there needs to be some kind of change or plan for the financial part of getting a lawyer. Having a lawyer is supposed to make the client feel helped, and not burdened! Lawyers need to realize that the fees and charges that their client has to pay in order for their service, plays a really big impact on the client’s decision on having that specific person defending their case!
