Human Rights [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Appeals to human nature have, of course, proven to be highly controversial and typically resist achieving the degree of consensus required for establishing the legitimacy of any moral doctrine founded upon an account of human nature. Appeals to national sovereignty should not provide a legitimate means for nation-states to permanently opt out of their fundamental human rights-based commitments. For example, combining the appeal to fundamental interests with the aspiration of securing the conditions for each individual leading a minimally good life would be complicated by social and cultural diversity. www.iep.utm.edu /h/hum-rts.htm   (10683 words)

MQUP catalogue: Coates, The Marshall Decision and Native Rights To characterize an applicant's claim correctly, a court should consider such factors as the nature of the action which the applicant is claiming was done pursuant to an aboriginal right, the nature of the governmental regulation, statute or action being impugned, and the practice, custom or tradition being relied upon to establish the right. In the Nova Scotia of 1760, the Mi'kmaq and their Sakamows would have appreciated and understood the position that the British were in and what their objectives were. In this case, therefore, the Court will consider the actions which led to the appellant's being charged, the fishery regulation under which she was charged and the practices, customs and traditions she invokes in support of her claim. www.mqup.mcgill.ca /books/marshall/d02-97.htm   (12267 words)

Lords Hansard Written Answers text for 22 Nov 2001 As my right honourable friend, the Lord President of the Council made clear on 7 November, during his Statement in the House of Commons on the Government's White Paper on House of Lords reform, the Government are looking forward to consultation and discussion on the nature of the list system to be used. The Government have made no final decision as to the nature of the list to be used.

Encyclopedia: Daoist Rather than appeal to others to take action for a certain cause--regardless of its importance or validity--one would instead understand that simply by believing in the cause, and letting their belief manifest itself in their actions, one is bearing their share of the burden of their social movement. In other words, by trusting our nature rather than our mental contrivances, we can find contentment without a life of constant striving against forces real and imagined. Wu Wei works once we trust our human "design," which is perfectly suited for our place within nature. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Daoist   (1180 words)

Vision - Reality Bites Fox Television’s Love Cruise started with 3,000 applicants, who were sifted down to the 16 singles selected to cruise the Caribbean in a carefully orchestrated soap opera. First there was Candid Camera, an amusing television program that gave us the lighter side of human nature as people were caught expressing themselves in various situations, unaware of the hidden camera. But today Candid Camera is no longer strong enough for the appetites of most television audiences, who hunger for ever-more-edgy entertainment. www.vision.org /jrnl/0206/realitybites.html   (1803 words)

Briarwood -- Caroline Dormon Nature Preserve Several months before her death they suggested that she will Briarwood to the Foundation for Preservation of the Caroline Dorman Nature Preserve, Inc. Within a decade the Foundation completed a Headquarters Building which became a center for educational purposes in the conservation field and a home for a curator. Its appeal is to botanists and horticulturists-- all of those rare individuals interested in studying and preserving native plants, particularly those indigenous to the South. During her lifetime, Caroline Dormon received scores of tributes, but the most significant came from a handful of friends who wanted to fund and administer a foundation which would perpetuate Caroline's work with trees and native plants. www.cp-tel.net /dormon   (537 words)

Lessons of the Whitlam Labor government and its overthrow For this reason, on the 25th anniversary of Whitlam's overthrow we are publishing a review of the course of the Whitlam government between 1972 and 1975, the events surrounding its dismissal, and how we propose a future socialist Labor government should act to avoid the same fate overtaking it. This is a slightly modified version of the text published in a previous edition of the Australian 'Socialist Appeal'. Please e-mail all comments and suggestions to this site as a discussion on this topic is important for today's Labor movement to ensure the lessons of Labor's defeat are absorbed to ensure victory in the next round of the class struggle. www.hartford-hwp.com /archives/24/183.html   (537 words)

Bandwagon fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In areas of a subjective nature, such as fashion or music, it could be argued that the "authority of the many" or the "appeal to popularity" is a true reflection of the subjective desires of a population group. The bandwagon fallacy is a pillar of advertising, along with the appeal to authority fallacy. The bandwagon fallacy is not made when appealing to an expert authority or a consensus of credible experts. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bandwagon_fallacy   (347 words)

State v. Kealoha It appears Defendant's argument on appeal is that the court's decision to deny her motion in limine was inconsistent with its ruling on Junior's motion. On appeal, Defendant challenges the court's ruling on her motion in limine No. 2 to exclude McCrocklin's testimony that Defendant was selling methamphetamine to finance her cocaine habit. On appeal, the defendant argued inter alia that the circuit court erred in "refusing to require the prosecution 'to elect the specific acts upon which convictions. www.state.hi.us /jud/ica22384.htm   (347 words)

Before the High Court Nonetheless, the reasoning of many appeal judges, including McHugh J in the High Court, when determining whether a sexual assault conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory has, on occasion, explicitly relied upon the apparent absence of a motive to lie as a reason for confidence in the complainant's evidence. Justice Levine, writing for the Court of Criminal Appeal, accepted the argument that this question would "inevitably arise in a trial in which there is a denial from beginning to end by the appellant", noting that the defence is required to put to the complainant that the allegations were invented. Such questioning raises concerns about fairness to the accused, both personally, as the subject of such cross-examination, and because of the risk that jurors will reverse the onus of proof because of the question's rhetorical nature. www.law.usyd.edu.au /~slr/v19/n4/bhc_gans.html   (347 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miracle Jesus constantly appealed to His "works" to prove that He was sent by God and that He is the Son of God, e.g., to the Disciples of John (Matt., xi, 4), to the Jews (John, x, 37). He appeals repeatedly to His "works" as most authentic and decisive proof of His Divine Sonship (John, v, 18-36; x, 24-37) and of His mission (John, xiv, 12), and for this reason condemns the obstinacy of the Jews as inexcusable (John, xv, 22, 24). The Apostles appeal to miracles as the confirmation of Christ's Divinity and mission (John, xx, 31; Acts, x, 38), and St. Paul counts them as the signs of his Apostleship (II Cor., xii, 12). www.newadvent.org /cathen/10338a.htm   (347 words)

Converted WP file execsum Another aspect of gender fairness in domestic relations cases is the extent to which traditional stereotypes pertaining to the true nature, appropriate behavior, and proper roles of men and women influence the decision-making process, as well as the treatment of litigants and the propensity of the court to respond. Gender issues are about identities and relationships that go beyond the courtroom and professional interactions and to the core of how people live and view their lives. The study of gender fairness issues in the court system proved to be difficult and challenging; bias based on gender rarely appears in forms that are easily measured or readily assessed. www.state.wv.us /wvsca/Gender/execsum.htm   (7145 words)

Krnojelac Appeals Judgement Summary This system of appeal has consequences on the nature of the arguments that a party may legitimately present on appeal and on the general burden of proof which it must satisfy in order for the Appeals Chamber to intervene. The Appeals Chamber concludes that the commission of this error means, as previously indicated, that the conduct of counsel for Krnojelac must not be taken into consideration in determining the sentence imposed on the basis of the new convictions on appeal. Thus, the Appeals Chamber considers that the only reasonable finding to be made on the basis of the relevant facts accepted by the Trial Chamber was that the beatings were inflicted on the non-Serb detainees for political or religious reasons and that, consequently, these unlawful acts were committed with the requisite discriminatory intent. www.un.org /icty/krnojelac/appeal/judgement/krn-res030917e.htm   (7105 words)

irrelevant appeal to authority However, even if he had been a rabbi, to appeal to Rabbi Einstein as evidence that God exists would still be an irrelevant appeal to authority because religion is by its very nature a controversial field. Appealing to non-experts as if they were experts, or appealing to experts in controversial fields, as evidence for a belief, are equally irrelevant to establishing the correctness of the belief. The irrelevant appeal to authority is a type of genetic fallacy, attempting to judge a belief by its origin rather than by the arguments for and against the belief. skepdic.com /authorty.html   (500 words)

The Deflationary Theory of Truth Alternatively, one might suggest that the distinction between truth according to deflationism and truth according to Moore's view is the distinction between having a simple unanalyzable nature, and not having a nature at all. The so-called correspondence theory of truth is built around this intuition, and tries to explain the notion of truth by appeal to the notions of correspondence and fact. Truth and falsity are ascribed primarily to propositions. plato.stanford.edu /entries/truth-deflationary   (7543 words)

Mission: Critical (Fallacious Appeals Exercises) The fallacy in this exercise is that meat's unhealthy nature can be proven by an opinion poll, which is not the case, and makes this a case of a fallacious appeal to common belief. An appeal to common practice uses the approach that something is permissible (or not) because "everyone is doing it." But here, the argument is that George's report should be graded, at least in part, not on its quality but on the effort he put into it. Were this an appeal to fear, there would be either an implicit or explicit threat of illness on the basis of meat-eating. www.sjsu.edu /depts/itl/graphics/adhom/appeal-q.html   (1983 words)

Paley's Natural Theology This is the scale by which we ascend to all the knowledge of our Creator which we possess, so far as it depends upon the phenomena or the works of nature. The question, therefore, is of very wide extent; and among other answers which may be given to it, beside reasons of which probably we are ignorant, one answer is this: it is only by the display of contrivance that the existence, the agency, the wisdom of the Deity could be testified to his rational creatures. Paley probably has in mind those statues, sometimes encountered in European gardens, which are constructed so as to move when someone walking down a path steps on the right stone. www-personal.umich.edu /%7Eemcurley/paley.htm   (5550 words)

FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code Moreover, in the numerous appeals since the conviction, he does not appear to have claimed that he was pursuing such a theory of improper motive. Factors a court should consider in allowing in such evidence are the nature of the psychological problem, the temporal recency or remoteness of the condition, and whether the witness suffered from the condition at the time of the events to which she is to testify. Because he failed to articulate such an argument either at trial or on appeal, and because there is not a plausible theory of motive or bias apparent from the trial record (including from the in camera hearings) or from Boggs's arguments on appeal, Boggs has not demonstrated a Confrontation Clause infraction. caselaw.findlaw.com /cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=6th&navby=case&no=00a0327p   (5550 words)

Singapore: Jeyaretnam appeal: QC's notes of argument To bolster his contention, the PM is driven to advance in paras 67-71 of his Case in Appeal 205, a conspiracy theory, which was wholly unsupported by the evidence and the existence of which would, in any case, be inadmissible on the issue of meaning (see para 3.1.5 above). The PM's argument at para 75.6 and 78(1) of his Case in Appeal 205 appears to proceed on the wholly fallacious basis that the events of the days preceding the election rally on 1.1.1997 form part of the context. The Judge scrupulously analysed the nature of the cross-examination, the extent to which objection was taken to it and whether it should result in extra compensation : see his judgment at paras 190-199. www.singapore-window.org /jeyapp.htm   (5550 words)

Appeal to the People Conventional truth such as the definitions of words, standard use of symbols, styles, or political elections are typical examples where the appeal to the majority, the experts, or the people-in-the-know would be relevant and so would not be fallacious. Occasionally, it is difficult to make a distinction between the ad verecundiam (appeal to authority) and the ad populum (appeal to the elite) fallacies. Argumentum ad Populum (popular appeal or appeal to the majority): The fallacy of attempting to win popular assent to a conclusion by arousing the feeling and enthusiasms of the multitude. philosophy.lander.edu /scireas/popular.html   (5550 words)
