Reflection Journal Institutional Affiliation Author’s Name Date     Reflection Journal In my research topic, “Gender Inequality among Women in Africa”, interesting facts and stereotypical misconceptions about the position, roles, and plight of African women and girls in the African society emerge. While a majority of lobbyists and gender equality activists continuously run campaigns aimed at liberating the African woman from the misconstrued political, social, and economic incapacity, a vast majority of scholars and societies are of a contrary opinion thus creating a controversy. Individuals in favor of such initiatives contend that such undertakings could help realize a holistic growth and development in Africa as the emancipation allow African women fill the regional and global technical, intellectual, and physical void in the social, political, and economic spheres.

Free community college in California Do free colleges actually exist in California? The simple answer is ‘yes.’ While the terms’ free’ and college are rarely used together, students can still study in Ivy league schools using various options like free-tuition, scholarships, and other choices.   There is a popular myth that surrounds community colleges, where many people believe that students who attend community colleges were not accepted in four-year schools. The truth is East- Coast Ivy League schools have nothing on California colleges. Students choose these schools mainly because they are relatively cheaper compared to prominent universities. If you are lucky to live in California, you have a wide variety of schools to choose from.   As of 2019, the California community college system consists of 114 separate institutions; some have multiple campuses across the state, while others have incorporated online learning programs for remote students.

Lowe Limited and The Upper Clements family Lowe Limited and The Upper Clements family theme park case entails claiming compensation concerning contract breach for work execution. According to the case’s prospects, the plaintiff claimed damages for contract breach for rental of a crane. Lowe is posing as the plaintiff, as The Upper Clements being the defendants (Vlex, 13). Aspects of the case comprised the lessor for the crane proposing terms for the machine’s rental, whereby a counterproposal was formed despite not being accepted. Despite the counterproposal’s denial, the crane was delivered as the lessor attempting to negotiate new terms, rejecting the crane and ceasing its use. The Supreme Court, Trial Division, ruled that a reasonable person would conclude how a contract was made when the crane became delivered, thus accepting a counteroffer (Vlex, 11). However, despite the propositions for ascertaining a counterproposal for the case, I felt that the court did not grant the defendants a chance to express personal reasons behind rejecting Lowe’s counterproposal. Instead, the court’s decision is bias. It fails to consider both parties’ grievances, thus focusing…

It is a legal rule that prevents the use of unlawfully acquired evidence in the criminal court system. According to Calabresi (2003), the exclusionary rule is a remedy of the Fourth Amendment that has been in service for more than a hundred years. Despite individuals depicting that the rule tames police misconduct in accessing evidence, it also limits judges’ errors in the contemporary world. The rule is widely used in the U.S, and the case between Weeks Vs. the United States in 1914 was the first case that facilitated the establishment and effectiveness of the exclusionary rule. Notably, this paper provides an in-depth discussion on the exclusionary rule, its application in a federal versus state courts in the U.S, and the exceptions perceived regarding the rule.
