| an example of symbolic speech: An Essential Guide to American Politics and the American Political System Kenneth L. Hill, 2012-07-31 An Essential Guide to American Politics and the American Political System by Kenneth Hill clarifies many of the trends influencing American politics today. You will find in this book a clear analysis of the underlying structure of the American political system, emerging trends, and enduring problems. The book analyzes both continuity and change in American politics and the interaction between the two. Voters, to take one example, now have multiple sources to gather and evaluate political information. The result is often confusion rather than better understanding. Policies adopted by nations around the world now impact the American voter in both positive and negative ways. The policies of other nations now in part determine rates of employment in the United States. The question of equality and equal opportunity has become increasingly controversial as the gap between social classes continues to widen. Much more than in the past, more Americans are now questioning the ability of the American political system to successfully deal with current challenges. Americans are losing confidence in their leaders and institutions. The optimism that has long been a characteristic of the American people is vanishing as problems go unsolved often because of petty political differences. Our two political parties no longer produce the leaders they once did. Kenneth Hills book is an essential guide to better understand the challenges confronting the American political system---and the possibility of success or failure. |
| an example of symbolic speech: Criminal Law Henry F. Fradella, Professor in and Associate Director of the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice Henry F Fradella, 2022-06-24 Criminal Law offers a unique hybrid approach to learning criminal law. Most textbooks oversimply the law by presenting the black letter law for major and defenses, but they rarely present any corresponding exploration of the gray areas that exist beyond the basic rules of law. Conversely, casebooks present numerous edited judicial opinions, often with context. Criminal Law takes the best from each of these approaches by merging textual pedagogy and case analyses into a coherent framework that includes legal history, social context, and public policy. Taking a historical approach, legal expert Henry F. Fradella presents the law as it evolved from English common law and compares it with the modern statutory approach to crimes set forth in the American Law Institute's highly influential Model Penal Code. After providing such comparative pedagogy for each crime or defense, Criminal Law presents 1-2 edited cases that allow the reader to contrast how the black letter law plays out in the real world. After each case, a series of questions challenge students to engage in critical thinking about the case and its implications as precedent. Finally, chapters contain a number of additional pedagogical features that focus on public policy concerns and statutory interpretation skills using penal laws from a variety of U.S. states. |
| an example of symbolic speech: Saluting the Flag: West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette Susan Dudley Gold, 2014-01-01 During World War II, American children who were Jehovah's Witnesses refused to salute the flag because it conflicted with their religion. In this riveting book, award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold delves into the issues behind the Supreme Court case. An impressive victory for the First Amendment, especially in time of war, the decision established that government cannot compel Americans to participate in symbolic speech such as a flag salute. Although the case involved members of the Jehovah's Witnesses, the decision embraced freedom of expressions as well as freedom of religion. |

| an example of symbolic speech: From Logos to Christos Ellen M. Leonard, Kate Merriman, 2011-06-27 From Logos to Christos is a collection of essays in Christology written by friends and colleagues in memory of Joanne McWilliam. McWilliam was a pioneer woman in the academic study of theology, specializing in Patristic studies and internationally recognized for her work on Augustine. For countless students she was a teacher, a mentor, an inspiration. These fourteen essays are a fitting tribute to her memory. Written by recognized North American scholars, the essays explore various aspects of Christology, inviting the reader to probe the meaning and significance of Jesus Christ for today. They address a broad range of issues, including the Christology of the Acts of Thomas, Hooker on divinization, and Christ figures in contemporary Canadian culture. Teachers of theology and religious studies, pastors, and informed general readers will find the essays stimulating and instructive. They present the readers with considered, mature, and current scholarship. These are the questions that engaged Joanne McWilliam throughout her life, and she was happy to know that the critical dialogue would continue in this volume as friends and colleagues wrestled with Christological questions. For her, “In Jesus we come to know the compassion, the power, the wisdom, the love, and the faithfulness of God”. |

| an example of symbolic speech: The Supreme Court Paul Finkelman, 2014-01-15 An insightful, chronological—by chief justice—examination of the Supreme Court that enables students and readers to understand and appreciate the constitutional role the Court plays in American government and society. American citizens need to understand the importance of the Supreme Court in determining how our government and society operates, regardless of whether or not they agree with the Court's opinions. Unfortunately, the role and powers of the third branch of government are not well understood by the American public. After an introduction and overview to the history of the Supreme Court from 1789 to 2013, this book examines the Court's decisions chronologically by Chief Justice, allowing readers to grasp how the role and powers of the Court have developed and shifted over time. The chapters depict the Court as the essential agent of review and an integrated part of the government, regardless of the majority/minority balance on the Court, and of which political party is in the White House or controlling the House or Senate. |
| an example of symbolic speech: The Rehnquist Court Thomas R. Hensley, 2006-06-08 A detailed look at the Rehnquist Court's key figures, rulings, and major changes to U.S. constitutional law. Did the Rehnquist Court, which followed the liberal Warren Court and the moderate Burger Court, achieve a conservative counterrevolution? Using quantitative data to supplement detailed opinion analysis, political scientist Thomas R. Hensley argues that continuity not change characterized the Rehnquist Court era. But without a doubt, the Rehnquist Court was frequently a war zone. Fourteen justices served during the Rehnquist era, which began in 1986 during the Reagan administration and ended with Rehnquist's death in September 2005. Presidents Reagan and Bush appointed conservative justices and set in motion an assault on the ultra-liberal decisions made by the two previous courts. But President Clinton appointed two moderate Democrats, slowing the conservative juggernaut. The result? One of the most fascinating, contentious, and crucial periods in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. |

| an example of symbolic speech: The Struggle for Student Rights John W. Johnson, 1997 Tension between free speech and social stability has been a central concern throughout American history. In the 1960s that concern reached a fever pitch with the anti-Vietnam War movement. When antiwar sentiment invaded American schools, official resolve to retain order in the classroom vied with the rights of students to speak freely. A key event in that face-off was the Supreme Court decision in Tinker v. Des Moines. As the most important student rights case ever to reach the Supreme Court, Tinker raises important issues regarding First Amendment freedoms and provides a fascinating legal window on a turbulent era. |

| an example of symbolic speech: Human Enhancement Technologies and Our Merger with Machines Woodrow Barfield, Sayoko Blodgett-Ford, 2021-06-15 A cross-disciplinary approach is offered to consider the challenge of emerging technologies designed to enhance human bodies and minds. Perspectives from philosophy, ethics, law, and policy are applied to a wide variety of enhancements, including integration of technology within human bodies, as well as genetic, biological, and pharmacological modifications. Humans may be permanently or temporarily enhanced with artificial parts by manipulating (or reprogramming) human DNA and through other enhancement techniques (and combinations thereof). We are on the cusp of significantly modifying (and perhaps improving) the human ecosystem. This evolution necessitates a continuing effort to re-evaluate current laws and, if appropriate, to modify such laws or develop new laws that address enhancement technology. A legal, ethical, and policy response to current and future human enhancements should strive to protect the rights of all involved and to recognize the responsibilities of humans to other conscious and living beings, regardless of what they look like or what abilities they have (or lack). A potential ethical approach is outlined in which rights and responsibilities should be respected even if enhanced humans are perceived by non-enhanced (or less-enhanced) humans as “no longer human” at all. |

| an example of symbolic speech: Famous Legal Dissents Cassia Vaughn, AI, 2025-04-03 Famous Legal Dissents explores the crucial role of dissenting opinions in the American legal system, arguing that progress often stems from those who challenge the prevailing legal consensus. The book examines landmark cases where dissenting voices, initially dismissed, later paved the way for significant legal reforms and shifts in societal norms. For instance, Justice Harlan's lone dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson against segregation, though initially rejected, laid the groundwork for future civil rights advancements. These dissenting opinions serve as critical analyses, highlighting injustices overlooked by the majority. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of legal dissent, beginning with its theoretical foundations and historical precedents. It then delves into specific cases across civil rights, freedom of speech, and criminal justice, dissecting the legal reasoning and philosophical underpinnings of the dissenting arguments. The analysis draws upon primary sources, including court transcripts and personal papers, to offer a narrative approach to legal history. The book also considers the practical implications of embracing dissenting viewpoints, demonstrating how legal professionals and citizens alike can contribute to a more just legal system. Ultimately, Famous Legal Dissents offers a nuanced perspective on the ongoing debates about judicial activism and restraint. It suggests that dissenting voices are essential for ensuring the law remains responsive to the needs of a changing society. By focusing on the lives and motivations of dissenting figures, the book aims to make complex legal concepts accessible to a wider audience interested in politics, biography, and legal reform. |

But the Supreme Court, by a contentious 5 to margin, overturned that conviction, claiming that Johnson's action constituted symbolic -- and thus protected -- speech. Heated debate continues to swirl around that controversial decision, both hailed as a victory for free speech advocates and reviled as an abomination that erodes the patriotic foundations of American democracy. Such passionate yet contradictory views are at the heart of this landmark case. Book jacket. |
