essay 3

~Essay 3~
~Crime and Punishment~




Crime and punishment is a very big issue in a modern society. One can only try to perfect a nation to such an extent. Even if the ruler of the nation does try their hardest to perfect the society of their land the likeliness of this occurrence is still going to remain very slim. Crime is going to happen in any society. We also happen to be in a modern day and age where crime is imminent. Crime is unnecessary yet is nonetheless part of society, no matter what we say. With crime comes punishment, no exceptions.

Why must we punish those whom are in offense of this law? We cannot and will not allow such low level forms of life and/ or society. Murjanica is and will remain a civilized nation until some bitter day may just possibly come upon us and diminish our advanced, civilized, respected for of government/ way of life/ society. We intend to keep this nation running extremely smooth and with issues like crime disturbing our peace this will never be possible. Crime is bad, it is a very simple concept to grasp. Very simply put crime is bad, when one does a bad action they must be punished, therefore when someone commits a crime they need to be punished.

Why punish, why not give multiple chances, why not destroy completely? Punishment is part of a learning experience. We in Murjanica believe that life itself is just one big learning experience. So by punishing someone for their wrong action in most cases that person will learn from their mistake. If the criminals were given multiple chances they would never learn from their mistake because nothing bad would happen to them when they committed the crime. They would never really understand that what they are doing is wrong. We will never kill a person immediately for an offense (murder) or in a minor offense. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior because it is cruel and unusual punishment, which the nation of Murjanica is strictly against. In addition to these reasons prior mentioned this method would be an extreme consequence.

Yes, the nation of Murjanica believes in punishment, consequences (good and bad) and correcting wrong doings but some methods are too extreme. For example, a man litters an immediately he is put to death. Another example of this kind of extreme case would be if a person stole a package of gum from a convenient and he immediately is sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in the military. We also cannot be too lenient as mentioned previously in the paragraph above. If a man were to murder another man for any reason we could not just simply let them free with many chances or even just one more chance to “correct” their actions. Suppose someone who was very close to your heart like a family member, close friend, etc. had just been murdered, would you not want the murderer to be set free? Of course not! You would want the murderer to be locked up in jail forever or to be put to death even.

Crime and punishment is a matter of what the country as a whole sees as “correct” consequences. It is a matter of extremes. I am glad to report that here in Murjanica we will strive to find what is known as a happy medium. Some regulations have already been set up and more will be added and specified.

independence from pippin

~Independence From Pippin~

I, rita murjani, would like to declare my independence from Mr. Pippin. Mr. Pippin is a master whom I can live under no longer. There comes a time in every persons life when they need to be free from their leader and for me that time is now, it has arrived. I am ready to spread my wings and fly. This is why I wish to be free from the tyranny of master pippin.

I believe everyone must take chances in their life and under rule of pippin this is not even imaginable. He is a cruel tyrant who will not let us take any risks in our lifetime. We only live once… now is the time to live life to the fullest and under rule of pippin this is just not possible.

Mr. Pippin does not want us to have any life. He piles on homework every night to an extent that is not possible unless you choose to suffer from sleep deprivation. (For all of you whom are wondering yes, I currently suffer from sleep deprivation)

He follows a strict standard, which he refuses to alter. He will not even listen to your suggestions because he feels he is the wisest one. He feels he is so wise because of his experiences in life that can “only come with age.” That by the way is a fallacy~ appeal to age. He is assuming that because he is older than we are he knows more. Who is he to tell us how much we know or don’t know?

He claims he will let us debate topics in class but when we try to he cuts us off in the middle of a sentence and tells us to “ put it on the forum… we don’t have time in class.”

He gives us confusing assignments and then laughs at us when we get it wrong or when the light bulb finally goes off in our mind.

He does not give us enough time in class to work on assignments; he then tells us he will put the information on his website but doesn’t. When it is time for a notebook check he then expects us to have it completed. We try to explain why it is not complete but he still gives us a bad grade.

He follows a test standard that is too high. He expects perfect scores from all of us but doesn’t help us at all. He does not believe in study guides or review games.

This all concludes that our current master, pippin, is a cruel and heartless tyrant who enjoys watching us suffer. In fact I believe he finds it quite entertaining.

Many prior attempts have been made to try and prevent this cruel tyranny but there has been no easing on his cruel ways. His ways have only become more and more heartless.

We have begged and pleaded for some sympathy, we have begged and pleaded for some mercy but his cruel ways have only continued. We have talked to the master privately and individually outside of the class but his thick headedness will always prevail.

I, rita murjani, am requesting my need for independence from the cruel ways of Mr. Pippin. By ratifying this document we will be able to spread our wings and fly. We will be responsible for our own methods of study. Our homework assignments will be as necessary and not more than that. We will discuss and debate topics as we see fit based on importance. We will set up two classes every month that are only for the mere purpose of debating. We will take the acquirement of knowledge of American government as our own responsibility. We will no longer need the rule of a master over us supervising and regulating everything we do. I, Rita Murjani, pledge my dedication to the gain of knowledge and all things governmental.

~Essay 2~

~THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM~

The economic system of murjanica will be quite simple actually. The economy is currently in a good condition but as we all know these things can change with time. Let us begin by asking, “what is an economy and what is its purpose?” in the following essay we will answer these questions along with others and give vivid descriptions.

What is an economy? An economy is a combination of activities based on and/or related to the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy What is its purpose? An economic system will deal with domestic affairs, regulate and supervise household matters, and deal with matters concerning the monetary system. http://www.brainydictionary.com/words/ec/economy158250.html

The monetary system will be based on the amount of kindness and sweet items we have it the nation of murjanica. For example, if many people happen to be going through a “mean streak” at the same time the exchange rate will be less. Currently one narf is worth 7.56 euros. (There will be one hundred narf cents in one narf) So as you can tell we are a very kind nation at this moment in time. When the narf becomes worth less the items sold in retail shops and boutiques will be more costly. Food items will cost more etc. If the monetary value goes down, since we can control this by our actions, we will try once again to regain our status.

People can put extra money in one of the many federal banks. (Example: bank of murjanica) Checks may be used; they can be ordered directly from the bank of murjanica. Credit cards and debit cards will be available for use. To uses a debit card one must have a minimum of twenty-five narfs in their bank account. This goes for checks as well. To gain a credit card one must pay all of their bills on time. As they continue to do this they will build a sweetness score. As their sweetness score increases so does their credit line. The sweetness scale will range from one to one thousand. To gain hold of a credit card one must have a minimum sweetness score of tree hundred.

Now we will explain how taxation will work in the nation of murjanica. There will be no taxation with out representation. People of the working class will pay an annual income tax. This tax will be twenty-three percent of their annual income. There will also be a tax on purchased goods such as clothes, shoes, food, sugar fuel (intended for use only in a hovercraft), homes, furniture, office supplies, books, automobiles, etc. Vendors will add this tax to the items for purchase prior to a customers purchase. In other words tax will be included in pricing of goods. These taxes will be used to better the country and keep it looking clean. Taxes will pay for any maintenance necessary on the airways and pay those who are picking up trash that has fallen on the ground. Some of this money will also support the police force and army. This money will also go towards setting up a good school system for the children.

essay one

~ Discrimination~

As a neutral nation murjanica will not allow discrimination of any type. We are not only neutral when it comes to war but also when it comes to discrimination. There will be no tolerance for racism, sexism, or distinguishing by ethnicity. We citizens of murjanica are a peaceful people and discrimination will disrupt the peace, which we intend to keep.

Job discrimination is a major issue in the world today. http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/Employment_discrimination Many people cannot get a job because of their race or religion. How many people will think twice before hiring an employee because they happen to be from the Middle East. How many people will think twice before hiring someone because they just happen to be Muslim. http://www.adc.org/

Age discrimination is another topic of interest to many. Plenty employers do not want to hire someone of an older age. The reason is obvious of course. They are not nearly as efficient as someone who is maybe of the age of twenty. The older person has worked many more years and is usually burnt out or the fact that they are older remains. Sometime they may not be burnt out from working many years, but their body just functions slower than people of a younger age. http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/age.html

Sexual discrimination is a major issue especially today. http://www.now.org/issues/wfw/wal-mart.html But today sexual discrimination is not nearly as big of an issue as it was even twenty to thirty years ago. Just look back on colonial America. Women were not allowed to work because they were thought of to be incapable. But back in those days most of the work was physical labor which as we all know men were expected to do while their wives took care of the family and the house. http://www.wic.org/misc/history.htm

Caste discrimination may not be a major issue in America but that is not to say it does not exist, it does but not in the same form or term of caste. A better example of this would occur in many asian countries. Caste discrimination was more of a major issue back in older times but it does prevail today, just not to the same extent. Peoples in a higher caste were treated like royalty whether they really were or not by peoples in a lower caste. People in lower castes were looked down upon by anyone in a higher caste. People normally did not associate with anyone outside of their own caste. If someone in a lower caste associated with any member of a higher caste they would be severely punished. Any member of a higher caste that would socialize with a member of a caste that was lower than their own was looked down upon by the member of their own caste until they did something to redeem themselves. http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/globalcaste/

Luckily for those of you who are citizens of the country of murjanica, there will be no need to worry about things like discrimination. We are all human beings with differences but those are the things that make each and every one of us special. We are all born into different races and religions. Some of us are male and some female. Some are blessed with a greater gift of wealth and some of us are not. But in murjanica these things will not determine the good or bad of a person. Discrimination as once mentioned previously will not be tolerated.
