How did the court apply these concepts to the Miranda decision?

Bus 206A Ethical Exercise:
Summary:
In Miranda v. Arizona, the United States Supreme Court held that
the police must inform suspects, before interrogation, of certain
constitutional rights. These rights have become popularly known as the
Miranda rights. Under the Constitution, specifically the Fifth Amendment,
persons accused of a crime, or held in suspicion of a crime, must be informed
of their right to remain silent, their right to be represented by counsel, and
must be told that any statements they make can and will be used against them as
evidence.
Compare and contrast voluntary and involuntary
confessions. How did the court apply these concepts to the Miranda
decision? Provide an example of when a person is and is not in
custody. Is there a difference between an interview and an interrogation?
If a person waives his or her Miranda rights, how long is the waiver
valid? Can a person change his or her mind? Can the police keep
trying to get a suspect to talk until he or she agrees to do so without a
lawyer? Should there be any exceptions to the rule that a person is to be
informed of their rights? Discuss.

Prompt: Is Third World Immigration a Threat to Americas Way of Life?

Throughout the course we have read about how social forces influence and change our lives. Living in the South Florida area brings us into very direct and intense contact with one of the social forces shaping the economic, political, and cultural landscape of the United States: immigration. Some see immigrants as the natural product of a society that proposes to be a “land of opportunity;” others see contemporary immigrants as a threat to the U.S. social fiber. Use the readings from the course to write a short (750-800 words) essay expressing your views on the issue. Keep it tight and focused.
The essay will be graded on the following rubric:
Organization: Is the introduction clear? Do you provide an overview of your argument early?
Focus and detail: Do you stay on topic as you provide support for your argument? Is your argument clear and focused?
Voice: Do I hear you in the essay? Why do you hold these opinions?
Sentence structure, grammar, mechanics: This is not an English class but is your writing clear?
Use of class readings as sources: Refer to the class readings as you write.

Informative Culture Speech

1. write an outline for Informative Culture Speech

2. write the script for informative Culture Speech

The purpose of this assignment is to inform the audience about a culture other than your own. You may choose a culture or a subculture but it must be a current, modern-day culture. Through your information, explanation, and examples, the audience should gain insight into the uniqueness of the culture and its people. Remember: the focus is a culture not on the geography or history of a country or group. Your speech should not make judgments of the culture, but rather, be an objective study.

You should first select a culture/subculture to focus on and then select a focus topic/ area of interest within that culture. If a smaller subculture is used, it may be unnecessary to narrow it to one area of focus. DON’T TRY TO COVER TOO MUCH IN YOUR SPEECH. FOCUS THE TOPIC. A SUBCULTURE WILL PROBABLY MAKE A BETTER TOPIC THAN A MAJOR CULTURAL GROUP.
You will perform research on this topic including interviews, library research, and media analysis.
Sources: You should use at least 3 reliable sources to gather your supporting material. At least one source must come from the college library databases.
Supporting material: You should have at least three different types of supporting material: definition, example, statistics, analogies, anecdotes, quotation/testimony.
You should include at least two visual aids to incorporate into your speech content. This includes PowerPoint, picture, graph, etc. You can use video with a limit of 30 seconds to one minute MAX, in proportion to the length of your speech.

************************************let me know the topic before you start the paper to be approved ************************************
