The above description is both practical and consistent with the reality of emergency management. It represents one of the best illustrations of federalism in the United States. Federalism is a system of government in which state governments have a protected existence. States can make independent decisions, with some exceptions and exclusions, independently of the federal government. Disasters often test the federalist system because they often involve multiple states, all levels of government, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector.For this assignment, review the video provided in this week’s Learning Resources. Then consider national-level policy reforms in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina. Think about how these policy reforms influenced and continue to influence emergency management at state and local levels.

According to the Unit 1 module, psychology relies on evidence based on scientific experiments and observation in order to state statistical probabilities of human behavior. The empirical approach requires reliable and replicable testing and is based on scientific merit (Fulero et al., 2009). On the other hand, the doctrinal approach subscribed by the law seems to be the complete opposite of the empirical approach. According to the module, judges of the court rely on decisions made by past judges in order to make absolute decisions in current cases. This is the biggest difference between the two approaches as past decisions are not based on scientific evidence. Also, psychology does not allow for absolute conclusions. According to Fulero et al. (2009), lawyers will rely more on their intuition to judge human behavior and judges will rely on inductive reasoning to decide a case. These methods can introduce bias in the form of personal values and beliefs. In contrast, psychologists rely on deductive reasoning in order to come up with a generalized, value-free theory that can apply to a specific human behavior (Fulero et al., 2009). The module states that judges and lawyers are more concerned with conflict resolution rather than seeking out factual knowledge, which is the duty of the psychologist.The case of Judas Priest introduces a new element, in that there have not been any prior decisions that can be applied to it (Ewing & McCann, 2006). With that said and because the idea of subliminal messaging can only be explained psychologically, expert testimony had to be utilized. Psychology influenced law in this case by seeking testimony from multiple psychologists from different fields (Ewing & McCann, 2006), in turn allowing for multiple perspectives and for deductive reasoning to occur. Multiple scientific perspectives can allow for a more mindful decision, as opposed to a narrow-minded decision which would be reached if stare decisis were to apply. As stated above, deductive reasoning does not find its way into the court of law without the presence of psychologists. Since there have been no experiments exploring the possibility of subliminal messaging influencing behavior (Ewing & McCann, 2006), Judge Whitehead could not hold Judas Priest liable of influencing Vance and Belknap’s suicide attempt/suicide. This is a clear absence of blame due to the fact that there is no evidence that subliminal messaging can influence behavior, which can easily be translated into psychological terms. Because a correlation occurred (the boys listened to the album and then committed suicide), does not mean the album caused their suicide attempt/suicide. Since suicide was the issue at hand, the situational differences and the boys’ mental states had to be considered, which is another way psychology influences law as judges and lawyers are not trained to evaluate mental states.In my opinion, people find the intersection of law and psychology so fascinating because it explores the psychological factors that could influence crime and the criminal justice system. Psychology introduces ideas that would have never been considered by judges or lawyers alone. Psychology can pinpoint issues that occur regularly in the criminal justice system, for example, the issue of coercive interrogational techniques of law enforcement. A horrible mass murder could occur with the shooter committing suicide afterwards and the only way it could be explained is through psychological autopsy. It is human nature to desire an explanation for everything and the majority of the time, psychology can suggest reasons for motivations and behaviors of criminals and be able to back it up empirically.
post one The origin and ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment came just two years after the Fourteenth Amendment had passed. Even though the Fourteenth Amendment stated that it ensured equal rights and protection for every person born or naturalized in the United States, many states found ways to continue their thoughts and methods of inferiority over African Americans. Before the amendment was actually embraced, only eight states in the north gave black men the right to vote. This constitutional amendment stipulated that the right to vote could not be denied on account of race, color, or because a person had been a slave (Hine, 2013). Certain states in the west also gave black men the right to vote but as expected, many white people and even Native Americans did not feel African Americans should be given these rights and did many cruel and hateful acts to keep them away from the political systems.The Enforcement Acts were in direct response to the heinous acts of violence that ensued because of the African Americans uprising in the United States. The terroristic acts of the Ku Klux Klan forced congress to pass these acts to protect black people and ensure those violating the acts be tried in federal court. Two acts were passed, one in 1870 outlawing the disguises or mask to protect the civil rights of citizens. The other, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act was passed in 1871, made it a federal offense to interfere with a person right to vote, hold office, serve on a jury, or enjoy equal protection of the law (Hines, 2013).Both the Fifteenth Amendment and the Enforcement Acts had great intentions on protecting the rights of not only African Americans but also all Americans in general; it still lacked the support of many white people around the nation.-Antrell post 2 Good EveningThe 15th amendment states that the United States government cannot deny a person the right to vote based on race, color and gender. The 15th amendment granted African American men the right to vote. The amendment was adopted into the U.S. Constitution in 1870. The amendment states that: “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Despite all odds, discriminatory acts prevented African Americans to exercise their right to vote. After many of years, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that denied blacks their right to vote under the 15th Amendment. Even after many years of African Americans being treated poorly and being ignored the Voting Rights Act gave African-American voters the legal means to challenge voting restrictions and vastly improved voter turnout.The Enforcement Act, are three bills that congressed passed in office, rights to vote, hold office, or enjoy equal protection of the laws. These bills allowed the federal government to intervene if the state didn\’t. There is Enforcement Act of 1870, empower the President with the legal authority to enforce the first section of the Fifteenth Amendment throughout the United States. There is Enforcement Act of 1871 Act of the United States Congress which empowered the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations. The target of the acts was the Ku Klux Klan, whose members were murdering many blacks and some whites because they voted, held office, or were involved with schools. The KKK didn\’t like blacks getting involved you can say the white mans world. President Grant stated that \”insurgents were in rebellion against the authority of the United States.\” He sent federal troops to restore law and order to many areas where violence was raging at its worst. After doing all this reading and getting a better understand of the 15th amendment and Enforcement Act I learned something new and how there where laws in place to help African American. Since there was a lack of police enforcement laws where broken and a lot of people where hurt. I don\’t know if we can say history is repeating itself with what is all going on in the world today. But I do think change always have to take time to happen.
