EOC - Week 7 - What are the Landlords' Rights?

Although the land lords in the film was very restricted on what they could do to remove the trespasser, in real life circumstances, there are several steps they could have done to remedy their problem. For one instance, Carter Hayes enter the building without permission making him a trespasser and because he wasn not the real owner and was not properly leased, Drake Goodman could have easily removed him from the the property and even sue him for damaging his property. But for the movie and Hollywood sake, the story had ben embelished a bit. Never the less, another problem occurred the building was getting infested with pest. Because Goodman didn’t take action to effectively remove the pest problem at the source, making the building a danger to public health and safety and putting his tenants at risk which they could ultimately sue him for not doing his duty as land lord. In the beginning of the movie when they were filling out the paper works to purchase the house, they both embelished on several things like their income and Drake Goodman said that, “Everyone embelished a little. It is expected.”(Pacific Heights 1990). He could be sued for fraud for lying about his income and other information he made up. I think if he new his rights more and it was in a real life situation, he would have had an easier time removing Cater Hayes off his property. I thought it was pretty stupid that they could not do anything because possession is nine tenths of the law and Hayes was defending his possession. Ha! If they took the time to find out the duties and rights of being a home owner, they would not be in the situation they were in when decided to take the risky opportunity.

1. Facts of the Case

During World War II on May 19, 1942, when the Japanese initiated a sneak attack with its air force and bombed on Pearl Harbor. The United States of America made a rash decision to relocate western Japanese American to concentration camps by Civilian Restrictive Order No. 1, 8 Fed. Reg. 982. Violating the Fifth and Fourteen Amendment, the United States of America supreme court unwilling to acknowledge and accommodate for their decision that wrongfully accused and victimized majority of the civilians with Japanese ancestry residing in the United States regardless if they are citizens of the U.S. The prosecutor, Fred Korematsu, is stating that their decision, during the time it was made, was unconstitutional.

EOC - Week 6

Greed is never good. Too much of a good thing is bad because eventually you will get tired of what you are engorging yourself with and then move on to your next favorite thing and engorging yourself again without consideration or think about the consequences. Like the weight problem America is dealing with. Just because you can eat as much as you want, does not mean you should. Sure you are enjoying the savory delicious burgers as many times and as often as you want but you will be obese, have mobility problem, get diabetes, heart problems, and all the things that need adjusting. Greedy people who buy large amounts of land and declare it private so no one could enter that will never will never see, visit or use most of it.

I have never heard of anything good come out of greed other than having an advantage over another entity that is even greedier than you are. Greed causes people to be dishonest, disloyal, shrewd, uncaring towards your fellow man and surroundings. You do whatever it takes to be on top, have the advantage and make a profit.

If I could make a whack me doll, it would be the Greed and the Monetary System. I hate the fact that most of the things I do is majority based on or related to money. The idea that you can gather up large sum of money with little work and/or at the expenses of others only proved that what you gained by no real concrete effort on your part isn’t what you deserved. You can’t eat money, you can’t grow it and you can’t there’s no real value on it unless you believe it is valuable. Ethics is thrown out of the window just so you can make profit.

EOC Week 5

As vast as the US law is, even people have their own opinions about it. "I think the legal system has very good laws and they sound like we will be protected in many ways,..." (Polo, Diannehttp://vidaddesign.blogspot.com/) It is true that there are laws out there that are created to protect the public from abuse or being taken advantage by other individual, groups or companies. Such laws that are against murder, arson, fraud, larceny and so forth are all created to protect the people.

Even though the laws are there to protect our well being, there are still people who doubt or even complain about the legal system"… our legal system is flawed and I think the thought given by Mr. Liuzzo explains where a great deal of the problems come from." (Cross, William L.,,II http://c2animtions.blogspot.com/) Like some of our tort laws, when someone commit a libel or slander on us, if we can’t prove that it’s false even though we know it is not the truth, however is gossiping against you may continue to do so.

"There are times when I think of the law and it seems to be nothing but a hindrance to the way most of us live our lives. But from the other perspective, it is not that your freedom is squelched by the law, but your privileges are protected by it." (Thomas, David M. http://afrobirdproductions.blogspot.com/) This takes us back to my point at the top about laws protecting us. But it also shed light on this topic that depending on the perspective that the unlawful events are being viewed, people will always have different opinions on the matter. Like I always say, “One of the worst things that can even happen at an accident scene is having more than one witness observing the event.”
