Background

The case rested on an act which most Americans would find offensive: the burning of the American Flag. Gregory Lee Johnson was arrested and tried in the Texas courts. He was found guilt of destroying a venerated object.

He took his case to the supreme court and argued that his was a form of symbolic free speech. In a 5-4 decision the court agreed with him and they overturned the Texas ruling.

They argued that the act was repulsive, but that alone did not constitute blocking his right to disagree with what the governments were doing. The descending 4 argued that Texas had every right to classify the flag as a venerated object.

The case helped insure that the 1st amendment was protected.  The court ruled that individual free speech must be protected.

If an offender is sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, then the offender will remain in jail for the rest of his
Naddik [55]
It is not fair in my opinion, because the 50 year old has already lived a life, where as the 20 year old hasn't. The 50 year old has already has done things in his or her life that the 20 year old won't be able to do. For example, when the 20 year old gets out of jail he will be 80 meaning he may never experience things such as getting married, having children, and etc. The 50 year old may have already done those things in his or her life, so it is very unfair to the 20 year old. The sentencing is also unfair due to the fact being both of them committed the crime and should have the same time served in jail. 

Hint: that the last sentence might not hold up due to the fact of what he or she did and it pertains to how serve the crime was for both parties. Such as one person killed someone, while the other one didn't pull the trigger but was an accomplice or new about the killing. So it really depends on the crime or crimes the person has committed.

leva [86]

Answer: The correct answer is <em>Law of Immediate Reinforcer</em>: this law states that any reinforcer is presented immediately, in this case the paycheck is that immediate reinforcer.

Explanation:

When reinforcement is provided immediately, individuals can more easily identify the behaviors that lead to reinforcement and those that do not. This type of reinforcement Ieads to a desired behavior being commited. Another factor that can facilitate discrimination is the clear specification of environmental conditions, or stimuli, under which reinforcement will be provided

Explain why correlations should always be reported with scatter diagrams
Phantasy [73]
Scatter plot diagrams are made by plotting the data plots gathered in an x-y diagram. Then, the data points are fitted to an equation. Correlations come from this made equations. They are deemed legitimate through the coefficient of correlation r-squared. If it is as high as around 0.99, then the equation is a good correlation for the behavior of the data.
