According to a 2012 decision by the US Supreme Court, Abel Fields's actions are protected by the First Amendment.


In the fictitious case study scenario of Abel Fields, he claimed to have received a Purple Heart for wounds suffered in combat, when in fact he had never served in the military. He asserted his claim as a freedom of speech issue.


In a real-life decision by the US Supreme Court, <em>United States v. Alvarez, </em>the the Court struck down the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (signed into law by President G.W. Bush in 2006). The law had criminalized false statements about having a military medal. By a 6-3 majority, the Supreme Court determined that the Stolen Valor Act was unconstitutional under the First Amendment's protection of free speech.

in what ways did religious change in asia and the middle east differ from those in europe? how were they similar?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Islam in W. Africa was simply a consequence of trade, unlike Christianity in China. The comparison, I believe lies in the relative spiritual needs of the elites in both places. Chinese elites had rejected Buddhism for the most part, and Confucianism alone leaves much to be desired with regard to spiritualism. Chinese lower classes benefited from a blend of Buddhism/Confucianism.

In W. Africa, it was the elites more than the lower classes exposed to Islam because trade was the social engine, and well regarded, and elites participated. The lower classes on the other hand had less exposure and were content with the ancient animist traditions extant in W. Africa.

We can see a similar trend in the recent history of the West. Upper-class, more educated, people are increasingly secular, while religion tends to remain the enclave of the lower and working classes.
