The Supreme Court opined that the "guided discretion" statutes would respect the defendant's basic human dignity, as required by

the 8th Amendment, and prevent jury nullification-the practice of a jury's refusal to convict guilty defendants to avoid imposing unjust death sentences.

Ymorist [56]3 years ago

Answer: True

Explanation: The Supreme Court admitted that it is haphazard to treat similar things differently and that mandatory death penalty statutes eliminated this problem, but also reckless to treat two different things the same way. In essence, to impose the same penalty on all convicted murderers, even though all defendants

are different, is just as capricious as imposing a penalty randomly.

To relieve this problem, some sentencing guidelines became necessary. This gave rise to the guided discretion statutes that set standards for juries and judges to

use when deciding whether to impose the death penalty. The Court reasoned that, guided discretion statutes struck a reasonable balance between giving the jury some discretion and allowing it to consider the defendant's background and character and the circumstances surrounding the crime.

Is the woman who flashes her crotch at a bar evaluated in the same way as a man who flashes his crotch at a bar? Do we have the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Social Assumptions

Explanation:

A woman who shows herself at the bar is sometimes perceived differently than a man that does the same thing. The interpretation of what it means as a man and a woman to perform the same behaviour in society is overwhelmingly different. Unfortunately, gender bias and gender roles separate male and female allowances.

So, a woman and a man doing the same thing at a bar is perceived differently.

The perception of a man and woman dressed  similarly is viewed differently

These are not examples of exhibitionism but the individuals are dressed the way they want and feel comfortable.

Gender bias exists because this behaviour has been introduced and been allowed to perpetuate in society for generations upon generations.

This is continued because society allows it to continue by perpetuating this "norm".

Since women are held at a different standard than men, a man's sexual promiscuity is not viewed the same as a woman's sexual freedom.

Women are most likely to be stigmatized in these cases, unfortunately and in time this may change.

The social networks degrade or not our language?
Alexus [3.1K]
I think it does because people tend to shorthand words like "for" to "4" and "you" to "U." sometimes people become overreliant on stuff like that and they use it even in school or in situations where the shouldn't. grammar online is pretty bad in general too.
