Expressing Problems Clearly Explain the balance between police power and individual rights.

History

Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
6 0

In every society, the government needs to have what are called police powers.  What this means is that the governments need to have the right to uphold the laws.  Governments need to have this ability so that they can protect their citizens from others who would seek to prey on them.  Without police powers, for example, there is no one to protect us from being murdered or robbed, or otherwise harmed.

The problem is that the government can take away our rights in the process of trying to protect us.  For example, let us imagine that the government is worried about drug use.  It therefore declares that it has the right to test any person for drug use at any time.  It also declares that it has the right to search anyone’s house at any time for evidence of drug manufacture, sale, or use.  This would be great for law and order because it would make it much harder to get away with drug crimes, but it would be terrible for our rights.

Who is Völuspá plz help!!!!
dmitriy555 [2]

<u>Prophecy of the Volva</u>

Voluspa, or more accurately Völuspá is the first set of Viking Age poetry in the Poetic Edda, a Norse Mythology Book, some might say THE Norse Mythology book! The Völuspá translates to mean the “Prophecy of the Volva” or “Prophecy of the Seer.” A Volva was a wise-woman in old Norse culture.

It is commonly thought that the poem was composed in Iceland about the year 1000, when Icelanders perceived the fall of their ancient gods and the approach of Christianity. The story is told by an age-old seeress who was reared by primeval giants.

It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end, related to the audience by a völva(a Viking witch was known as a Völva, and they were considered to be powerful seeresses, shamans as well as workers of Seidr magic) addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander with knowledge of Christianity.
