The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In judging whether this is fair handling of the case, ask:

A. Is it fair to Eddie?

Youngsters have to learn to be responsible for their life. They know that for every action there is a consequence. In this case, it is the third time that this happened. So it is not new for him, and he really knew what he was entering. So he got what he deserves.

B. Is it fair to Best Buy?

Best Buy is a serious company with a good reputation in the market. It has to follow rules and regulations and respect the law. Eddie is a criminal and there are procedures to be followed.

C. Is it fair to society?

I think this is not a matter of fairness, but to obey the law that is the same to all. This application of the law allows people to live in harmony in society. Otherwise, everybody would act according to their interests and advantages.

D. Is it in the best interest of society to punish Eddie severely?

It is in the best interest of society to punish Eddie to give a clear message. It's the law. You have to obey it, otherwise, there would be chaos in society. Furthermore, it was not the first time Eddie committed a crime, it is the third time. He had his chances to improve his conduct and learn his lessons. He decided otherwise. And as I said, for every action there is a consequence.

Which impact did the Trail of Tears have on the Cherokee people?
timama [110]

<em>B. Many of them died during the migration.</em>

Explanation:

The Trail of Tears was the walk the Native Americans did after being forced from their land by the United States government.

The U.S. government wanted to expand, but Native Americans were living in the land they wanted to expand into, so decided to move them to present day Oklahoma, where they were not planning on doing anything with quite yet.

The Indian Removal Act was officially passed in 1830, which finally made it so the Natives had to leave or they would be forcefully thrown out. They did not want to leave and some even tried to revolt, but it was no use, as they did not have the resources or man power against the United States government.

Since they did not leave while planned and had to be forced out of their homes, many were not properly prepared. They were forced to walk and be kept in camps along the way. Many ended up dying from diseases, starvation, or because of the weather. This walk is called the Trail of Tears, where <em>thousands </em>of Native Americans died.

How did the united states battle the great depression
mart [117]
The Great Depression was the worsteconomic crisis in U.S. history. From 1931 to 1940 unemployment was always in double digits. ... Those war jobs seemingly took care of the 17 million unemployed in 1939. Most historians have therefore cited the massive spending during wartime as the event that ended the Great Depression
