Identifying Patterns Of Ethical Sensitivity In Tv News Viewers: An Assessment Of Some Critical Viewing Skills, Rebecca A. Lind, Tammy T. Swenson Lepper, David L. Rarick Jan 1998

Identifying Patterns Of Ethical Sensitivity In Tv News Viewers: An Assessment Of Some Critical Viewing Skills, Rebecca A. Lind, Tammy T. Swenson Lepper, David L. Rarick

Communication Studies Faculty Works

This study applies a multidimensional assessment of ethical sensitivity to 104 viewers' descriptions and evaluations of a local TV news story about a hit-and-run accident. Ethical sensitivity is measured along four dimensions or abilities: ability to notice relevant story characteristics, ethical issues, consequences, and stakeholders. Cluster analysis reveals eight distinct clusters or patterns of ethical sensitivity abilities, which we label broadly aware, outcome oriented, consequence oriented, stakeholder oriented, issue oriented, fact oriented, outcome oriented, and broadly unaware.

Influence Of Medium On Generation Of Localized Charges In Beo By The Exposure Of The Electrical Discharge In Air And Oxygen, M.M. Aliev Jan 1998

Influence Of Medium On Generation Of Localized Charges In Beo By The Exposure Of The Electrical Discharge In Air And Oxygen, M.M. Aliev

Turkish Journal of Physics

The EPR-method is used to investigate the regularity of the formation of paramagnetic $ F^+$- and $ V^-$ centers (PC) in BeO which are generated by barrier electrical discharge (ED) in air and oxygen under reduced pressure. It was determined that, at different powers of discharge or parameters E/P, the maximums of kinetic curves of PC- accumulation in oxygen in comparison with air plasma forming medium are changed with resspect to both their value and position, depending on the interaction of oxygen atoms and ions $O, O^+, O^-, O^+_2, O^-_2,\ldots)$ with BeO surface. These exposures resulted in decreasing rate of …

Beyond Rfra: Free Exercise Of Religion Comes Of Age In The State Courts, Daniel A. Crane Jan 1998

Beyond Rfra: Free Exercise Of Religion Comes Of Age In The State Courts, Daniel A. Crane

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article provides an alternative perspective to the assumption that the battle for free exercise exemptions must be waged at the federal level. Like the vast majority of the law review commentators, this Author believes that Smith was wrongly, even dangerously, decided. However, unlike many of those who reject Smith, this Author also believes that if we must accept Smith as a baseline, RFRA is unconstitutional as applied to the states. 3 This Article argues that even if RFRA may not constitutionally be applied to the states, the concept of free exercise exemptions need not be pronounced dead or even …

Presumed Guilty Until Proven Innocent: Using Results Of Statistical Or Econometric Studies As Evidence, John M. Tyson Jan 1998

Presumed Guilty Until Proven Innocent: Using Results Of Statistical Or Econometric Studies As Evidence, John M. Tyson

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article examines the prerequisites required before results of statistical or econometric studies based upon empirical data should be admitted into evidence in light of the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in McCleskey v. Kemp. In addition, it reviews other cases in which results of statistical studies were considered are reviewed to define and describe the methods applied. Moreover, to determine whether proper safeguards exist to justify their role in the American Justice System, the Article examines the inherent tension between traditional judicial fact-finding and admitting results of quantitative studies based on empirical data as evidence.

Tobacco Company Liability Under Mail Fraud, Juan Carlos Lopez-Campillo Jan 1998

Tobacco Company Liability Under Mail Fraud, Juan Carlos Lopez-Campillo

St. Thomas Law Review

In the United States, tobacco products are heavily advertised. Advertising budgets of tobacco companies have increased more than 1,500% between 1970 and 1992. In 1993, $6.2 billion were spent by tobacco companies on advertising and promoting their products. This Comment examines whether the mail fraud statute applies where tobacco consumers read advertising printed in newspapers or magazines mailed to subscribers, in furtherance of the companies' fraudulent scheme. If so, the second element of mail fraud is satisfied, and tobacco company executives may then be held criminally liable for their fraudulent deception of the American public.

Publicity In High Profile Criminal Cases, H. Patrick Furman Jan 1998

Publicity In High Profile Criminal Cases, H. Patrick Furman

St. Thomas Law Review

Many may wonder about the wisdom of having a criminal lawyer discuss the ethical problems associated with high profile cases. Over the past few years, the performances of criminal lawyers on the public stage have been decidedly uneven with respect to professionalism and ethical behavior. We witnessed the spectacle of People v. Simpson. There, it seemed that the lawyers spent more time in front of the camera than in front of the bench. Ironically, after the trial, half of the lawyers got their own television shows. The Simpson trial was an event which deserved to be labeled a trial only …

Chevron Doctrine In Federal Indian Law And The Agencies' Duty To Interpret Legislation In Favor Of Indians: Did The Epa Reconcile The Two In Interpreting The Tribes As States Section Of The Clean Water Act?, Alex Tallchief Skibine Jan 1998

Chevron Doctrine In Federal Indian Law And The Agencies' Duty To Interpret Legislation In Favor Of Indians: Did The Epa Reconcile The Two In Interpreting The Tribes As States Section Of The Clean Water Act?, Alex Tallchief Skibine

St. Thomas Law Review

Part II of the Article discusses whether there is an ambiguity in the CWA, and if so, whether the EPA should be given Chevron deference in its interpretation of the Act. After concluding that there is an ambiguity in the statute and that Chevron is applicable, this Article discusses what role, in the Chevron inquiry, should be played by the rule of statutory construction mandating that federal statutes enacted for the benefit of Indians be construed liberally with ambiguities resolved in their favor. This rule will be referred to as the Indian liberal construction rule. This Article takes the position …

Poststructural Analysis Of The Power And Class Behind The Formalistic Application Of Erisa Preemption Of State Law, Erik Nelson Jan 1998

Poststructural Analysis Of The Power And Class Behind The Formalistic Application Of Erisa Preemption Of State Law, Erik Nelson

St. Thomas Law Review

This comment presents a poststructural approach to the current formulation of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974. Part I details the context in which Congress created federal protection for ERISA beneficiaries. Part II illustrates how the judiciary wavered in its broad preemptive construction of ERISA before ultimately privileging a construction of ERISA which denied ERISA beneficiaries extracontractual and punitive damages. Part III will examine deconstruction and its impact on the jurisprudence of the federal courts. Part IV embarks on a deconstructionist analysis of the "relates to" preemptive provision of ERISA to reveal that the only rationality to …
