What are 3 examples of the 7th amendment?
7th Amendment The Seventh Amendment serves to ensure that civil litigants are entitled to jury trials, much as the Sixth Amendment gives criminal defendants the right to be tried by a jury of peers. The amendment originated when it was noted near the end of the Constitutional Convention that no provision had yet been made for juries in civil cases. An attempt to add the provision was defeated, but the guarantee to the right of a jury in civil cases was one of the amendments urged on Congress by the ratifying conventions. The Seventh Amendment was finally passed without debate. A drunk driver doing 60mph rear-ends a Ford Escort, killing the driver of the Escort. A jury, handing down a $27 million verdict for the victim's family, decrees that Ford Motor Co. is 40% responsible for this accident and thus on the hook for the whole award. A 17-year-old falls asleep at the wheel, crosses into oncoming traffic and crashes his SUV head-on into a Dodge Caravan. The driver of the Caravan is killed when the passenger behind her, not wearing a seat belt, plows into her seat. The jury delivers a $49 million punitive-damages award against DaimlerChrysler. In a victory for women, a U.S. district court judge last week (this happened in May 2004) set today as the deadline for Dow Corning to begin processing claims from thousands of women who suffered complications from the silicone breast implants the company manufactured until the early 1990s. The money will come from a $2.35 billion fund created in one of the largest class-action settlements in U.S. history. This amendment has become VERY controversial as juries often award HUGE sums of money to people out of pity - without realy understanding the cases.

Short story ideas with the same theme as The Odyssey or just story ideas i could alter to fit. HELP NEEDED!?
The Odyssey is about a journey home made by a war hero. It discusses its trials and triumphs. If you know any older person, or even if you dont, that went to war overseas, that could be a good start. It is a coming of age epic, but its more about the journey and homecoming. I would go with that....you could even talk about yourself. For example, you go away to camp and you have an akwardly hard time returning home. Hope that helped
What is the importance of moral education?
Like any other project of education the importance of moral education is to know something about the world and yourself.Moral education is about knowing how to behavior given certain conditions of the world (e.g., models of the world). It’s about how to govern yourself in some given context of human experience. It’s about value and meaning.If no moral education, you’ll be lost in this world without any sense of meaning, order or any model of systematic right and wrong. You’ll be limited in your understanding of the world and of yourself.
