Constitutions in Saudi Arabia

Dear,

This essay will be used for a part of a law presentation about Saudi Arabia. This means that it is not necessary to structure it like an essay. It should just be good to present. I would like you to write about the Constitution in Saudi Arabia. Who they are/what they do/ any important laws etc. It should be straight to the point, but with a good development. Feel free to include anything you think might be important. I will be talking for about three minutes, so it is important that i have as much information possible, but not always too complicated or too detailed such as in an essay. Thank you in advance and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Situation 1
Patty was a rich businessmans daughter. She had the best of everything all her life. Her future would have been college, a good marriage to a successful young man, and a life of comparative luxury, except that she was kidnapped by a small band of radical extremists who sought to overthrow the government by terror, intimidation, and robbery. After being raped, beaten, and locked in a small, dark closet for many days, and continually taunted and threatened, she was told she must participate with the terrorist gang in a bank robbery. If she didnt, she and her family would be killed. During the course of the robbery, a bank guard was shot.

Required questions to answer
Was her action immoral?
What if she had killed the guard?
What if the terrorists had kidnapped her mother or father, too, and told her if she didnt cooperate, they would kill her parents immediately?
What would you have done in her place?

Many readers might recognize this dilemma as the Patty Hearst case. In the 1970s, the Symbionese Liberation Army, a terrorist group, kidnapped the daughter of Randolph Hearst, the tycoon of a large newspaper chain. Her subsequent capture, trial, conviction, and prison sentence has been portrayed in books and movies and provide ripe material for questions of free will and legal and moral culpability.

Things to consider as you prepare your assignment

Example of Analysis:
Moral Judgment: Her participation was immoral.
Rules: One shouldnt hurt innocents.
One should protect innocents.
One cannot sacrifice innocents for oneself or family.
One should not break the law unless it is an unjust law.
Ethical System: Religion (thou shalt not kill)
An important point to this case is that just because behavior is understandable it isnt necessarily ethical or moral; one can never sacrifice innocent lives to save ones own. Be sure to distinguish between passivity and activity in her response.

Final Essay Question:
Truth is the key to making good and well-informed decisions in management. However, criminal justice organizations in some jurisdictions do not practice the ethics of truth. They do not create trust in their ability to deal with their citizens and fellow criminal justice organizations with truthfulness in a court of law. Many years ago, some folks said, if we dont clean this mess up, someone else is going to clean it up for us. The article you are reading for this essay was written in 2007, about three years after this old issue came back with a vengeance. It, too, will cost money, if you do not have a decisional policy point and procedure in place before that court date arrives. Do not ever think that it cannot happen here, because it always does. Two very key cases here: Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States.
The writer poses the true question in his title to be answered in full using the format as layed out below, Should Police Officers Who Lie Be Terminated as a Matter of Public Policy?
As you strive to answer the overall question, use the steps below to arrive at your final answers in route to the last one:
    It is simple, but is it fair?
    Is it possible that you could lose some really good personnel who only messed up once in their whole career?
    What effect will such a drastic measure have on the personnels families?
    If you keep them, will it affect the overall credibility of your agency?
    What conclusion does the writer reach? Why or why not?
    What policy would you recommend for your chief, sheriff, warden, state police commissioner, and/or any other affiliated executive with whom you may work?
The Final Essay is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.
