Rev. Iss. 3 (1980) Available at: https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/plr/vol7/iss3/6 This Comment is brought to you for free and open access by the Caruso School of Law at Pepperdine Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Pepperdine Law Review by an authorized editor of Pepperdine Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Piercing the Religious Veil of the So-Called Cults Since the horror of Jonestown, religious cults have been a frequent sub- ject of somewhat speculative debate. Federal and state governments, and private groups alike have undertaken exhaustive studies of these "cults" in order to monitor and sometimes regulate their activities, and to publicize their often questionable tenets and practices. The author offers a compre- hensive overview of these studies, concentrating on such areas as recruit- ment, indoctrination, deprogramming, fund raising, and tax exemption and evasion. Additionally, the author summarizes related news events and profiles to illustrate these observations,and to provide the stimulusfor further thought and analysis as to the impact these occurrences may have on the future of religion and religiousfreedom. I. INTRODUCTION An analysis of public opinion would likely reveal that the exist- ence of religious cults' is a relatively new phenomenon, but his- torians, social scientists and students of religion alike are quick to point out that such groups, though cyclical in nature, have simi- 2 larly prospered and have encountered adversity for centuries.

  • Preserving the Record
    Chapter Seven: Preserving the Record Edward G. O’Connor, Esquire Patrick R. Kingsley, Esquire Echert Seamans Cherin & Mellot Pittsburgh PRESERVING THE RECORD I. THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING THE RECORD. Evidentiary rulings are seldom the basis for a reversal on appeal. Appellate courts are reluctant to reverse because of an error in admitting or excluding evidence, and sometimes actively search for a way to hold that a claim of error in an evidence ruling is barred. R. Keeton, Trial Tactics and Methods, 191 (1973). It is important, therefore, to preserve the record in the trial court to avoid giving the Appellate Court the opportunity to ignore your claim of error merely because of a technicality. II. PRESERVING THE RECORD WHERE THE TRIAL COURT HAS LET IN YOUR OPPONENT’S EVIDENCE. A. The Need to Object: 1. Preserving the Issue for Appeal. A failure to object to the admission of evidence ordinarily constitutes a waiver of the right to object to the admissibility or use of that evidence. Taylor v. Celotex Corp., 393 Pa. Super. 566, 574 A.2d 1084 (1990). If there is no objection, the court is not obligated to exclude improper evidence being offered. Errors in admitting evidence at trial are usually waived on appeal unless a proper, timely objection was made during the trial. Commonwealth v. Collins, 492 Pa. 405, 424 A.2d 1254 (1981). The rules of appellate procedure are meant to afford the trial judge an opportunity to correct any mistakes that have been made before these mistakes can be a basis of appeal. A litigator will not be allowed to ambush the trial judge by remaining silent at trial and voice an objection to the Appellate Court only after an unfavorable verdict or judgment is reached.

  • Representations of Diversity in the Children's Educational Television
    Who are the People in your Neighborhood? Representations of Diversity in the Children’s Educational Television Show Sesame Street Veronica Hauad EDUP&L 834 – MON/WED 1:30pm The goal of this lesson is to help students assess the representation of racial and ethnic diversity (or total lack thereof) in media. This specific lesson will address the representation of diversity in the children’s educational television show Sesame Street. Overview More than ever, very young children are watching television. They are watching on the weekends, after school, and sometimes even in the classroom as a means of learning. If television is going to play such an important part in the lives of children, it is imperative that parents and educators highlight the television shows that will be the most beneficial for their children to watch. Ideally television shows geared toward young children would be as educational as possible, both in the traditional school sense as well as culturally educational. Since the show’s inception, the creators of Sesame Street have strived to provide both kinds of education. Sesame Street first aired in 1969. The creators of the show developed Sesame Street with the goal of improving school readiness in urban socioeconomically disadvantaged children. Segments highlighted the introduction of letters of the alphabet, numbers, and shapes and colors. But the show was also designed to promote positive images of diversity. The show’s creators hoped that positive media representations of racial and ethnic minorities would not only boost cultural pride and self-confidence, but they would also enhance awareness and understanding.
