Recommended: Decision making easy

It was hard to decide if the manager of Sugarland should have been the one that made the decision, or if executive director Cynthia Hoye. Cynthia Hoye was the one in charge of the event, so she should have been the one to make the final decision. The manager of Sugarland was only asked to delay the concert, not to cancel it. The manager of Sugarland denied ever being asked to delay the concert. Cynthia and all the fair Commission officials first found out about the storm at 5:30pm. They were all in the trailer behind the Grandstand when the "National Weather Service gave them its fourth storm update in 2 1/2 hours" (Tuohy, 2015). The storm got worse as it grew closer to Central Indiana. It turned into small hail and 40 mph winds. The time

  • Bridget Bishop Case

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.

It destroyed nearly 7,000 homes in Joplin and damaged hundreds more. It covered over 1,800 acres of land. The warnings that the Joplin residents received were through three different ways.

    The Massie trial should be considered a trial of time because the trial consisted of the Hawaiian community being treated unfairly, majority of Hawaiians were characterized to be the rapist and not safe to be around. I also believe Thelma Massie wasn’t ever raped from the beginning I think she was mad because of the altercation she got into with the submarine at the club and wanted to blame it on someone else. And this trials shows how others didn’t agree with the trial decision and choose to take matters into their own hands, but also shows that when the rape test came back negative for during the first the courts should have checked for insanity in Thelma Massie.

In reportedly a matter of a few seconds for some towns, the tornado, stubbornly set on its path of destruction, swept through many towns. Despite how long the tornado may had taken to virtually obliterate them, the result was always the same, maximum damage and death (Haas). The ramifications of the tornado caused severe property damage and casualties, which amplified the dire need for aid and forced those who had lost their homes to quickly realize that actions needed to be taken.

Although fair officials were informed of the storms impending approach, they could not agree on whether to cancel the concert, as there was no person who had the final say. The decision was ultimately passed around from official to official, each with a different suggestion, from continuing the concert, to delaying it, to cancelling it altogether (Crandall, et al., 2014).
