Adnan's Obligation: A Case Study
When I started hearing the podcast, I knew that the ending of the podcast won’t be the end of the case. Even though I was expecting some fact that would prove Adnan’s innocence or guilty. As Larson said the podcast was all about doubts. Doubts on every aspect and everyone. The twelfth episode is a package of old mysteries doubt with a new couple of doubts. Those doubts which has not been cleared from 15

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Serial

    Serial, is a Podcast produced by an investigative journalist and a former reporter for the Baltimore Sun named Sarah Koenig. Serial is a spinoff produced by the WBEZ 91.5 Chicago radio station and This American life. This specific podcast addresses the 1999 case of Adnan Syed vs The State of Maryland. In this case, Adnan is being accused for the murder of his former girlfriend Hae Min Lee. More than fifteen years later, this case once again sparked controversy when aired in 2014 through the podcast. In Serial, reporter Sarah Koenig intended to seek justice for Adnan by portraying him as innocent, which listeners can tell through the three rhetorical appeals; ethos, pathos and logos which she presents throughout the case along with interviews, evidence and personal statements.…

    Serial Podcast Analysis

    At the end of the podcast, Sarah makes a final conclusion of over a year of research and interviews. Normally this would be a “yes, he is guilty” or “he is innocent” type of answer, but Sarah says that there are too many unknowns about the case, and no solid evidence. She said she hopes that DNA testing will prove if Adnan is actually the murderer, but she can not say exactly who did it yet as nobody knows. This proves that she is definitely not biased, as she would have taken a side, and after a year of research she has still stayed neutral to both…

    Adnan Masud Jjy Case Study

    Every day there are cases with little to no evidence and people going to jail despite the lack of evidence. That very thing happened to Adnan Masud Syed; On February 25, 2000, he was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Hae Min Lee. In January of 1999 Hae’s body was found manhandling strangled in a shallow grave in (name of park) one month after she went missing. Jay Wilds, Syed’s best friend, says he helped Syed dump her dead body but was not there for the murder. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? It is hard to convict someone of murder with no physical evidence.…

    Sarah Koenig's Murder Case Analysis

    Koenig develops these theories as an advantage to overwhelm the reader. One of which is that Adnan Syed is a psychopath that actually did commit the crime, although Koenig never reveals if she agrees with this theory, she does present evidence for it such as Adnan making a phone call from towers by Leakin Park (episode 6) and Adnan allegedly asking Hae for a ride the evening of January 13th (episode 5) suggesting that it was Adnan’s motive to kill Hae. Another shocking theory was mentioned in the last episode, it reveals the murderer to be, Robert Lee, a serial killer that escaped jail 13 days before Hae went missing and was known for targeting korean women. While he was out he was actively involved in crimes involving 2 rapes and a murder case (paraphrase of ep. 12). Along with these two huge plot twisting developments to the podcast there were several small theories analyzing Adnans initial motive to potentially kill Hae, to the possibility of Dawn, Hae’s current boyfriend at the time, being involved in the murder, even theories analyzing certain phone calls made from Adnan’s phone throughout the day. Ultimately there are infinite possibilities of exactly what happened the evening of January 13th, 1999. Koenig remains seemingly unbiased & introduces each theory equally to make it difficult to choose just one over the other. This cracks the listener & influences the audience that perhaps no one theory can singley explain such a mess of a crime case. With many multiple theories & supporting evidence for each, Koenig ensures it is impossible to decipher which theory to beleive because there is not enough supporting evidence for any of…

    Adnan Masud Syed's Guilty Case

    The reason the other side believes Adnan is guilty is because of one person; no, not Adnan himself; Jay, who says Adnan told him he was going to kill Hae. More importantly, Jay himself says that Adnan showed Hae’s body to him, as put: “I noticed that Hae wasn't with him. I parked next to him. He asked me to get out the car. I get out the car. He asks me, am I ready for this? And I say, ready for what?” And he takes the keys. He opens the trunk. And all I can see is Hae's lips are all blue, and she's pretzeled up in the back of the trunk. And she's dead.” (Episode I, Page 10). Jay is claiming to have been shown the body of Hae, and he is placing Adnan at the very scene of the crime. How believable is Jay, because according to Sarah and Bill Ritz, Jay’s story repeatedly keeps on changing. Sarah explains to the audience, “I put it to Bill Ritz when I talked to him briefly on the phone. Jay's story kept changing. You were catching the inconsistencies and he was having to explain them and clean up his story. So what ultimately made you believe him? Ritz said they believed Jay's story because “we were able to investigate and corroborate what he was saying.” (Episode 4, Page 68). Jay’s inaccuracies are either due the the fact that he…

    Ethics is the study of what is deemed for something to be morally right and wrong (1). Ethics can be considered a ‘moral code’ that consists of an individual’s personal standards and based on community moral standards, therefore can be very subjective to interpretation.

    Analysis of Rights and Duties in Nepal

    Nepal is still running under strong feudalistic social values and norms. There were no clear provisions regarding Nepalese women and property rights until 1975. Following the UN Declaration of 1975, which was International Women's Year, the Nepali government began to celebrate International Women's Day on the 8th of March. That same year, the Civil Code was amended and a clause on women's inheritance and property rights included. The clause states that if a woman remains unmarried up to 35 years of age, she would have a right to inherit property. However, the amendment limits itself as it continues "if she gets marriage after having property that should be returned back to the brothers by deducting the marriage cost."…
