I believe it’s important to have rules for Saudi creators on social media to ensure their content aligns with the values of Saudi culture. The new law helps protect Saudi traditions and prevents offensive or inappropriate content from being shared. This is done to make sure that social media is not used to spread harmful ideas that could damage Saudi society.
The law also helps keep young people safe online by filtering out explicit or violent content. It encourages creators to think about how their content might affect viewers and encourages them to make educational and inspiring content instead. By promoting responsible content creation, the law creates a safer and more positive online environment. So, these are my reasons why I agree that the new law sets boundaries for Saudi creators on social media to protect culture, prevent harm, and create a better online space
Paragraph 1:
Saudi Arabia has introduced a new law that affects social media content creators, including both Saudi and non-Saudi individuals. According to this law, content creators must obtain a permit if they want to make money through advertising on social media platforms. The permit is valid for three years and requires a fee. The main purpose of this law is to regulate and monitor the influencer industry, ensuring transparency and professionalism. By obtaining the permit, influencers can show that they follow the laws and values of the Kingdom. The law also provides legal protection for influencers and businesses involved in influencer marketing, and it establishes standard rates and contractual obligations to promote fair practices.
paragraph 2:
Non-Saudi residents interested in influencer marketing must be represented by specific advertising agencies and go through a two-step process. They need to acquire a permit from the Ministry of Investment before applying for the influencer permit from the General Commission for the Audiovisual Media (GCAM). The law does not apply to businesses and entities advertising their own products or services on social media platforms. This regulation creates a regulated environment for influencers in Saudi Arabia, promoting transparency, accountability, and responsible content creation. It provides a professional platform for influencers to monetize their social media presence, contributing to the industry’s growth and development.

Case Brief Assignment
For your case brief assignment, you should first read the assigned Court decision(IT IS ATTACHED). The case “Marbury v. Madison” should be written according to the following guidelines, using the bolded topics as section headings in the order specified. It should be no longer than two pages (typed, double-spaced, 12 font/Times New Roman). DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF PLAGIARISM OR AI, IT WILL BE DETECTED AND PUNISHED.
Title and Citation: List the name of the case, the citation listed in text, and the year.
Background: You should provide a BRIEF contextual backstory to the case at hand. See my presentation/powerpoint presentation(IT IS ATTACHED) for an example.
Facts: You should present the relevant facts necessary to understand the “story line” and pertinent to the issue(s) raised. Make sure that you write it in such a way that not only you understand it, but that someone reading it without knowledge of the case can understand the case enough to discuss the issues. This can be difficult as everything seems important (it is not). You must paraphrase.
Issue(s): The only relevant issue(s) is/are the one(s) that result in a decision by the Court. Each issue should be ONE line. To be safe, you should (but are not required) to word the issue as, “whether…” (e.g., whether capital punishment is disproportionate to the crime of rape committed by an adult, thereby violating the 8th Amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause). You can frame the issue as a question if you choose (e.g., Is capital punishment disproportionate to the crime of rape committed by an adult, thereby violating the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the 8th Amendement?) Be sure to number the issues if there are more than one (and make sure the holding/s address each issue, respectively). Be specific in the issue.
Holding: The holding should be one word to one sentence and directly address the issue(s) you identified. The holding should reflect the majority opinion. Do not identify dissents or multiple opinions (sometimes justices agree on the outcome, but for multiple reasons, in which case more than one justice in the majority may write an opinion). Note: This is the DECISION.
Opinion/Reasoning: This may be the most difficult part of writing a case brief, as the reasoning in the court’s opinion will often go “back and forth” and refer to other cases. You should distill the reasoning down to key points that explain the court’s decision. You should summarize the key justification points in your own words. You can quote the Court briefly if you cannot find a better way to paraphrase the material—you must use quotations, and your use of quotations should be minimal (and appropriate). You can either number the key points (again, you can have more than one sentence for each line of reasoning, if it makes theoretical sense to do that), or you can write up the justification in a paragraph (definitely not more than two paragraphs and it only should exceed one paragraph if the case is complex). For this first assignment, I suggest you look at pages 40-44 of the Marbury v. Madison PDF.
Your Opinion: In this section, you are to critically analyze the opinion of the court and state your own conclusion as to how you would rule on the issue(s) raised in the case. You should state your own reasoning to support your conclusion. You are free to agree or disagree with the court’s opinion and/or dissent, and you should cite points that you found persuasive or non-persuasive/errant in those opinions. This section should be about a paragraph long and in your own words.
Questions: If you have any questions about the case, list them here. If you think of other issues the Court should have raised (or dealt with), but didn’t, identify them here. There are times the Court will take on a case, but only address a small part of it, which can have large ramifications for law, policy, the justice system, and other social and political issues. This section of the brief is optional.

“In chapter three of the text “The Juvenile Justice System Delinquency , Processing and the Law” by Alida V. Merlo we have come across and examined several theories pertaining to criminality and delinquency. As stated in the text, “The sociological theories of juvenile delinquency pre- sented in this section include (1) the concentric zone hypothesis, (2) the subculture theory of delinquency, (3) the anomie theory of delinquency, (4) labeling theory, (5) bonding theory, and (6) Agnew’s general strain theory.” (Pg.72) These are the several theories regarding criminality and delinquency. In conclusion we will see which of these theories can be applied to stories being told by the incarcerated youth. In the documentary film “Raised in the System” we see a widespread of teens in correctional facilities. Facilities such as Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility and others we will come across. In the film, we see Michael Kenneth Williams who is a profound actor and has a little bit of history and can relate to incarcerated youth offenders. The two theories that I can apply to the particular stories told is the subculture theory of delinquency. I would apply this theory to the story of Kriston who is charged with improper fire handling at the age of 16, in the Green Haven Correctional Facility. During the interview with Mr.Williams, Kriston stated that “it became a trend to be a gang banger. It became a trend to have that money.” He often enjoyed doing criminal activities with his good friend. I feel like they did these things to often make a subculture of their own and fit in with their own sense of group. Hence, Subculture Theory of Delinquency. Another theory that I would apply is the Bonding Theory. In this theory, it theory stresses processual aspects of youth becoming bonded or socially inte- grated into the norms of society (Mack et al., 2007). The greater the integration or bonding, particularly with parents and school teachers, the less the likelihood that youth will engage in delinquent activities. I apply this theory to Deandre’s story. He is now a program member with a child. With proper guidance and relationship Deandre turned his life around and was able to get a job. ONS the group that helped Deandre has opened many doors for young men in the program for gainful in employment. Moreover there are the theories I applied to specific stories that were told in the film. ”

“First thing’s first, RIP Michael K. Williams.
Two theories I’ve applied to the documentary, are Social Control Theory and Strain Theory. To me, Social Control Theory, is the basis of why these juvenile’s lives have been shaped the way it is. Social Control Theory, is when people are socially integrated into the norms of society. These kids have been incarcerated at young ages, because they come from an environment that lacked resources, that would be conducive for them later on in life. For example, there was a scene where all the men was gathered in a room, and asked questions by another inmate, and he asked them to raise their hands if they’ve been incarcerated since they were kids. Alot of them raised their hands, saying they were in prison since they were about 16, now being in their 40’s and up. There was another scene, being one of the first scenes, where this young lady was given 33 years, for grand theft auto charges– being incarcerated since she was about 13 or 14. She said that she grew up in a household of poverty, and the streets was all she knew, so that’s what she stuck to. Crime in the street regulated the way her behavior, and like many other juveniles because that’s all they knew. Another example, is an older guy saying society didn’t give him the example of lawyer nor doctor in his neighborhood to watch and aspire to be like. All he knew was how to sell drugs, fight, and using a gun because that’s all he saw growing up. I applied Strain Theory, because there was a young man who was placed on a community center program, being detained for carrying a weapon at age 16. He had to follow rules, one of those rules were coming home, and passing drug tests. He claimed he didn’t come home because his mom often tried to make him go to church, and he didn’t believe in God. She stormed out because she didn’t like hearing that. He also claimed that she get that way because she tries to make him into someone that he doesn’t want to be. Strain theory is fitting because his mom wanting him to go to church and being religious, was cultural approval which further pushed him to rebel, and not want to come home. But not following these rules, was a downfall to deterring him from crime and streets.”

” The third chapter focuses on the theories of why juveniles commit delinquent acts, which theory can best be used towards delinquent behavior, the different models that are used to deal with juvenile offenders and lastly the prevention/intervention programs that are being used today. The first half of the chapter was a refresher for me as it connected to other classes and reminded me of some of the theories that are used to explain why people commit violent and in this case delinquent acts. One of those theories was classical theory. This theory, according to Merlo and Benekos (2019), determines that individuals are rational thinkers who because of free will have a choice between good and evil. Furthermore those that commit criminal acts do so because they are motivated by a personal need or greed. Two other theories that were refreshers were social learning theory and labeling theory. According to Merlo and Benekos (2019) social learning theory implies that juveniles learn how to behave from significant others like parents or other adults like teachers and peers. For example violent home environments may expose and cause some youth to exhibit antisocial and aggressive behavior. Labeling theory on the hand according to Merlo and Benekos (2019) alludes to the fact that individuals define themselves as deviant after others have labeled them so. For example Merlo and Benekos (2019) note that this labeling process can start as soon as the first contact between a juvenile and law enforcement. After this experience with law enforcement some juveniles may start to see themselves as delinquent and continue down the path of offending. Besides these theories the models on how to deal with offending juveniles was an interesting section to read. One of the models was the rehabilitation model. This model, according to Merlo and Benekos (2019), benefits juveniles who have offended for the first time. Officers in this model seek to level with the juvenile and attempt to assist the juvenile in realizing their wrong and in turn avoid offending again. The opposite model of this is the crime model which is a more punitive model. Instead of trying to provide rehabilitation like the model of the same name, this model revolves around the idea that the only way to deal with persistent juvenile offenders is to incarcerate them. Another interesting model is the Sanctuary model which focuses on providing care for children who commit delinquent acts that are rooted in childhood trauma and abuse. This model, according to Merlo and Benekos (2019), seeks to help juveniles address and resolve their trauma which can lead from an unstabilized behavior to a stable one. This model is on track with that of the rehabilitation model where we focus on addressing the issues these juveniles have instead of burying and worsening it under punitive measures. ”
“Last semester, I actually took Criminology 101 so reading this chapter was basically a summary of the whole class. It was actually my favorite class so far, so it was refreshing to reread the material again. When I took that class, we read through all the theories on criminal behavior. I came to the conclusion that it is not just classical, biological, or sociological theories. But they are all added together. I explain it like this: There is no one moment in my life that shaped me into the person I am today. It was a combination of many moments and my genetics. I believe the same goes for criminal behavior.
” I fully believe that people are aware of the weight of their actions and the consequences that come from those actions. Society has an obligation to establish what those consequences are. The consequences, whether it be fines, jail time, or even death prevent people from committing crimes. I still believe that people have free will to make their own choices; however, they may have some biological factors that push them to that choice. I also believe that psychological theories can play a factor, whether it be mental conditions or childhood development. It is also important to take into account that criminal behavior can also be a learned behavior. If a child learns that certain behaviors are normal, they will begin to emulate those same behaviors.The class I took last semester only applied these theories to adults. Now that I am looking at these theories through the lens of juveniles, it gets way more complicated. I think it is hard to assign the classical theory to juveniles. Depending on age, some children do not understand the weight of their actions. From my own experience, I have memories from the age of three and up. But I really do not remember being in “control” of my actions until I was around 8 years old, if that makes sense. As for how to handle delinquents, I am for the rehabilitation and treatment model. I am against the other models, specifically the noninterventionist model. I think the rehab and treatment models help give children a guide for their behavior, such as having good role models, and if mental health is an issue, they can treat that. I think the noninterventionist model is the worst because if children are left to their own accord, the behavior could continue to worsen. I think the other models focus too much on crime, and leave the children feeling like all they are criminals. However, the restorative justice model can beneficial if all parties are willing participants.”
