...NEGLIGENCE Tort Law is a field that encompasses material of considerable breadth and diversity and whose existence, as a reflected in individual actions seeking civil redress for injuries nor arising out of contractual relations can be traced can be traced back to primitive societies. (White, 2003 p.23) A ‘tort’ is a Norman word for a ‘wrong’ but ‘torts’ have typically been distinguished from crimes and from ‘wrongs’ identified with contractual relations. Tort Law is concerned with civil wrongs not arising from contracts. We can see the shifting character of Tort Law in nineteenth and twentieth century America as deriving from the shifting ideas of legal scholars and judges particularly ideas about the civil responsibilities of a person to his or her neighbors in society and about the manner in which society should respond to injuries and injured people. An independent identity for Torts late in the nineteenth century is the affection of tort doctrines, especially negligence, to the problems produced by industrialization. Industrialization has played a part in creating the climate of intellectual legal opinion and it affected torts as an independent category of law. Some certain lawyer-intellectuals in the development of legal doctrine in America, who were academicians after 1870, significantly affected the content of tort rules and doctrines and also affected the changing state of tort law in America. There are many categories of Torts. It...

...process where a civil court, after the initial restraint, and after all the interested parties have had a chance to make their case, orders that ownership of the property changes. The new owner could be a victim, a group of victims, or the provincial government (who will pay the revenue to victims programs). This action is not part of the criminal process and is independent of that. It is not another form of criminal punishment. Page 13 Questions 1. Law is the system of rules that regulates the actions of people and may enforce by imposition of penalties. 2. The Civil Law legal system originated in Europe which is based on the Roman Law. Civil law is a group of legal ideas and systems ultimately derived from the Code of Justinian. 3. England is the origin of the common law that exists in the U.S..

...Homework week 4 Question 47.1 In this case Buder v. Sartore, for 12 years, Theodore Alexander Buder’s father made substantial gifts to his minor grandchildren. During the period Buder and Sartore were going through divorce. Money was given to Buder to safeguard for his kids with the understanding that he would safeguard the money and invest it on behalf of the children. Buder invested money in “blue chip” stock and penny stock on his name as custodian for the children, as required by the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA).This stocks suffered a major loss except one Buder’s ex-wife, Sartore, sued him, alleging that he had breached his fiduciary duty owed to the children under the UGMA. She sought to recover the funds lost by Buder’s investment of the children’s funds in penny stocks. Sartore wins the case on behalf of her children; Buder must make up for the losses suffered by the children’s accounts because of his investment of their funds in penny stocks. The court held that a custodian of children’s funds subject to the Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) owes a duty of care when investing the minor’s money. According to the Business Law textbook by Cheeseman, these laws establish procedures for adults to make irrevocable gifts of money and securities to minors. Gifts of money can be made by depositing the money in an account in a financial institution, with the donor or another trustee (e.g., another adult or bank) as custodian for the minor. Gifts of securities can be...

...16-1 Ethics Questions I don’t think Brandt have a reasonable case against the health center. What he want to do is trying to sue everyone possible and see if there’s any chance he might get more compensation. Health center cannot recover its layers’ fees in this case as also the court decision call out that the case is provision of services and not the sale of goods but the sling was still sold to Brandt by health center. Ethically, health center should recover Brandt’s complications and not asking to recover its lawyers’ fees in this case as health center already win the case 17-1 Ethics Questions In this case, Malmberg act unethically. Lindholm authorized Malmberg the possession of Red Elvis to loan this art to the museum, however, Malmberg sold this art instead of loan it. He breach the agreement, violate the professional ethics as well as involved in fraud criminal. Lindholm do have some responsibility for her loss, she trust Malmberg too much based on their 30 year collaboration, so that she directly give Malmberg the permission to obtain possession of the art instead of adding more detailed rules to protect herself within the agreement. P315 Ethics I do think the concept of good faith promoter ethical behavior. Good faith requires the contract parties to be more apt to perform properly, which can more or less help in ethical behavior as there’s a standard comes out. I think the vagueness of the terms can help in determining the legality as not every case...

...The low understanding level accompanied by discouraging achievements of the students has become cause of great concern of our country and has bothered badly the educationists, parents and government. The educationists have made a number of systematic efforts to find out the causes of deterioration and suggested remedies thereof. Almost all the commissions and education policies The quality of a nation depends on the quality of its citizens. Also qualities of citizens depend on the quality of the education they achieved and quality of the education besides other factors depends upon study habits and attitude of students. The quality of education is reflected academic achievement which is a function of study habits and attitudes of students. Thus, to enhance the quality of education, it is necessary to improve the study habits and study attitudes of students. To improve study habits, those factors which hinder its effectiveness must be addressed. Identification of these factors may lead towards remedial measures. No two people study the same way, and there is little doubt that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. No one would argue that every subject that you have to take is going to be so interesting that studying it is not work but pleasure. We can only wish. Everyone is different, and for some students, studying and being motivated to learn comes naturally. If you are reading this...

(Socrates)5) "To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know."

...Back to the Classroom Parents who went to school in the past were taught differently than the way we are taught today. Many were impecunious in the past; the students were pushed harder, helping them gain scholarships for college. There weren’t many distractions technologically speaking. History has been evolving; curriculum wasn’t as simple as it is now as it was back then. Teachers taught students with discipline and respect. Students in the past weren’t wealthy which caused them to work and be pushed even harder. For example, my mother had a rough childhood, because my grandparents weren’t wealthy at the time. She had to work really hard to keep her grades up. Students were expected by their parents to do well in school; gain scholarships and hopefully attend college. Students didn’t have the proper supplies to complete their course work such as pens and pencils. In the 1900s; students were not very motivated, the only motivation received was from pushing themselves to do better. Quandom students were way more disciplined then the minds of today. Whenever they caused problems they got whacked across the face for misbehaving. If they were to utter words during a lesson or during a time of silence they also got disciplined. When spoken to many students answered “yes and no mam”. When looking at how money and discipline worked in the past and comparing them to now and days we can obviously see a huge difference. Now in the 21st Century we as a generation don’t...

...Lindsay Smith ENCV – 0027-01C Topic 1 22, April 2015 881 Words Challenges Encountered on My First Semester Back at College When I first decided to return to college for spring semester, I didn’t realize how difficult it would be. The last time I stepped foot on this campus was eight years ago and I didn’t have any responsibilities. I wasn’t a mom or a wife back then. I was 18 years old and full of ambition and the desire to make something of myself. But things changed once I met with my now ex-boyfriend Michael; he had money and owned an online marketing company. It was exciting to learn new things and Michael helped me create my own online marketing company. That seemed like an amazing feat at the age of 19. I didn’t have a care in the world or any desire to go back to college after seeing the amount of money I was making. Unfortunately, being young and not smart with my money, I blew it all on stupid stuff and lived in the moment I didn’t save any money or even think about my future. After three years of having my own online marketing company and working with Michael, we decided to merge our companies into a larger company, but that was a mistake. Michael had plenty of money but he turned to drugs and started to become violent towards me. Before I knew it, I had been with him for five years, through the good and the bad. Unfortunately, it became apparent that he wasn’t going to change when he became so physically and mentally abusive I had to leave...

...wrong. Ex. Not trying out for a sport team because you’re afraid of not making the team. Lack of appetite for chaos- problem solvers must learn to live with confusion. The best solution may seem contradictory. Ex. When solving math problems using equations, you just have to accept it. Judging rather than generating ideas- problems can stem from approaching problem with negative attitudes. Ex. When trying to learn how to do geometry you have a hard time because you keep telling yourself “it’s too hard” and “I can’t do it”. Lack of challenge- sometimes problem solvers don’t want to get started because they perceive the problem as being too trivial and easily solved. Ex. Someone who thinks they know everything may not start on homework until last minute because they think it’s so easy they’ll get it done in no time. Inability to incubate- rushing to solve a problem just to get it off your mind can create blocks. Ex.

...My personal responsibility essay Corey Leverette GEN-200 september. 30, 2012 Personal responsibility essay Even though I have been responsible in the past, how to be a more responsible person because I haven't been responsible in the past and I need to do better about being responsible. As a student I am responsible for my own educational future. I always fail to do certain things like staying positive. Staying positive and keeping a positive attitude is essential in order to everyone to accomplish their goals . All students will have to have a positive attitude when it comes down to constructive criticism. For example (he or she is not pulling their weight in the group).Some people live up to what goals and expectations they set and others choose to go another path. However not everyone is perfect. The driver of this degree plan is me I am the person behind the wheel that is accountable for making mistakes. The first way to achieve my academic success is to maintain my attendance. Attendance is something that a student must take seriously to be academically successful. There are ways that as a student I can be successful in maintaining a good attendance. First step is to take the time out to review the schools attendance policies and guidelines; this can help remind me of my responsibility. According to Green’s article “Every teacher is looking for students who are serious about the subject at hand, who work hard in the classroom and who show progress...
