Respondeat superior can be explained as the doctrine that affirms the responsibility of an employer over the employee. In particular, the doctrine states that a master is liable for torts committed by the servants in the course of their service (Pozgar, 2012). Pozgar (2012) elaborates that; respondeat superior dose not purge random negligence doctrine and neither is it exculpatory. As such, the employer remains predisposed to any negligence of its own that can be easily proved without respondeat superior doctrine being involved i.e. negligence in supervision or hiring. Correspondingly, the employee remains liable to the victim of the tort to ...

Biblical philosophy tries to comprehend the dynamic unfolding of God's unique disclosure all through history while efficient philosophy looks to present the whole scriptural instructing on certain particular truths, or teachings, each one in turn. Systematic theology is attached to exposition. It facilitates and orchestrates the entire witness of Scripture on the different points with which it bargains. The author’s observation, in biblical theology, is in line with existing theological literature because he points out that the Bible founded religious philosophy was, in this manner, chronicled and ordered in its plan. In point of fact, the equivalent word ...

Comparing the 2008 Us Crisis with the Japan’s “Lost Decade”

Both the Japan’s lost decade and the 2008 United States and the world financial crisis were caused by excess savings and inflation of huge asset bubbles. By 1980s many Japanese resorted to a lot of savings on their income as they expected to retire.

Furthermore, much savings simply meant that the Japanese citizen had foregone consumption. However, this problem was disguised in the Japanese poor finance policy as well as financial technology. Inflation therefore arose from poor regulation of the ...

What few works for children have survived are books about “manners and instruction.” Other than those, Egoff assumes children that could read had to make do with books such as romances ...

Who’s Afraid of the Old Testament God?

Introduction:
In this excellent book, Thompson takes the old myth on the Old Testament God to task explaining the fact that life is not to be taken for granted in any way.
