Bond and Lien Claims

Pros of lien claims vs. bond claims
A lien claim is formulated by the law of state in order to secure compensation for materials, services or labor used to build or to improve a real property. The main reason behind this law is the reluctance associated with the property owners, to compensate for construction in advance. Also, the fact that it is impossible to return the work done in case of failure for compensation, made the law be enacted. The law supports construction and development via giving a means, through which employees, as well as other contractors conducting work ...

Introduction

Autonomy, defined as “self-directing freedom and especially moral independence” (Merriam-Webster, 2013), is a concept that encompasses human rationality. It is a notion that has strong linkages to the idea of freedom, although those definitions have different concepts based on various perspectives. Notwithstanding the variations, autonomy is a feature that characterizes the freethinking nature of humans. With freethinking comes openness to accept any possibilities that could emerge as consequences to particular actions thought autonomously. ...

In the Crito, an astonishingly solid claim has been made by Socrates about the authority of the state, in terms of the principles of right and wrong behavior. However, his claim does not seem consistent not only with another underlying claim that has been made in the Crito, but also with particular claims that have been made by him in the Apology. The purpose of this short essay is to argue that it is actually possible to interpret the claims that Socrates makes about the state’s authority in a way that inconsistencies with other claims are removed.

Introduction

The debate on abortion remains one of the most contentious, irrational and divisive debates of our times on political, legal, ethical and religious platforms (Garlikov). The debate is hinged on the differences between pro-choice (those who support abortion) and pro-life (those against abortion) forces. According Garlikov, the resolution on the abortion issue remains far from sight because the media focuses on the extreme differences rather than on the common grounds. Quite often the proponents and the opponents of abortion have presented inaccurate claims making the debate more irrational. ...

The significant purpose of any given government is to support its state and people through dissimilar measures including economic, political and military. However, this is the major reasons why during times of war or other threats to the country, the government takes the authority of applying extra ordinary measurers such as restricting freedom and freezing assets among others. Concurrently, I think that such measures are only relevant when there is a state of emergency in the country so that the government can safeguard its citizen but not throughout. Therefore, the government should note that such measures should only be ...

A Rhetorical Analysis

In order to have a solid ground for rhetorical analysis, this paper has chosen a particular angle of collective memory as the artifact to be studied.

Abstract

All parties involved in worker’s compensation have the desire to eliminate fraud. A recent research shows that, fraudulent compensation of workers cost over $5 Billion annually.

Inference concerns a logical conclusion based on evidence. One arrives at inference after consideration of the face value of the evidence. This clearly indicates that inference is not the result of systematic analysis nor is it the result of testing of evidence. Therefore, in order to note an inference one should achieve a conclusion based on evidence obtained concerning the aspect under concern.

Abstract

In the presented quote from a journal article “Violence, crisis, and the everyday” (2013) by Das, the author is guilty of stereotyping as an informal fallacy. The author groundlessly suggests that the ideas of masculinity are correlated with young men changing provisional jobs instead of having a regular one. This stereotyping, especially given in the context of the problem of rape by boys and men living in very poor districts, can have dramatic impact on the perception of masculinity, its dependence on the job status and its effect on men getting involved in rape.
