The act can be either negligent, assault, battery, trespass, liability of harmful products or emotional injury.

Introduction

With respect to law of torts, any action carried out intentionally and that results in causing either physical or emotional injury to another person qualifies as an intentional tort. On the other hand, negligence tort entails causing harm or injury to a third party as a result of personal carelessness.

In this context, the need to conduct one’s affairs in a safe manner constitutes the element of duty. Failure to act safely and within expected ...

Psoriasis is considered as the most prevalent autoimmune disorder, particularly the psoriasis vulgaris type (Krueger and Bowcock, 2005).

In the post cold war era, there was widespread hope for the end of armed conflict. However, such hopes were belied. Instead of long-drawn standoffs between the major powers of the world, the nature of conflict became more variegated and localized. Added to the larger number of smaller scale conflicts was the new phenomenon of a ‘clash between civilizations.’ Islamic movements challenged the supremacy of the United States, which had emerged as the sole superpower on the global stage. The new realities have forced the United States to continue to deploy military ...

As Scott Weber points out in his journal article on the relationship between depression and, among other factors, self-esteem, “adolescents today are living in complex and challenging times” (Weber, 2010). With depression and other psychiatric disorders common among youth, it is adults who they rely on to build a health care and education system that understands this and provides antiquate support for adolescents. Self-esteem has a negative correlation with depression (Weber, 2010) and so environments and strategies to improve self-esteem in adolescents have the effect of also reducing the frequency and severity of depression in these populations. It has also been ...

The Court ruled that the decision- reward tickets did not constitute assessable income under either: Section 25(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 and cannot be convertible into money. Thus, the monetary value of the ticket cannot not be considered as income within the definition of Section 25(1); or Section 26(e) since the reward ticket was a result of a personal contractual privilege of Payne, it cannot be included as benefit that is “allowed, given or ...

Some people cannot just imagine that if there is only one true God, why is it that they are divided as to what they believe in. Is not that all individuals came only from one source - God? Contrariwise, there are people who will not agree to the former statements because they believe that there are many gods; yes, lots of them. They will not accept it that we all came only from one source. There are people on earth that even believe that there ...

In a qualitative study, Bryon, Gastmans & de Casterle (2012) explored the experiences of nurses with nurse-physician communication that occurred during decision-making for artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) among hospitalised dementia patients.

Successful advocacy for the dying patient and his family, a nurse’s ethical responsibility, depends on the quality of interdisciplinary communication. From data analysis which used a grounded theory framework emerged three factors influencing the nurse-physician communication: the attitudes of physicians toward nurses, the attitude of nurses toward ...

In contemporary times, it could be interesting to observe the behavior of people in different scenarios and settings. Some situations are generally common and people could immediately anticipate or make an educational guess at people’s reactions, responses, or expected behaviors. In a common scenario as waiting in line, for example, spectators could simply indicate that overall, people who are waiting in line would be manifesting irritation, anxiety, disappointment and even exasperation for being subjected in the situation. A popular byline in one of FedEx advertisements states that “waiting is frustrating, demoralizing, agonizing, aggravating, annoying, time consuming and incredibly expensive” ( ...

Abstract

This paper considers the various likely causes of violence and violent behavior within prisons. The causes discussed include overcrowding, boredom, drugs, the gang culture within the prison population, and sexually-originated violence. In addition, the paper discusses two theories that suggest: 1. that the violence can stem simply from the inmate’s psychological reaction to being transported into the restrictive prison environment (the deprivation theory); and: 2. that individual prisoners bring their existing violent nature and characters in with them from their former existence in the community (the importation theory). In addition to discussing the causes of the violence, the ...

An entrepreneur identifies a business idea and takes the risk to provide capital to fund a business venture. He also controls and monitors all business activities. He may be a sole proprietor, partner or just the owner of majority shares in an incorporated business. Renowned economist Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1885-1950) regards entrepreneurs as people who are not necessarily profit motivated, but rather those who see it as a success and achievement measuring standard. He also discovered that these people value self-reliance and are great optimists striving for distinction by excelling in their various fields. A classic example of an entrepreneurial legend is ...

For a statement to be actionable and considered to be defamation, it has to be published, false, and derogatory and must refer to a specific person. If it refers to a group of people, it is not defamation. A defaming statement cannot be complimentary even if not true. It must also have the effect of disadvantaging the individual, in that it has to be told to a third party possibly the media causing other people to avoid the plaintiff. Slander ...

International Security

Debatably, the most potent lesson that all nations learnt from the first and second world wars, is the fact that sustaining war is one of the most expensive forms of public spending. War can drain the economic strength of a country to an extent that a country can shift from a first class economy to a middle income economy. Historians have always had to look at war as a detrimental social phenomenon that has negative impacts on the economic development of the state h, as well as the country building process. Contrary to this assumption, war has positive aspects as well. In the contexts ...

In Orhan Pamuk's Nobel lecture "My Father's Suitcase," he described the trepidation that he felt upon deciding to open a suitcase left by his now-late father - he knew that there would be literature in there that his father wrote, and he did not know if he wanted to find out just what his father was like, and whether he was a good writer (like his son). In this essay, the cause and effect format is used substantially to demonstrate the factors leading up to his son's trepidation at opening the suitcase.

Introduction

Negligence refers to the act of perfuming an activity that can not be done by any reasonable person or doing the reverse to cause pain to another person. This is definitely a violation of one’s right and hence a legal action should be taken for such a person (McDonald, B., 2007). As a branch of civil law called tort, a case may qualify to be regarded as negligence if an incident involves more than just careless conduct, and involves a combination of the concepts of duty and breach of a well established law. These are some of the grounds upon which a case can be based ...
