History of tort law
Tort law originated a century ago when Oliver Wendell Junior examined the history of negligence in the legal system, which later resulted in the theory of tort. He concluded in his study that the duty to exercise care in England was faulty. He noted that most plaintiffs suffered overwhelmingly when another party or entity caused a significant level of damage to them. Similarly, Morton J. Horwitz reexamines the history of negligence and found out that many jurisdictions did not understand negligence as carelessness or fault (Kaczorowski). Since its discovery, many nations such as the USA, ...

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits dangerous to the health of not only smokers but also others. Currently, smoking has become a massive "epidemic" common among men, women and even children. The fact that smoking is harmful to health know everyone, but not all realize the true extent of its impact.
Damage to health damage is delayed in time and not immediate, but gradual, usually after 10-20 years after the onset of smoking. Therefore, many smokers at first do not notice changes in their health status and believe that nothing will happen to them in the future, ...

Introduction:

In addition to the physiological factors, there are a number of psychological factors that play a major role on musculoskeletal pain that can lead to disability. After the patient has healed from the physiological factors that led to the experience of pain, there are still fear avoidance beliefs that can take the form of chronic pain in the mind, so that the patient resists increases in physical activity levels. Ironically, the decision to reduce physical activity levels in response to this combination of physical pain and psychological fears keeps the back pain chronic, as the patient never overcomes the ...

Introduction

When looked at from a life cycle perspective, international shipping is an activity that causes enormous damage to the environment. Furthermore, international shipping is widely accepted since it’s the cheapest mode of transport, large manufacturers greatly depend on these shipping lines. Consequently, the wide use of shipping lines globally leads to massive environmental pollution not only during their operation time but also including the times these vessels are being made (Therivel, 2004). During their manufacture, large quantities of raw materials are being extracted from the environment; moreover, the processes involved also pollute the environment (Schryver, 2010).

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion.
In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

The US Subprime mortgage crisis was a banking and financial emergency situation that led to a recession not only in the US but spread to many parts of the world. The disastrous effects of a crisis in the domestic subprime market on the rest of the world beg questions about the interconnectability and interdependence of the international economy as well as the financial institutions. The international financial crisis also revealed how vulnerable the global financial system was. Not only did the subprime crisis have a direct effect on global markets and countries that held a huge number of US mortgage backed securities and were ...

Issue

The current law sets the driving age at sixteen years. The assumption is that at attaining the age of sixteen, persons have the mental capacity to undertake driving. It is assumed that the same persons would conduct themselves diligently and observe the traffic rules.

Rationale

However, this assumption is being challenged given the statistics and cases that occur in the roads on a day to day basis. There are reasons to believe that the age limit should be raised from the statutory sixteen years to eighteen years. It is believed that the two year difference would at least account for a difference ...

The agricultural sector of Florida, right now, is not looking good. After much spending on the recent citrus greening, and budget cuts due to water usage, the farming industry was forced to take extreme measures (Jordan 199). The cost of crop and natural resources has soared in the recent months. This has caused a bump in the market, where consumers are not purchasing as much local commodities because of the prices. The recent problems in terms of agriculture are on the rise, while the House matches citrus greening while still on the topic of the expenditures. A great solution for ...

Introduction

No matter how hard we try to believe that we are living in a developed country and we are literate and modern people, studies show that we still are not free from the shackles of domestic violence. According to a survey conducted by US National Institute of Mental Health, 42.8% of women were victims of domestic violence yet they still were in that abusive relationship (Nauert, 2010). Abusive relationships take the form of physical, emotional, psychological and verbal abuse which might leave the victim dwell in the darkness of reality. With bruised marks and a scared image, the victim tends to lead a ...

Introduction

A person’s alcohol concentration in the body can easily be known. This is achieved by the determination of the blood alcohol concentration taken in by such a person. This involves the measurement of alcohol concentration in grams of alcohol per 100 millimeters of blood. When the women and men are exposed to the same quantities of alcohol at the same time then the concentration of the alcohol in women will be higher. However, even people of the same sex have different concentration of alcohol when tasted despite their drinking levels. A drug therefore is any substance that alters the ...

Background Checks and Gun Control

The recent spate of incidents related to guns has rekindled the debate over gun control and measures to ensure safety and security of the citizens. With the Newton, Sandy Hook, and the Boston Bombing still in public memory, there are many congresspersons and senators calling for extensive background checks on those desiring to purchase weaponry. The term weaponry has been used instead of guns alone as the buying behavior of many gun owners reveals that they do not purchase guns in isolation or handguns or small firearms but instead, accumulate large weapons that can proved detrimental to public safety. ...
