Thus , it shouldn't be limited a scope of criteria. The criteria shown is only to describe the possibilities of the decisions and distinguishing the doctrine from others , but shouldn't be a consistent set of rules that defines what it exactly it should be in every case and how it should be applied in every case. operates to release parties from contracts that they have entered into as a result of being 'influenced' by the other party. - 754 - Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead : ' If the intention was produced by an unacceptable means , the law will permit the transaction to stand. The means used is regarded as exercise of improper or 'undue' influence, and hence unacceptable whenever the consent thus procured ought not fairly to be treated as the expression of a person's free will. It is impossible to be more precise or definitive. The circumstances in which one person acquires influence over another , and the manner in which influence may be exercised , vary too widely to permit of any more specific criterion' - 770 ' Even this test is not comprehensive. The principle is not confined to cases of abuse of trust and confidence. It also includes, for instance, cases where a vulnerable person has been exploited. Indeed, there is no single touchstone for determining whether the principle is applicable...

...many other generations of leaders to come. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow students for entrusting me to your care. I thank the teachers for the utmost support and guidance for the past year. Surely, the successes of the student council government are not only to the merit of the members, but also to all of you. I understand that a year of leadership could never be enough to address every student’s concern. As I turnover this Key of Responsibility, I also am turning over the many student issues and concerns that I have failed to address before. Receive this key and do not deem this as a burden or a cross to carry, for leadership is a privilege of the few. But remember, that it is a privilege that will cause you hardships; it is not for the faint of heart. Contrary to what you may see, the real key of responsibility is intangible. It is not a mere prop to accessorize this program. Therefore, to the next leaders and members of the Student Council Government 2016-2017, take this key of responsibility with utmost commitment and dedication to serve. To all of my fellow students, I believe that you, as well, are receiving a key of responsibility – a responsibility to cooperate, and work with the council in directing and fulfilling its goals. There is a reason why a mass of students is called a student body; and that’s because we all are entrusted with duties...

...that he is the damned and is no longer of the men and the brothers of the society He knows the council is beneath him and has no reason to say what he is and who he is. Another reason is Equality is smarter than them and no longer needs them to dictate his life. He also has no longer a need to be apart of the Council and their society to further himself. There is no need for Equality to even think about caring that he is the damned. The Council has stated that he is no longer a part of the men and brothers of their society. The Council has undoubtedly foolishly damned him for going behind their backs and going beyond their progress by studying on his own making leaps and bounds ahead of their progress. He went so much farther that he has probably gone beyond anything they could even think of accomplishing in hundreds of years, because they love to foolishly put the smartest people they have in their society in the wrong positions, so that they may never come anywhere close to their full potential. “This God , this one word :”I”. In Equality’s eyes he sees himself as a god. In the society of Anthem, to call yourself “I” is to be the same as calling yourself God. You would be putting yourself above all others, which is how you would be addressing your God (or lack thereof) in your religion or culture. So in the end of it all Equality laughs because he knows that the Council is below him. He knows that he is and always will be a modern day God. Equality knows he is better...

...the company from a decentralized firm that only focused its three work silos of Marketing, Engineering and Sales to segregated and specific customer groups to a centralized firm that focused on collaboration and relevant technologies for given customer groups. This shift in organizational restructuring significantly reduced product and resource redundancies – a major contributing success factor for Cisco’s market position today. The Problem The implementation of the cross-functional business councils greatly strengthened both Cisco’s competitive position as well as their organizational culture. However, Cisco now faces the problem of how to sustain and implement the new internal governance system across new and expanding business lines within the company in addition to maintaining the new collaborative culture while retaining its customer-centricity focus. Adjustments will need to be made to ensure that systems can be scaled to address new market transitions. The three councils that were originally created to foster open and transparent communication have developed but a plan for their future evolution relative to the company’s planned expansion needs to be outlined to ensure that the enterprise teams remain unified and functional. Purpose of Change “While emerging markets and acquisitions were key in helping Cisco survive the [economic] downturn, the company’s 2001 organizational...

You see, the Council was either taught to enforce leading a simple life for your brothers and not yourself, or they began this system because it makes the people easier to control. If everyone thinks, looks, and acts the same you don’t have to worry about diversity. Without diversity, there is no adversity. And a group without adversity is easy to control. People like Equality 7-2521 brought this dreaded adversity into the City because of his curiosity and his stirring desire to be regarded as an individual. The Council had a name for this adversity, they called it a sin. Anything that portrayed individualism or seemed atypical was called a...
