...It doesn’t matter where someone is in the world, each country controls their people using laws and punishment, but they are all different in some way. There were a total of 19 different tribes throughout the Igbo tribe. Each tribe had a different social structure in some way, but they all had the same laws and government. Every tribe had the same government structure of how things were done in the tribe. Things Fall Apart shows the power that each tribe has and how they use that power throughout the tribe. In the novel, Chinua Achebe shows how the traditional Igbo kept law, order, and punishment throughout their tribes. Things Fall Apart shows us how the Igbo have laws and where they come from. The tribes do have similar laws, but they...

...The law, nature, sources and importance This discussion is going to focus on a number of issues. Firstly, an outline is going to be given on how the law affects business in a country. From there the importance of business law is going to be deliberated, followed by the nature and sources of law. Finally, a discussion is going to be made on how the law can be improved in a country. The law has many impacts on business. In this discussion the writer discusses three ways in which the law affects business. Generally the law affects business in the following ways: * Protecting the interests of the investors * Protection of the provisions of business contracts * The law regulates the business environment * The law provides guidelines in the employee- employer relations * There are laws on tax * It promotes transparency. Regulating business environment and operations The law provides guidelines and standards in which all businesses must operate. This protects the business from crumpling as much as protecting the consumers. For examples there are laws that require the business to comply with international practices. For example the companies must declare their business deals with the international partners. The government needs to find out if the partnership is in the interest of the investor. Another example of this relates to the need of all business in the country to get registered. In registering businesses certain details are required. This ensures that...

How to deal with the inner struggle of the law D. A life of sanctification INTRODUCTION: As we look at the passage in Romans 7:7-25 we see a mix of emotions and a struggle that comes within all people who choose to reject sin and choose holiness. In this exegetical paper we will break down this passage into many parts and talk about the historical context of the passage as well as the literary context. After we explain the style of authorship we will talk about the context of the writing and how Paul was feeling when he wrote this text as well as the audience and setting of this passage. We see that Paul is talking about the Law and how it works with holiness. We see that the law is attacked in this passage and so Paul is standing firm on the fact that the Law is as relevant today as it was when it was originally written. We also see that the law is not evil and that it is...

...Kirchoff’s Laws Objective: To determine the laws of Gustav Kirchoff. How they are used to analyze an electronic circuit. To illustrate how the laws work. Introduction: In 1845, German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff first described two laws that became central to electrical engineering. The laws were generalized from the work of Georg Ohm. The laws can also be derived from Maxwell’s equations, but were developed prior to Maxwell’s work. The following descriptions of Kirchhoff's Laws assume a constant current. For time-varying current, or alternating current, the laws must be applied in a more precise method. Body: Kirchhoff's Current Law Kirchhoff's Current Law, also known as Kirchhoff's Junction Law and Kirchhoff's First Law, defines the way that electrical current is distributed when it crosses through a junction - a point where three or more conductors meet. Specifically, the law states that: The algebraic sum of current into any junction is zero. Since current is the flow of electrons through a conductor, it cannot build up at a junction, meaning that current is conserved: what comes in must come out. When performing calculations, current flowing into and out of the junction typically have opposite signs. This allows Kirchhoff's Current Law to be restated as: The sum of current into a junction equals the sum of current out of the junction. * the 1 st law or the junction rule: for a given junction or node in a circuit, the sum of the currents...

These agencies of the law enforcement profession covers more than eighty percent of the population of this nation.(DOJ/FBI, 2004) This said information that is produced by contributors of the Uniform Crime Reporting System is forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation directly through programs of UCR that is either state or local level of more than forty states and also D.C. State and local law enforcement agencies that directly submit to the FBI are given guidance on a continuous basis not to mention support individually. (DOJ/FBI, 2004) UCR programs that are on the level of state are links that have proven to be effective between contributors that are considered to be local and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well. A vast amount of these UCR programs have requirements of reporting that are said to be commanded by authority and gather data that goes well to the further side of the scope that when it comes to crime problems that need to be addressed, problems that are relevant to their jurisdictions.(Spencer, 2012) In a various amount of situations, these law...

...a) Explain how a follower of Natural Law theory might approach the issue surrounding abortion. The Natural Law Theory has developed over time since the era of the ancient Greeks, and it is not necessarily based on one single theory. Natural law is the belief that God has created the universe to work in certain ways. The structure of Natural Law is not accidental; it is deliberate and has important implications to the human race (this can also be used to argue the existence of God in the teleological argument). Humans have a duty to conform to Natural Law. If they do not conform it is morally bad. St Thomas Aquinas linked his idea of Natural Law with Aristotle’s view that people have a specific nature, purpose and function. Aristotle said that not only does everything have a purpose, but also it achieves supreme good when it fulfill its purpose. Aristotle stated that the supreme good for humans is to achieve happiness, which can be related to mill’s utilitarianism where our aim is to gain happiness by avoiding pain and gaining pleasure, but Aristotle did not follow the consequentialist nature of utilitarianism. Aristotle said we were to achieve the final goal by living a life of reason based on what we experience, and this follows the deontological nature of Kantian ethics. Aquinas said that humans beings have an essential rational nature given by God in order for us to live and flourish, even without God reason can discover laws that lead to human flourishing, this is...

...pass by, at least where the author of the article “Living with strangers’’ is from. Her name is Siri Hustvedt and she wrote the essay in 2002 which was published in The New York Times. She moved from the country in Minnesota to New York City where addressing strangers on the street is considered very odd. Siri Hustvedt’s essay is inspired by this difference between the norms and ways of doing things. The title “Living with strangers” is a bit of a paradox, because living with someone would normally make them everything else than strangers. In Siri Hustvedts life that isn’t the case. She moves to New York City where there live a whole lot of people. In New York City you are surrounded by more and more people, nonetheless you get more and more isolated in your own little world. This isolation and exclusion from the world outside is what Siri Husvedt’s essay is based on. From her apartment she could hear and watch things which should have been kept private such as a couple arguing and men only wearing underwear. They could almost have been roommates or something but they were just fellow New Yorkers who had unintentionally shared private moments. She is living with strangers. “Pretend it isn’t happening”(p.1.l.20) is a law which every citizen of New York City live by. It is a law that says if something happens just pretend it didn’t. Siri Hustvedt comes with several examples where this is proved to be true. Not only is “Pretend it isn’t happening” considered a law but also a way of...

...February 22, 2015 William Bross Administrative Ethics When it comes to administrative ethics in the health care field, this is where ethics issues are being dealt with on a constant basis. The hard part is of keeping the ethical line between what is right and legal is not an easy thing to figure out. In this article, it talks about patients' confidentiality, and in this article it is about critical care providers are often privy to confidential information in the course of the clinic. The dilemma can arise when confidential information is requested by family members or friends of the patient. The Critical care nurses must be aware of the regulations regarding confidentiality, as well as situations where the use and disclosure of protected health information are permitted. (Critical Care Nurse.2012;32[5]:61-65) This is where the critical care nurses must take the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws on how important they are in the health care field, and to make sure that use the line between what is right with the confidentiality for their patients. When it comes to the health care field there are privacy and confidentiality that needs to be enforced to the areas where it comes patient privacy and confidentiality. However, in this paper the legal and ethical issues that arise from both sides, when each party is bound by separate laws, as well as what happens when these laws overlap the issues and impact to the facility and the patient let alone...

...Law Opinion Paper Before a law can be made a situation would come up that would cause a public outcry for the need of change. The people of a state or states would call their Representatives or their senators ask for a written bill is presented for the making of a law. Public action has been known to do more towards government creating law in the United Sates. The evolution of a law from conception to birth, before a law is a law it is a bill or resolution to be introduced either independently, jointly, or concurrently in the House of Representative and/or the Senate. (http://www.vic.edu.com 2008) Once a bill has been properly introduced, it will go to the right committee for study and examination till it has been in most cases rewritten to be sent back to the House and Senate for discussion, and sent back the committee for more study. This same committee can let a bill die by taking no action. (2008) Once the bill has been studied and sent again to the House and Senate they both must agree on the writing of the bill, if that happens then the bill goes to the president to sign or veto the bill or resolution. If he signs it the bill then transforms into a law. But if the president veto or overrides it, the process begins again. When looking at the process of the creation of a law nothing happens real quick, everything takes time to check to see if the bill that is before them is constitutionally sound, the bill must fit into the constitution not contradict...

...A critical examination of the success of implementing operations management theories within the local government Operation management theories can be used as templates over almost any industry, the usage of which can affect the outcome of almost any situation, which arises within the organization. The theories can cover anything from the large operations a business is responsible for including transport to the smallest factors, which can include production methods. My topic for discussion today will be the inclusion of the theories within the local government sector and how successful the plans have been. Firstly, layout and flow becomes an important aspect of almost any business. This helps the organization not only provide the best service to the customer and enabling all the resources needed are to hand but also ensures the customer can travel within the business smoothly and free of queuing. The governments major operation to provide the best layout comes from within the hospitals where layout management can quite literally mean life or death. Poor management of the layout of government buildings such as hospitals need to be laid out so that not only are facilities closely available to the patients that need them but also the doctors who need to be able to navigate throughout the hospital without hindrance. A company sourced by the government who specialize in medical architecture back up the importance for proper planning and try to ensure that their plans cater for...

...Restructure Society So That All Citizens Follow the Moral Law A society is an organized group of persons living in a particular region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations (google.com). In other words, the community we live in and the people we interact with are all part of our society. Like professor Robinson said, the first society we are in, is our family. A family can be composed of a mother, father, brothers and sisters. It can also be a single mother and her children or a single father and his children. There are many ways to describe what a family is. In other words, it is the first people who surround you when you are first born and as you grow up. It is at this point where a child begins to learn ethical behavior and moral value. What is Ethics? The dictionary definition for ethics is “a theory or system dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions” (Dictionary.com). Our laws, rules, procedures, and policies are founded on ethics. Therefore, it is important that families have good ethics; after all they will be passing it down to the next generation. Family has a very important role in restructuring society so that all citizens follow the moral law; it is with the family where it starts in order to change society. It is here where a child learns to get along with others and develop moral...

...legal doctrines and rules developed to enlarge, supplement, or override a narrow rigid system of law’ (Marriam-Webster.com). Also maxims is defined also by Webster’s Dictionary as ‘a general truth, fundamental principle, or rule of conduct’ (Marriam-Webster.com). Therefore the maxims of equity may fairly be described as a set of general principles which are said to govern the way in which equity operates. They tend to illustrate the qualities of equity, in contrast to the common law, as more flexible, responsive to the needs of the individual and more inclined to take account of the parties’ conduct and worthiness. In conducting this research, it cannot be said that there is a definitive list of the maxims: different sources give different examples and some works prefer to avoid the term altogether in favour of a broader discussion of the character of equity. Above all, the maxims are applied only when the court feels it appropriate: none of the maxims is in the nature of a binding rule and for each maxim it is possible to find as many instances of its not having been applied as instances where it has been. I will give such instance, such as the role of the maxims was discussed in the case of Tinsley v Milligan [1993] 3 All ER 65, (which I will not go in detail). In the Court of Appeal a flexible approach was taken to the application of the maxim, ‘he who comes to equity must come with clean hands’, but in the House of Lords, this was rejected. Such a flexible approach, depending...

...What is Common Law Common Law is the system of laws originated and developed in England and based on court decisions, on the doctrines implicit in those decisions, and on customs and usages rather than on codified written laws. Common law is the body of law based on judicial decisions and custom, as distinct from statute law, and the law of a state that is of general application, as distinct from regional customs. What are the sources of American Law? American Law is actually a body of many laws emanating from many sources. Sources of law include: Common Law, Case Law, Statutory Law, Administrative Law, Court Rules and Constitutional Law. American law comes from a variety of sources: the Constitution, state constitutions, federal and state statutes, and case law. Understanding this is important because litigants must identify the source of law in their complaint to bring suit in federal court. Equitable remedies refer to specific types of remedies available in court cases that can only be granted by a judge. A judge will grant, or not grant, a given equitable remedy based on the circumstances of a particular case. The term equitable remedy comes from the old English court system where there were two courts: courts of chancery and courts of law. Under this system, people would go to courts of chancery if the law didn't really provide them with relief but they still believed they had been wronged. Equitable remedies were and still are about what is fair and right. ...
