This was practice in child custody was known as “the legal doctrine of Pater familias” (Costanzo & Kraus, 2012). However by the 1800’s thoughts on child custody had changed to what is known as “best interest of the child standard” or BICS (Costanzo & Kraus, 2012). BICS is pretty self-explanatory; its meaning is

Lo-Tsen, a Manchu princess who arrived at Shangri-La at the tender age of 18 in 1884, looks like she has not aged a year. However, it is only the mystic properties of Shangri-La and its tradition of moderation that keep her young; when she leaves Shangri-La, she ages rapidly: “About that Chinese woman,... was she young?...

an estoppel is a legal doctrine which prevents a person from negating or claiming a fact due to that person’s prior conduct. The doctrine of estoppel has been applied for years and different forms of estoppel have been established. For the purpose of this essay, I will predominantly concentrate on promissory estoppel in relation to the law of contracts. This essay will be approached by discussing the issues of pre-contractual liability, consideration, reliance and the doctrine as a cause of action

In addition, there was what was called the Tender Years Doctrine. This legal doctrine which has been part of the family law-common law since the late nineteenth century pertains to children age of four and younger are better off with their mothers.

language that rivals the best literature, Zenos’ allegory of the olive tree powerfully conveys the history of the house of Israel over a time span of thousands of years using symbolism that no man could have written. In addition to containing the historical value of the scattering and the gathering of Israel, the allegory also includes doctrine on the apostasy and the millennium. The allegory of the olive tree forms the centerpiece of a farewell speech given by Jacob to the Nephites late in his life.
della Mirandola had on Reuchlin and the manifestation of a truly earnest mind in the circle of brilliant half Christian scholars of the Florentine renaissance sets him aside as one of the most interesting philosophers (Craven, 1981). Remarkably, three years before his death, he gave up his share of ancestral principality and all he had after completing some of his literary plans to wander through the world teaching about Christ barefoot. Giovanni Pico della Mirandola died in Florence on the 17th of November

inexorable and inherent in the human condition, the Chinese accepts it with composure. It was a common custom in China, especially in rural areas, for people to have a coffin ready in their houses as a preparation for death that may come ten or twenty years in the future. Well-to-do people used to build their own tombs long before they felt they were approaching death. This composure should not be construed as absence of sadness and regret. The Chinese believe that, in spite of its seamy side, life is
hardships associated with war. The Elizabethan audience would’ve automatically understood the significance of a nation going to war even if there is nothing to gain economically, since that is what England has done in the past. An example being, Eighty Years’ War, which was occurring at the time this play was performed. The weaponry used in these battles and the soldier’s lives cost more than the land they are fighting for. However, the battle has to occur because the winner would receive both power and
Henry David Thoreau famously said that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” When we compare and contrast these two stories, “The Story of an Hour” and “Desiree’s Baby,” by Kate Chapin, we learn that this sentiment may be especially true for women. Kate Chapin uses “The Story of an Hour” and “Desiree’s Baby” to bravely explore the social inequalities of women in terms of marriage and divorce. The combination of these two stories point
James's Pragmatism and Plato's Sophistes ABSTRACT: In the first chapter of Pragmatism, William James outlines two philosophical temperaments. He argues that though one's temperament modifies one's way of philosophizing, its presence is seldom recognized. This statement by James led me to Plato's Sophistes, especially the relationship between temperament and being. Although Plato describes certain temperaments, I hold that the main topic is being. The ancients restricted All to real being, e
Tyger,” written in 1774, and “The Lamb,” written five years later in 1789, are considered companion poems due to their similar humanistic topic and stark differences of each other. Through the use of specific titillation and use of rhetorical questioning, Blake sets up an ultimatum between the two poems, creating the illusion that each creature in the poems may have different creators. In this way, Blake questions traditional Christian doctrine in such a way that initiates curiosity of the identity
Under the doctrine of freedom of contract, the parties are free to bargain. Based on Illustraion F of Section 26 of the Contracts Act 1950, A agrees to sell a horse worth $1000 for RM10.
