The bank distorted the purchaser's monetary position, when unmistakably it knew about the genuine money related position of the purchaser. The con was conveyed, however the purchaser did not pay the price tag and the woolgrowers endured loss and damage. The offended party had probably been induced to act to his detriment in dependence on the distortion. A representee's knowledge upon the falsity won't really defeat the claim due that it is of no defense that the offended party could check the precision of the representation yet had neglected to do as such. The tort liability of a man who submits fraud is unique in relation to that of a man who confers misrepresentation. A man who confers fraud might be liable for damages, perhaps including correctional damages, for the tort of double dealing. In a few states, a man harmed by fraud can't rescind and sue for damages for misdirection; he should choose or pick between the

In the movie A Beautiful Mind, the description of schizophrenia is shown in many accurate ways. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) states that the symptoms of this disease are delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, or unorganized or catatonic behavior. People with schizophrenia are also socially withdrawn and awkward when in contact with other people. These traits of the sickness are shown in detail throughout the movie by way of the character John Nash’s struggle with the disease. Nash is a very intelligent professor but believes he is working with the government to foil a Soviet attack plot. Nash eventually goes onto win a Nobel Prize for one of his theories. The movie shows the effects of schizophrenia on not only one man, but also on the friends and family of the ill individual. Treatment is discussed but not to any great length due to him ignoring the doctor’s orders on medication. Overall the movie shows some very prevalent traits of the disease in great detail during certain parts of the film.
When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join. These characteristics wouldn't just be valuable for a candidate to have, but for everyone to have to exceed in life. If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.
Spirituals: African American spirituals are a key contribution to the creation of the initial genre of jazz. African Americans used spirituals during the earliest turmoil of slavery. These spirituals were used as songs to sing during labor and an initial way of communication for the Underground Railroad. These African American folk sounds mixed with gospel hymns were sun fused with instruments such as the harmonicas, banjos, and other instruments that could primarily be found. This initial form of the music started to separate itself from the gospel rendition. This mixture of different styles of music fused and gave birth to such things as minstrel shows, ragtime, and other forms of music. The most important that spirituals truly helped develop, was Jazz. Spirituals were the first true form of Negro expression in the form of music. Marshall W. Steams, Professor of English Literature at Hunter College states that “The spiritual was created out of nowhere by a sort of spontaneous combustion of Negro’s genius” (125). This mixture of hymns and instrumental instruction took form into one of the most versatile genres known to date, Jazz.
While I was reading the novel Beloved, I noticed several testimonies throughout the book, one of them being equality. The novel tells a tragic story about slavery and it is often pointed out that the color of one’s skin determines how he or she will be treated throughout life. The slaves in the book are in constant battle to survive among the white men; however, survival is not always the best things for the slaves.
Our current society is not capable of turning into one similar to Gilead. Gilead is an unstable time period, for what was known to be the United States of America. There are several reasons why our society today cannot be one like Gilead. The people of Gilead do many acts that violate the Bill of Rights, which our society respects highly. The United States Constitution is also violated in the novel, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.
When Canada created the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they set it as “supreme law”, meaning that all other laws must follow and abide by the charter. This means that police also need to uphold the Charter. For example, Sections 8-10 and 24 especially have an impact on police. Section 8 says, “Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure” (2018). Police officers perform searches all the time, whether it be after an arrest, enforcing a search warrant, pat downs for officer safety, etc. Police officers need to abide by this law, otherwise any evidence they might have seized can be thrown out of court, or the subject being arrested could be released! The same applies to section 9, where it says that every person in this country cannot be “arbitrarily
The plaintiff firm of surveyors bought a second-hand Rolls Royce from the defendants which developed serious defects after 2,000. It was held that the firm was acting as a consumer and that to buy in the course of a business 'the buying of cars must form at the very least an integral part of the buyer's business or a necessary incidental thereto'. It was emphasised that only in those circumstances could the buyer be said to be on equal footing with his seller in terms of bargaining strength.
Of all the topics as discussed in the class, the topic Misrepresentation has greatly drawn my interest and I got eager to find the appropriate meaning of Misrepresentation by analysing the facts of Misrepresentation under its clause 1, different in accordance to the Indian Contact Act (1872). The term Misrepresentation is defined in Section 18 of the Act is somewhat different from ‘Misrepresentation’ are understood in ordinary parlance. In this response paper, I seek to explore the specific manner in which the Contract Act defines that the Positive Assertion of facts leads to Misrepresentation and how such a definition fits in with the general scheme of the Contract Act, with the hope of responding to some of the difficulties the definition of Misrepresentation raises for contract law.
The Threats Of Passing The Article 9 On September 1, 1939, the greatest tragedy in human history started. The Empire of Japan, Germany and Italy started World War II to covetously try to dominate the whole world only just because of their selfish desires. Especially the Empire of Japan, invading China was not able to fill out its enormous hideous “stomach,” so they spread the fear of death to South East Asia which made the whole Pacific become a huge battlefield. The countless horrible things the Empire of Japan did was only for one goal, POWER. However, evil can never prevail over good.
According to subsection 2a, section 78A of the Environment Act 1995 contaminated land is defined as any land where: “Significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused” All findings collected during site investigation constitute sufficient evidence that the abundant factory site can be designated as contaminated land. The site appears to be in such a condition that there is a high risk of serious harm to be caused as a result of pollution to soils and waters. Immediate remediation procedures are required in order to prevent the spread of pollution to the nearby housing area, which might cause significant harm to its occupants. In order to identify the appropriate person/s who should bear the
