You Decide: Susie Marks vs. City of Elsewhere and Officer Ruthless
Susie Marks caught a ride to Elsewhere City Park from Orson, who then dropped her off and left. She met her friend Jerry and his girlfriend Kate. Orson was to return for Susie at 11:00 p.m., which is the park’s curfew. Around 11:00 p.m. Officer Ruthless of the Elsewhere Police Department, approached the three minors and informed them the park was closing and instructed to leave the park immediately. Unfortunately, Orson had not yet arrived for Susie Marks.
Jerry drove a small truck, which had the bed covered with a camper shell, so Jerry and Kate could leave the instant Officer Ruthless told them to leave. On the other hand, Susie informed the officer that she wished to

The plaintiff must prove that there was negligence from the defendant’s side, which resulted with the injury and they are to be blamed. Negligence is generally a question of fact for the jury, and whether a legal duty exists is something that needs to be solved within the court. In this case, what needs to be determined is whether the City of Elsewhere and/or Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks regarding to her riding in the camper of the truck, and if so, to then determine the actual cause of the injuries to Susie. The actual cause refers to what really caused the injuries.
In the case of Susie Marks vs. City of Elsewhere, I would conclude that neither the City of Elsewhere nor Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks in regards to getting in Jerry’s truck camper. Officer Ruthless’ duty was to enforce the park curfew for safety regulations, so when Officer Ruthless denied Susie the choice of walking he was acting upon his duty to enforce safety to a civilian. The officer never asked Susie to do something illegal for his own benefit, and he was well within his job duties to clear the park and send the minors home in legal terms. The actual cause of the injuries happened when Jerry lost control of the wheel and the truck rolled over. There is no physical evidence or facts, which clarifies who was at fault. What is determine and factual is the fact that the accident was not caused by Officer Ruthless or by him ordering Susie to ride in the camper.
To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

In the case of Nalwa v. Cedar Fair, the plaintiff fractured her wrist while riding in a Rue le Dodge bumper car at an amusement park in California. The plaintiff filed a case of negligence against the defendant. To prove negligence, the plaintiff will have to establish all of the following requirements: (1) duty of due care, breach of duty, causation, and injury. The defendant had the Rue le Dodge ride inspected yearly by state safety regulators and daily by the park’s maintenance staff. This means they filled their duty of maintaining the ride, breach of duty than does not apply or causation, but there was injury.

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

After the Civil War had ended, citizens and slaves of the United States expected ideal changes that would affect their way of living. Most of the beliefs people had consisted of liberty, equality and religion. During 1825 to 1850, the expected democratic ideals from the reform movements consisted of liberty for slaves and women, equality in education and punishment, and freedom in their religios beliefs.
Having proven there is a duty of care and it has been breached, the next step would be to show the breach was what caused damages. Causation has 2 main elements- legal and factual. In order to establish legal causation, one must use the “but for” test. In our case, the test would look something like, “But for Bill’s negligence, would Arthur’s accident have occurred.” This test only questions the facts of the case and is relatively straight-forward. Thus, ignoring everything else, no, Arthur would not have been in an accident if he had not been on the bridge, which Bill
She had to admit that Jerry was changing; no developing would be the better word. She was not ready for that shifting, not yet, but from the look on his face. No, she was overstressing. Emin’s song on the neighbor’s radio jammed her thoughts. She exhaled slowly and eventually walked over to lock the side door. She looked out the glass door window and stepped away, then reluctantly she looked out the stained glass window again. She thought somebody was standing in the walkway, but it was empty. She quickly checked the electronic deadbolt, and her mind turned to the day when her supervisor Mr. Deep installed the electronic lock on the side door two summers aback. A series of sudden break-ins in the neighborhood and the startling murder of Mr. Gibb and his family on the 4th of July in 2000 had forced many families to fear for their personal safety. Ironically, the murders brought her back to Ohio, and time held her captive even bordering on
She rushed to see what was happening. The night before, Paul had drank himself into oblivion. He had awakened in a very foul mood. When she walked into her mother’s bedroom, Paul was hovering over Nova on the bed, repeatedly punching her in the face and head. She quickly noticed that her mother was frantically trying to protect something in her arms. Nova was screaming “Paul! Get off me!” repeatedly. It was Joey, Kayla’s eight month old brother, with a bottle in his mouth! As Paul violently struck Nova again, Kayla sprinted across the room and yanked the baby from Nova’s arms. She ran, with Joey crying in her arms, to the telephone in the kitchen. Kayla was trembling with fear and anger as she clumsily dialed 911. As the operator answered “911. What is your emergency?” Paul stormed into the kitchen, grabbed the phone from her hand and shattered it against the wall. He then proceeded to yell at Kayla, with a fire of rage burning in his eyes, shouting “Who the hell do you think you are? Coming into my house? I provide this house, your food, and the electricity for you! But you are and ungrateful little brat! Man, I don’t need this from
Facts: Ford Motor Company appealed the judgement of the Hampton County, South Carolina Circuit Court in a product liability claim. Cheryl Hale was driving several children to her house in her Ford Bronco. The Plaintiff Jesse Branham was riding in the backseat without wearing his seatbelt. Hale admitted that she took her eyes briefly off the road, and Bronco veered towards the side of the road, where the rear right wheel left the road. When Hale attempted to correct, she overcorrected and the Bronco rolled over. In the process of the roll over, Branham was ejected from the vehicle and sustained injuries. The case against Ford was based on two product liability claims, one a defective seatbelt sleeve claim and the other, a “handling and
Since nearly the beginning of time, adultery has been thought of as morally wrong. Marriage, on the other hand, has been thought of as a sacred institution shared by most of the people and religions of the world. In the “Lais” written by Marie de France, we are given insight into the inner workings of five adulterous affairs, six pre-marital sexual encounters, and one instance of impure thoughts. Although Marie de France does not seem to condone adultery, she writes in a manner that allows the reader to feel possible sympathy with it, depending upon the situation. In fact, she seems to separate her lays into two categories. The first category consists of extenuating circumstances in which the reader is made (allowed) to feel empathy and
