CIVIL AND PUBLIC LAW


Civil and public law have differences.In civil law action is taken among citizensand in public law action is taken between the state.Diferences in categorie, too.The main categories of civil law are contacts,torts,trusts,probate and family law and the main categories of public law are crimes,constitutional law,international law.And differences between civil and public law procedures.In civil procedure sentence is an award of money or damages to be paid by one part to the other and in criminal procedure sentence is a fine or imprisonment.Furthermore, the standards of proof are lower in a civil action than in a criminal one.The prosecution must prove the guilt of a criminal beyond reasonable doubt.Evidence from a civil action is more necessarily admissible as evidence in a criminal trial about the same matters.And there are similarities of civil and public law.The loser of a civil case may be forced to comply in a criminal prosecution and the loser of a civil action has to pay a criminal penalty as well.The defendant in a criminal case will not be found liable in a civil action about the same matters.
To conclude, these two laws have a lot of differences but a lot of similarities too, and they both are located to people.

EMPLOYMENT LAW SUMMARY


Employment law is a legislation of workers rights which protects employees in their works.There are some important employee rights and one of them is compensation if a person is dismissed unfairly. The Employment Protection Act gives women the right to return to work after having a baby. People who are discriminated at work have the right to make a complaint to an industrial tribunal. European Court ruled that different ages for receiving retirement pension were legal. There is a conflict between EC and English law.It is related with Sunday trading and with the right to strike.In Britain stores can sell whiskey but not coffee;magazine but not books and etc. and all strikes in Britain can be ,if they have support by a majority vote of workers. In Japan workers don't ask paying for overtime working. But they live in big cities because their employer provide low-cost accommodation.To sum up, better work conditions are in Western countries.

Military conflicts between states may constitute war. In political terms "conflict" refers to an outgoing state of hostility between two or more groups of people. There are a lot of types and models of conflicts: intrapersonal, interpersonal, emotional, group, organization, community, international, ideological, diplomatic, economic, military, religious- based and others conflicts.Causes of conflicts: skills and abilities, personalities, perception, values and ethics, emotions, cultural differences.Conflicts may stem from a variety of causes, and understanding them is the first step in dealing with it effectively.1. there is a perceived breach of faith and trust between individual.2. unresolved disagreement that has escalated to an emotional level.3.

Thirdly, listen to the other person's ideas and feelings. And lastly, think of solute or that will satisfy both of you.And what can i say on my own? I like arguing, shoving that I have very strong and my opinion. I don't like agreeing with others.

THE PROBLEM WITH GUNS


The problem with guns is straightforward:they make it easy to kill on injure a person. The obvious dangers are, that: approximately 60% of all murder victims in the USA were killed with firearms,in robberies and assaults, victims are far more likely to die when the perpetrator is armed with a gun that when he or she has another weapon or is unarmed.Obviously, there are different types of gun murder. There is 1st degree, premeditated murder, in which case the gun just made it easier, but the killer probably would have killed anyway.Acquaintance murders are done in the heat of passion, and criminal negligence.And in lots of countries "self- defense" is commonly cited as a reason to own a gun. Guns are used for: suicides, self-defense, women's self- defense, collective self- defense.And statistics shows that 40 %of all US have guns; 81% say that gun control will be an important issue in determining which Congressional candidate to vote for; 91%say that there should be at least minor restrictions on gun ownership; 57% say that there should be major restrictions or a ban.And what can government to do with it? I think, that fundamental role of government is to secure the public safety and security. Fewer guns means fewer deaths from homicide, suicide and unintentional deaths. In my opinion, Lithuanians atitude to this gun problem is quite rational. Because if you want to have a gun, you have to pass a lot of commissions and to do another things- you have to be healthy, not to have mental illnesses...Having a gun is a real responsibility for yourself and others.

INTERNET FRAUD


The term "Internet fraud" means a type of fraud which uses any components of the Internet- chat rooms, e-mail, message boards, web sites. It is a crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another persons data in some way, that involves fraud, typically for economic gain.Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to somebody else for their use, your personally data- social security number, bank account, credit card number can be used to personally profit too.Many people do not realise how easily criminals can obtain your personal data, without having to break into your house- "shoulder surfing", listening to conversations.Dumpster diving- going through garbage or trash bin- looking for copies of checks, credit card, your telephone number or something else.In recent years the Internet has become an appealing place for criminals to obtain identifying data.There are telemarketing frauds too- when you send money to person looking forward to receive commodity, but you don't know person, so you can become a victim.And what should we do to avoid being a victim of identity theft? You have to remember word "scam", and to be stingy about giving your personal information to others. To say "no" when you receive a call from unknown person. Don't say any personal information in an open phone box. To check your financial information regularly. be careful about giving out valuable personal data online.There is a department of Justice which prosecutes cases of identity thefts and frauds under a variety of federal statutes.

LIFE LONG LEARNING STATEGIES



There are a lot of people around the world. They have their own lifes thats why they have their own lifelong learning strategies.We started our learning when we have born.Firstly, we tried to find our mothers, fathers, to learn some movements. Secondly, we started to walk, then to speak, to find our individuality. But without help these first steps were impossible.Of course, then follows other things, which are more and more difficulter then before- going to school, learning how to write, read and others things, which will be important in the future.In my opinion, the most important thing is to think about the future, then learning will be easier, when you know, that these things are very important.Secondly, to think about yourself and what you want.Thirdly, to learn from mistakes and to look back.I think, that we have to regret for something what we haven't done, not for something we have done.
