In the long history, there are considerable cases in which individuals shifted from a low social status to political prominence through success in imperial examination. After the imperial examination was abolished, the university entrance examination took the place and became a means for people to get employment in the state sector. Today
The death penalty is an intensely debated issue. It has been subject to controversy and was abolished for murder in 1965 on a temporary basis of 5 years and subsequently permanently removed in 1969. However this was not extended to crimes such as treason and piracy which continued under the Treason Act 1914 and the Piracy Act 1837. The last death penalty took place in 1964 when Peter Allen was executed. The death penalty was eventually removed under any circumstances when the Home Sectary signed
jury is considered as fundamental part of the English legal system, albeit only a minority of the cases is tried by the jury in these days. In a sense it plays a vital role in ensuring that the criminal justice system works for the benefit of the public rather than for the benefit of unjust leaders. It promotes not only a healthy criminal justice system but also a healthy society, where political leaders can not abuse criminal justice system to silence their opponents.

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and Code of Practice are the main laws that have been produced to try to protect the rights of people, for the public to feel safe and the police to have a guideline.. But some people think that they infringe on human rights to go about their business and their right to privacy.

including changes to the laws on divorce and abortion: The new Communist state thought that women should be allowed to have a job instead of being only housewives (socialist dream for women). Lenin saw the traditional wife as a slave to her husband. To be able to ‘free’ women, facilities such as canteens, laundries, kindergartens, etc would be needed (domestic services). Lenin thought that this should be done. If this was to happen, women and men would also become more equal and women have more freedom
classic black-letter definition of a public nuisance is "an act or omission which obstructs or causes inconvenience or damage in the exercise of rights common to all."2 As discussed in the last module, the concept of public nuisance is poorly understood and has been the subject of heated debate for more than a century. Much of this current confusion can be traced to the Restatement (Second) of Torts, beginning with Section 821B which states that: 1. A public nuisance is an unreasonable interference

(Chapter 2) In 1920s, the New York Board of Education was a great place to become a teacher. They had the highest salaries, great benefits, and employees were treated equally. This school system was expanding rapidly since school was free to the public. The more students, the more teachers the Board of Education needed. “Unlike other city school board, the New York Board of Education had no quotas for African American or Jewish applicants, and women and men were hired and paid equally” (Rousmaniere
pay is by no means a new idea. In the 1860’s a ‘payment by results’ system for teachers in Victoria was already in operation, with bonuses available to teachers whose students performed well in standard examinations. By the turn of the century, the system, regarded as a failure, was abolished. So why
‘How do people and society respond to environmental hazards and what factors influence their choice of adjustments?’ (Cutter 1996). Discuss this statement with reference to examples of both natural and technological hazards. Introduction Environmental hazards fall under two headings: Chronic and Catastrophic. Catastrophic hazards are those with a high magnitude and low frequency. They create huge media attention as the rate of change from what would have been considered as ‘normal’ conditions
truths, which, from their very simplicity, commonly escape vulgar minds, incapable of analysing objects, accustomed to receive impressions without distinction, and to be determined rather by the opinions of others, than by the result of their own examination. If we look into history we shall find that laws which are, or ought to be, conventions between men in a state of freedom, have been, for the most part, the work of the passions of a few, or the consequences of a fortuitous or temporary necessity;
States. Mr. Chief Justice MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court. At the last term, on the affidavits then read and filed with the clerk, a rule was granted in this case requiring the Secretary of State to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directing him to deliver to William Marbury his commission as a justice of the peace for the county of Washington, in the District of Columbia. No cause has been shown, and the present motion is for a mandamus. The peculiar delicacy of

INTRODUCTION 1 As the world's oldest continuos civilisation, the Chinese can be justly proud of their achievements. Early creation of a written language, development of elaborate techniques of silk - weaving, wet rice cultivation, invention of the compass and gun powder are but a few of the more outstanding of these accomplishments. For some 3000 years, China has been one of the main centres of the world. Rivalled for sheer power and sophisticated living only by the Roman imperial colossus,
dismissed the findings as they were too expensive to implement and did not officially release the report. Only 260 copies were ever produced (Gordon et al, 1999). The Black Report stated that there was significant evidence that poverty needed to be abolished to reduce inequalities in health as it was found that people who live in poverty are more likely to have health problems and thus suffer neglect and other forms of abuse (DHSS, 1980). ).

The insanity defense has evolved over centuries. People have always believed that it is immoral to punish a person who is not responsible for their criminal behavior, because if a person does not know what they are doing at the time of a crime they should not have to be punished for it. The Roman Empire that found people non-compos mentis (Latin. without mastery of mind) where not held responsible for their criminal actions. The Roman concept of “mastery of mind” has evolved into the modern concept

Civil Society in Ancient Greece: The Case of Athens by Roderick T. Long Author’s note: This article is a follow-up to my earlier article "The Athenian Constitution: Government by Jury and Referendum" and should be read in conjunction with it. Some writers have so confounded government with society, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the
