Rule of Law: Criminal Law

Facts 1: Sophie is the president of Tasty Foods Corporation, a wholesale grocery company. An inspection by Uri, a government agent, uncovers unsanitary conditions caused by Vic, a Tasty Foods employee, in the company’s warehouse. Will, a Tasty Foods vice president, assures Uri that the situation will be corrected, but a later inspection reveals no such corrections. Sophie knows nothing about any of this.

Issue: Can Tasty Foods be convicted of a crime in these circumstances? Define, explain, and decide

Issue: Can Sophie be held personally liable? Define, explain and decide

Facts 2: Fred, a successful stockbroker, gives a lecture about investing. Some of the persons who attend the lecture form Gain & Profit, an investment club, and ask Fred to advise them. Gain & Profit allows Fred to set up an account for the club with a brokerage firm and gives Fred control of the account, but does not authorize Fred to withdraw funds for his own benefit. Fred uses the money in the Gain & Profit account to repay personal loans. Charged with embezzlement, Fred defends his actions on the ground that he intended to repay the club.

Issue: Is Fred guilty of embezzlement? Why or why not? Define, explain and decide.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to both questions is yes.

Explanation:

A corporation may be held liable for the crime of its employee if (1) the criminal act is within the scope of the employment and the purpose of the statute defining the act as a crime is to impose liability on the corporation, (2) the crime consists of a failure to perform a specific duty imposed on corporations by law, and (3) the crime was authorized by one of the corporation's "high managerial agents." Here, all of these elements exist. The unsanitary conditions in the warehouse are within the employee's scope of employment, the crime consists of a failure to keep the warehouse clean, and the crime was authorized by a company vice president. As for the president's personal liability, if she has the authority and the responsibility to deal with the situation, she can be held personally liable. A corporate officer must have the authority and the responsibility to deal with such situations. Personal liability is imposed in these circumstances, not because the corporate officer knew about the crime or intended it, but because the officer is in a "responsible relationship" to the corporation and has the power to prevent the crime. Under this "responsible corporate officer" doctrine, a corporate officer can be held liable for an employee's violations of the law. This liability may be imposed regardless of whether the officer participated in, directed, or knew about the violation.

What do you mean by Court?

Court, sometimes known as a court of law, is a person or group of people with the power to hear and decide matters involving civil, criminal, ecclesiastical, or military conflicts.

A number of small civil concerns are handled by civil courts, such as: consumer disputes; landlord and tenant conflicts (such as eviction, rent arrears, and repairs); (eg as faulty goods)

Tort claims, breach of contract proceedings, and landlord/tenant disputes are the three most frequent civil cases. A civil case often goes through the following stages: filing a complaint, gathering evidence, conducting a trial, and appealing the decision.

Most frequently, a judge will hear them alone and reach a decision by gathering evidence and using the pertinent legal standards. Arguments may be made regarding the veracity of the facts and the precise nature of the law. The judge will render a reasoned decision following the conclusion of the argument.

Therefore, The answer is civil court.

Why boy fight with girl is conwardice but girl fight with boy is not conwardice?​

Answers

Answer:

Boys should never hit a girl unless it's self defense. Not just because their a boy. But even when it is self defence you should never hit a girl. Boys have more strength than girls SOMETIMES. And they don't know how much they are actually hurting them. If a girl hits a boy than it once again SOMETIMES may hurt. But a girl isn't naturally built like a boy so the hits may not hurt as bad. Anyways a boy should never hit a girl unless it's self defense and even then they should not hit. They should have another girl handle it. Unless it happens more than once. But if you hit a girl and they get mad at you they can say a lot of things that can get you in trouble. So you should never take matters into your own hands. Try to let someone else (another girl maybe) handle it. As I said girls can get you in trouble for something you never did. Or  something. Boys should never hit a girl though.

Encyclopaedia Britannica's editors oversee subject areas in which they have extensive knowledge, whether from years of experience gained by working on that content or via study for an advanced degree....

See Article History

Proportional representation, electoral system that seeks to create a representative body that reflects the overall distribution of public support for each political party. Where majority or plurality systems effectively reward strong parties and penalize weak ones by providing the representation of a whole constituency to a single candidate who may have received fewer than half of the votes cast (as is the case, for example, in the United States), proportional representation ensures minority groups a measure of representation proportionate to their electoral support. Systems of proportional representation have been adopted in many countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Por qué la empatía y el asertividad son habilidades de la comunicación que permiten una mejor adaptación social?

Answers

Explanation:

Los seres humanos son seres sociales, por lo que existe la necesidad de desarrollar y mejorar las habilidades de comunicación para que haya una mejor adaptación social en cada entorno que los individuos necesitan para socializar, como en su comunidad local y en el entorno laboral.

Hay dos características que pueden ayudar en esta adaptación social, que es la empatía y la asertividad, que son habilidades que se complementan entre saber escuchar y saber hablar, porque una persona empática es capaz de comprender al otro emocional y cognitivamente, poniéndose en su lugar otro individuo para comprender y escuchar sin juzgar, pero generando identificación y aceptación. Una persona asertiva, en cambio, es aquella que defiende sus opiniones y se comunica de forma clara, directa y objetiva, pero no de forma agresiva, sino a través de una postura firme que genera seriedad y transparencia en la comunicación.

How have voting rights expanded over time? (think about the groups of people and the 6% we originally started at)

Answers

Answer:

Over time, voting rights have been expanding in a notorious and fair way. Thus, initially, only white men with high purchasing power of legal age could exercise their right to vote. Subsequently, the economic requirement was abolished, allowing all white men to exercise this right.

After the Civil War, the northern states of the country allowed African Americans the right to vote, while the southern states exercised segregation over them. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women, through feminist movements, obtained the right to participate in elections. Finally, African Americans consolidated their right to vote after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
