conflicts

A clash of interests, values, actions or directions often sparks a conflict. A conflict can escalate into a verbal exchange and/or result in military conflict, which is our point to consider. Military conflicts are often said to be bad-only things to happen, but is it so? There are only few people in the world admitting that a conflict may lead into a progress, not only to an extermination or some. For instance, World War II gave us a huge favour improving medical treatment, engineering, computer science etc. yes, consequences of conflicts such as mentioned-one are terrible, but, let’s be broad-minded and honest: there always are two sides of a coin.

gun control

Gun politics fundamentally involves the politics of two related questions: Does a government have valid authority to impose regulations on guns? And, assuming such authority, should a government regulate guns and to what extent? The answer to these questions is clear: YES. Such terrible events as shooting in a university/ school or even highly secured governmental base as NASA gives us a great chance to think over if it is maybe too easy for everyone to get a gun anywhere anytime in the Western World. Gun trafficking has became almost impossible to stop in USA and in Eastern Europe, and without more intention to stop it we won’t stop burying our relatives and friends too early.

internet frauds

In this modern society there are only few people who have not hared a thing about internet frauds. And there are more and more one’s who has already surveyed because of them. In Lithuania, for instance, internet frauds are mostly considered as one’s who may steal money from your bank account. And they can. And they do. Although, we shouldn’t be scared of it too much, because money in our bank account, doesn’t matter which bank we use, are insured and there is no way we lost our money like this. On the other hand, knowing this doesn’t really help sometimes, because knowing that there is always someone trying to overrun you and steal from you doesn’t make you sleep well at night.

Criminal Law

A crime is thought of as an act which the state considers to be wrong and which can be punished by the state. There are some acts which are crimes in one country but not in another. Although there is some agreement among the states as to which acts are criminal. In many legal systems it is an important principle that a person can not be considered guilty of a crime until the state proves he committed it. The state must prove his guilt using statutes. Since the circumstances of the case may be very different, the interpreting of the statute is very important. There are usually two important elements to a crime: the criminal act itself (Actus Reus) and the criminal state of mind of the person when he committed the act (Mens Rea). In some cases doing nothing, for example, not feeding a child may also be considered as actusreus. In general, if the prosecution fails to prove either actusreus or mens, the court must decide there was no crime and the case is over. Although, if actus and mens have been proved, a defendant may still avoid guilt if he can show he has a defense – a reason the court should excuse his act. In different countries defenses are dressiness, instantiation, intoxication, self-defense etc. And mitigation may make one’s punishment not to be harsh.

Employment Law

Until about the XIXth century employment rights depended upon employers only. During the industrialization, governments began to see a need for legislation in order to standardize rights and conditions. So, in nowadays, employee’s rights have expanded much: guarantees of a minimum wage no dismiss without a reason, compensations etc. InEngland, for instance, 1978 Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act, 1970 Equal Pay Act etc. attempts to ensure equality of opportunity for employees and job applicants whatever their race or sex. Although, EC employment law seems to be better than English one. In nowadays, the EC is expected to equalize the employment law of its members. InJapan, for instance, employees enjoy more security than one’s from western countries. Although, the employment law there is poor to compare as few workers are given clear job descriptions or written contracts.
