Critical Commentary/summary on TWO of the topics

Topic: critical commentary/summary paper

critical commentary/summary on TWO of the topics

• What does Luhmann mean by approaching law as an ‘autopoietic system’?
• Explain the way in which Luhmann sees the legal system as both ‘operationally
closed’ and ‘cognitively open’. Can you think of counter- examples, such as when
the legal system is not operationally closed at all?
• In his systems-theoretical approach to society as a whole, do you think that
Luhmann accords a special place to law, and how would you explain what is
distinctive about it?
• How does ‘structural coupling’ work, what is the relationship between law and
politics, law and the economy, law and civil society?
• Do you think Luhmann’s approach is too abstract? What place does it give to
human action?

• What is Bourdieu referring to when he speaks of ‘fields’?
• How would you explain what the ‘field of law’ is, and how does it relate to other
social fields?
• What does the concept of ‘legal habitus’ refer to?
• “… the law has its own complex, specific, and often antagonistic relation to the
exercise of power” (Terdiman, p. 808). Can you think of any examples?
• Take one recent major legal development and explain how it would be
understood differently if approached in terms of Bourdieu’s strategic analysis.

exploring Health Education in the 21st Century (Project Part #1 )

Final Project Component 1
Health educators may be involved in the analysis of a case study to demonstrate how they will implement strategies to address a health issue for a given population. Within a case study, you will find extensive health information that may support the strategies which a health educator may recommend for this health issue. Or, you may find that a different or alternative strategy not mentioned in the case study is supported by the health information provided. Thus, as a future health educator, your health literacy skills whereby you filter, analyze, and interpret health-related information, will be important when reviewing a case study. Furthermore, you may also find that health literacy skills are important when engaged in research and identification of potential sources to assist in your recommendations for health education practice.
Note: In grading this Assignment, your Instructor uses the Final Project Components Rubric, located in the Course Information area. Review the Rubric prior to completing your Assignment.
Describe the health issue that you selected from the case study, including an explanation of why this health issue is important for the health education profession.
Describe how this health issue should be addressed through a specific health education program.
Include a list of 3–5 peer-reviewed literature resources that you are considering using as support for your Final Project.
Identify data-based resources or support for this health issue.

Research Designs: Recommending a Research Scenario

When choosing a research design, the design to use depends on the question you’re asking. For this Discussion, you will work a bit backwards: you will be given a design and then determine the research question that would be appropriate to the design. By looking at the design from both ends, you will learn this vital concept in more depth than if you had only approached it in one way.

Analyze the design given in terms of appropriateness, assumptions, strengths and weaknesses, and threats to internal and external validity. See the Application for more detail.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 3- to 5-paragraph analysis of your assigned quantitative research design. Your analysis should include:

Contract Law

1. (15 marks) Dorothy, a widow, felt the family home was now too large for her to manage. She told her adult children that she was selling the home called ‘Gum Leaves’. Brian, Dorothy’s son’s closest friend, had always loved Gum Leaves and offered to buy it from Dorothy. Dorothy thought about Brian’s offer and sent him a letter which stated in part:
“I would be happy to sell you my family home ‘Gum Leaves’ for a price of $2,000,000.”
Brian responded that he would only be able to pay $1,500,000, payable in four equal instalments over a two year
period.
Dorothy wrote back to Brian, indicating that she was prepared to accept $1,500,000, and asking whether he would pay cash in one lump sum on settlement. .Brian then replied:
“I am delighted that we have reached agreement about the sale of “Gum Leaves”. I will need to pay you in four instalments as previously advised.”
Meanwhile, Dorothy received a letter from Lionel, a property developer, which advised:
“I would be happy to pay $1,750,000 in cash for your fine family home. Please advise by phoning 9788 2XXX if this is acceptable to you.”
After she received the reply from Brian advising he would still be paying in instalments, Dorothy phoned Lionel and said that she was happy to accept his offer, subject only to a contract being drawn up in a form which was acceptable to her family solicitors.
Dorothy phones her son David, telling him that she has sold the house to Lionel and asks him to let Brian know. When David phones Brian, Brian says “It’s too late – we already have a contract.”
Dorothy phones her son David, telling him that she has sold the house to Lionel and asks him to let Brian know. When David phones Brian, Brian says “It’s too late – we already have a contract.”
Lionel changes his mind and tells Dorothy he is not proceeding with the purchase.
Advise Dorothy whether she has a binding contract for the sale of Gum Leaves with either/neither or both of Lionel and Brian.

Emily agrees to buy one of the young dogs, called Fang. for $3,000, to be paid in two instalments of $1,500 each. She pays the first instalment and takes the dog away. Emily later calls Rachael and says “Can you promise me that Fang is even tempered?” Rachael says that he is and Emily promises to pay the final instalment of the purchase price. She transfers the money the following day.
Fang bites Emily in a fit of bad temper, hurting her hand. Emily commences proceedings against Rachael for breach of contract. Rachael denies that Fang’s temper was ever a term of the contract.

Due to negligent navigation by its captain the ferry collides with an underwater obstruction marked by a warning buoy. The ferry sinks slowly enough for all the passengers and crew to be rescued but the ferry and vehicles on it are lost.
