Duress and Undue Influence             Under the Contract Law, Unconscionable contract refers to anagreement, which is one-sided and unfair that a court deems unenforceable, either in whole or a part of it. Either of the parties involved cannot enforce discriminatory terms, which are identified in a contract by the court of law. A court determines unconscionability through the examination of either bargaining power, or unfair terms evident in a contract between parties. In particular, a court of law that identifies unfair terms,such as undue influence and duress, evident in an agreement document between parties can deem part or the entire contract void, or the defendant is directed to modify specific terms. Undue influence occurs when one party is induced through mental pressure to sign a contract without their free will, afterpersuasion or false promises from the superior memberin the agreement. Duress occurs when one party threatens the other so that they can sign a contract. The threat may be verbal or physical aimed to injure the person, their family, or friends. Duress and undue influence constitute illegal actions regarding the…

Quantitative Research   Quantitative Studies Background Hospitalization of young children for an extended period results in a gradual loss of the ability to cope with the external challenges that may lead to depression conditions called hospitalization syndrome. Children may have a dramatic effect on an individual’s welfare because of the stress and loneliness caused by isolation from the home environment, and a decrease in physical and emotional health may happen consequently. Thus need to design a cheaper and effective intervention, which may lower depression among hospitalized children by stimulating social response and physical body activity. Dog therapy has acted as an innovative intervention that may reduce physiological conditions of hospitalized patients, because of its ability to enhance communication, thus of essence in nursing.  The research purposely evaluates dog therapy as an invention to improve psychological conditions of hospitalized patients—also, the study aims at introducing animal therapy as an alternative to music therapy in healthcare facilities. However, how effective is pet therapy in comparison to art therapy in minimizing hospitalization syndrome among children aged ten to fifteen years? How do these…

The risk factors and pathophysiology leading to the presenting condition Bilateral knee osteoarthritisencompassesdegradation of the cartilage along with bone remodeling as a result of an active reaction to chondrocytes within the articular cartilage as well as the inflammatory cells situated in the surrounding tissues (TeachMeSurgery, 2020).These cells often release enzymes, which in turn, break down proteoglycans and collage. Consequently, the articular cartilage is destroyed. Furthermore, after the underlying subchondral bone is exposed, sclerosis occurs, followed by reactive remodeling changes, which then give rise to osteophytes not mentioning subchondral bone cysts(TeachMeSurgery, 2020).…

No Impact man Reflection No Impact Man is the name of a project of a blog, book, and a documentary by Colin Beavan. The film is about the author’s quest to live eco-effectively for one year while still living in the heart of New York. The author, together with his family, eliminates elements of urban living, including electricity, motorized transport, among other comforts of the modern world that many urban dwellers consider necessities. Although initially intended as an experiment, the act went on to gain widespread attention among the media and played a significant role in spreading the message that modern life is unsustainable. The experiment also showed how difficult it is for the mordent human being to live without the use of technology and the potential issues that may arise from attempting radical changes in pone’s life.  The experiment provided an insight into how emotional well-being intertwines with our environment and daily activities. This essay discusses personal lessons that were learned from a review of this experiment at length, with an emphasis on how the experiment changed the way…

Women Like Holding Hands More Than Men For many people, couples or a group of people walking together either entering a social establishment, holding hands is not uncommon. The act of holding hands has become so common such that people do not notice they are holding hands or notice other people holding hands. For couples, the act may be viewed as a sign of intimacy; for others, it is a sign of friendship while a parent holding their child’s hand is a sign of security and parental love. Regardless of a person’s understanding of the act of holding another person’s arms, hand-holding is a common practice. Thus, I decided to conduct a research study to understand which gender likes to participate in the act of holding hands more than the other. For my research, I chose to observe the behaviour of people at a shopping mall. Through interviews and interacting with the test subjects, it becomes apparent that women are more likely to hold the hands of their walking partners than men. To conduct effective research to identify which gender…

General Anxiety Disorder The topic of my speech is general anxiety and the reason why most people fail to seek help. I know most of you know what anxiety is, but I will explain; anxiety is a mental disorder that causes nervousness, worry, and fear in the people that are affected by it. Anxiety affects how people feel and behave. As recorded by the National Institutes of Mental Health in the United States, anxiety disorders are the most common conditions among individuals in the United States, and it affects at least 20 percent of the overall population every year (Robichaud, Koerner & Dugas, 2019). Most individuals that are considered to have anxiety disorders indicate high severity in their problems. This suggests that in every ten people walking in the streets of America, at least two are suffering from an anxiety disorder (Robichaud et al., 2019). The problem with this disorder is that most people who have it hardly seek for help, while others do not even realize that they suffer from it. The World Health Organization ascertains that the treatment…

Marine Drive Skytrain Station Bus Terminal Observing is an essential tool for evaluating a social phenomenon. By observing a bus terminal, passengers can provide an observer with practical information to understand the characteristics of the environment. In this case, the observer will rely on smell and hearing to analyze, express, and define those stimuli in words from the perspective of urban geography students. The connection to nature and the busy life of people will also be analyzed. The SkyTrain system is relatively the best utility to maneuver around Vancouver. It runs on clean energy sourced from the hydroelectric dams in British Columbia, Canada. The system is albeit a source of noise pollution for those people living near one of the high ground lines. However, they are not as loud as the older railway systems in major cities in North America, such as New York and Chicago (Lupick, 2018). Nonetheless, the noise is irritating to some residents near the SkyTrain lines, which has prompted Translink, the owner, to take the necessary measures. The smell in the SkyTrain is mainly due to…
