Physical Resistance in Rape

The Essentiality of Physical Resistance in Rape: A Comparative Legal Dimension. By Dr. Mohamad Ismail Bin Hj. Mohamad Yunus Historically, the element of resistance which is in concert with the used of force by the accused - which a fully comprehending woman must show when sexual advances are made remains a vexed question. No doubt the vexations nature of the problem arises from prevailing social and moral attitude towards sexual relations. Perhaps due to acceptance of the sentiments of Sir Matthew Hale in his oft quoted statement: "It is true rape is a most detestable crime, and therefore ought severely and impartially to be punished with death; but it must be remembered, that it is an accusation easily to be made and hard to be proved."1 It is noted that the assertions that the important issue in a prosecution for rape is non-consent rather than active repulsion have in many cases tended to be quietly overlooked in the search for evidence of struggle by the complainant, struggle being regarded as essential factual evidence of non-consent, and often a lack of this factual evidence leading to the assumption that consent must have been given.2 Indeed the framing of some judgments leads rapidly to the belief that the "without consent" construction is limited to cases of fraud or complete helplessness on the part of the complainant, unconsciousness, total mental incapacity.

Jonathan Tindall10x1 Final Draft

Direct a scene from 'Romeo and Juliet'. Discuss how you would stage this in modern and Shakespearean times. In this essay I will imagine that I am directing a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I will be discussing how I would stage this scene in both modern and Shakespearean times. Throughout the play there are strong scenes of violence between the two warring families (the Capulets and the Montagues) and the scene I have chosen to base my essay on is a prime example of this. The scene I have chosen to discuss is act three scene one. This is an extremely powerful scene and is one of the most pivotal points in the play as it shows us the deaths of both Mercutio and Tybalt while also showing us the banishment of Romeo. It also portrays the characters deepest feeling towards the family grudge. Staging the play in Shakespearean times will obviously be a lot different to a modern day production. To show this I will be looking at cast, costumes, sets, props, lighting, the most important points in the scene and how imperative the audience are to the play. I will start by discussing whom I would cast in the roles of the main characters. Casting roles in Shakespearean times would be a lot more difficult because of the fact that in those times only males were allowed to perform on stage. This would obviously cause problems when casting roles such as Juliet, Juliet's nurse, Lady Montague

Project Objective The project objective is to investigate the practices of privatization in traditional market economies and the evaluation of their performances, by examining the telecommunication industry, more specifically SingTel. 2 Market Economy and Government's Role 2.1 Market Economy A market economy is an economy that operates by the "invisible hand". Producers and consumers are left to make their own choices regarding production and purchase of product quantity, variety and price. i.e. The economy operates by supply and demand forces, without intervention. This economy is in direct opposite of a Command Economy, where government committees determine the quantity, variety, and prices of production of goods. As perfect information do not exist in any economies, these central decisions will cause the maximum social benefits to decrease, causing a deadweight loss, because the decisions may not match supply to demand. Following such arguments, it seems that government intervention causes economy to function less efficiently. However, government has a role to play even in a market economy. 2.2 The Role of Government Governments in market economies play critical roles in providing the economic conditions in which the marketplace of private enterprise can function most effectively. To name a few, firstly, basic infrastructure for any industries which no producers

Hearing impairment andthe impact on social relationships for the child.

Hearing impairment and the impact on social relationships for the child. This essay discusses what hearing and speech impairment is, and some of the common causes for hearing loss in children, and then investigates the different causes of hearing loss and, depending on how serious the loss, the difficulties it can cause. After focusing on what social development is, we then discuss how the disability affects the child's social development. A number of past theories will be discussed which have been concluded in relation to the effects of hearing and speech impairment on a child's social development. Different areas of a child's learning will be looked at including language, behaviour and academic level and how they form part of a child's social development, and if affected, how these areas hinder the social development of the child. Furthermore we will look at the role of parents and professionals within the mainstream setting, and some of the possible strategies, which could be pursued to deal with children's pro-social behaviour. The conclusion will discuss the impact of hearing impairment on the child in the mainstream setting, and what professionals can do in order to enhance a child's social development. Human hearing and speech are the means by which we communicate ideas and transmit information and emotions. Speech and language are usually acquired through hearing

Care for Babies

By Naomi Lloyd In this chapter I will be describing the care routines for babies between 0-1 year, specifically I will be looking at birth, one month, three months, six months and one year. I will also be focusing on the physical care of the baby, the development of relationships between the baby and the parents and also stimulating learning. Birth When your baby is born the midwife will carry out some health checks to make sure they are perfectly healthy. The most commonly known test is the Apgar score; this is a method of evaluating the health of a newborn baby by checking five vital signs (Meggitt. C 1999). The Apgar score is assessed at one and five minuets after birth. Source www.sweethaven02.com/ObsNewborn/922les8_img_3.jpg If the baby scores between 0-2 they have sever asphyxia, which is impaired or impeded breathing (Webster's New World Medical Dictionary) and they need resuscitation, 3-4 means the baby has moderate asphyxia and needs treatment such as an oxygen mask to help them breathe, between 5-7 the baby has mild asphyxia and may require treatment, between 8-9 the baby is in good condition and 10 means they are in the best possible condition. Most babies score nine, losing one point for having blue extremities (hands and feet). Shortly after this the midwife will weigh your baby measure their head circumference, this is considered very important as the

Child Development (AO1)

A level Coursework Case Study Jayden lives in a nuclear family, with his mother, father and two younger siblings. He is 8 years old and is now in year 3 of his junior school. He was born on the 11th December 1998 in Hillingdon Hospital, and his due date was the 29th December. This indicates that he was 2 weeks and 4 days premature. During the birth of Jayden, his mother was going to have a normal labour. However, Jayden became very distressed and his heartbeat was dropping rapidly. Therefore, the mother had to have an emergency caesarean. When he was born, he had jaundice. This meant that Jayden's skin was very yellow, which could have affected his liver. However once he was born, they put him under a light for two to three hours and injected him with Vitamin K to solve the problem. His birth weight was 5lb 4oz, which was very small compared to the average birth weight between 6 to 9lb. He also had a head circumference of 33cm, which was below average of 35cm. Lastly; Jayden's length was 45cm, which was also below the average length of 48 to 50cm. Gradually over the first few weeks of Jayden's birth, his height started increasing; at 3 weeks his height was 49cm and at 5 weeks it increased to 52cm. He was breast fed for the first 2-3 months of his birth, which may have helped his growth and development. As a baby, Jayden would whine and cry a lot, he was also quite slow
