11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

This statement is incorrect, since the theory has enormous relevance in law.

Explanation:

The law is basically a set of norms that regulates life in society, establishing guidelines for coexistence and rules of conduct that, if not complied with, have consequences that can range from simple fines to time in prison.

But unlike what the statement says, the law is composed of a theoretical component, which implies the sociological and cultural study of the law and the society to which it will apply, the consequences that it may have and its use in other societies. Without this study, the laws would be empty of content, since they would be simple rules without any basis and, therefore, very easy to be broken.

Justify the title of the poem?<br>the leader and the led<br>

OLga [1]

Answer:

The title of the poem The Leader and the Led by Niyi Osundare speaks to the various dimensions of attitude within the ambit of Leadership.

It speaks to the indivisible union between leadership and followership.

In the first line, he opens up the poem by describing the attribute of the Leader as a lion who is unafraid to stake his claim. He contrasts that with the Antelope who is always fearful and reminded of the paws of the Lion.

It speaks therefore to the requirement of the Leader to be strong when he or she has to be. It also indicates that the leader cannot always be nice.

By an Ironic statement in line 9, he points out the reason why a duplicitous person cannot lead. He likens such a person to a Zebra. Duplicity equals the inability to inspire trust. Trust is an essential and critical quality for a leader. In line 10 he communicates that the followers are not as powerless as they have been painted to be in line 6 as fearful Impalas, for they also have the ability to finger the flaws of a leader to limelight and remove their following from he or she.

Lines 19 and 20 suffices in the description of a balanced leader as one who must be firm when it is required and gentle when the occasion calls for it.

The entire imagery painted by the poem is a fine depiction of leadership using metaphorical analogies of the animal kingdom.

For as in the animal kingdom, animals have leadership and following, so also do humans.

In which case would it be more dangerous to the passengers, if the cars crashed into each other and stopped right at the collisi

andrew-mc [135]

It would be more dangerous if the cars bounced off. This is because the airbags will deploy if the car stops, leaving them only with the injuries they have. However, if they bounce off, they can hit additional cars or accidently fall off a cliff. The damage opportunity is worse if they bounce off.

I hope this helps! :)

(c) A defendant may not withdraw a voluntary and knowing waiver as a matter of right, but the court, in its discretion, may permit withdrawal prior to the commencement of the trial.

Standard 15- 1.3. Waiver of full jury or of unanimous verdict*

How are earthquake caused?

jarptica [38.1K]

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The Pacific Plate consists of most of the Pacific Ocean floor and the California Coast line. The North American Plate comprises most the North American Continent and parts of the Atlantic Ocean floor. The primary boundary between these two plates is the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is more than 650 miles long and extends to depths of at least 10 miles. Many other smaller faults like the Hayward (Northern California) and the San Jacinto (Southern California) branch from and join the San Andreas Fault Zone.

The Pacific Plate grinds northwestward past the North American Plate at a rate of about two inches per year. Parts of the San Andreas Fault system adapt to this movement by constant "creep" resulting in many tiny shocks and a few moderate earth tremors. In other areas where creep is NOT constant, strain can build up for hundreds of years, producing great earthquakes when it finally releases.
