Answer:

Tort law

Explanation:

                A tort is simple terms can be explained as the wrongful act committed by a person or a party which causes damages and injuries to the other party. In such cases, the civil law states that the victim may demand for recovery of the damages from the party which caused the damaged by lawful means.

               The person who is the victim and have suffered the damages is known as the claimant or plaintiff, while the person or party who caused the damages is called as the defendant. And the law suit filed is called as the tort action.

                 In the context, Mary is the plaintiff while Ted is the defendant as Ted hit Mary's mini van from rear end and caused heavy damaged to the mini van of Mary. Thus Mary in order to recover compensation for the damages will file a tort action based on the tort law against Ted.

Hence the answer is -- Tort law.

ludmilkaskok [199]

The Nacirema people are a group of people who live in the territory north of the Tarahuamare people of Mexico and are native Americans. Nacirema is America spelt backwards. From the article,  we are made to know that the nacirema people relish their bodies as they consider it a weak vessel that needs to be taken care of frequently through their body rituals. Every nacireman owns a shrine and there he does his magical body rituals. The nacirema are quite different in their cultural practice and magical beliefs such as the body ritual and hence considered quite unusual.  We are reminded however of  the danger of interpreting a culture based on first impressions of practices which seem unfamiliar to the observer. Invariably concluding that we should never make conclude that a people are quite different from us as they're in fact not.

Explain in detail, why the Indian Removal Act was genocide?
oee [108]
<span>The Removal Act that was passed by Congress on May 28, 1830 gave the president the power to bargain in the relocation of southern Indian tribes to federal land in return for their ancestral land.  It was genocide because many Indians were forced out of their ancestral lands and many were killed by disease during their travel to federal territory.  Those who resisted were killed due to disease and many conflicts came about as some of the Indians fought back.  Among the tribes who suffered under this act were the Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Chickasaws and Creek.  Many more died on the Trail of Tears.</span>
