Eighteen-year-old Alisha was driving through her neighborhood one afternoon and recognized six-year-old Timmy, a member of the C

aldwell family, who lived a block away from her house. Alisha used to babysit for Timmy on weekday afternoons until a few months ago, when she started working at a local grocery store. From her car, Alisha could see Timmy was flailing around in the water next to the dock of Maverick Pond, the neighborhood's favorite fishing spot. Alisha knew that the there was a big drop off there where the water was very deep, well over Timmy's head. Because she was late for work, she decided to keep driving, thinking that Timmy's parents must be close by. She feels terrible later when she discovers that Timmy is hospitalized in critical condition after nearly drowning in the pond. Did Alisha have a legal obligation to come to Timmy's aid?

The correct answer is no.

Alisha was under no obligation to help Timmy, <em>there is no such thing like</em> <em>duty to rescue.</em> There is no legal requirement in the United States to help and rescue someone who is in danger. Even in extreme situation, when a person sees a person falling into a river for example, the witness of the situation is no obliged to assist with help.

There are some cases with some important exceptions: if the defendant created the peril he is obliged to come to the plaintiff's aid, if the defendant started to rescue the plaintiff, he must continue to do so, if the defendant is in a special relationship with the plaintiff ( teacher-student, worker-employer), he is under duty to rescue him.

Alisha was under no duty to inform Timmy's parents of the danger facing him <em>but she should have done it nevertheless.</em> She should at least have phoned them if she didn't have the time to stop by. She knew the boy well and she should have cared more. The need to help the boy should have come from her moral guidance and not as a sense of duty to be performed.

Answer: Youssif is <u><em>an object relations </em></u>therapist.

Explanation:

Object relations therapy has its roots in <em>Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory</em>, and people's need to form relationships with other people. <em>Object relations therapist</em> wants to help his patient explore early mental images that influenced present relationships with other people, and thus resolve any problems/difficulties in those relationships.

Alenkasestr [34]

A social Psychologist referred to social loafing as the situation when only three of the four actually do the required work for a group presentation.

Social loafing is a phenomenon in psychology where people work less or exert less effort towards the particular goal of the group while working in a group. Social loafing may not seem visible while calculating the team performance as a whole, this phenomenon occurs when an individual's work is taken into consideration because, in the group, some members actually do the required work while others put less effort leading to the situation of social loafing.

The larger the group, the fewer effort members exert and the more clear social loafing experienced. In this condition, other members have to come forward in order to compensate for the work left by low members.

Create a plan for government that allows the emperor, the shogun, the daimyo, and the samurai to work together
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Split the Government into a Diarchy type situation

The Emperor leads Domestic Affairs, while the Shogun leads Military affairs within japan, create a parliament full of the daimyo so that internal politics becomes easier, and have the samurai act as Guards for important people in government.

This is just a brief idea, and the Shogun would likely just take back control, although I believe you can provide the checks and balances.
