Civil & Public Law Summary

The text is about the main differences in Civil and Public law. In civil law, a private party files the lawsuit and becomes the plaintiff. In Public law, the litigation is always filed by the government, who is called the prosecution.

Both civil law and public law in England has their main categories. Civil law relates contracts, torts, trusts, probates and family law, while the public law - crimes, constitutional law and international law.

One of the most fundamental distinctions between civil and public law is in the punishments. In criminal law, a guilty defendant is punished by either life imprisonment, fine paid to the government, or, in exceptional cases, execution of the defendant: the death penalty. In Public law a defendant in civil action is never imprisoned and never executed.

The second important distinction is the standards of proof that are higher in a criminal action than in a civil one. As well as the procedures in criminal actions are always started by the state, while in civil action - by company or private individual.

Lifelong Learning Strategy

Lifelong learning is determined by our instant society and its specific features, such as fast development of science and technology, globalisation and others. A man needs more and more qualifications that is when you learn to do something you can't live with the same knowledge whole life.

Lifelong learning shouldn't be comprehensible only as academic learning. We are learning something new every day.

Therefore it would be very difficult to specify what is the best learning strategy for people to use. The problem is that there are many different people in the world and many different strategies of learning, especially a lifelong strategy. Because as many would agree with me, each person in this strange planet lives his own individual life and has his own style of living.

However, there are some conditions that can help a person to have longer and better life. For instance to eat right food, to be an optimist, start loving ourselves and our body, use skin protection aids, protect our environment and etc.

The number of these ideas is uncountable as well as the number of lifelong learning strategies, because we are like Irwing's Garp living a life according to us and nobody else. :)
