thoughts that fulfil the meaning of compassion. For example, to me compassion means love. I feel as though the act of being loving comes from the bottom of the individual’s heart and out of understanding. A person cannot just be loving since it is right, but because the person wants to be loving. I also believe that compassion means being warm hearted towards someone.

Politics intervene into the every day life; the idea of having policies or legislation is to protect the rights of the citizens of a nation, to see that their basic human rights are maintained and cared for.

Finally, strict gender roles may inspire women to rebel against them, and allow women to carry out attacks strategically…

Despite the fact that women went through abortions in the US in the 1900’s, there were laws that restricted women to go through abortion but no like today, “The early twenty-first century the United States has seen a wave of state legislation aimed at curtailing the availability of abortion that in many ways mirrors earlier legislative efforts from the nineteenth century” (Lahey, 1), new laws were added in the past 50 years that restrict women from going through an abortion. However, the girl…

Common Law Development Australia has not formally recognised a legal right to privacy, however, it is argued that privacy is incidentally protected by other civil actions, such as breach of confidence, or trespass. The absence of a common law right to privacy was established in Victoria Park Racing and Recreation Grounds Co Ltd v Taylor (‘Victoria’).
