The Civil Of Chinese Immigrants On The Transcontinental...

Migrating to America in search of new opportunities, sadly, the Chinese were referred to as Chinks and coolies. Throughout history, Americans have been in debt to immigrant groups, like the Chinese, who were the only ones willing to do the most dangerous and underpaid work. Yet, Americans have been the most hostile towards the Chinese—the only racial group ever to face an Exclusion Act. During the 19th century, 80,000 Chinese immigrants arrived in the United States during the Gold Rush, but they found no gold—only nativists who did not want them there. So, instead of mining, many Chinese settled for odd jobs and labored on the Transcontinental Railroad, a previously unparalleled project to connect the American West Coast with the American†¦show more content†¦However, Charles Crocker, one of the Big Four investors of the railroad, became so desperate for labor that he convinced Strobridge to try and hire the Chinese: â€Å"They built the Great Wall. They can d o it† (Elish). Finally, in 1863, the Chinese, who were believed to be inferior to whites, were given the opportunity to work on the Transcontinental Railroad. In the end, hiring the Chinese was a very wise decision because they were the cheapest and they worked the hardest. Despite many Chinese being under five feet and only weighing 120 pounds, the Chinese impressed Crocker: â€Å"They couldn’t dig as much dirt with a single swing, but they worked methodically without talking or taking breaks...by the end of day one, [the Chinese] had covered as much distance as the all-white groups and the job was done more carefully† (Elish). Charles Crocker was recorded as saying that, â€Å"Wherever we put [the Chinese], we found them good,† as well as, â€Å"...they worked themselves into our favor to such an extent that if we found we were in a hurry for a job of work, it was better to put Chinese on at once† (American Experience: TV’s Most-Watched History Series). In other words, the Chinese proved themselves to be the most punctual and willing and diligent group. In American History: The Transcontinental Railroad , it is explained that the Chinese had the best habits. They always drank hot tea, which killed offShow MoreRelatedEssay on Nothing Like It in the World by Stephen E. Ambrose1210 Words   |  5 PagesNothing like it in the Word, by Stephen E.

The Implications of Astley

Question: Can Aldi Supermarkets is fully responsible for the damages suffered by Tamara. If no, with whom Aldi Supermarkets shares its liabilities? Answer: Relevant Law The law of negligence and its defenses are analyzed to resolve the concern arose. Duty of care, its breach and the damages suffered are the three basic ingredients which are must to be proved to hold any person liable under the law of negligence. The law of negligence is an old principle which makes every person imposed with an implied duty that he should conduct himself in such a manner so that because of his conduct no other person is affected negatively. But, this is a very generic definition and is vague. In Langridge v Levy (1837), the law of negligence was applied in Australia, but its basic principles were evolved in an English common law case, Donoghue v Stevenson (1932). The leading case has provided all the basic ingredients required to prove negligence. (Law, 2016) 1.The defendant is negligent provided he is under the obligation to provide care against all of his acts and inactions. Duty of care signifies that when the defendant is doing any activity or inactivity then it is his responsibility to make sure that no person is negatively affected by it and if there are chances of any harm then he must forgo with such activity and inactivity (Wyong Shire Council v Shirt[1980]). 2.This duty of car e only against his neighbors. His neighbors are those plaintiffs who are supposed to be affected by the activity or inactivity of the defendants. If the person is not in the zone in which the acts or inactions of defendant fall, then, such person is not the neighbor of the defendant. The neighbor is only such person who is very closes or connected with the defendant so that he is directly affected by the acts or omissions of the defendant (Burnie Port Authority v General Jones [1994]). The duty is against those acts or inactions the brunt of which is reasonably foreseeable and in such situation care must be undertaken by the defendant. If the brunt is not reasonably foreseeable then there is no duty (Sutherland Shire Council v Heyman [1985]. (Prue V, 2000)The defendant when fails to fulfill his duty then there is breach of the same. The breach resulted when what is desired from the defendant is not achieved. The level is not met when the degree and standard of care that is required is not achieved. The level varies but must be met by the defendant in order to avoid any liability of negligence. In Australian Safeway Stores Pty Ltd v. Zaluzna (1987) the standard of care that is expected is not met and is considered to have breach in his duty to provide care to the plaintiff. (N. L'Estrange, 1987) 1.The breach should have caused loss/injury/damage to the plaintiff. There must be some kind of disadvantage that must be caused to the plaintiff Naxakis v Western General Hospital (1999). (Treasury, 2002) 2.The damage so caused should be direct. If the damage is remote and cannot even be imagined by the defendant then he is not negligent. Also, the damage should be berceuse of defendant actions and inactions. But, even when all the elements are present, still, if the loss that is caused to the plaintiff is also the results of the contribution by the plaintiff along with the defendant, then, the defendant cannot be held answerable for the whole loss. But, his liability is reduced to the quantum of wrongful act undertaken by the plaintiff (Astley v Austrust Ltd (1999). This is the defense of contributory negligence. (A Freilich, 2000) Application To prove that the Aldi Supermarket is negligent, it is necessary for Tamara to prove all the elements of the law of negligence. 1.Aldi Supermarket is a store and is aware that it is visited by many customers. So, it has a duty in law to provide safe environment for shopping. Thus, there is a duty of care that is imposed upon the store in law. 2.This duty of care that is imposed upon the store is against all of its customers because all if its customers are sharing proximate relationship with the store. Tamara is one of the customers of the store, so, Aldi Supermarket has a duty to provide care to Tamara. This duty is against all reasonable foreseeable harm. Aldi Supermarket is aware that the aisle of the store must be kept clean and if the same is kept slippery then there are chances of fall outs. 1.The store has employed staff who insects the supermarket and cleans up the spillages in every forty minutes. Thus, it can be said that the store has tried to comply with its duty of care. But, the degree of care that is required, considering the fact that the store is continuously visited by customers, is not met. So, there is breach of duty of care. 2.The duty of care is breached because there was an ice cream near the aisle and Tamara slipped on the same and broke her back and which has resulted in the damages of $700,000. 3.The damages which are incurred is because of the breach of the store and the damage is not remote. So, the Aldi Supermarket is answerable to the losses of Tamara and is negligent in its action. But, the injury that is caused to Tamara is suffered by her because of her action also. Tamar was running very fast in order to grab her favorite chocolate. This has resulted in losing her balance and she slipped. If Tamara was walking in a decent manner then may be the injury might not have incurred. So, Tamara has also contributed to her loss. Thus, the store can rely on the defense of contributory negligence in order to reduce its liability. Conclusion So, the store has a duty of care which is not by it causing harm to Tamara, so, the store is negligent. But, the acts of Tamara ahs also resulted in her loss so, the store can take the defense of contributory negligence.

Iona Moon Essays (747 words) - Insular Art, Iona,

Iona Moon Iona Moon Over the years of my adolescence I personally have felt the need to run away at times. I have felt that in order for people to perceive me a certain way I must behave in a certain manner. It got to a point where I just did not care about anyone's opinion about myself but my own. In Melanie Rae Thon's novel, Iona Moon, the main character Iona thought in the same way as I did. At one point in her adolescence she felt that she needed to act a certain way so that people would like her. She also felt that running away from her problems was the best solution. However, in the end, she just did not care anymore. Iona Moon was a simple country girl. She lived in an isolated rural town of White Falls, Idaho. Her house was located in the country called the Kila Flats. She had three older brothers and lived with her mother and her father. She attended the public highschool located in town. Iona grew up as a very promiscuous girl. She had the notion that if she gave the boys what they wanted that they would like her more. The boys thought she was easy and none of the good ?catholic' girls would talk to her. In my opinion she probably grew up this way as a result of the constant molestations from her brothers when she was younger. At first she cared what the boys said about her. However, at one point in time she just did not care anymore. She just ignored what everyone said about her. As long as she still had her best friend Jeweldeen (who was also a country girl) by her side then everything was ok. Her promiscuous ways got her in trouble from time to time. She just did not care anymore. After her mother died, Iona became a different person. She never liked school but after the death of her mother she just did not even attend anymore. She failed her senior year and did not graduate with her class. She was tired of being a slave to her father and her brothers. She had much recent towards her brothers for treated her the way they did. Give her a nickel to strip for them and a quarter to sleep with her, and to top it all off they did not even thank her for the dinners that she made or the way she tended to the house. Iona was angry at her father. He witnessed how the boys would treat her and never said anything. Once in a while he would give them a little look and they would be quiet, but that was all. After her graduation she decided to pick up and go. She had no idea where she was going to go. She took all the grocery money and hitchhiked a ride. Along the ride she thought of many things. She thought of her best friend and she thought of how her brothers and her father were going to react to the fact that she had left with all the money. She thought about her mother the most. Everything her mother had taught her about life. Everything her mother had done to her while she was growing up. Nevertheless, she did not care. She did not write to them because she did not want to be found. She was running. Running away from all her problems, form all her misery. In her mind that was the best solution to everything. The theme to this novel is adolescence. Everyone struggles through adolescence. In adolescence people try to find themselves. They try to find out their purpose in life and why they are here. Most of all people have many inner conflicts. Iona Moon struggled greatly through adolescence. She struggled to find her true self. She mentality about life and about her self changed many times throughout the story. She thought she needed to act a certain way so people would like her. Being fake brought her happiness for a while but in the end it hurt her greatly. Even when she went out to live on her own she struggled.
