Causality and Causation in Law
Causality and Causation in Law Jan Hellner Of all truths relating to phenomena, the most valuable to us are those which relate to the order of their succession. On a knowledge of these is founded every reasonable anticipation of future facts, and whatever power we have of influencing these facts to our advantage. John Stuart Mill, A System of Logic Aleksander Peczenik’s chief contribution to traditional legal science, apart from jurisprudence, is his monograph on “Causes and Damages” (1979). In this book he has analysed problems of causation with particular regard to Swedish tort law. It seems therefore an appropriate tribute to his work in legal science to continue the analysis of causation. In the following I shall discuss some questions, most of them pertaining to fields other than the law of torts, which deal with causation in a wide sense. These questions are: 1 ) What is the relation between causality and causation in law? 2) What does causation mean in legal contexts other than ascribing responsibility? 3) What is the role of the logic of conditions in the analysis of causation in law? Although the questions are far too complicated to be analysed fully in the present context, it seems worthwhile to draw attention to them. 1. Occasionally there is in one language a single word or expression for a concept that in another language is represented by either of two different words, which are not quite synonymous. This linguistic feature indicates that there are really two different concepts, which can be confused when the former of these languages is used. -

Soft Skills As Employability Skills: Fundamental Requirement for Entry-Level Jobs
Soft Skills as Employability Skills: Fundamental Requirement for Entry-level Jobs ~ Netra Bahadur Subedi1 Abstract In spite of the fact that the term ‘soft skills’ is new in our context, it has a wide range of implications and effects. Soft skills are intangible, nontechnical, personality-specific skills that determine one’s strengths as a leader, facilitator, mediator, and negotiator. Soft skills are contrasted to hard skills in a sense that hard skills are limited to specific area. It is to be noted that in the course of seeking an employment in the market, individual’s soft skills are as important as hard skills. It is found that person’s hard skills lead an individual to the entrance of job market, soft skills guarantee the job opportunity and further career growth. It is urgent that we have to instill our graduates with remarkable amount of soft skills for quick employment. It is always advisable that the companies select human resources with the best non-technical skills that are likely to be available in the labour market. It is further important to foster and develop the employees. Thus, these inter-sectional skills are really important for the promotion and enhancement of the organization. Owing to the same fact, this paper argues how soft skills as employability are fundamental requirement for entry-level Jobs. Key Words: Soft Skills, EQ, Civic Sense, Social Graces, Technical Skills Opening the Window Nowadays people are much concerned about soft skills. Though it is a new term in the academia, business houses and government offices, it has been a buzz word. -
Teaching Practice and Analytical Capacity Among Degree College Students – a Study
www.ijcrt.org © 2013 IJCRT | Volume 1, Issue 1 March 2013 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Teaching Practice and Analytical Capacity among Degree College Students – A Study *Dr. Ismail M Makandar, Associate Professor, Dept Of Sociology, SSA Govt First Grade College, Bellary. Abstract This paper attempts to study how teaching practice is the culminating point and bedrock upon which the student teacher builds analytical thinking capacity among Degree College Students. College students need to have analytical thinking skills to complete research and develop new knowledge and innovation by themselves. Concept mapping is an efficient tool for analytical thinking skill development. Teaching practice is an integral component of teacher training. It grants student teachers experience in the actual teaching and learning environment. focuses upon developing the analytical thinking skills of College students by using concept mapping. Analytical skill is the ability to deconstruct information into smaller categories in order to draw conclusions. Analytical skill consists of categories that include logical reasoning, critical thinking, communication, research, data analysis and creativity. Analytical skill is taught in contemporary education with the intention of fostering the appropriate practises for future professions. The professions that adopt analytical skill include educational institutions, public institutions, community organisations and industry. Richard J. Heuer Jr. explained that 'Thinking analytically is a skill like carpentry or driving a car. It can be taught, it can be learned, and it can improve with practice. But like many other skills, such as riding a bike, it is not learned by sitting in a classroom and being told how to do it. Analysts learn by doing.'. -

Driven by conflicting reports and data, the conversation shows no signs of abating. On the one hand, economic indicators commonly used to identify gaps point to problems limited to only certain occupations (like health occupations) and certain provinces (like Alberta) rather than to a general skills crisis. On the other hand, employers continue to report a mismatch between the skills they need in their workplaces and those possessed by job seekers, and to voice concern that the postsecondary system is not graduating students with the skills they need. This paper is the first of three on Canada’s skills gap. It outlines the conflicting views around the existence and extent of a divide between the skills postsecondary graduate possess and those employers want. -
