Question: Is the difference between \'employee\', \'worker\' and \'self-employed\' persons made sufficiently clear in UK employment law?

Answer: The distinction between the notions of ‘employee’, ‘worker’ and ‘self-employed’ persons is not sufficiently clear in the UK employment law. This problem is due to: 1) lack of statutory guidance in differentiating those three terminologies; 2) judicial engineering through the common law and 3) the problems deriving from management practices. Despite this uncertainty, different legal imp......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: Evaluate the actions required to achieve health for children.

Answer: Children’s health or the lack of children’s health is a major issue for the world in its entirety.

(Book 4, Chapter 3, Page 99) This appears to be a very idealistic view of absolute h......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: Does language determine the way we think?

Answer: Many studies have been done to find out the thinking process in infants before they learn language and the research supports the potential possibility of thought without language. Tests suggest that, in fact, infants really can think, and indeed grasp rather abstract, important concepts. For instance, three to four month old babies can understand that an object occupies its own space and so one s......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: How valid is the argument that the environment is responsible for children’s\' early language development? (OU Course ED209, Child Development - TMA5, June 2007)

Answer: Various theoretical explanations have been proposed to explain how children acquire language - how they \"achieve the apparently insurmountable task\" (.p.165, B3). These fall into two broad paradigms: nativist and empiricist. The nativist position holds that the acquisition of language is primarily influenced by innate mechanisms and is not much affected by environmental factors (p.64 and p.165, ......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: Discuss lexical acquisition in terms of principles and constraints which have been argued to facilitate the acquisition of the lexicon.

Answer: Introduction - Children learn new words at an impressive speed. The rate of acquisition seems to increase exponentially during the first years of life: the exact figures vary from study to study, but Nelson (1973) showed that children could produce ten words by the age of 15 months; 50 words by the age of 20 months, and 186 words by the age of 24 months (Barrett 1995). Then, it stabilises, and chi......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: To what extent does a nativist perspective successfully explain children’s early language development?

Answer: Language development is the crucial part of the human cognitive nature, understanding language development is an important aspect to understand the base and to recall its various components of linguistics. It is impossible to overestimate the role of language in child development. At the end of infancy it takes communication between child and adult to a new level that boosts development enormously......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay

Question: (a) Identify and explain THREE differences between undue influence and economic duress. (b) Read the report on Williams V Bayley (1866). If a case with the same facts came before a court today could the father successfully rely on economic duress rather than undue influence?

Answer: For a legally binding contract to exist, parties must have acted on their own free will for them to be bound by the terms of the agreement. However in a scenario where by one of the parties are forced to make the contract by threats or undue pressure there by stifling this principle, the victim should not be bound by the contract. Economic duress is a common law doctrine developed from the concep......(short extract) to download the full answer, please Sign in or Register then make a payment or submit an essay
