Abstract
This paper discusses the important duties of a school principal. The paper explains that the expanding number of duties principals must deal with include managerial and administrative tasks, hiring and retaining teachers, ensuring overall safety of schools, raising funds and ensuring state requirements are met.

From the Paper
"One of the primary challenges confronted by school principals is the ever-expanding number of duties that require a tremendous investment of time and effort. Apart from dealing with managerial and administrative tasks, school principals, in recent years, are also being trained to take on the position of instructional leaders.

Abstract
The common law assembly including tort, contract and unjust enrichment provide several remedies for a breach of an obligation or duty. This paper examines how the laws relating to fiduciary duties demand specific attention and discusses why they should be placed under a separate sub-category of the law. It attempts to show how the Courts desperately need to consider whether the concept should be a strictly unified one thereby making the categories highly limited, or if fiduciary duties are capable of arising in so many circumstances that a limited concept would not be utilitarian, if indeed socially acceptable.

From the Paper
"In 1992 the Law Commission conducted a report to examine whether English Law adequately protects the individuals to whom a fiduciary duty is owed and if privately enforceable fiduciary duties as opposed to mere regulations are stipulated sufficiently clear to practitioners as well as natural legal persons. Its findings were not surprising. It highlighted the vagueness of what constitutes a fiduciary relationship, and despite the categorisation of particular instances where a bona fide obligation arises, 'there has been no clear, universal test accepted in cases for classifying these particular relationships as fiduciary'. The common acceptance and nature of the five categories of fiduciary relationships, however, are not entirely defined nor closed; but is instead described as a 'flexible category' which extends the scope of obligations arising from fiduciary relationships."

Abstract
In the opening of this essay, the writer says the principal responsibility of a broadcast radio program director is to maximize profitability. Using this idea, the writer proposes the general duties and responsibilities required of a radio director. The final section is a description of the education and qualifications for that position.

From the Paper
"One of the crucial decisions the program director is required to make is the overall format of radio programming in terms of focusing on music (and if so, on what kind or kinds), talk radio (and again, what kind or kinds) based on an accurate understanding of the corresponding needs of advertisers and the listening public within the station's primary market (Paro, 2009). The program director must be able to coordinate the sales pitches and marketing strategy of the advertising sales department with the character, sentiments, political orientation, cultural focus, and the prevailing social circumstances in the marketplace. In that regard, a fully integrated conceptual approach to client negotiations is much more likely to be effective than isolated unit functions in which there is little connection between the program content and the specific marketing concept (Hall & Hall, 2000)."

Abstract
Subsidies and countervailing duties have a lot of importance where different countries are concerned. This is especially true of countries that are just developing. Third World development is becoming very important today, and many of the multilateral trade negotiations that are taking place are changing the prospects for these countries. It is important, therefore, to look at these trade negotiations and what they will do to the subsidies and countervailing duties for many of these countries. For purposes of this paper, the United States and Canada and any subsidies that they give are not examined. Instead, the focus is on countries that are in the Third World and that are just developing. The scope of the paper looks at these Third World countries and the multilateral trade negotiations that they deal with in order to help determine the prospects that they have for continued growth.

From the Paper
"Even though this seems somewhat unfair, it actually is not because many of these countries are still finding their way when it comes to trade agreements, subsidies, and countervailing duties. They must be allowed more freedom so that they are able to find ways to make use of many of the tariffs that they have and the subsidies that have not either been banned or restricted. This will help them to continue their goal of promoting development within their nations. It seems as though there may soon be further restrictions placed on them when multinational trade negotiations are looked at once again. In order to help avoid the problems that would come from this, the Third World countries should act now to exercise the autonomy that they currently have. If they do not, they may soon lose this autonomy and be even more restricted them they are now."

Abstract
This paper examines a hypothetical fact pattern involving the activities of the directors of an imaginary company Lopam Petroleum Company Limited. The actions are reviewed with respect to Company Ordinance Section 57B and relate common law. Each action of the directors is examined and a determination of whether the director in his actions violated his fiduciary duty to the company. The final portion of the paper is a case briefing of "Regal (Hastings) v. Gulliver", a seminal case in the standard of determining whether a director violated his fiduciary duty.

Abstract
The paper discusses how tort law appears to discriminate between different types of defendants such as public entities, rescuers, children, manufacturers, etc. when establishing a duty of care and to whom. The paper explains that this is because the law of torts is a specialized area of the law that seeks to account for damages in a civil setting that may occur because of a breach of that duty. Further, the paper notes that much of tort law has been developed randomly, many times to fill in gaps that exist in the law, and at other times, it is influenced by public policy. The paper explains that therefore, depending upon various factors, the duty of care can be high or non-existent depending upon the type of claimant and what type of duty of care a defendant breached.

From the Paper
"Ordinarily, vicarious liability of employers is predicated on the common law principle of respondeat superior, pursuant to which employers are responsible for harms caused by their employees by virtue of the employer's failure to properly supervise or train them (Halbert & Ingulli 2000). In addition, many states have established precedents imposing an affirmative duty on the part of employers to safeguard their employees, tenants, and the general public from criminal conduct perpetrated by their employees. Minnesota, in particular, has dealt with the same factual circumstances raised by the ABC Apartment case; California and several other states have specific statutes defining additional liability for negligence in hiring and in the retention of employees who are unfit or otherwise unsuitable for their positions. (Feliu & Johnson 2002)."

Abstract
This paper looks at Kant's use of deontological ethics - moral obligation, or duties that a person must perform to lead a peaceful existence. The author discusses the law of Traditional Duty Theory and problems with the theory.

From the Paper
"All duties to others are the most basic since this must follows the mandate of natural law that we are to be sociable. Towards God, we have a theoretical duty to know the existence and nature of God and a practical duty to worship God, both internally and externally.
Towards ourselves, we have duties of the soul which means developing one's skills and talents and duties of the body which means not neglecting our bodies through gluttony or drunkenness and not killing oneself.

Concerning duties towards others these are divided into absolute duties which are binding on people and conditional duties which are the result of contract between people. Absolute duties should be to avoid wronging others, treating people as equals and promoting the good of others. First of the rules is to keep one's promises."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Patterson (1996) states that since the time of Plato there has been the contention that those within society have a moral and obedience related duty to obey the law (p. 465). However, the paper discusses how Patterson (1996) further contends that this belief has been subjected to the scrutiny of duty and obeying the law when it does not interfere with duties that are considered more important than legal proclamations (p. 465).

From the Paper
"Political authority consists of a bundle of rights that are independent of any correlative obligation to obey the law. Patterson (1996) states that since the time of Plato there has been the contention that those within society have a moral and obedience related duty to obey the law (p. 465). However, Patterson (1996) further contends that this belief has been subjected to the scrutiny of duty and obeying the law when it does not interfere with duties that are considered more important than legal proclamations (p. 465). In other words, some philosophers have concluded that obeying the law is normally the..."

Abstract
This paper reviews William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and, in particular, examines how it is a play about an intellectual prince that ultimately demonstrates the limited value of the intellect and rationalization when there is a need to take a public action. It looks at how, by searching for the right role, Hamlet must play an avenger in order to verify the importance of intelligence in ruling a country. It discusses how it possible to contend that Hamlet's intelligence is what makes him unable to act as an effective protagonist, ruler, or son, and how, despite the sympathy his intelligence creates in the mind of a viewer, ultimately, Hamlet's reliance upon reflection reveals him as an over-educated prince, rather than a truly inspired leader.

From the Paper
"This can be seen in two of Hamlet's most famous speeches. "O, what a Rouge and Peasant Slave am I," he muses, after the departure of the Player-King, during the first half of the play. At this juncture of the play, Hamlet is "buying time" by pretending to be insane, and a troop of players has visited the Danish kingdom. After greeting the players and viewing a selection of their performance, Hamlet lambastes himself that he is not able to revenge his dead father. The actor pretending at grief is a more active participant in the drama, at that moment, than Hamlet, the "real person" next to him. However, after experiencing this revelation, Hamlet decides, not to take revenge but to engage in more intellectual activity in other words, to become involved in the setting and production of a play about a murder."
