imposes imprison for attempts Negligence from to Defamation cause with It is generally agreed that it is difficult (some would say impossible) to formulate a meaningful definition of tort. Most 1_______ to do so concentrate either on the aims and functions of tort law, or on distinguishing it 2_______ other branches of law. There is a lot to be said 3_______ studying the nominate torts individually and then returning to the problem of a definition at the end!

In complex societies, there are a variety of competing and conflicting interests, and one aim of tort is to decide which of these interests should receive legal protection.

This is a tort which imposes a duty on one person not to assault or batter or falsely 6_______ another person. • 7_______. This is a tort which imposes a duty on one person not to injure the reputation of another person. • Private nuisance.

These are just a few examples of the many situations that may be governed by tort law and they serve to illustrate how difficult it is to define a branch of law that covers so many diverse activities.
It’s nice to have people agree, but youneed conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth. If everyone around you hassimilar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias. (偏颇)
Take a look at your own network. Do youcontacts share your point of view on most subjects? It yes, it’s time to shakethings up. As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in whichpeople will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes: Fromconfrontation comes brilliance.
It’s not easy for most people to activelyseek conflict. Many spend their lives trying to avoid arguments. There’s noneed to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do someself-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking. Youmay need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify yourblind spots.
