What is the role of citizens in china?
Recently, some (very few) local elections have been held in rural China, but the kind of citizen participation we see in democracies is simply not allowed in most of the PRC.
There have been more and more citizen protests in China, which many scholars take as evidence that the Communist government is beginning to open up (democratize). Some examples include rallies by families of victims of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, and more recently in the viral anti-censorship campaign 'grass mud horse' on the web. Some scholars, such as Kenneth Lieberthal, have argued that, while the Communists do not allow citizens to participate directly in governement, they Party keeps very close tabs on public opinion, tending to do what the people want, if slowly. Any changes for the people seem to be primarily designed to keep the Communist Party in power.
What did the Universal Declaration of Human Rights mean?
In the past societies treated people very baldy, there was no such thing as universal suffrage, governments were elitist and tyrannical and slavery was a common practice the world over.
After centuries of campaigning and with the support of the major world religions, eventually a charter of what humans should expect of each other and the societies in which they live was drawn up and agreed by all nations.
This charter is called:- "The Universal Declaration of Human Rites" (see related links below).
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a world-wide, international declaration between the Member States of the United Nations, proclaiming their views on human rights.
-----------------------
Societies are however beginning to see the rites given under the declaration as a little one sided, and many now feel that while the declaration is fine in what it espouses, what is also needed is a balancing declaration of human responsibilities because the two go hand in hand. This would enable courts to balance the application of rites against an individuals discharge of their responsibilities.

What are facts about the case of city equitable fire insurance co ltd 1925?
Facts:
- A profitable company suffered major losses as a result of some bad investment decisions.
- Trustee in bankruptcy brought action against the directors and auditors alleging negligence and breach of duty.
Issue: What is the common law standard of care for directors and officers?
Held: Objective standard, subjectively applied.
Reasoning:
- The duties of a director depend on the nature of the co's business and the manner in which the co's work is distributed btwn the directors and other officials [i.e., the size of the corp].
- In discharging these duties, he must exercise some degree of skill and diligence; he must take reasonable care.
However;
o A director need not exhibit a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience, i.e. directors are not liable for mere errors of judgment;
o A director is not bound to give continuous attention to the affairs of his company - he is not bound to attend all meetings but rather must only attend when he is reasonably able to do so;
o In respect of all duties properly left to another official, the director, unless there are grounds for suspicion (i.e. as to the person's integrity, skill or competence), is justified in trusting that official to perform such duties honestly.
Rule:
- Directors' duty of care → standard is reasonable person given the individual director's knowledge and experience.
- Director not bound to give his full time to the job; must only attend meetings when reasonably able to do so.
- Director is justified in relying on documents prepared by/advice of others in absence of grounds for suspicion.

Is international law really law?
International law, at least that contained in treaties, is not actual law. Depending on where you're from, it may have a different position in the hierarchy of norms though (i.e. the 'ranking' of the law). Also, international law is generally much more difficult to enforce than national law. Finally, the application of international law is often very much dependent on the political climate. For instance, whether a UN security council resolution has any practical effect on a country upon which sanctions are imposed depends entirely on whether the members of the UN are willing to actively impose them.
