Question 4: Describe the Duty of Care provided for in section 28 of NEMA, and comment on whether it is an effective tool in the protection of the environment. You may not simply cut and paste from section 28 of NEMA, but must summarize in your own words what the duty requires, what its implications are and to whom it applies. Thereafter, you should set out in your own words possible strengths and weaknesses of the duty of care as provided for in section 28 of NEMA. The Duty of Care takes into regard everyone who has, could have or might in the future cause harm to the environment and keeps them responsible for their actions. This is done by having them take measures to prevent harm from occurring (or continuing). If there is no way to stop the harm from occurring, Duty of Care forces to reduce and remedy the harm to environment. It should be specifically noted that the Duty of Care act can be used retrospectively meaning if someone polluted years ago they can still be held responsible via duty of care (Paralegaladvice, n.d; South Africa, 1998:63). Duty of Care empowers competent authorities to lead offenders in taking steps to remediate harm to environment (Feris, 2006). …show more content…
These can be found both in section 28(3) and section 28(4). These sections simply state that depending on the activity, it’s degree and situation, “reasonable measure” can range from being to cease the activity to educating staff (South Africa, 1998:63-65). For instance, if a company is dumping all their waste directly into a river, it needs to be ceased immediately. However if they are dumping clean but lukewarm water into a cold river, they might be able to rather modify how their systems work to improve it. Another example is that they might not be sure what effect their activities have on the environment and as such they’d have to investigate
Person centred care means basing the care and support of a person around them. Looking at things from their perspective, promoting their beliefs, preference, likes and dislikes. They are involved in the development of their support plans, risk assessments and what they want to achieve. They determine what they want and how they want things doing. It promotes their individual needs and what is important to them. We listen to the individual and find out about their wishes and look at ways of carrying this out as safely as possible. We work with the individual, their families and others to empower the individual and to promote independence in their lives and ensure that the individual is supported to maintain their lives as they

...tained a streak of sustaining a strong society when suggesting their laws into the Criminal Justice System. Nonetheless, the recent proposal discussed on whether environmental harm should be criminalized has sparked controversy. There are many pros and cons that can be acknowledged in this case. One main thing is certain; the environment is very sacred to every human being and should be well cared for. Thus, there are many other techniques that can do this rather than it simply being placed in the Criminal Code. Civilians need to have a fair chance to deal with problems and as a whole; they can come together to help this environmental issue. Non-legal regulators can work together with society to better our world. Taking legal action would make things more complicated than need be when considering a law that has more negatives to our justice system than positives.
A health care directive is a legal document, based on personal values and beliefs, providing people with a sense of control and independence for their medical care. The purpose of a health care directive is to allow personal wishes on various treatments options to be met, when the individual is presented incapable. Since it is a legal document, health care professionals and family members have to abide with individual’s health care directive. Personally I value autonomy, independence, family, dignity, and selflessness. These core personal values allow me to reflect, fully comprehend and accept the consequences to the health care decisions I make for myself. In conclusion, the sections of the health care directive

D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.
What does ‘care’ mean? Care is the provision of what is necessary for your health, welfare and protection of someone or something.

A care worker has many responsibilities. For example, it is a care worker’s responsibility to treat each individual fairly and equally with care. This is because a care worker would have to help people who have difficulties doing everyday tasks like getting up out of bed, getting to different places around the home, getting dressed, using the facilities and on some occasions eating. Some clients in the home could have physical disabilities, learning disabilities or mental illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. A role that a care worker could have is spending quality time with the residents, talking to them and doing activities as a group. This will make the residents feel valued and cared for. Another role that a care worker could have would be to tend to a
We concern a lot on sustainability; however, we should not neglect the fact that a clean environment is also an important tool towards achieving environmental justice. Everybody has a right to clean air and clean water, nobody has a right to destroy and degrade the environment. A person
What is the Age Of Responsibility? If someone has the wisdom and experience of someone who has lived many lifetimes, should they be restricted by some arbitrary age? The answer is: no, they shouldn't. The argument in this day and time is if the age of responsibility is 18, 21, 25, or anything in between. But, what about there not being any one age of responsibility?
We all belong to the same world and all of us have the same responsibilities towards the world and its environment. This fact might be hard to digest, but if we continue to pollute the Earth at the current rate, all of the world’s ocean waters will become one-hundred-thirty percent acidic. This means that the ocean will be unable to sustain most of its marine life and only a few creatures will be able to survive in the water. A big population of people think that they do not or have few responsibilities towards the environment. People think that the governor of a country should take steps to help the environment. They leave it to scientists since they have the technology to prevent pollution, or that is what most people think. There are more responsibilities to the world each individual has than most of realize. The amount of negligence and ignorance of humans towards the Earth is taking a heavy toll.
