Here is your essay on Volleyball !Volleyball is a team game which has six players that play on either side of the net. A set of rules decide the score that each team is able to make against the other team. The game begins with a player from one team throwing the ball using hand or arm over the net so that the opposite team can receive it on their court.The basic rule is to prevent the received ball from hitting the ground so that it can be thrown back to the other team with up to 3 touches from the team.

We have seen that Antoine Jullien started the study of comparative education. But now the scope of comparative education has been further enlarged.Within comparative education, we now make an analysis of educational systems of various countries in order to understand their educational problems with a view to find out solutions of one’s own educational problems.In this attempt, we also try to understand the philosophical background of the country concerned, as the same influences the educational system. There are certain foundations of education which are universal. When we talk of the philosophical background, it implies that we have to make a study of the same impartially. Image Source : maestrobytumlare.com ADVERTISEMENTS: We have already noted that political, cultural, social, religious and economic conditions influence the educational system of a country. Therefore,…

The Indian Constitution has been much inspired by the British constitutional practice. Our long association with the British administration has made us to adopt parliamentary democracy and rule of law in our constitutional system. The influence of the Government of India Act, 1935 on our present Constitution is quite far-reaching. This Act was passed by the British Government in 1935 and it provided a parliamentary and federal system in India. The Constitution borrowed the federal feature and the provision of emergency from the Government of India Act, 1935. ADVERTISEMENTS: A few critics went to the extent of saying that the present Constitution of India is a “glorified version of the Government of India Act, 1935”. However, this criticism is not justified. The 1935 Act contained various arbitrary provisions. There are…

The division of powers between central and regional governments involves three consequences. First, the arrangement must be embodied in a written constitution, secondly, the constitution must be rigid, and, finally, the presence of a federal Court.1. A Written Constitution: ADVERTISEMENTS: For a federal government the Constitution must almost necessarily be a written Constitution which defines the relation between the Central government and the regional governments, marks out the sphere of each, and is paramount over the Constitutions of the regional governments, if each component part of the union has its own separate Constitution.“To base an arrangement of this kind”, writes Dicey, “upon understandings or conventions would be certain to generate misunderstandings and disagreements.” Image Source: ichef.bbci.co.ukThe articles of the treaty, or in other words of the constitution, must, therefore, be…

Capital punishment, also called as the death penalty, is the putting to death of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for crimes that are listed as capital offenses.It is a cruel form of punishment which has been abolished in many countries. It is a brutal, inhuman, out-of-date concept that is carried out in the name of justice by a so- called civilized society. ADVERTISEMENTS: The death penalty exercises the most primal instinct to kill and extract revenge. While it claims to be an upright alternative for dealing with convicted criminals, it is in reality, hypocritical and cruel.It’s a paradox-the very society that loathes the act of murdering will resort to righteously murdering the criminal who committed the murder. Image Source: cdcr.ca.govThere are various kinds of capital punishment prevalent.…

Article 22 of the Constitution provides preventive detention laws. The object of preventive detention is to prevent a person from committing a crime and not to punish him as is done under punitive detention. Image Source: 02varvara.files.wordpress.comPreventive detention has not been unknown in other democratic countries like England and Canada but their recourse has been had to it only in war time. In A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras, AIR 1950 S.C. 27, the Supreme Court had expressed the view that a detent could not claim the freedom guaranteed by Article 19(l)(d) If it was infringed by his detention.
