Albert Einstein is often quoted as having said that “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” There is no definitive evidence that Einstein ever said this. We do not know who really said it, but I like to imagine it was first said by an emergency manager.

After a disaster, how should we rebuild? Should we rebuild in floodplains? How about in areas that are continually hit by wildfires? How do we adapt to climate change? What kind of construction standards should we look at?

Choose a natural disaster such as a flood, hurricane, wildfire, or tornado. For your chosen disaster answer the following questions:

Should rebuilding be allowed?
Should there be any building restrictions or standards?
What infrastructure improvements should be made?
Is there any legislation you would recommend?
Should there be any adaptations for climate change?

Sample Solution

Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain.

• Punishment for Corruption

• A person convicted on a corruption offence shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $100,000/- or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years, or both, for each count of corruption.

• If it is proven that any matter or transaction is in relation to contract or a proposal for a contract with the government, the punishment would be a fine of $100,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 7 years or to both, for each count of corruption.

Consequences of Corruption

• Corruption has serious repercussions. If allowed to take root in society, it can lead to a breakdown in social order and lives are affected when ordinary people are prevented from receiving all the essential services that they are entitled to.
• It creates unfair competition and increases the cost of doing business. Every form of it is bad for economic growth and the reputation of an entire country can be tarnished.

CHEATING IN EXAM:-

Cheating in Exams. Cheating involves actual, intended, or attempted deception and/or dishonest action in relation to any academic work of the University. The University operates a zero tolerance policy in relation to cheating in examinations. People use various mechanisms to cheat like using digital watches, looking into other people’s paper, mobile phones, etc.

Many a times people involved in the education system also aid in cheating to their relatives or at the pretense of money. There are various reasons why students cheat as they are fed with wrong ideas about success, peer pressure, fear of getting less marks, lack of fear for the authority. Etc. At Universities also cheating is a common practice. It is often accompanied by violence. Students carry pistols or knives with them and cheat openly. They scare the invigilator away by terrorizing him with the gun.
