Arbitration Agreement

BY ISAAC, OKORONKWO . C. HEM/1137 ABSTRACT This paper seeks to look into the materialisations concerning arbitrament harmony under the arbitrement and Conciliation Act (ACA). It identifies the categories, forms, parties and foregrounds of the arbitrament stipulation. It also examines the enforcement of an arbitrament contract. This paper reveals that arbitration is a major regard as being the most flexible way of settling strife. Thus, it was suggested that arbitration agreement is a alert component of an arbitration minutes. 1. 0INTRODUCTIONArbitration has continued to chief(prenominal)tain the lead as the preferable mechanism for resolution of municipal and international business disputes in the Nigerian legal system. An arbitration agreement means a unpaid agreement to deal to arbitration innovate or incoming disputes, whether contractual or not. It is hold on that pointfore, that a claim in tort or fraud whitethorn be the subject affaire of an arbitration agreement (Udechukwu, 2008). An arbitration agreement can be included in the original or be in the form of a separate agreement, either at the time of the contract or subsequently.Therefore, even in the absence of an original integrated arbitration clause the parties can still break up to settle a presently existing dispute by arbitration. The arbitration agreement is the document, which is norm everyy in writing containing details about the reference of the disputes for resolution by the arbitrators. It is an agreement on paper containing study signed by the parties containing and providing records of the arbitration agreement (Oyegbile, 2000). It is a very important document guiding the arrive process of arbitration.It also includes each reference in a contract to a document containing an arbitration clause which constitutes an arbitration agreement if much(prenominal) contract is in writing and the reference is much(prenominal) as to make that clause part of the contract . Unless a contrary intention is evinceed in the arbitration agreement, it sh all(prenominal) be irrevocable except- i. By agreement of the parties ii. By leave of the court or a assay iii. level off, the occurrence of death of either of the parties does not automatically revoke the arbitration agreement.Rather, it shall be enforceable by or against the personal representatives of the deceased. In the past, arbitration agreement could be in oral only when the present arbitration act only recognized written agreement to arbitrate. The implication of this is that only written agreements argon enforceable by the courts or Judge. 1. 1AIM AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this work is to provide information on arbitration agreement under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act (ACA) CAP A18 2004.To achieve the above aim, the specific objectives are to * delineate the categories of arbitration agreement * Examine the enforcement of the arbitration agreement * Identify parties to the arbitrati on agreements * Identify the major highlight of Arbitration and Conciliation Act (ACA). 2. 0LITERATURE REVIEW 2. 1CATEGORIES OF arbitration AGREEMENTS There are two basic types of agreement 1 the arbitration clause and 2 the submission agreement.An arbitration clause looks to the future, whereas a submission agreement looks to the past. The first, which is most common, is usually contained in the principal agreement between the parties and is an agreement to submit future disputes to arbitration. The second is an agreement to submit existing disputes to arbitration. Arbitration clauses are usually short, whilst submission agreements are usually long. This is not because of any detail legal requirement. It is simply a reflection of the practicalities of the situation.An arbitration clause that deals with disputes which may arise in the future does not usually go into much detail, since it is not known what kind of disputes will arise and how they should outmatch be handled. Inde ed, although the parties to a contract may agree to an arbitration clause, they hope that there will be no need to invoke it. Usually they insert a short model clause, recommended by an arbitral institution, as a formality. By contrast, a submission agreement deals with a dispute that has in fact already arisen and so it can be tailored to fit precisely the circumstances of the case.In addition to indicating the dwelling house of arbitration and the substantive law, it generally names the arbitrators, sets out the liaisons in dispute and even, if thought appropriate, provides for exchange of written submissions and former(a) procedure matters. 2. 2ENFORCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS Nigerian Courts hasten adopted a positive approach to the enforcement of arbitration agreements. A review of the decided cases shows a general recognition by Nigerian Courts of arbitration as a good and valid alternative dispute resolution mechanism. In C. N.ONUSELOGU ENT. LTD. V. AFRIBANK (NIG. ) LTD, the Court held that arbitral minutes are a recognised means of resolving disputes and should not be taken lightly by both counsel and parties. However, there moldiness be an agreement to arbitrate, which is a voluntary submission to arbitration. Where there is an arbitration clause in a contract that is the subject matter of Court proceedings and a party to the Court proceedings promptly raises the issue of an arbitration clause, the Courts will order a hinderance of proceedings and refer the parties to arbitration.SECTIONS 6(3) and 21 of the Lagos State Arbitration Law 2009, which em military groups the Court to harmonize meantime orders or reliefs to preserve the res or rights of parties pending arbitration. Although the ACA in section 13 gives the arbitral tribunal spot to make interim orders of preservation before or during arbitral proceedings, it does not expressly confer the power of preservative orders on the Court and Section 34 of the ACA limits the Courts po wer of intervention in arbitration to the express provisions of the ACA.The usefulness of section 6(3) of the Lagos State Arbitration Law 2009 is seen when there is an urgent need for interim preservative orders and the arbitral tribunal is yet to be constituted. In this regard, such applications find no figure backing under the ACA and have always been brought under the Rules of Court and under the Courts organic jurisdiction to grant interim orders. However, in AFRIBANK NIGERIA PLC V HACO, the Court granted interim relief and tell the parties to arbitrate under the provisions of ACA.Upon the publication of the award the parties returned to the Court for its enforcement as judgment of the Court. The Courts in Nigeria are often inclined to uphold the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of the ACA provided the necessary conditions are met. A extend case in point is the case of MINAJ SYSTEMS LTD. V. GLOBAL PLUS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS LTD. & 5 ORS, in this case, the Claimant instituted a Court action in breach of the arbitration agreement in the main contract and on the Defendants application, the Court granted an order staying proceedings in the interim for 30 days pending arbitration.In NIGER PROGRESS LTD. V. N. E. I. CORP. , the Supreme Court followed section 5 of the ACA which gives the Court the jurisdiction to stay proceedings where there is an arbitration agreement. In the owners of the MV LUPEX V. NIGERIAN OVERSEAS CHARTERING & SHIPPING LTD, the Supreme Court held that it was an nuisance of the Court process for the respondent to institute a fresh suit in Nigeria against the appellant for the same(p) dispute during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings in capital of the United Kingdom. In AKPAJI V.UDEMBA, the Court held that where a defendant fails to raise the issue of an arbitration clause and rely on same at the early stage of the proceeding but takes positive steps in the action, he would be deemed to have waived his right under the arbitration clause. 2. 3THE PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT The parties to a contract must have legal cleverness to enter into that contract, otherwise it is invalid. The condition is no different if the contract in question happens to be an arbitration agreement.The general rule is that any natural or legal person who has the capacity to enter into a valid contract has the capacity to enter into an arbitration agreement. Accordingly, the parties to such agreements include individuals, as well as partnerships, corporations, states and state agencies. If an arbitration agreement is entered into by a party who does not have the capacity to do so, (the law where applicable) may be invoked either at the beginning or at the end of the arbitral process. If it is invoked at the eginning of the process, the party requesting for it would await the competent court to stop the arbitration, on the basis that the arbitration agreement is zipper and void. Where the validity of the arbitration agreeme nt is raised at the end of the arbitration process, the requesting party would ask that the competent court to protest the recognition and enforcement of such an award, on the grounds that one of the parties to the arbitration agreement is under some imbecility under the applicable law. 3. 0MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ARBITRATION ACT a) The Arbitration Clause The Arbitration and Conciliation Act (ACA) CAP.A18 2004 mandates that all arbitration agreements must be in writing and signed by the parties, in an exchange of letters, telex, telegram or other means of communication or point of claim or defence. In Nigeria, arbitration clauses are irrevocable except by the leave of court or mutual agreement of parties. Even where parties had no prior agreement, with a submission agreement, parties may still submit to arbitration b) Subject-matter Arbitrability The ACA does not discipline any particular subject matter that may not be referred to arbitration.The question of whether or not a dis pute is arbitrable has therefore been left at the discretion of the Courts. In ARAB REPUBLIC V. OGUNWALE(2002) 9 NWLR (PART 771) 127,the Court of Appeal held that the test for determining whether a dispute is arbitrable or not is that the dispute or difference must necessarily arise from the clause contained in the agreement. However not all disputes are necessarily arbitrable c) Binding Nature The ACA5 provides that every arbitration award in Nigeria shall be binding on the parties.This is to preclude a recalcitrant party from preventing a successful party from enjoying the fruits of his judgment. d) outlet of Arbitrators In Nigeria, the number of arbitrators is either one or three. The parties to an arbitration agreement may mold their preferred numbers of arbitrators to be appointed under the agreement, but where no such determination is made, the number of arbitrators shall be deemed to be three. e) Challenge of an arbitrator Parties may determine the procedure to be followed in challenging an arbitrator. Where no such procedure is determined a party who intends to challenge an arbitrator shall, within ifteen days of go aware of the constitution of the arbitral Tribunal or becoming aware of any of the grounds, send to the arbitral Tribunal a written statement of the reasons for the challenge. f) Preservative Orders The provisions of the ACA cloths the members of a Tribunal with the requisite powers to grant preservative orders during an arbitration reference. These orders however do not include granting injunctions etc. The Act provides that in such circumstance, the Tribunal can remit that portion of the reference to a proper court for the grant of such injunctive relief. ) Language to be used in Arbitral proceedings In Nigeria, the parties may, by agreement determine the language or languages to be used in the arbitral proceedings. But where they do not do so, the arbitral Tribunal shall determine the language to be used bearing in mind the relevant c ircumstances of the case. h) Legal Representation In Nigeria, the parties to an arbitral proceeding may appear for themselves or be represented or assisted by a legal practitioner of their choice. i) The Award An Award may be interim, interlocutory, or final. Any award made in Nigeria must adhere to the following * It must be in writing It must be signed by all the arbitrators (if they are more than one) * It must be delivered with a reason (except where parties agree otherwise) * The place where the Award was made must be stated on the award. j) The enforcement of an Award An arbitral award shall, irrespective of the country in which it is made, be recognised as binding on the parties. This is made possible by the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcements) Act, Cap 152, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, which makes extraneous arbitral awards registerable in Nigerian Courts if at the date of registration it could be enforced by death penalty in Nigeria. . 1THE DOCTRINE SEPA RABILITY It is also known as the doctrine or principle of autonomy or independence of the arbitration clause. Separability means the arbitrability clause in a contract is considered to be separate from the main contract of which it forms part and as such, survives the termination of that contract. It noteworthy to mention that arbitration agreement can be in form of an arbitration clause in a contract or in a separate agreement addressing disputes that have already arisen.The doctrine of separability is most relevant to arbitration clause in a contract an underlying contract. At the outset it must be recognised that this doctrine is inextricably linked with the doctrine of kompetence-kompetence which empowers the arbitrator to decide his own jurisdiction in the first instance. While kompetence-kompetence empowers the arbitration tribunal to decide on its own jurisdiction, the doctrine of separability affects the outcome of this decision.The doctrine of separability is provided for u nder Section 12(2) of ACA For purposes of arm (1) of this section, an arbitration clause which forms part of a contract shall be treated as an agreement fencesitter of the other terms of the contract and a decision by the arbitral tribunal that the contract is null and void shall not entail ipso jure the validity of the arbitration clause. For arbitral tribunals whose seat is in Nigeria (including under internal arbitration) the source of this doctrine is article 12(2) of ACA quoted above which is a mandatory provision.Parties cannot therefore as a matter of contract, derogate from this provision and agree otherwise. Finally, separability thus ensures that if, for example one party claims that there has been a total breach of contract by the other, the contract is not destroyed for all purposes. Instead It survives for the purpose of amount the claims arising out of the breach, and the arbitration clause survives for determining the mode of their settlement. The purposes of the contract have failed, but the arbitration clause is not one of the purposes of the contract. 4. 0DATA AND METHODIn bid to gather information for this study, the secondary source of data collection was utilized, which includes journals, textbooks and other relevant document from the internet (web sites and e-library). 5. 0CONCLUSION The importance of the arbitration agreement is imperative and vital to the success of an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration agreement represents the wishes of the parties to submit future dispute to arbitration while submission clause attends to disputes that have already arisen. REFERENCES ACA. (2004).

Human Development Paper Essay

The purport span perspective of human development is made up of different theories of how a human develops from accept to death. Though there are many theories to show this there are only three that lift out explain human growth and development through the human life span. They are Psychoanal retentiveytic Theory, fond Learning Theory, and Cognitive scheme. psychoanalytic theory was originally develop by Sigmund Freud, who theorized that development occurred in fin coiffes. The stages were characterized by intimate pleasure on a particular part of the body during each stage. The stages consisted of oral, anal, phallic, latency, and venereal stage. The oral stages was thought to happen between birt-1year which consist of sensual pleasures of the lips, tongue, and gums, where baby are stimulated when feeding. The anal stage is thought to take address during 1-3 years. This consisted of sensual pleasure from the anus where babies are toilet trained.The phallic stage happens bet ween years three trough six in which the sensual pleasure is the penis and girls love why they dont have one. Latency is from six to eleven years in which its not considered a stage really but sexual need and desires have not drop by the wayside make so the barbarian focuses on school and other things. Genital stage is thought to run in adolescents and carry on through the adulthood life. In this stage the child make up ones mindks out sexual pleasure and satisfaction. There are many environmental factors erect effect theses stages of development. If the child lives in a third world country they may not have access to food and provisions as easily as other countries children do. This can affect how the child will trust others and whether or not the child will remain in a mode of survival instinct.The second theory is genial Learning Theory which was formed by AlbertBandura. Albert Bandura theorized that humans learn by observe other people. This theory suggest that we model ourselves after the people we observe. Though perception of what is witnessed can be interpreted differently. environs factors such as an abusive home environment could effect on how a child deals with aggression if a child witnesses a father hitting their mother they might in turn see themselves as their father and show more aggression towards others, or be very passive in-your-face like the mother. As said earlier each child has their own interpretation of what they observe.The most famed theorist for Cognitive theory was Jean Piaget. The theory was believed that thought shaped are attitude, beliefs, and behaviors. James Piaget formed four stages which describe how human development occurs and changes with thought. The four stages are Sensorimotor, Pre useable, Concrete Operational, and Formal operational. Sensorimotor takes place between birth and 2 years of age. In this stage the child develops their motor abilities and senses to better run across the world around them. The preoperational stage takes place between the ages of two and six years of age. During this stage the child thinks magically or egocentric causing the child to view the world from their own perspective.The concrete operational stage take place between the ages of six to eleven years of age. During this stage children apply perspicuous operations to interpret their experiences. Their thinking is limited to what they can see, hear, feel and experience. Formal operational takes place from 12 years through adulthood. During this stage the adolescents and adults think about abstracts and hypothesis. During the different stages environmental effects can switch for instance a vacuum could be a dragon to a child in the preoperational stage.In conclusion the three stages that influence the life span of Human growth and development are Psychoanalytic Theory, Social Learning Theory, and Cognitive theory. Each one shows different views on how human development can take place. Each one has uni que environmental aspects that can affect the growth and development of a human. Through these theories one can look back through someones development and experience what was effective in helping healthy development and what was ineffective or should be avoided to prevent unhealthful development.

Church Leadership and Ministry Evaluation Paper

For this paper, I had the honor of evaluating Minister Anthony Thornton of Committed to Christ International Ministries, Milwaukee WI. bandage in his archeozoic 40s, Minister Thorntons conversion came well-nigh when he was incarcerated, due to the consequences of animateness a living addicted to drugs and alcohol. During a prison ministry visit, he and more other inmates were able to apportion the word of perfection. After a couple of sessions with the pastor of Committed to Christ International Ministries, Minister Thornton acquire Christ into his life.To daytime Minister Thornton has acquired a Masters degree in Biblical Theology, and is currently teaching Sunday school, along with the Associates degree program, in Basic Bible Information. He is liable for overseeing 20-30 students or congregation members ranging in ages from 16 years and up. Minister Thornton has held this position in the church for many years now, and has significantly reaped the fruits of his labor. H e is loved and respected by his peers, and is sought after by his leaders for uncanny wisdom.He expressed that he lives and breathes (2 herds grass 215)Study to show thyself approved, a surveyman inquire not be ashamed, regenerately dividing the word of law. Minister Thornton is dedicated to spreading the credo of Christ his swear is to win souls. I met Minister at Applebees where he was outrageed to be interviewed for my class assignment. Questions atomic number 18 as follows 1. Would you say that your congregation (or the people within your particular department or area of ministry) is reenforcement Out the Mind of Christ (i.e. Unity, Humility, Selflessness) as they interact, serve, and rector of religion to/with each other? How specific anyy do you as a ministry leader teach, cultivate, and maintain The Mind of Christ in your area of ministry? It is a serve in progress. When new converts come in, they are at different levels in their spiritual walk. For these indiv iduals, the Mind of Christ has to be learned. First, by seeing that the ministry leaders are a living example of Christ Jesus, and second, through His teachings.They consent to tempt a heart transplant if you leave, and then an attitude adjustment. there are some who receive well, and there are some who survive stagnant or complacent. Therefore, my centerpiece for teaching is the Word of paragon, which focuses on the humanity of our Lord and Savior. Its to show how He suffered humility through the same sadnesss that we render and how He exhibited selflessness during his ministry. More important, to instruct us in being united with one another as one body in Christ.A person cannot save themself, they go to be led to Christ, and Christ saves. (Philippians 25) says, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. 2. Would you consider yourself a weakened Healer? Also, would you please share an example where you realise ministered to a person who is/was wounded in the same manner that you once were? (cf. II Corinthians 13-5) Absolutely To know annoyance is to learn how to heal. Having lived a life of great trial and suffering due to my drug and alcohol abuse, I can discern by the grace and mercy of divinity fudge when someone needs help.By the power of the Holy life sentence I turn in acquired the ability to get compensate there with another sufferer, and show them how to come out. Healing is a spiritual gift. When ministering to the wounded, we must be willing to reveal our wounds to the doubters in order that they may believe, and be healed. (Philippians 129) comes to mind, it says, For unto you it is attached in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, only if also to suffer for his sake. The neighborhood I grew up in was the same place of my downfall. There was a close friend who lived that life with me, who was patently hurting.I explained to him that my fall was a result of the sin in my life, and it tried to meditat e me out, by forcing me to feel the pain of guilt and shame for what I did. For a moment I had to stop, and hold back the tears of well-educated that by the grace of God there once goes I. It humbled me. I told my friend that he in like manner can share the same saving grace. I told him that if he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, he can be delivered just like I was. Moreover, I reminded him that we both were cut from the same cloth, and I was no better than he was.This gift of salvation is just as much his, as it is mine. 3. How specifically does the Holy Spirit help guide you as you lead/serve in your ministry? Also, can you progress a specific example of how you were able to clear recognize that the Holy Spirit was helping/ channelize you in dealing with a particular situation and/or closing while in your ministry? What advice would you give me that, if I obeyed, would assure me that I would be able to be guided by the Holy Spirit in my life and/or ministry? Because He is a helper and not a hinderer.He is my comforter when I am unsure of how to carry on. He helps me to pray accurately, and effectively. He gives me utterance in a row that only God recognizes, thus bypassing my doubtful mind and lack of understanding. When I allow Him, He gives me the oral communication I speak, choices I make, who I will marry, and how I make, and spend my money. many a(prenominal) scriptures come to mind that speaks clearly about direction. One in specific, (Romans 814) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.It was by the power of the Holy Spirit that I made the conscious decision to surrender my life to Christ. There was a witnessing time where the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to testify the truth of Gods word to a family member who considered himself to be an atheist. I prayed that the Spirit give me the right words, He did, and a divine appointment took place. It changed this individuals life. Today he is spreading the gospel of J esus Christ. I advise anyone I come in contact with to always be blossom to hearing and obeying the Spirit/Word of God, and you cannot go wrong.4. Do you have a personal philosophy (i. e. an concur upon plan of action/policy/understood protocol) of how/when/where you confront sin in the lives of 1) co-ministers/co-leaders in your ministry, and 2) people to whom you minister? If so, what is it? How did you come to this philosophy? If not, do you see a need for such a philosophy? why or Why not? My protocol is to constantly stay on the path that Jesus took. I dont condemn or attack the person for the sin, nor do I ignore it. For God hath not given us a spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 17)I show them where there is no judgment. I allow them to see that they are struggling with this affliction that causes pain, and it keeps them bound. Many are our afflictions. I have to approach in love, and still confront the sin take on. It is my responsi bility to win the belialways from a sinful life, to a life of righteousness. More important, to continue to be mindful of bringing correction in love. 5. Can I perform a little ministry screen on you? (Remember This question is taken from the section within chapter 25 entitled Recalling Encounters with God) a.Can you recall for me what you specifically did (i. e. tasks performed, people you talked to, the number of hours of service) on any individual day in your ministry approximately six weeks past? About six weeks ago, I was on a 21 day intercessory prayer without ceasing, for rampant gasolene violence to end in our community. In a matter of less than six months, we experience a multitude of lives lost due to gun violence. The lives taken were nighly young men between the ages of 16, and 25, and it was create great trauma to our city.b.Can you recall any time in the past that you were either so moved by hearing a sermon, reading a bible verse, hearing a witness of a someones salvation that made such an impact upon your life that you still have a vivid recollection of the event today? How long ago did that spiritual event take place? God inhabits the praises of His people. What really holds near to my heart is when our music ministry singed How Great is Our God. The part where it says, all will see how great is our God. I thank Him that all will be able to one day see how great He is. Especially for the doubters.Through this song, the Holy Spirit constantly affirms that He is the name supra all names. Our music ministry usually sing about one half hour before service, but this particular evening, people all over the church was moved by the spirit of God. Over 50 people gave their life to Christ that night. c. Could you briefly describe for me how your daily Quiet time with God or your Communion time with God or Your Devotion time with God usually goes? I have a life that can be quite kaotic sometimes. However, my quiet time with God is mostly during t he early morning hours 3-4 am.I go to my secret place for lengthy prayer. Then, I read and study Gods word for as long as the Holy Spirit keeps me. I journal what speaks to me from God, and what I have learned. This is how I draw closer to God. It is my time to sit at His feet, a time I delight in, and truly enjoy. Again reflecting on my favorite verse, (2 Tim 215). 6. As a minister, are you ever tempted to become competitive with either a fellow minister or a neighboring ministry or begrudge the success or resources of other ministers and/or ministries? How do you overcome this temptation in your life if/when it ever comes up in your heart?What advice would you give me to make sure I remain content with what God specifically has for me in my own life and/or ministry? My heart is so willing, but my flesh is weak. I have always been a competitive person. I believed in being number one at everything I pursue. Whether it was winning in a foot race, or drinking the most alcohol. There is a position for Associate Pastor available myself and one other member are the only candidates. There is a series of tests/requirements that we need to adhere to, and it rears up the competiveness in me.My flesh says win at all cost, but my spirit says let the will of God be done. I know that the Word of God is my sword. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin (Hebrews 415). We are all members of the body, and we each have a very important role. I advise anyone with this mindset to remain at the foot of the cross and always stay prayerful, and the spirit of God will show you the way. 7.

Although there is no particular data collection technique which can symbolized as ideal for every situation, there be a variety of data collection techniques that can be considered for existence used. Data in social sciences are attained in either fo rmal or informal settings and evolves verbal (oral and written) or non-verbal acts or responses. The combination of the two types of responses results in the four major forms of data collection. These being observational methods check up on research secondary data analysis qualitative research, Punch (2005).Different methodologies like surveys, field observations, interviews are being used in Social research studies. Such studies are often conducted through a combination of data collection techniques to ensure a maximum validity of the data collected. The method selected depends on the resources available and the nature of the phenomenon under investigation. However, there had never been a consensus on the best technique or method that can be termed as scientific. Malcolm (1996) In this respect, the motive behind the concern with the attempt to commit the scientific method is that as Malcolm points out most philosophers of science have argued that method used is the solo guarante e that knowledge obtained is valid, reliable and thus scientific. By employing the correct methods, the scientist may be sure that their findings are true, repeatable and generalisable.Social research is defined by Malcolm (1996) as the process of investigation that defines something as being research, rather than being driven by more abstract concerns. While he describes research as a methodical investigations into a subject or problem.

Smoke alarms Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Smoke alarms - rise ExampleThere is the need to look for ways of preventing and reducing the damages and deaths caused by fires in our homes. A smoke alarm is a device that puke second in this fight by spy the presence of smoke. The debate has however been on whether or not homeowners should raise these devices. Homeowners should be required to install smoke alarms because they can save lives, help in protecting property, and the corrupt of smoke alarms and reducing fires helps progress the economy. Discussion There a number of arguments against the use of smoke alarms in homes. First, it has been argued that many of the fire detectors in the market today are ineffective and are near useless. In an article written by Richard Patton (2010), the author argues that more or less of the deaths caused by fires are due to the inability of existing smoke alarms to relay alarms. For instance, he states that the ionization fire detector that has been marketed for more than forty long t ime is defective and unreliable (Patton, 6). He argues that most of the smoke alarms in the market today endanger the lives of the users, and therefore should not be promoted for use in homes. He backs this demand by quoting a report by Gordon Vickery prepared in 1980 in which 50 million detectors were placed in buildings across America in a period of two years yet the fire loss and death rate went up in the same period (Patton, 6). However, Pattons claim is not sufficiently convincing. Although some of the alarms in the market today might be ineffective, the resultant lies in designing better alarms that have a better response. Furthermore, the study he is quoting to support this claim was conducted more than 30 years ago and it is likely that improvements have been made on these alarms. A tie in argument against the use of these alarms has been on the health risks they pose. In an article titled the Potential Hazard of Ionizing shaft in Smoke Detectors (2005) by Rosalie Bertel l, the author states that ionizing smoke detectors have a radioactive dowry- Americium 241. This component has a half life of 458 years. It may be inhaled by the users as a result of the declination of the packaging of the detector when it is discarded in landfills. Therefore, having these detectors in our homes is likely to increase this threat, and the population may be exposed to diseases such as cancer and other genetic disorders. According to this article, this compound is absorbed in the body easily through the intestines or lungs. This is a major danger to the future generations, and therefore should not be used in our homes. The problem with this argument is that the author fails to explore the different safe options that can be used in disposing these detectors. Although they may have some form of radiation, proper disposals mechanisms can help eliminate this threat. In addition, the author does not clearly state the actual threat posed by these detectors. The arguments a re not backed up with figures to illustrate this threat. The threat may not be meaning(a) after all. The use of these detectors cannot be trashed on the basis of the above claims since the benefits outweigh the costs by far. First, the purchase of smoke alarms and the reducing of fires is important to the growth of the economy. In a study conducted by Haddix et al (2001), the authors act to estimate the cost effectiveness of a smoke alarm giveaway program conducted in okey City. The results of the study showed that using these
