Questions and Answers

1.

Civil law addresses violations harmful to society and is actively enforced by the state.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Civil law primarily deals with disputes between individuals or entities, rather than violations harmful to society as a whole. It focuses on resolving conflicts related to contracts, property, torts, and family law. The state may intervene to enforce civil law decisions, but it is not actively involved in enforcing civil law violations. Criminal law, on the other hand, addresses violations harmful to society and is actively enforced by the state. Therefore, the statement is false.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Private law and public law are two broad categories of law that affect individuals in the workplace. Private law includes laws that govern relationships between individuals, such as contracts and torts. In the workplace, private law may come into play when dealing with employment contracts or disputes between employees. Public law, on the other hand, refers to laws that regulate the relationship between individuals and the government. In the workplace, public law may include laws related to health and safety regulations or employment discrimination. Therefore, it is true that both private law and public law can impact individuals in the workplace.

Explanation
Aggregate information is created by combining pieces of non-private data, often collected during software updates via cookies. However, when this information is combined, it may violate privacy.
