Law

Course summary

It is important for people to understand the rules and regulations in civil society and what our rights and liberties are all about. It is also important to highlight areas in which the law doesn’t work and what can be done to change it. I think that basic legal knowledge is something that every citizen should be taught and this knowledge will help us to avoid being exploited or unjustly treated by our superiors.
