A narcissist is someone who despises modesty and celebrates vanity. Everything is an inflated and unrealistic mirror of self in narcissism.

Every narcissist sees themselves as godlike, and their deep-seated anxieties and insecurities are obscured by the false notion that they are unique.

The two foundations of narcissism are malignant self-obsession and self-centeredness, in which a person is unconcerned about the wishes, needs, or interests of others.

This type of behaviour is associated with personality problems, according to psychologists. The name was derived from the Greek mythology narrative of Narcissus, a child who fell in love with his own reflection, which dates back to at least 8 AD. This tale was offered by Sigmund Freud as a representation of a self-absorbed person.

Parents, we want our children to be enthusiastic about their learning and enjoy their day-to-day schooling experiences as much as possible.  Overall, we aim for them to love their school.  Many parents assume that this will happen automatically when we enrol them in a reputable brick-and-mortar school with good facilities, getting their education in the midst of a dynamic and committed school community.  However, you can tick all those boxes about the school, and still find that your child is simply not engaged in their learning, or in their school social life.

A suretyship agreement is defined as an agreement in terms of which a third party, namely the surety, undertakes liability towards a creditor for the proper performance of a portion of or the entire obligation of a debtor.

A valid principal obligation between the creditor and debtor is essential for the validity of a suretyship agreement. This is known as an accessory obligation. Therefore, if there is no principal obligation, then there is no suretyship agreement. It should be noted that the debtor’s obligation towards the creditor continues to exist notwithstanding the suretyship agreement.

It should be noted that the suretyship’s liability can never exceed that of the debtor.

Governments worldwide face the same dilemma: Do existing human rights prevent them from compelling their citizens by legislation to be vaccinated?

There is much uncertainty as to whether the Directions which were issued in June 2021 entitles South African employers to introduce mandatory vaccination at the workplace as the Bill of Rights states at section 12(2)(b) of the Constitution that “Everyone has the right to bodily and psychological integrity, which includes the right (b) to security in and control over their body.” In simple terms this means that people can refuse to be injected with the vaccine.

Does this mean that individual rights outweigh the rights of the employer and fellow employees to a safe and healthy workplace?
