## Chapter Breakdown
### Chapter 1: Internet
The first chapter talks about online insults. As a member of the online community, people often like to express their opinions through social media. When they see opinions that differ from their own, they might not be able to resist lashing out. There are a few things that people might not know:
- Insulting virtual characters is also "defamation": Even insulting a character or account in a game is not allowed.
- If you add pictures and text on social media, it may constitute "aggravated defamation."
- A few ways to avoid it:
- Focus on the issue, not the person
- For the bad behavior of businesses, focus on the behavior, not the business or the boss.
This chapter also mentions internet copyright, whether sharing pictures of elders infringes on copyright, and relevant civil law items for online shopping.
A few noteworthy points:
- The definition of online shopping merchants: If it's occasional, it falls under civil law. Otherwise, it's under consumer protection law.
- Regarding shops selling fake goods:
- If it's not explicitly stated as a certain brand, it's not fraud.
- If it's called a "Grade A" product, but the quality is worse, it doesn't constitute fraud.
### Chapter 2: Traffic
Everyone may have some traffic disputes, so how should you handle them correctly?
- You must have a police registration form
- Confirm that everything is correct before signing.
- You can request photos from the police
- Related compensation for injuries:
- If you can't work, you can apply for sick leave pay
- Transportation costs for medical treatment are also included
- Mental compensation is between ten thousand and two hundred thousand (but difficult to prove)
- How to resolve traffic tickets with problems
- Appeal before the due date
- File a lawsuit within thirty days
- Reporting through cameras:
- Roadside surveillance cameras cannot be used for reporting
- Self-reporting requires naming yourself, otherwise, it will not be accepted.
- You must report within seven days of taking the photos (videos)
- Only reporting, accidents, weaving, and tailgating may have rewards.
### Chapter 3: Renting
Whether you're renting from someone or renting to someone, you can't be without relevant legal knowledge:
- Handling related to renting and second landlords
- Disputes between the management committee and public construction parking lots
- Handling of haunted houses
### Chapter 4: Marriage
Marriage is truly a big deal, and it's also the union of two families. There are often many legal matters to deal with:
- The betrothal gifts can be returned if the marriage is not consummated.
- The person whose engagement is terminated can claim "damages," and if the engagement is terminated illegally, they can also claim emotional compensation.
- Regarding domestic violence
- Property handling at the time of divorce
### Chapter 5: Inheritance
No matter how harmonious a family is, you must be very careful when dealing with inheritance. Otherwise, it's very likely that family members will no longer be family.
- Discussions related to Li Ao's will, how to make a will legally effective.
- The right of inheritance must be available only when the person is deceased, so there is no early renunciation
- Daughters can also have the right of inheritance, the so-called "special reserved portion"
- The difference between "lifetime gifts" and "special gifts": How is a special gift, in fact, can be fought for as an inheritance item.
- The issue of renouncing parental support, the inheritance issue of children born out of wedlock.
- If the inheritance has already been divided, subsequent family members cannot come back and claim inheritance.
- How to write a will
- List clearly, with points
- List all heirs
- Cannot instruct others to do anything in the will
### Chapter 6: Sex
This mentions issues related to honey traps or related harassment disputes:
- Definitions of sexual harassment and indecency:
- Indecency is more like sexual assault
- Sexual harassment only needs to make the other party feel uncomfortable
- Spreading photos of others' privacy constitutes "spreading obscene items"
- If there are threats, it constitutes "threat of endangering safety"
- Legal matters related to honey traps
# Thoughts
This book is very practical, starting from things that are often heard or may be encountered in everyday life. The cases in the whole book are clear, and there will be no profound legal articles to interpret. Most of them explain clearly how to avoid making legal mistakes and causing the loss of one's own rights. Many things are really not noticed at the beginning. After seeing these relevant legal articles and related case explanations, I also understand the related importance. It is highly recommended that everyone read this book carefully, which will definitely make everyone understand the common sense of law in life and protect themselves.
