A quick definition of care:

Term: Care

Definition: Care means paying close attention and being careful. It's the opposite of being careless or not paying attention. The amount of care you need to take depends on the situation you're in. There are three levels of care: slight care, which is what you do for things that aren't very important; reasonable care, which is what most people would do in a similar situation; and great care, which is when you need to be extra careful.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Care means being attentive, careful, and diligent. It is the opposite of being careless or negligent. The amount of care needed in a situation is determined by the standard of conduct expected from a person in that situation.

In law, there are three degrees of care:

  • Slight care: This is the degree of care that people exercise for their own affairs of slight importance.
  • Reasonable (or ordinary) care: This is the degree of care that an ordinary, prudent, and rational person would exercise in similar circumstances.
  • Great care: This is the degree of care that is greater than what is usually expected from a person of ordinary prudence in similar circumstances.

For example, if you are driving a car, you are expected to exercise reasonable care to avoid accidents. This means following traffic rules, paying attention to the road, and not driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you are a doctor, you are expected to exercise great care when treating patients, as their health and well-being depend on your actions.

Overall, care is about being responsible and taking the necessary steps to prevent harm or damage. It is an important concept in many areas of life, including law, medicine, and everyday interactions with others.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.
