public wrong

Read a random definition: structural alteration

A quick definition of public wrong:

A public wrong is when someone does something that goes against the law and harms the community or the state. It is different from a private wrong, which only affects one person. Not all public wrongs are crimes, but they are still taken seriously and can be dealt with in a legal proceeding. Examples of public wrongs include breaching a contract with the government or committing an offense against the state.

A more thorough explanation:

A public wrong is an offense committed against the state or the community at large. It is dealt with in a proceeding to which the state is itself a party. This means that the government takes legal action against the person who committed the offense. Not all public wrongs are crimes. For example, if a person breaches a contract with the government, they commit a public wrong, but the offense is a civil one, not a criminal one.

  • If a person vandalizes a public park, they commit a public wrong because they have damaged property that belongs to the community.
  • If a company pollutes a river, they commit a public wrong because they have harmed the environment and the people who rely on the river for drinking water and recreation.

These examples illustrate how a public wrong is an offense that affects the community as a whole, rather than just one individual. The government takes legal action to protect the interests of the community and ensure that the offender is held accountable for their actions.

Jackfrost has a point though, a good way to stand out with your apps is to do as much "optional" stuff as possible, including the interview

Defining “postmodernism” is a daunting task. One commentator has likened it to “trying to nail gelatin to a wall.” Part of the difficulty is postmodernism’s heterogeneity. As Angela Harris has noted, “There are as many different definitions of postmodernism as there are postmodernists.”
