In the following paper we will be mapping tort law in the common law, reflecting on the divergence between corrective and distributive justice and their main theoretical defenses deployed by Anglo-American scholars. The concepts are in turn portrayed in their proper context: a legal culture shaped historically different from the continental legal culture. However, at a deeper level, both tradit...

in this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. we then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.
