Property Tax The property tax has been criticized as an unfair basis for financing public schools. Areas that have high property values are able to pay better schools than area having lower property values. Thus, there is an inequality of educational opportunities that tends to perpetuate educational and social disadvantages for those who live in low-income areas. Do you agree or disagree? How could school financing be modified to provide more equal funding among all regions of a state? Zoning & Property Value Discussion The main argument traditionally advanced in the favor of zoning is that it protects property values. Do you believe this contention? If so, how does zoning protect property values? If you do not believe the contention, why not? .

PROMPT: Analyze from Amreeka the scene you found most powerful. (3 pages minimum, double-spaced, MLA format) Some powerful scenes you may wish to consider include: · The checkpoint scenes that begin approximately at 3:30 and 10:30 in the film · The scene where Muna and Fadi go through U.S. Customs (17:40-19:49) · Fadi’s first day at school (and his younger cousin before that helping him choose what to wear) (29:12-34:05); there is another powerful scene in the classroom beginning at 41:50 · Two scenes: Muna and Raghda talking about being homesick ; Muna and Raghda at the Arabic grocery store on life back in Palestine (35:00--39) · The scenes at White Castle are rich for the way we see Muna adjusting to her new life, and for the relationships she starts to form beyond her family with high school dropout Matt and Fadi’s high school principal, a Polish-American Jew. · The ending of the film begins with Muna running the drive-through at White Castle. That scene and the scene that follows in the van as she and her extended family and their guest, the principal, go to an Arab restaurant would reward careful analysis, as would the last scene of their meal in the restaurant. .

Prompt #1: Examples of Inductive Inference Prepare : To prepare to answer this prompt, take another look at Chapter 5 of our book, paying close attention to the names of the various forms of inductive inference. Types of inductive inference: Appeals to authority, Arguments from Analogy, Inductive Generalizations, Inferences to the Best Explanations, and Statistical Syllogisms Write : To answer the prompt, create or find one example each of three different types of inductive inference. Clearly indicate as well which type of inductive inference it is. For each of your arguments, include an analysis of its degree of strength using the evaluative methods we learned in the chapter for that type of argument. Prompt #2: One of the most common inferences in life is the inference to the best explanation (sometimes called abductive reasoning ). We use this type of reasoning to infer what would best explain the things that we see. Chapter 5 in our book demonstrates ways in which this type of reasoning helps us to explain the world around us. Prepare : Choose a topic that is difficult or controversial to explain. Some good topics include hoaxes, unusual sightings (e.g. UFOs, bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster), the supernatural or paranormal, events that are the subject of conspiracy theories, unsolved crimes or other court cases, etc. Reflect : Do a little research to find a specific topic and learn about explanations on both sides. Consider what you think might best explain the observed facts of the case. Write : Explain the topic you chose and why it is interesting or controversial. Present good arguments on more than one side of the issue (e.g. competing explanations of the facts). Analyze both arguments that you have presented. Then present your own argument for your theory that you feel will best explain this phenomenon. Are there any holes in your theory? Is there any information that would be likely to strengthen or weaken your case? .

Project This project requires you to identify and analyze legal issues and to make recommendations based on one or more fact patterns. The issues will relate to the concepts covered in weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 about the legal environment of business and business organizations. Directions This project contains three sections. You must respond to each section. You must use Headings (Section) and Sub-headings (Numbers) in your submission (points will be deducted if you do not properly label your responses. If a question is numbered, your response should also be numbered. Section I – Sam and Irene Sam and his sister Irene, are partners in an important business located in a small town in Rhode Island. Irene is married to a well-known real estate developer and is campaigning to be the mayor of their town. Sam is in his mid-thirties and has never been married. Both siblings travel to other countries to purchase the goods they sell at their retail store. Irene buys Indonesian goods, and Sam buys goods from Africa. After a tsunami destroys many of the cities in Indonesia to which Irene usually travels, she phones one of her contacts there and asks him to procure some items and ship them to her. He informs her that it will be impossible to buy these items now because the townspeople are being evacuated due to a water shortage. Irene is angry and tells the man that if he cannot purchase the goods, he should just take them without paying for them after the town has been evacuated. Sam overhears his sister’s instructions and is outraged. They have a falling-out, and Sam decides that he no longer wishes to be in business with his sister. 1. Suppose that Sam tells several of his friends about Irene instructing the man to take goods without paying for them after the tsunami disaster. If Irene files a tort action against Sam alleging slander, will her suit be successful? Why or why not? 2. Now suppose that Irene wins the election and becomes the city’s mayor. Several months later Irene receives a shipment of goods from the man to whom she spoke in Indonesia. Sam asks his sister how she was able to get the goods and she replied, “I’ve got my ways.” Both Sam and his sister believe the goods were obtained fraudulently. Sam then writes a letter to the editor of the local newspaper disclosing Irene’s misconduct. If Irene accuses Sam of committing libel, what defenses could Sam assert? Discuss fully. 3. Suppose now that Irene, who is angry with her brother for disclosing her business improprieties, writes a letter to the editor falsely accusing Sam of having sexual relations with her neighbor’s thirteen-year-old daughter. For what intentional tort or torts could Sam sue Irene in this situation? Discuss fully. Section II – Sam and Marvin Sam wanted to get away from it all and learned that “One Step, Two Step” an extremely popular band was coming to town. One Step, Two Step is old school in that patrons must buy tickets in person at one location in e.

You created a workbook to store agent names, student IDs, and tour codes. The workbook also contains a worksheet to store lookup tables. You need to complete the workbook for your manager’s approval. 1. Lookup Tables The Lookup Tables worksheet contains two lookup tables: one to look up the base price to find the commission rate and the other table to look up the tour package code to find the tour description, departure date, and base cost. You need to assign a range name to each lookup table. a. Start Excel. Open the Excel file LetsGo_trips , briefly view the 3 worksheets (Lookup Tables, Data, and Summary) and then save the workbook as ( your true ) LastnameFirstname _trips. b. Make sure the Lookup Tables sheet is active. Assign the range name rates to the base price and commission range. c. Assign the range name tours to the data for the package, tour description, departure, and base cost. 2. Insert Functions and Formulas You need to insert lookup functions that look up the tour code, compare it to the lookup table, and then return the trip description, departure date, and base cost of the trip. Then you need to insert a formula to calculate the cost with taxes and fees, the monthly payment, and the agents’ commissions. a. Click cell D13 on the Data sheet, and then insert a VLOOKUP function that looks up the tour code (Column C), compares it to the tours table, and returns the description. b. Click cell E13 , and then insert a lookup function that looks up the tour code, compares it to the tours table, and returns the departure date. c. Click cell F13 , and then insert a lookup function that looks up the tour code, compares it to the tours table, and returns the base cost of the trip. d.
