1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Act:
“the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in animals.”
After this clause was adopted, no new additives could be approved for use in food if they caused cancer in people or animals.
The public loved this and industry hated it.
What do you think of this clause? Do you support it or do you oppose it?
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT or OPPOSE and then give your rationale. Then after you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
2.There was a law that individuals who were indigent and who wished to litigate could apply to the courts for a total waiver of the normal filing fee. In the legislative session, however, a statute was enacted which limits the courts' authority to waive filing fees in lawsuits brought by prisoners against the state government.
Under this new law, a court has to require the prisoner to pay a filing fee "equal to 20 percent ... of the average monthly deposits made to the prisoner's [prison] account ... or the average balance in that account", whichever is greater (unless this calculation yields a figure larger than the normal filing fee).
A prisoner (who was indigent) wanted to appeal his case and was to be charged this fee. He filed suit claiming it was unconstitutional to charge this fee to prisoners.
Choose the side of the prisoner or the side of the state and tell why you would rule for the side you chose.
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT PRISONER or OPPOSE PRISONER and then give your rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
3.A defendant pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to 108 months in prison. The sentencing judge raised the defendant’s base offense level….by two levels because "a computer was used for the transmission" of the illegal material.
The appeal filed challenged the punishment enhancement (not his guilt of the base punishment.)
The defendant argued the law did not apply to him because he did not use a computer to transmit the material. (ie He was the receiver, not the sender, of the child pornography.)
Do you believe that the sentence enhancement should be upheld? Give an economic analysis and rational for your choice.
At the top of your post, please indicate SENTENCE UPHELD or SENTENCE REVERSED and then give your economic analysis/rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
4.The ordinance was enacted that gives tenants more legal rights including:
the payment of interest on security deposits;
requires that those deposits be held in Illinois banks;
allows (with some limitations) a tenant to withhold rent in an amount reflecting the cost to him of the landlord's v.
The legislature in Sacramento is still out but that doesn't change the fact that at some point they'll be back and our business members need our advocacy more than ever. Especially critical when you hear about some of the gut-and-amend bills happening right now like AB 828, which would irreparably harm every landlord in California.
Assignment #5 100 points
_______________________________________________
A Comprehensive Position on Psychoactive Substances
_______________________________________________
Preparation: By this point in the course, you have been exposed to a
variety of different sources of information that attempt to contextualize
psychoactive substance use in the United States. You also have written a
number of short essays that focus on different substances and facets of
use. Today’s assignment focuses on your ability to articulate a cohesive
“summary” of your attitudes, beliefs, and understanding based on these
experiences.
Your Assignment: You have been hired by a non-partisan “think tank” to
draft a position statement on psychoactive substances in the United
States. This statement will be distributed to congress, members of the
media, judicial agencies, public health agencies, and other interested
parties. The purpose of the statement is to encourage a paradigm shift –
to suggest a new way of thinking about psychoactive substances, or, if
you wish, to reinforce current ways of thinking. Content for this statement
should include (examples are provided on the reverse of this sheet):
- What is the psychoactive substance that is most important to
address in the United States? Choose one.
- What current strategies address use of that substance?
- What new strategies do you suggest to address that substance, if
any?
What You Need to Submit:
This assignment should be a minimum of 1,250 words.
Grading:
Thorough examination of the issue 80 points
- Part One (Selection of Most Important) (20)
- Part Two (Current Strategies) (30)
- Part Three (New Strategies) (30)
Grammar/Spelling/Length 20 points
Brief Sample Assignment:
Most Important Substance: Here, I’m looking for you to select a single
substance (i.e., cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, etc…) that you think is
important to address. Then, explain why it is the most important
substance. A shortened example might be: “Marijuana is the most
important substance to address in the United States because it’s the most
contentious in terms of law. In other words, it is the area of the most
conflict between state and federal governments.”
- Then, tell me how you came to this conclusion (i.e., the standard
that you used to determine this).
- Provide examples
Current Strategies: Identify one or two current strategies (such as MLDA 21,
drug scheduling, warning labeling on cigarette packages, etc…) that
have addressed the use of that substance. Then, tie them in to the issue
you identified in the first part of the assignment. For example, “Marijuana
remains illegal at the federal level with no accepted medical uses. This is
because the FDA has stated that it will never approve a smoked
substance as a medical product. However, this quickly is becoming a law
without teeth, as .

Torts
This week’s lecture will cover torts.
In some ways, torts are similar to crimes. Often, there is a wrong committed, and indeed, many crimes also include the commission of a tort. In fact, a tort also consists of elements each of which must be proven true by a preponderance of the evidence (this means that it is more likely than not that the elements are satisfied). However, as touched upon last week, a tort is a civil action where the plaintiff brings a suit against the defendant. As a civil action, the state is not a party and jail time is never at issue in a tort action.
This does not mean that torts are not a controversial issue. The infamous McDonald’s coffee case, where a woman successfully sued McDonald’s for hot coffee spilt in her lap, has become one rallying point for people decrying the excesses of the tort system. And many prominent commentators view tort reform is a serious issue in this country.
However, this lecture will mostly avoid addressing these complexities and will instead focus and further explaining what torts are.
We will discuss two broad categories of torts: intentional torts and negligence. As we continue, please note that these torts consist of elements. The plaintiff must prove each of these elements in order to be entitled to a judgment.
The first type of tort is an intentional tort. These torts require proof on intent. For these purposes, intent means that the defendant intended the consequences of his actions or knew with substantial certainty that certain consequences would follow from the act. Battery is an example of an intentional tort. Battery requires proof of an unexcused, harmful, or offensive touching to the body or something touching the body and intent. Thus, if the defendant pushes the plaintiff, the defendant is liable for battery if the conduct was unexcused and the defendant intended to push the plaintiff or knew that his actions would lead to the plaintiff being pushed.
The second type of tort we need to discuss is negligence. Negligence is a very important tort. The elements of the negligence tort are: 1) existence of a duty of care; 2) the breach of this duty; 3) a legally recognized injury; and 4) the breach of the duty must cause the injury. Although this area of law has a significant amount of complexity, the important issue to recognize in relation to negligence is that the law generally imposes a duty to act reasonably. This duty is owed to those who may be foreseeably injured by a failure to act reasonably.
For example, a motorist carrying a passenger owes duties to drive reasonably to other motorists and his passenger as these people may be injured if the driver is not paying sufficient attention to the road. Reasonably in this context is an objective standard. It is the answer to the question: how would a reasonable person act in the same circumstances? This tort differs from intentional torts due to the lack of the intent requirement.

1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan.docxcroysierkathey
1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan Harlow?
Fargo and Town Manager Harlow are on a slippery slope to corruption. I think that Harlow is handling her position the correct way by trying to remain neutral and sticking to a code of ethics so the problem really comes down to the political actors in the town. It is good that Harlow declined the invite to the dinner party, and cracked down on employees playing politics at work, that is a step in the right direction to removing the possibility of political corruption.
2.What is the basis for your answer to question #1?
At the end of the article Harlow remembers another city manager saying “you never have more authority than the day you walk into your office” What I get from that, and what I think Harlow got from that is that when you come into a position as a public manager everyone is going to want something from you. Political actors are going to want political favors, quid pro quos, you have something that everyone else wants and they are going to try and get that from you.
3.What are your recommended solutions to the problems you identified?
I think the best thing to do would be to continue to try to remain neutral. It will always be impossible to please absolutely everybody so the best thing to do is try to avoid doing everything everyone asks and stick to some sort of code of ethics.
4.What points do you agree, disagree or want further discussion from your fellow classmates and why? (tell them not me)
I think the overarching theme of this article is that people are going to want things from the government. I agree with Harlow's steps to avoid political corruption in her administration by cracking down on political favors with the snow plows and referring to the ICMA code of ethics.

Writing: Practice in Reading a Photograph
Attached Files:
Bachman, Ieshia Evans, Baton Rouge (2016).jpg
(277.283 KB)
For this assignment, you will practice analyzing how various rhetorical elements contribute to the overall meaning of a visual image--in this case, a photograph. To begin, click on the attached image.
By way of some context, this photo was taken in 2016 at a protest rally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The woman in the photo is named Ieshia Evans. The photographer is named Jonathan Bachman. Bachman's photo, which was first published by Reuters, was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2017. You can use this information to do more research on the image, if you like.
Now, review once again the Elements and Methods of Visual Rhetoric document and select from it
three
elements that you wish to discuss in relation to this photo. Please note that this is not a formal essay assignment, so do not treat it as such. For example, you do not need to create a formal introduction.
Begin by simply providing an
interpretive claim
--i.e., stating what you believe is the meaning or message of Bachman's photo. Ideally, this should be just
one
sentence (tho you can write two if necessary). After that, your document simply needs to contain
three paragraphs
, one for each rhetorical element you have selected. In each paragraph, you need to explain fully how the particular element contributes to the overall meaning or message of the image.
Note: Your assignment must be submitted as an attached .doc or .docx file. Name your file correctly, using your last name and brief description of assignment (e.g., Martinez, Photograph.docx).

1.
This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have taken some time to consider the role of the humanities in establishing socio-cultural values, including how the humanities differ from the sciences in terms of offering unique lenses on the world and our reality. Since one of the greatest rewards of being a human is engaging with different forms of art, we’ve taken some time this week to learn about what it means to identify and respond to a work of art. We’ve learned about the difference between abstract ideas and concrete images and concepts like structure and artistic form. To help you deepen your understanding of these foundational ideas, your Unit 1 assignment will consist of writing an essay addressing using the following criteria:
Essay Requirements:
• 1,000 words or roughly four double-spaced pages.
• Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our course text may serve as one of these three sources.
• Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections.
• Be sure to cite your sources using proper APA format (7th edition).
Essay Prompt:
• In this essay, you will consider the meaning of art and artistic form by responding to these questions:
o To what extent does Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph (figure 2-5) have artistic form?
o Using what you’ve learned in Chapters 1, 2 and 14 explain if you consider Carter’s photograph a work of art? Be sure to point to specific qualities of the photograph to support/develop your response.
o How do you measure the intensity of your experience in response to Carter’s photograph? What does it make you see/feel/imagine and how does your response/reaction support Carter’s image as a work of art?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Actthe S.docx
1. 1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Act:
“the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not
approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce
cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in
animals.”
After this clause was adopted, no new additives could be
approved for use in food if they caused cancer in people or
animals.
The public loved this and industry hated it.
What do you think of this clause? Do you support it or do you
oppose it?
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT or OPPOSE
and then give your rationale. Then after you can view your
classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
2.There was a law that individuals who were indigent and who
wished to litigate could apply to the courts for a total waiver of
the normal filing fee. In the legislative session, however, a
statute was enacted which limits the courts' authority to waive
filing fees in lawsuits brought by prisoners against the state
government.
Under this new law, a court has to require the prisoner to pay a
filing fee "equal to 20 percent ... of the average monthly
deposits made to the prisoner's [prison] account ... or the
average balance in that account", whichever is greater (unless
this calculation yields a figure larger than the normal filing
fee).
A prisoner (who was indigent) wanted to appeal his case and
2. was to be charged this fee. He filed suit claiming it was
unconstitutional to charge this fee to prisoners.
Choose the side of the prisoner or the side of the state and tell
why you would rule for the side you chose.
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT PRISONER
or OPPOSE PRISONER and then give your rationale. After you
can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow
students.
3.A defendant pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child
pornography and was sentenced to 108 months in prison. The
sentencing judge raised the defendant’s base offense level….by
two levels because "a computer was used for the transmission"
of the illegal material.
The appeal filed challenged the punishment enhancement (not
his guilt of the base punishment.)
The defendant argued the law did not apply to him because he
did not use a computer to transmit the material. (ie He was the
receiver, not the sender, of the child pornography.)
Do you believe that the sentence enhancement should be
upheld? Give an economic analysis and rational for your
choice.
At the top of your post, please indicate SENTENCE UPHELD or
SENTENCE REVERSED and then give your economic
analysis/rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts,
make your case to your fellow students.
4.The ordinance was enacted that gives tenants more legal
rights including:
3. the payment of interest on security deposits;
requires that those deposits be held in Illinois banks;
allows (with some limitations) a tenant to withhold rent in an
amount reflecting the cost to him of the landlord's violating a
term in the lease;
allows a tenant to make minor repairs and subtract the
reasonable cost of the repair from his rent;
forbids a landlord to charge a tenant more than $10 a month for
late payment of rent (regardless of how much is owing); and
creates a presumption (albeit rebuttable) that a landlord who
seeks to evict a tenant after the tenant has exercised rights
conferred by the ordinance is retaliating against the tenant for
the exercise of those rights.
The stated purpose of the ordinance is to promote public health,
safety, and welfare and the quality of housing in Chicago.
A lawsuit and subsequently an appeal was filed challenging the
constitutionality of this ordinance.
In this forum please focus on these two rights:
allows (with some limitations) a tenant to withhold rent in an
amount reflecting the cost to him of the landlord's violating a
term in the lease;
allows a tenant to make minor repairs and subtract the
reasonable cost of the repair from his rent;
4. Provide an economic analysis/economic prediction of this law.
Be sure to include who is helped by this law and who is hurt by
this law and then give your rationale. Then after you can view
your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
