In this presentation we aim to provide an understanding of enrolment issues, contractual issues and record keeping. We explore aspects such as:
- Who are the parties to an Enrolment Agreement;
- When is the contract formed;
- Variations to the contract, what and how;
- Australian Consumer Law;
- Discrimination; and
- Breach of the Enrolment Contract
- Fees
This presentation looks beyond the principal institutions of the three arms of government, canvassing the role of other actors within the system of governance in general and the legal system in particular. It covers the structure of the legal profession - the roles of solicitors and barristers - and their regulation. Royal commissions and law reform commissions provide a contrast to the courts and parliament, and serve a particular purpose in the administration of justice. The Attorney-General oversees an extensive portfolio of justice-related departments and institutions, including the DPP. Finally we ask: does the media play a role in good governance?

Two assignments
1. Watch the documentary “Inside Job”, narrated by Matt Daemon.
2. For each paper, must include two part, (a) write (roughly) one double-spaced page demonstrating a non-superficial understanding of an issue raised in the documentary, and (b) Write (roughly) one double-spaced page demonstrating a non-superficial understanding of how one of the readings from the course applies to the issue you discuss in part (a).
Each of the two must involve a different issue raised by the documentary, YOU NEED TO RAISE ANOTHER TWO ISSUES NOT THE TWO ISSUES YOU USED IN LAST TIME.
Each of the two must discuss a different reading from the following list:
First paper relates to “Decision Fatigue” and Ariely chapter 4 discussion.
Second paper relates to Ariely chapter 8 discussion.
Notes for Chapter 4 & 8:
Chapter 4: Why We Blow It When We Are Tired
Stressful days make us eat less healthy food
Cognitive load even if minimal makes us more liable to temptation
The tired brain
When deliberative brain occupied then instinctive part takes over
When judges get tired
Judges grant parole more frequently first thing in morning and right after lunch break
Willful cognitive work and denial of instincts lowers barriers to cheating in other parts of life
Months of studying causes students to lower morals and claim dead grandmothers before finals
Don't shop for groceries when tired or hungry
Give in to some known temptations like dessert to avoid bigger unknown temptations later
Do most challenging tasks in morning
Remove temptations or don't go to places where see them
Chapter 8: Cheating as an Infection
Spread of corporate dishonesty like infection
Observing dishonesty in ppl close to u makes u do it more
When do something questionable, the act of inviting our friends to join in makes us feel better because socially acceptable
Dishonesty defined by social norms not cost benefit analysis
When observer from outside group cheats then the signaling effect breaks
Wrong to view minor infractions as trivial because signal and then snowball
Broken windows theory: fix problems when they r small
Publicize the individuals stand up against Crime
Publicize outstanding moral acts

Research shows that Emotional Intelligence is a proven indicator of performance. In fact, it has been found to be directly responsible for 27-45% of job success. Those who are emotionally intelligent are better able to achieve their goals, build relationships, and influence others. On an organizational level, this translates into better decisions, better teams, and better leaders. The good news? Emotional Intelligence can be developed and improved with the right tools.
The EQ Edge is a free webinar that will introduce you to the world of Emotional Intelligence. Presented by one of the top experts in the field, Dr. Steven Stein will explore how building an emotionally intelligent workforce can lead to employee satisfaction, superior performance, increased profits—and a healthier organization overall.

5.1 DEFINITIONS OF
INTELLIGENCE
Before we discuss definitions of intelligence, we
need to clarify the nature of definition itself.
Sternberg (1986) makes a distinction between
operational and “real” definitions that is
important in this context. An operational
definition defines a concept in terms of the way
it is measured. Boring (1923) carried this
viewpoint to its extreme when he defined
intelligence as “what the tests test.” Believe it or
not, this was a serious proposal, designed
largely to short-circuit rampant and divisive
disagreements about the definition of
intelligence.
Operational definitions of intelligence suffer
from two dangerous shortcomings (Sternberg,
1986). First, they are circular. Intelligence tests
were invented to measure intelligence, not to
define it. The test designers never intended for
their instruments to define intelligence. Second,
operational definitions block further progress in
understanding the nature of intelligence,
because they foreclose discussion on the
adequacy of theories of intelligence.
This second problem—the potentially stultifying
effects of relying on operational definitions of
intelligence—casts doubt on the common
practice of affirming the concurrent validity of
new tests by correlating them with old tests. If
established tests serve as the principal criterion
against which new tests are assessed, then the
new tests will be viewed as valid only to the
extent that they correlate with the old ones.
Such a conservative practice drastically curtails
innovation. The operational definition of
intelligence does not allow for the possibility
that new tests or conceptions of intelligence
may be superior to the existing ones.
We must conclude, then, that operational
definitions of intelligence leave much to be
desired. In contrast, a real definition is one that
seeks to tell us the true nature of the thing being
defined (Robinson, 1950; Sternberg, 1986).
Perhaps the most common way—but by no
means the only way—of producing real
definitions of intelligence is to ask experts in the
field to define it.
Expert Definitions of Intelligence
Intelligence has been given many real
definitions by prominent researchers in the field.
In the following, we list several examples,
paraphrased slightly for editorial consistency.
The reader will note that many of these
definitions appeared in an early but still
influential symposium, “Intelligence and Its
Measurement,” published in the Journal of
Educational Psychology (Thorndike, 1921).
Other definitions stem from a modern update of
this early symposium, What Is Intelligence?,
edited by Sternberg and Detterman (1986).
