BUS 206 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Business law impacts our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts, manufacture goods, sell services and products,
and engage in employment and labor practices—activities that must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial relationships and avoid potential problems in the business world.
Prompt: Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You will review the case studies and
compose a short report for each, applying your legal knowledge and understanding of the types of business organizations. In each of the three reports, you will
focus on areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics.
Case Study One: Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California, have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion called Funny Face over the internet. They
contract with Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets with a representative from
Novelty Now to design the product and to plan marketing and distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin, Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute
PYR (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) for the compound in Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved. Funny Face is marketed nationally on the
radio and in newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook. Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys one bottle of Funny Face over the
internet. After he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin Empire Inc., file suit in the
state of New York against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt, and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and compensation for the damage to his face
and business reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused Margolin’s skin discoloration..

BUS 307 Case Study 1 Guidelines and Rubric
For this case study, craft a professional email, appropriate in format, tone, and content, to send to your clients Fred and Sally, with your preliminary thoughts on
the issues within. Your email should illustrate the issues and relevant law, apply the facts, and support your conclusions with regard to each issue. Always
remember to be clear, kind, and professional in your communications.
Case Study 1
Fred is well known in his town for his homeopathic cough syrup. After years of encouragement, he has decided to take his miracle cough remedy to market as
“Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup.” While his cough syrup is homeopathic, one of the key ingredients causes a severe reaction when taken in conjunction with aspirin.
Fred plans to make and bottle his cough syrup in an outbuilding on the family farm. His son, Sam, has been raving to the locals about his father’s cough syrup for
years, and the local drug store and grocer have contacted Fred to place orders as a result. Sam also intends to approach several national chains in an effort to
secure supply contracts for Fred’s cough syrup. Fred has asked Sam to assist him with deliveries, as Sam has a van. Fred would like Sam to be involved with the
business as an employee initially, with the option of making him a partial owner at a later time. Fred and his wife Sally have two children, Sam and Lilly. Both live
in cabins on the family farm with their spouses and children. Fred and Sally engage you as their attorney to assist with the formation of the new business,
including determining the appropriate business entity type, management issues, product liability issues, and estate planning for both the business and family
property. After your initial meeting, you identify and research the following issues.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Describe the main types of business entities and their defining characteristics.
II. Apply product liability law and determine what issues are present. How would you advise your client to mitigate those issues?
III. Apply the elements and characteristics of an agency relationship to Sam’s actions. Does Sam’s involvement prior to the business formation, as well as
his anticipated role once the business is formed, create an agency relationship? Why or why not?
IV. Identify potential real property issues based on the location of the business on the family farm. Justify each potential issue.
V. Does the manufacture of Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup on the family farm necessitate a formal transfer of ownership or possessory rights? Defend your
response.
VI. Identify potential personal property issues based on the use of Sam’s personal vehicle to deliver the product. Justify each potential issue.
VII. Does the use of Sam’s personal vehicle in the course of business expose Sam or the business to any liability issues? Defend your response.

“New occasions teach new duties.”
James Russell Lowell 1819–1891 (American editor, poet, and diplomat)
One of the most complex issues that businesspersons and corporations face is ethics. Ethics is not as clearly defined as the law, and yet it can substantially impact a firm’s finances and reputation, especially when the firm is involved in a well-publicized scandal. Some scandals arise from conduct that is legal but ethically questionable. At other times, the conduct is both illegal and unethical. Business law and legal environment students must be able to think critically about both legal and ethical issues. As noted in the chapter-opening quotation, “New occasions teach new duties.”
Suppose that Finn Clayborn dropped out of Harvard University to start a company in Silicon Valley that developed and sold finger-prick blood-test kits. Clayborn raised millions from investors by claiming that his new technology would revolutionize blood testing by providing a full range of laboratory tests from a few drops of blood. The kits were marketed as a better alternative to traditional, more expensive lab tests ordered by physicians. They were sold at drugstores for a few dollars each and touted as a way for consumers to test their blood type and monitor their cholesterol, iron, and many other conditions. Within six years, Clayborn and his company were making millions. But complaints started rolling in that the test kits didn’t work and the results were not accurate (because more blood was needed). Numerous consumers, drugstores, and government agencies sued the company for fraudulent and misleading marketing practices. Clayborn’s profitable start-up now faces an uncertain future.
The goal of business ethics is not to stifle innovation. There is nothing unethical about a company selling an idea or technology that is still being developed. In fact, that’s exactly what many successful start-ups do—take a promising idea and develop it into a reality. But businesspersons also need to consider what will happen if new technologies do not work. Do they go ahead with production and sales? What are the ethical problems with putting a product on the market that does not function as advertised? To be sure, there is not always one clear answer to an ethical question. What is clear is that rushing to production and not thinking through ...

Introduction
Business ethics is a field that calls for ethical conduct when managers, supervisors, and workers are meeting the daily duties. This in compliance with applicable laws and organization’s code of conduct at all times regardless of the circumstances of a specific situation (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2014). Ethical conduct is helpful to an organization as it helps it avoid backlashes that might surface as a result of an unethical conduct. In light of this, low and high-ranking employees should have a self-drive in upholding ethical conduct in all situations. The following section looks into the ethical make-up of giving or taking a bribe for business purposes while utilizing the Project Management Institute (PMI) steps for arriving for to an ethical decision.
Discussion
The first step entails making an assessment. This is the process where one gathers facts about the ethical dilemma mainly regarding implications on the law and policies. In this case, bribing in the country for business purposes is not perceived illegal but does not abide with the organization’s code of ethics and also does not align with ethical values fostered by the organization. Bribing is normally perceived unethical as individuals are likely to overlook best practices when meeting business goals (Kenny, 2013). They are not held accountable after bribing their way through hence likely to put consumers at risk of harm that may result. In this step, it is worth noting that an individual can as well examine their personal values before committing to the action that need to be undertaken.
The second step entails examining the available alternatives. In this case, it can be seen that the competitors are willing to bribe their way through which is amounts to a threat. There are a number of alternatives that can be undertaken to counter the threat as follows. First, the government official can be involved in a session that will make him learn about advantages that will result if the business operates in the country. For instance, through corporate social responsibility the locals will benefit from a number of offers. Also, employment will be created. The official will be shown the big picture other than pocketing a bribe. Two, another alternative entails making the official learn about the ethical values of the organization that should not be violated in any case. One needs to show him utmost commitment to the values and make him understand the weight of the compromise that needs to be done. More so, he can be shown the impact that might be suffered by the organization in the event that the action is known to the public.
The third step entails making an analysis. In the event that the action backfires, there will be a negative impact suffered by the organization such as facing litigation as well as tarnishing the org.

Assignment 3:
The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace
Due Week 10 and worth 280 points
The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics.
You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace.
Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:
Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.
Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws.
State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce.
Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce.
Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

The Key Assignment for this course will involve creating polices for the various laws that are covered in the employee handbook. The purpose of the handbook is to equip managers with the information they need to lead their teams. For this assignment, you will create a paper of 1000 words.
Include the information below in your assignment. When discussing each act, provide an example of how it might be violated by an employer or employee and the approach that can be used (such as EEOC, diversity, grievances, counseling, documentation, or termination) to address the violation.
A policy for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
A policy for the Age Discrimination in Employment act (ADEA)
A policy for dealing with different types of harassment.
A policy for the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
A policy for the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
A policy for the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
A policy for the Equal Pay Act (EPA)
A policy for employee use of technology because new sources of social media and more advanced electronic devices are regularly being introduced to the market. Address topics such as: refraining from workplace commentary on social media, maintaining a professional image, what can be shared and what not to share on social media, harassment, privacy, and IT security.
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
Overview
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to discriminate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
Most employers with at least 15 employees are covered by EEOC laws (20 employees in age discrimination cases). Most labor unions and employment agencies are also covered.
The laws apply to all types of work situations, including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits.
Authority & Role
The EEOC has the authority to investigate charges of discrimination against employers who are covered by the law. Our role in an investigation is to fairly and accurately assess the allegations in the charge and then make a finding. If we find that discrimination has occurred, we will try to settle the charge. If we aren't successful, we have the authority to file a lawsuit to protect the rights of individuals and the interests of the public. We do not, however, file lawsuits in all cases where we find discrimination.
We also work to prevent discrimination before it occurs through outreach, education and technical assistance programs.
The EEOC provides leadership and guidance to .

Mini Case
IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in
place are going to be substantial,” he said.
But it was the second strategic thrust that was going to give him nightmares, he
predicted. How on earth did they expect him to put direct-to-customer sales in place
so they could sell “green” electric meters to individual users? His attention was jerked
back to the present by a flashy new logo on an easel that the CEO had just unveiled.
“In keeping with our updated strategy, may I present our new name—MM!”
Johnson announced portentously.
“Oh, this is just great,” thought Brian. “Now I have to go into every single applica-
tion and every single document this company produces and change our name!”
Because of its age and scientific orientation, ModMeters (as he still preferred to
call it) had been in the IT business a long time. Starting back in the early 1960s, the

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.). Also, what role could Frederick’s faith play in his decision?

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

Fred is well known in his town for his homeopathic cough syrup. After years of encouragement, he has decided to take his miracle cough remedy to market as
“Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup.” While his cough syrup is homeopathic, one of the key ingredients causes a severe reaction when taken in conjunction with aspirin.
Fred plans to make and bottle his cough syrup in an outbuilding on the family farm. His son, Sam, has been raving to the locals about his father’s cough syrup for
years, and the local drug store and grocer have contacted Fred to place orders as a result. Sam also intends to approach several national chains in an effort to
secure supply contracts for Fred’s cough syrup. Fred has asked Sam to assist him with deliveries, as Sam has a van. Fred would like Sam to be involved with the
business as an employee initially, with the option of making him a partial owner at a later time. Fred and his wife Sally have two children, Sam and Lilly. Both live
in cabins on the family farm with their spouses and children. Fred and Sally engage you as their attorney to assist with the formation of the new business,
including determining the appropriate business entity type, management issues, product liability issues, and estate planning for both the business and family
property. After your initial meeting, you identify and research the following issues.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Describe the main types of business entities and their defining characteristics.
II. Apply product liability law and determine what issues are present. How would you advise your client to mitigate those issues?
III. Apply the elements and characteristics of an agency relationship to Sam’s actions. Does Sam’s involvement prior to the business formation, as well as
his anticipated role once the business is formed, create an agency relationship? Why or why not?
IV. Identify potential real property issues based on the location of the business on the family farm. Justify each potential issue.
V. Does the manufacture of Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup on the family farm necessitate a formal transfer of ownership or possessory rights? Defend your
response.
VI. Identify potential personal property issues based on the use of Sam’s personal vehicle to deliver the product. Justify each potential issue.

“New occasions teach new duties.”
James Russell Lowell 1819–1891 (American editor, poet, and diplomat)
One of the most complex issues that businesspersons and corporations face is ethics. Ethics is not as clearly defined as the law, and yet it can substantially impact a firm’s finances and reputation, especially when the firm is involved in a well-publicized scandal. Some scandals arise from conduct that is legal but ethically questionable. At other times, the conduct is both illegal and unethical. Business law and legal environment students must be able to think critically about both legal and ethical issues. As noted in the chapter-opening quotation, “New occasions teach new duties.”
Suppose that Finn Clayborn dropped out of Harvard University to start a company in Silicon Valley that developed and sold finger-prick blood-test kits. Clayborn raised millions from investors by claiming that his new technology would revolutionize blood testing by providing a full range of laboratory tests from a few drops of blood. The kits were marketed as a better alternative to traditional, more expensive lab tests ordered by physicians. They were sold at drugstores for a few dollars each and touted as a way for consumers to test their blood type and monitor their cholesterol, iron, and many other conditions. Within six years, Clayborn and his company were making millions. But complaints started rolling in that the test kits didn’t work and the results were not accurate (because more blood was needed). Numerous consumers, drugstores, and government agencies sued the company for fraudulent and misleading marketing practices. Clayborn’s profitable start-up now faces an uncertain future.
The goal of business ethics is not to stifle innovation. There is nothing unethical about a company selling an idea or technology that is still being developed. In fact, that’s exactly what many successful start-ups do—take a promising idea and develop it into a reality. But businesspersons also need to consider what will happen if new technologies do not work. Do they go ahead with production and sales? What are the ethical problems with putting a product on the market that does not function as advertised? To be sure, there is not always one clear answer to an ethical question. What is clear is that rushing to production and not thinking through ...

Introduction
Business ethics is a field that calls for ethical conduct when managers, supervisors, and workers are meeting the daily duties. This in compliance with applicable laws and organization’s code of conduct at all times regardless of the circumstances of a specific situation (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2014). Ethical conduct is helpful to an organization as it helps it avoid backlashes that might surface as a result of an unethical conduct. In light of this, low and high-ranking employees should have a self-drive in upholding ethical conduct in all situations. The following section looks into the ethical make-up of giving or taking a bribe for business purposes while utilizing the Project Management Institute (PMI) steps for arriving for to an ethical decision.
Discussion
The first step entails making an assessment. This is the process where one gathers facts about the ethical dilemma mainly regarding implications on the law and policies. In this case, bribing in the country for business purposes is not perceived illegal but does not abide with the organization’s code of ethics and also does not align with ethical values fostered by the organization. Bribing is normally perceived unethical as individuals are likely to overlook best practices when meeting business goals (Kenny, 2013). They are not held accountable after bribing their way through hence likely to put consumers at risk of harm that may result. In this step, it is worth noting that an individual can as well examine their personal values before committing to the action that need to be undertaken.
The second step entails examining the available alternatives. In this case, it can be seen that the competitors are willing to bribe their way through which is amounts to a threat. There are a number of alternatives that can be undertaken to counter the threat as follows. First, the government official can be involved in a session that will make him learn about advantages that will result if the business operates in the country. For instance, through corporate social responsibility the locals will benefit from a number of offers. Also, employment will be created. The official will be shown the big picture other than pocketing a bribe. Two, another alternative entails making the official learn about the ethical values of the organization that should not be violated in any case. One needs to show him utmost commitment to the values and make him understand the weight of the compromise that needs to be done. More so, he can be shown the impact that might be suffered by the organization in the event that the action is known to the public.
The third step entails making an analysis. In the event that the action backfires, there will be a negative impact suffered by the organization such as facing litigation as well as tarnishing the org.

Assignment 3:
The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace
Due Week 10 and worth 280 points
The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics.
You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace.
Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:
Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.
Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws.
State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce.
Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce.
Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
Overview
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to discriminate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
Most employers with at least 15 employees are covered by EEOC laws (20 employees in age discrimination cases). Most labor unions and employment agencies are also covered.
The laws apply to all types of work situations, including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits.
Authority & Role
The EEOC has the authority to investigate charges of discrimination against employers who are covered by the law. Our role in an investigation is to fairly and accurately assess the allegations in the charge and then make a finding. If we find that discrimination has occurred, we will try to settle the charge. If we aren't successful, we have the authority to file a lawsuit to protect the rights of individuals and the interests of the public. We do not, however, file lawsuits in all cases where we find discrimination.
We also work to prevent discrimination before it occurs through outreach, education and technical assistance programs.
The EEOC provides leadership and guidance to .

Mini Case
IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in
place are going to be substantial,” he said.
But it was the second strategic thrust that was going to give him nightmares, he
predicted. How on earth did they expect him to put direct-to-customer sales in place
so they could sell “green” electric meters to individual users? His attention was jerked
back to the present by a flashy new logo on an easel that the CEO had just unveiled.
“In keeping with our updated strategy, may I present our new name—MM!”
Johnson announced portentously.
“Oh, this is just great,” thought Brian. “Now I have to go into every single applica-
tion and every single document this company produces and change our name!”
Because of its age and scientific orientation, ModMeters (as he still preferred to
call it) had been in the IT business a long time. Starting back in the early 1960s, the

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.).

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age, Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet. He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United States of America, McKay started to experience things that he did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking real issues and letting his readers understand what was happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore the unique problems that the African Americans faced.

: For your forum post, distinguish the way the media was utilized by terrorist organizations in the past to advance their objectives to that being employed today. Specifically address both the pre-9/11 style terrorist means of communication and influence and contrast them with the current day terrorist internet/social media based methods.
Reply to each post there are TWO of them
*150 words min each*
1. For centuries, decades, and years now terrorist organizations has used the media to spread their message across the world, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. According, to Felger and Lesinger, “The media do not create terrorism, but certain actions of the media can facilitate the achievement of the strategic goals of terrorist groups” (Felger & Lesinger, 2017). Terrorists’ organizations utilize media outlets such as local and international newspapers and television. The ultimate goal of terrorists groups is to create fear and terror in order to get their message across whether it’s for religion or political reasons. We all know that the media is a powerful tool that sometimes could be misleading. Before the creation of the Internet terrorist would use newspapers, radio stations, and even word of mouth to spread their news. As one can imagine those methods took a while to spread throughout the local community or world. In addition, the facts and small details became lost in the translation of the events that actually took place. In the past terrorists used, rebel radio stations, television, underground newspapers, flyers, posters, and other types of publications to communicate, recruit, train, as a means to spread propaganda (Hoffman, 2006, p. 199).
Terrorist organizations has always used the media to spread propaganda or their agendas, however the 9/11 attacks has forever changed how terrorist organizations utilized the media to spread their fears on a global scale. In today’s society technology has made it a lot easier for terrorist organizations to spread their word and intentions. Just about every person in the world is carrying a smartphone. Smartphones allows individuals to access media outlets at all times. Information can be passed on through smartphones in a matter of seconds. In today’s society terrorist organizations also uses social media to help spread their intentions. They also use social media platforms to recruit and post training videos. In conclusion, after reading this week’s lesson we can determine that before social media, the internet and advance technology it was a lot harder for terrorist groups to spread their intentions, however they still made it happen.
2. In our discussion this week we must analyze the way terrorist organizations “utilized” the media in the past. I specifically highlight the word “utilize” because that’s exactly what terrorist organizations did. They used the media for their own benefit. In

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two c.docxendawalling
Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke.
Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following:
• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables.
• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative?
• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children?
• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family.
• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

BUS 206 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Business law impacts our everyday lives, both
personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts,
manufacture goods, sell services and products,
and engage in employment and labor practices—activities that
must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing
and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial
relationships and avoid potential problems in the business
world.
Prompt: Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office
that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You
will review the case studies and
compose a short report for each, applying your legal knowledge
and understanding of the types of business organizations. In
each of the three reports, you will
focus on areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One
focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics.
4. Case Study One: Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California,
have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion
called Funny Face over the internet. They
contract with Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to
manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets
with a representative from
Novelty Now to design the product and to plan marketing and
distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin,
Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute
PYR (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) for the compound in
Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved.
Funny Face is marketed nationally on the
radio and in newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook.
Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys
one bottle of Funny Face over the
internet. After he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade
of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin
Empire Inc., file suit in the
state of New York against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt,
and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and
compensation for the damage to his face
and business reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused
Margolin’s skin discoloration. The website for Funny Face
states that anyone buying their product
cannot take Chris, Matt, and Ian to court. Novelty Now’s
contract with the three men states that all disputes must be
brought in the state of Florida.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
A. Apply the rules of jurisdiction to the facts of this case and
determine what jurisdiction(s) would be appropriate for
Margolin’s lawsuit against Funny Face
5. and Novelty Now, respectively. Consider federal court, state
court, and long arm principles in your analysis.
B. Assume all parties agree to pursue alternative dispute
resolution (ADR). Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of
two types of ADR appropriate for
this case. Be sure to define the characteristics of each in your
answer.
C. Applying what you have learned about ADR, which type
would each party (Funny Face, Novelty Now, and Margolin)
prefer and why?
D. Apply concepts of criminal law and discuss whether or not
corporations and/or corporate officers may be held liable for
criminal acts.
E. Identify, per the classification of crimes in the text, any
potential criminal acts by Funny Face and/or Novelty Now.
F. Assume the use of the emulsifier PYR, at the direction of
Chris, is a criminal offense. Apply concepts of criminal law and
discuss the potential criminal
liability of Funny Face, Chris, Matt, Ian, and Novelty Now.
Include support for your conclusion.
G. Apply at least three guidelines of ethical decision-making
to evaluate ethical issues within the case study.
