2) Evan Smith experienced a heart attack in the emergency room of Baptist Memorial Hospital after being given a dose of penicillin for a sore throat. Smith sued the attending physician as well as the hospital. The hospital called itself a full-service hospital with emergency room facilities. Baptist Memorial did not consider the doctors to be its agents. For tax and accounting purpose the doctors were not treated as employees of the hospital. Based on this information, discuss whether the doctors who treated patients in the emergency room were agents of the hospital.
3) Justin Jones suffered from genital herpes and sought treatment from Dr. Steven Baisch of Region West Pediatric Services. A nurse assistant, Jennifer Hallgren, who was a Region West employee, told her friends and some of Jones’s friends about Jones’s condition. This was a violation of the Region West employee handbook, which required employees to maintain the confidentiality of patients’ records. Jones filed suit in a federal district court against Region West, among others, alleging that Region West should be held liable for its employee’s actions on the basis of Respondeat Superior. On what basis might the court hold that Region West was not liable for Hallgren’s acts? Discuss fully.
4) California Consumers Co. purchased from S.L.Coker an ice distributing business in the city of Santa Monica. In the purchase agreement, Coker agreed that he would not engage in the business of selling or distributing ice either directly or indirectly in Santa Monica, so long as the purchasers or any later purchasers remained in the business. Imperial Ice Co. acquired the ice distributing business from California Consumers. Coker subsequently began selling ice in the same territory. The ice was supplied to him by a company owned by Rosner and Matheson on very attractive terms, because they wanted to break into the territory. Imperial Ice sued to obtain an injunction to restrain Coker from violating his original contract. Did Rosner induce Coker to violate his contract and were they therefore liable for the tort of wrongful interference with contractual relations? Explain.

Medical Ethics
Utilitarianism
Concluding Kant’s Theory
Moral Rights –
He expresses these as positive and negative rights. Or “freedom from” and “freedom to”
The rights to privacy, to not being killed, to not have our stuff taken from us, etc are all seen as negative rights.
The rights to education, medical care, food, housing and a fair trial are all seen as positive rights.
Kant points out that without both types of rights the categorical imperative would not work. In other words anything that you could will to universal law must not violate either set of rights.
Utilitarianism: Bentham
Bentham points out that two of the governing impulses in human nature are those of pain and pleasure. Within this we have a natural inclination towards pleasure and an avoidance of pain.
Bentham said that the purpose of morality is to maximize human happiness, as measured by pleasure and pain.
This being said Bentham didn’t have a strict structure of right and wrong but only that the right action was dependent upon the yield of greatest net happiness of all the alternatives.
Utility Principle
Idea put forth by John Stuart Mill. Essentially it states that the right act is that which creates the greatest good for the greatest number.
The most basic premise of utilitarianism is that acts are right in proportion to the amount of pleasure they produce while minimizing the amount of pain.
Moral Rights and the Harm Principle
Mill held that individual freedom be it of thought, speech, taste, action and political assembly was of the highest importance.
Individual freedom could only be curtailed by the harm principle.
“…the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.” (45)
To prevent harm to others individual freedoms can be limited.
Bentham in Bhutan
In the 1970’s the King of Bhutan decided that the Gross National Product (GNP) wasn’t the best way to determine the economic health of his country. He decided that using a system to determine the GNH (Gross National Happiness) was a more appropriate measure for the health of his nation. After developing a complex way of measuring a number of factors it was put into place. With updates done every couple of years.
Social interests
Utilitarianism is much different from egoism in that it wants to put the focus on maximum collective pleasure and minimum collective pain. In this they mean that all persons impacted by a decision or action must be taken into account to determine the correct action.
Preference Satisfaction
Not all pleasures are equal and often times it is said that not all potential pleasures need be judge on the same scale. It is pointed out that often times it is whether the greater problem is not fulfilling ones preferences because we no longer have that option.
And as Peter Singer points out we are not all equal actors either with regard to potential pleasures or ...

1) The court will likely agree with the Kleins and find Pyrodyne Corp strictly liable because any company discharging powerful explosives like fireworks near crowds cannot eliminate the inherent risk of injury, regardless of the care exercised.
2) The court will likely find that the Blues have standing to sue because the injuries and damages they are seeking to recover - monies expended on medical claims attributable to tobacco-related illnesses - are different than those suffered by individual smokers and could form the basis of determining liability and damages.

This document discusses the development of personality rights and breach of confidence in the United Kingdom. It defines personality rights as protecting an individual's name, image, and likeness from commercial exploitation without permission. Breach of confidence refers to the unauthorized disclosure of private information. The document traces how personality rights emerged in European law and discusses recent UK cases where celebrities' claims over the use of their image or private information were rejected due to the lack of clear personality rights laws. It argues that UK law does not consistently protect celebrities and that a clear tort is needed to address personality rights and privacy issues.

This document summarizes the history of property insurance availability issues in urban areas and the legislative efforts to address them. It describes how riots in the 1960s exacerbated insurance unavailability in cities. Voluntary urban plans had limited success. The 1968 Urban Property Protection and Reinsurance Act aimed to increase availability through state FAIR plans and federal riot reinsurance. It required states and insurers to cooperate on availability plans in exchange for federal reinsurance of riot losses. The goal was to encourage private investment in cities and stabilize the insurance industry.

This document is a memorandum from the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia and the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression opposing a motion by Hargrave Military Academy seeking a preliminary injunction against Jerry and Melissa Guyles. The Guyles criticized Hargrave and its leadership on a website after their son was expelled. The memorandum argues that the requested injunction would be an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech that is overly broad and vague in violation of the First Amendment and federal rules. It maintains that the Guyles speech is mostly opinion and statements of undisputed fact that are protected, and an injunction of the scope Hargrave seeks would fail to distinguish protected from unprotected speech.
The summary discusses the reasons behind consumers' need for balance and their motivation to post positive online reviews.

The document discusses the phenomenon of "compensation culture" in the UK, where there has been an increase in claims for compensation in negligence cases. It examines how courts have reacted to this trend. Specifically, it notes that the Compensation Act 2006 allows courts to consider the wider social impacts of claims. Several cases are discussed where courts have denied claims, finding accidents rather than liability. The document also explores the legal tests of duty of care, including the Anns test and Caparo test, which courts must consider in these types of negligence claims regarding compensation culture.
The document discusses learning sign language and communication. It notes that understanding another person requires knowing their language or learning it. Social context can impact how easily a language is learned. Dogs are able to communicate to some degree without a true language. Chimpanzees can learn sign language and teach it to others. Humans are hardwired to communicate through crying from a young age, which has impacted our survival. Dogs are also hardwired to bury things even if kept inside.
Causation in fact is the starting point for determining liability in negligence claims. There must be a causal link between the defendant's actions and the claimant's loss. Causation in fact is evaluated using the "but for" test - but for the defendant's actions, would the loss have occurred? If the loss would have occurred regardless, then factual causation is not established. However, in cases of exposure to toxic substances like asbestos where determining the specific cause is difficult, courts have modified the causation standard so that liability can be apportioned among all possible tortfeasors. An intervening act can break the chain of causation if it was not reasonably foreseeable, such as an unexpected act of vandal

Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

He had said, after all, in the hubbub of parting: I am your father, I will never abandon you. He had said that, hadn’t he, when he hugged and then let her go. But at the moment Cleófilas was busy looking for Chela, her maid of honor, to fulfill their bouquet conspiracy. She would not remember her father’s parting words until later. I am your father, I will never abandon you.

The document discusses whether the tort of intentional trespass should be included in common law. It provides examples from past cases where the courts found defendants liable for intentional acts that caused physical or emotional harm. These include battery, false imprisonment, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, pure economic loss, and nuisance. The document argues that precedents from these cases could help guide future similar cases if the tort of intentional trespass is recognized in common law.

The document discusses the phenomenon of "compensation culture" in the UK, where there has been an increase in claims for compensation in negligence cases. It examines how courts have reacted to this trend. Specifically, it notes that the Compensation Act 2006 allows courts to consider the wider social impacts of claims. Several cases are discussed where courts have denied claims, finding accidents rather than liability. The document also explores the legal tests of duty of care, including the Anns test and Caparo test, which courts must consider in these types of negligence claims regarding compensation culture.
The document discusses learning sign language and communication. It notes that understanding another person requires knowing their language or learning it. Social context can impact how easily a language is learned. Dogs are able to communicate to some degree without a true language. Chimpanzees can learn sign language and teach it to others. Humans are hardwired to communicate through crying from a young age, which has impacted our survival. Dogs are also hardwired to bury things even if kept inside.
Causation in fact is the starting point for determining liability in negligence claims. There must be a causal link between the defendant's actions and the claimant's loss. Causation in fact is evaluated using the "but for" test - but for the defendant's actions, would the loss have occurred? If the loss would have occurred regardless, then factual causation is not established. However, in cases of exposure to toxic substances like asbestos where determining the specific cause is difficult, courts have modified the causation standard so that liability can be apportioned among all possible tortfeasors. An intervening act can break the chain of causation if it was not reasonably foreseeable, such as an unexpected act of vandal

Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

Running head: AUDITING INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROCESS Auditing information systems process Student’s Name University Affiliation Auditing information systems 2process Information systems are the livelihood of any huge business. As in past years, computer systems do not simply record transactions of business, but essentially drive the main business procedures of the enterprise. In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docxLynellBull52
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.
·

· Perceptual process is a process through manager receive organize and interpret information. According to this case, after Andrea decided quit this job, Sam chose Grant for the manager position from three candidates, even he is not very suitable for this position, because Sam strongly believes the manager have to be a full time based on previous customer experience(He believed that you can’t be a part time manager and that his customers would think Vibe was not a serious company if he appointed a part time manager for marketing and public relations-Sam Nguyen) Moreover Sam thought Grant could Increase himself-awareness to achieve demonstrate good relationship with customer.
· Job satisfaction is a collection of positive or negative felling that an individual holds toward their job. In this case, Andrea is a good example of having a negative felling of her job. ( Sam’s only criticism of her was that she seemed to live to work). Because Sam does not care about the employee satisfaction, Andrea can not get more spiritual benefit even get good salary. People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Short Answer 5 points each 100 words each1) Elton.docx
1. Short Answer 5 points each 100 words each
1) Elton is a limited partner in Destiny Tours, a limited
partnership. Collection Credit Company, a Destiny creditor,
claims that Eton is subject to personal liability for Destiny's
debts because Elton is subject to personal liability for Destiny's
debts because Elton has the right, as a limited partner to take
control of the firm. Is Collection Credit correct? Explain your
answer.
2) Evan Smith experienced a heart attack in the emergency
room of Baptist Memorial Hospital after being given a dose of
penicillin for a sore throat. Smith sued the attending physician
as well as the hospital. The hospital called itself a full-service
hospital with emergency room facilities. Baptist Memorial did
not consider the doctors to be its agents. For tax and accounting
purpose the doctors were not treated as employees of the
hospital. Based on this information, discuss whether the
doctors who treated patients in the emergency room were agents
of the hospital.
3) Justin Jones suffered from genital herpes and sought
treatment from Dr. Steven Baisch of Region West Pediatric
Services. A nurse assistant, Jennifer Hallgren, who was a
Region West employee, told her friends and some of Jones’s
friends about Jones’s condition. This was a violation of the
Region West employee handbook, which required employees to
2. maintain the confidentiality of patients’ records. Jones filed suit
in a federal district court against Region West, among others,
alleging that Region West should be held liable for its
employee’s actions on the basis of Respondeat Superior. On
what basis might the court hold that Region West was not liable
for Hallgren’s acts? Discuss fully.
4) California Consumers Co. purchased from S.L.Coker an
ice distributing business in the city of Santa Monica. In the
purchase agreement, Coker agreed that he would not engage in
the business of selling or distributing ice either directly or
indirectly in Santa Monica, so long as the purchasers or any
later purchasers remained in the business. Imperial Ice Co.
acquired the ice distributing business from California
Consumers. Coker subsequently began selling ice in the same
territory. The ice was supplied to him by a company owned by
Rosner and Matheson on very attractive terms, because they
wanted to break into the territory. Imperial Ice sued to obtain an
injunction to restrain Coker from violating his original
contract. Did Rosner induce Coker to violate his contract and
were they therefore liable for the tort of wrongful interference
with contractual relations? Explain.
5) As a beginning songwriter and performer, you are
convinced that a certain model of guitar is what you need to
turn the musical world on its ear. Chick's Music store advertises
the item but because the store is sold out when you get there,
you accept a rain check signed by Daria, one of the employees.
You return to the store one month later, but Chuck refuses to
honor the rain check. Under the UCC would you win your suit
to enforce the contract? Why or Why not?
3. 6) On May 1, you contract orally with Johnny, a salesperson
with Keyboards Emporium, to buy for $450 an electric organ for
your personal enjoyment with delivery to occur on July 1. On
May 15, you ask for delivery on June 1 and Johnny agrees. But
delivery does not occur on June 1. The store later tells you
delivery will be on July 1 as agreed in the first place. Under the
UCC which delivery date is binding? Explain. Would there be a
difference under common law contracts? Explain
ESSAY 10 points each 300 words each
1) John H. Surratt was one of John Wilkes Booth’s alleged
accomplices in the murder of President Lincoln. On April 29,
1865, the Secretary of War issued and caused to be published in
newspapers the following proclamation: “$25,000 reward for the
apprehension of John H. Surratt and liberal rewards for any
information that leads to the arrest of John H. Surratt.” On
November 24, 1865, President Johnson revoked the reward and
published the revocation in the newspapers. Henry B. St. Marie
learned of the reward but left for Rome prior to its
revocation. In Rome, St. Marie discovered Surratt’s
whereabouts. In April, 1866 unaware that the reward had been
revoked, he reported this information to U.S. officials. Based on
this information Surratt was arrested. The government denied
St. Marie the reward.
a. Should Marie have received the reward? Explain. Be sure
to include in the discussion any theories of recovery Marie
would argue as well as those the government would use to
defeat Marie.
b. If Marie were to get the award, would he be entitled to the
4. full $25,000? Explain.
c. What if this had occurred in the year 2010 and the reward
was published not in a newspaper but on the Internet as was the
revocation. Would the result be the same? Would it be the same
if the award was published on the Internet, but the revocation in
the newspaper? Explain
2) Stephen Brooks was employed as a sales representative
for the Bob King Mitsubishi car dealership. Reba Stanley, age
eighteen, met with Brooks to test drive a Mitsubishi pickup
truck. During the test drive, Brooks assaulted Stanley “by
touching and grabbing her arms, hands, groin area, and breasts.
He also exposed his genitals and placed her hand on his private
parts.” When they returned from the test drive, Brooks took her
to the Mitsubishi service department “and exposed himself
again and tried to force her to touch him.” Stanley was able to
free herself and left the dealership. Brooks was later convicted
on charges arising out of the incident. Stanley sued both Brooks
and the car dealership, claiming the she suffered intentional
infliction of emotional distress.
a. What must Stanley prove in order to win her case and
why.
b. The dealership argued that the case against them should
be dropped as they were not responsible for Brook’s actions,
and asked the court to grant a motion for summary
judgment. The defense argues that the motion should be denied
under the doctrine of “respondeat superior”. Should the court
grant the motion? If so why or if not why not?

1) Danny and Marion Klein were injured when an aerial
shell at a public fireworks exhibit went astray and exploded
near them. They sued Pyrodyne Corp., the pyrotechnic company
that was hired to set up and discharged the fireworks, alleging,
among other things, that the company should be strictly liable
for damages caused by the fireworks display. Will the court
agree with the Kleins?
6. a. Yes, because any time a person ignites aerial shells with
the intention of sending them aloft to explode in the presence of
large crowds knows that injuries can occur.
b. Yes, because no matter how much care pyro technicians
exercise they cannot eliminate the high risk inherent in setting
off powerful explosives such as fireworks near crowds.
c. No, because anyone who attends a fireworks display
assumes the risk for the potential of injury that may occur.
d. No, because all six of the factors needed to prove strict
liability was not present.
2) Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance companies (the
Blues) provide 68 million Americans with health-care
financing. The Blues have paid billions of dollars for care
attributable to illnesses related to tobacco use. In an attempt to
recover some of this amount, the Blues filed a suit in federal
district court against tobacco companies and others, alleging
fraudulent misrepresentation, and negligence among other
things. The Blues claimed that beginning in 1953, the
defendants conspired to addict millions of Americans, including
members of Blue Cross Plans, to cigarettes and other tobacco
products. The conspiracy involved misrepresentation about the
safety of nicotine and its addictive properties, marketing efforts
targeting children, and agreements not to produce or market
safer cigarettes. The defendants’ success caused lung, throat,
and other cancers, as well as heart disease, stroke, emphysema,
and other illnesses. The defendants asked the court to dismiss
the case on the grounds that the plaintiffs did not have the
standing to sue. Do the Blues have standing to sue?
a. No, because the any injury to the plaintiffs was indirect
and too remote to permit them to recover.
b. No, because Blue’s injuries would be derivative of the
7. smokers personal injuries and thus be impossible to separate
from the smokers injuries.
c. Yes, because the injuries and damages asked for from
Blue were different than those suffered by smokers, in that they
are asking to recover for monies expended in medical claims,
and thus could be the basis of a case for the court to determine.
d. Yes, because Blues argue that the cigarette industry
involved them in a conspiracy to addict smokers and thus there
injuries were foreseeable and directly related attributable to the
defendants behavior.
3) The First Amendment protects Marco and others from
a. Dissemination of obscene materials and speech that
harms their good reputations or violates state criminal laws.
b. Dissemination of obscene materials only.
c. Speech that harms their good reputations or violates state
criminal laws only.
d. Neither dissemination of obscene materials nor speech
that harms their good reputations or violates state criminal laws.
4) You see a spot in the market for a video game outlet. You
open “GameBox” to profit from local sales, rentals, and
exchanges. Hott Games Company promises to ship you a certain
assortment of games and gear for your grand opening. Despite
the contract, Hott does not ship as agreed, and your opener is a
bust, costing you a lot of money. Which remedies are available
8. to you?
a. Money damages
b. Specific performance
c. Cancellation of the contract
d. All of the above
5) Three –year- old Randy Welch climbed up to a shelf and
picked up a disposable butane cigarette lighter. Randy then used
the lighter to ignite a flame, which set fire to his pajama
top. Welch and his parents brought a negligence suit against the
lighter’s manufacturer claiming that the defendants had a duty
to put child safety features on the lighter. Scripto-Tokai Co.,
the defendant raised the defense that the risks attending the
lighter were sufficiently “open and obvious” that the
manufacturer did not need to warn of those risks. If you were
the judge, how would you decide this issue?
a. In favor of Scripto because the open and obvious danger
rule says a manufacturer is liable only for defects which are
hidden and not normally observable.
b. In favor of Scripto because everyone knows that lighters
are dangerous and should be kept out of the hands of children.
c. Welch because he put the lighter out the reach of his
child in an effort to protect him from potential danger and he
was hurt anyway.
d. Welch because under strict liability the lighter company
knew that the lighter was inherently dangerous and should be
9. held responsible.
6) Red Owl Stores, Inc. induced the Hoffman’s to give up
their current successful business to run a Red Owl Franchise.
Although no contract was ever signed, the Hoffman’s incurred
numerous expenses in excess of $5,000 based on Red Owl’s
representations. When the deal ultimately fell through because
of Red Owl’s failure to keep its promise concerning the
operation of the franchise agency store, the Hoffman’s brought
suit to recover their losses from the business they left behind
and their out of pocket expenses on the Red Owl project. Will
the Hoffman’s recover any or all of their money?
a. No, the Hoffman’s cannot recover anything because the
Statute of Frauds should apply.
b. No, because the business they left behind was not part of
the contract with Red Owl.
c. Yes, the can recover everything under the doctrine of
promissory estoppel.
d. Yes, they can recover their out of pocket expenses on the
Red Owl project because they relied to their detriment on Red
Owl.
7) Owens, a federal prisoner, was transferred from federal
prison to the Nassau County Jail pursuant to a contract between
the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the county. The contract
included a policy statement that required the receiving prison to
provide for the safekeeping and protection of the transferred
federal prisoners. While in the Nassau County Jail, Owens was
10. beaten severely by prison guards and suffered lacerations,
bruises, and a lasting impairment that caused blackouts. Can
Owens, as a third party beneficiary, sue the county for breach of
its agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?
a. Yes, because the intention to benefit a third party may be
gleaned from the contract as a whole.
b. No, because while the contract implies the intention to
benefit a third party it does not specifically identify which
party.
c. Yes, because the contract was made to benefit third
parties and it is not necessary to identify the third party.
d. No, because Owen was a mere incidental beneficiary to
the contract.
8) Patricia Aiken suffered a heart attack and was
hospitalized at Phoenix Baptist Hospital and Medical Center,
Inc. Later she passed away. At the time of her admission, the
Aiken’s told the hospital that they did not have the money to
pay for medical care. At the same time, Patricia’s husband,
Thomas, signed an agreement to pay her medical expenses. He
did not read what he signed, no one explained the agreement
and he later claimed that he was so upset that he couldn’t
remember signing anything. When the bills were not paid, the
hospital filed suit. Will the Aiken’s have to pay the hospital?
a. Yes, because the hospital relied on the signed agreement
and performed.
b. No, because while there was a written agreement the
performance resulted in Mrs. Aiken’s demise.
11. c. Yes, because even though the hospital was aware of the
Aiken’s lack of funds, Mr. Aiken should have known when he
took his wife to the hospital that they did not give care for free.
d. No, because the agreement was an adhesion contract
obtained under circumstances that made it unenforceable and it
was not explained to him at the time by the hospital.
9) Steven Lanci was involved in an automobile accident with
an uninsured motorist. Lanci was insured with Metropolitan
Insurance Co., although he did not have a copy of the insurance
policy. Lanci told Metropolitan that he did not have a copy of
the policy and entered into negotiations with them in the
meantime. Ultimately Lanci settled for $15,000, noting in a
letter to Metropolitan that this was the “sum you represented to
be the…policy limits applicable to the claim.” After signing a
release, Lanci learned that the policy limits were actually
$250,000 and he refused to accept the settlement
proceeds. Lanci argued that the release had been signed as a
result of a mistake and therefore is unenforceable. Should the
court enforce the contract?
a. Yes, because Lanci as a reasonable person should have
known what the policy limits were.
b. Yes, because Lanci entered into the negotiations knowing
that he did not have a copy of the policy and he assumed the
risk of being unprepared.
c. No, because ethically Metropolitan should have given
him another copy before the negotiations.
d. No, because Metropolitan knew the policy limits, knew
12. that Lanci thought them to be $15,000 and that he entered into
the contract because of that mistake of a material fact.
10) Southard was stranded in Hawaii as a result of an airline
strike. He had purchased a round trip ticket before leaving his
home in Denver. He sued the union for tortuous interference
with his contract with airline and sought to recover the
additional expense he incurred on another airline. Was the
union liable to Mr. Southward?
a. The union was liable because they were the proximate
cause of Mr. Southward's need to spend additional monies to
return home.
b. The union was liable because they intentionally tried to
prevent Mr. Southward from returning home.
c. The union is not liable because the strike was legal and
therefore one of the permitted interferences with a contractual
or business relationship.
d. Both A and B
11) Glen Grove brought a 1936 Pontiac from Bernard
Stanfield. Stanfield signed the certificate of title, which stated
that the car was sold for $1,000. No other terms of sale were
mentioned in the certificate, and none were incorporated by
reference. Three years later, Stanfield filed suit against Grove
in a Missouri State Court, claiming that Grove still owed $9,000
for the price of the car. At trial, Stanfield testified that he and
Grove had an oral agreement by which Grove was to pay $1,000
for the “title document” and $9,000 for the actual car. The court
13. entered a judgment for Stanfield. What will happen on appeal?
a. The court will uphold the entrance of the parole evidence
and keep the verdict for Stanfield intact.
b. The court will uphold the verdict for Stanfield because the
writing was not sufficient enough to constitute a written
contract so oral evidence can be heard to explain the terms of
the agreement.
c. The court will overturn the verdict of the lower court
because the title is a legally sufficient document to form a
contract. Oral evidence should not be allowed to amend the
terms of the contract.
d. The court will overturn the verdict because any reasonable
person would have not turned the title over to someone else
