Abstract Microsoft has been investigated several times for antitrust violations. While most of those cases led nowhere, there was one suit brought forth that “the US articulated a compelling story of anticompetitive activity…” (Lopatka, 2008, para 1). Microsoft’s questionable practices were brought into light and determined to be in violation of the Sherman Act. This paper discusses what antitrust claims were made and whether those claims were valid. Microsoft and Antitrust Violations The purpose of antitrust statues is to preserve and promote free market competition in the United States (Mallor, Barnes, Bowers, & Langvardt, 2010).
a. Receiving a zero for the course b. Having a college degree revoked after the fact c. Being sued by the author of the plagiarized, original work That's Correct! Almost anything can happen to plagiarists; the outcome is usually very negative. While there is no guarantee of getting caught, plagiarists ultimately hurt themselves by not learning to write skillfully or think independently.
Stolzer and articles are not persuasive and begin on the wrong foot by claiming that ADHD is an epidemic in this country, however, I would not go as far as saying that this is an epidemic yet. She also claims that ADHD behaviour is normal for an adolescent boy, but how can it be normal is currently is being treated widespread as a mental disorder? Surely not all of these people are wrong. Stolzer states that in 1950s ADHD were not in existence, however, research by Mark Elf Ullrich is proven, in his article attention deficit hyperactivity disorder the most studied yet most controversial diagnosis that reports of ADHD like behaviour have been dated back to as early as 1980 (Wolraich, M. L. 1999). Stolzer forgets to mention is that ADHD has been an old documents disorder that has just been coined with seemingly appropriate name.
Addressing International Legal and Ethical Issues Simulation Summary July 9,2012 Law 421 David Tiffany What legal issues are similar in the 3 cases? The similarity of legal issues involved in the three cases presented in my opinion would be negligence and establishing legal and ethical liabilities for international transactions across the globe. In the simulation Cadmex is looking to acquire exclusive global market rights to the anti-diabetic agent ProPrez which was established in Candore. The Ionia case is a mixture of criminal conduct as well as negligence, the Jamaican ship falsified the Oil Record Books (ORB) in foreign ports which caused an ethical dilemma(oil pollution). The third case refers to Pfizer’s 1996 case that took place in Northern Nigeria during an epidemic of bacterial meningitis.
Presented in the argument above, the author claims that a new store should be built in Plainsville. The argument seems at first glance to be a reasonable decision. After a careful inspection, however, one will find that it suffers from several critical flaws as follows, rendering it logically unconvincing as it stands. The threshold flaw with the argument is that the author unfairly assumes residents in P (Plainsville) do highly concerned with leading healthy lives, upon which he finally draws his conclusion. Although the author offers several facts, which seems to be compelling to substantiate his conclusion, these facts actually lend little credence to the author’s claim after close scrutiny.
Many companies selling these products make claims, for example, that creatine monohydrate is poorly absorbed and or poorly metabolized by the body. This is simply untrue: research has found that creatine monohydrate is highly absorbable. Some claim less “bloating” or other supposed effects of monohydrate, but don’t have a drop of data to support the claim, or even a feasible theory as to why their form would not have the effect vs. the monohydrate form. They often claim dramatically improved absorption over monohydrate (without data), fewer side effects (without data), the ability to reduce the number of non-responders to creatine (without data), etc. Are you starting to see a theme here?!
The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional because it did not give the presidential administrations the power to remove board members (Younglai et al., 2010). Another major con of SOX is the cost to comply with the audit requirement. Many lawmakers fear that these costs are pushing firms to move their operation oversees (Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (n.d.). Overall, SOX has caused companies to be more forthcoming with their financial data at the same time instilling more confidence from the public.
Vidal's essay , admittedly is a good piece of writing but it does not provide for the reader a clear outline of why drugs should be legalized, aside from the notion that people's right to choice whether to be addicts or not. "Along with exhortation and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall (or learn for the first time) that the United States was the creation of men who believed that each man has the
“False Confessions … The Unfortunate Truth” “False Confessions … The Unfortunate Truth” Rick Riso Interviewing & Interrogation / Topic Paper Argosy University – Los Angeles Professor David Campbell November 2010 In today’s criminal justice system, even though legislation exists which attempts to minimize things like unjustified arrests, unwarranted prosecution and even wrongful convictions, there is cumulative evidence of false confessions which continue to present troublesome legal issues. Not only is there presently no official way to monitor the increased frequency of what some have referred to as “police-induced” false confessions, but an apparent disregard for this growing problem as well as the corresponding increase in wrongful convictions which have occurred as a result. The substantial loss to individuals as well as to society as a result of these false confessions has yet to be calculated but it
Although Clinton’s scandal was unprofessional, it was not a great enough cause for impeachment. Both cases have affected the government; Johnson’s trial have caused a closer speculation by our government to review bills and acts before they are passed so an unconstitutional act will not be passed again; Clinton’s trial may have expressed that the President’s private life may not affect how he performs his presidential duties. The impeachments of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton have similarities and differences, but both have had a positive effect of the United States
