How does David Crystal win over so much logic and emotion from his audience? Do the rhetorical tools that Crystal uses aid in his overall success of the argument? Crystal is the author of many books on language such as “The Gr8 Db8” which discusses text language and its impact on society. The author’s undermined approach is shown through historical context, statistics and pathos to effectively reveal the mass spread of English, and the potential impact it will have on the world. Crystal connects with the audience to make them realize that something as simple as the language we speak, could have more of an impact on the world than ever imaginable.
EXCEPTIONS: overcome rule by finding a REAL promise - frame illusory promise as unilateral contract => enforceable ex. Gurfein (99): had window to cancel, but didn’t => enforceable ➢ COULD HAVE bound other party if exercise option - Implied promises ➢ UCC §2-306 (2): a contract to engage in exclusive dealing gives rise to an implied promise to use best efforts Ex. Wood v. Lucy (104): mkt designs for profits ➢ ct implied promise: to make reasonable efforts b/c w/o implied promise, the contract would be meaningless b/c structural agreement = incentive to use best effort is built in Ex. Grouse (110): promised at-will job, not allowed to start work ➢ implied promise in at-will jobs = “good faith opportunity to perform satisfactorily’ - Structural agreements Ex. Lacledes(106): supply propane for long period ➢ although not bound to purchase, practical binding exists ➢ pipes connected to Amoco supply source ➢ hostage theory of contracts: voluntarily
Contracts subject to an orally agreed-on condition precedent. As you will read in Chapter 17, sometimes the parties agree that a condition must be fulfilled before a party is required to perform the contract. This is called a condition precedent. If the parties have orally agreed on a condition precedent and the condition does not conflict with the terms of a written agreement, then a court may allow parol evidence to prove the oral condition. The parol evidence rule does not apply here because the existence of the entire written contract is subject to an orally agreed-on condition.
Armstrong’s failures to meet their obligation gives GCI three options: they may reject the entire shipment of goods, accept the shipment of goods as is, or accept any number of commercial units and reject the rest of the goods, (Melvin 2011, pg. 192). One right that is available to Armstrong is referred to as the cure. The cure is the UCC’s way of promoting the completion of an original contract. It would allow Armstrong (the seller) the right or opportunity to repair or replace any goods that the buyer (GCI) has rejected as long as the time period for performance has not
BCOM/230 Abstract This exercise explains what we would write differently to our top administrators. It also indicates the way the memo should change based on its audiences. What types of information should be included in this memo what types of information should be omitted. This exercise will point out the potential repercussions of failing to know the audiences. Review Memo to the Executive Vice-President This message should be short but complete coverage of the subject matter.
For example that piece of work was Wright, it should be that work was right, and spelling and grammar does not identify that mistake. Spelling and grammar mistakes can distract readers from the work that you put into your documents, so you want to eliminate these mistakes. Even so, you probably have your own preferences for how to use your Microsoft Office program to help you do this. You might prefer to check spelling all at once when you
If your program does not even run, you might try commenting out parts of the code so that you can test the working parts. If you believe that your work is complete, merely state that fact. Write something like “My program is complete according to all requirements of the assignment.” Be direct and explicit: Do not just write something like “It runs,” or “I didn’t see anything wrong with it,” or “I had some problems but I fixed them.” These are all right only if provided as comments after a direct conclusion about completeness. Note: If you claim that your work is complete and it is not complete in ways that you should have been able to detect, you will lose credit twice: once for the problems in the assignment and once for
One of the ways direct democracy is implemented in the UK is through the use of referendums. A referendum is called by the government to allow people to vote directly on an issue. One example of a recent referendum was the 2010 referendum to decide whether the UK should switch from the First past the post vote system to the AV system. The result was a 67.9% majority against changing the system. This shows hope the people can directly influence the way in which their democracy works and so is hence very democratic.
This leads Thomas to insinuate that only by doing something that would be considered impulsive and tradition breaking are we able to figure out who we are and what we want out of life. He however, seems to believe that all
Constitution being so vague in many areas, it appears that its power is derived by simply stating what is required and how things should work. By states adding so much detail, they clearly indicate that the detail is needed justify their powers given by the national government. With this detail comes the necessity for effective writing to ensure that clear guidelines are set. Similar to giving directions, if things aren’t precisely explained, it can lead to barriers in the legislative system and make the need for amendments even greater. A perfect example of this is in a 2009 amendment to the Ohio constitution covering the topic of casino’s in the state.
