He was keeping everyone informed in hopes that action would eventually be taken. Scanlan would take it upon himself to investigate why the recommendations were not being addressed only to be faced with the issue of politics being its driving force. The major issue for the dismissal of the reports by the inspectors from the mine in Illinois was politics. (Illinois Labor History Society, 2012) Scanlan resorted to recommending closing down the mine because of the ignoring of his reports by the administrator and officials. The saddest part of the Illinois mine disaster is that 111 lives have been altered forever in order for the government to be “politically correct” instead of doing what should have be done without even thinking of their own positions and how it would affect them.
When an employer is willing to fire an employee, he should make a report with basic information on the causes of the dismissal accordingly to the employee’s performance. In conclusion, I personally think that depending on the case we are dealing with, either one would be fair and just, but I strongly support that any dismissal has to have a strong reason for it to occur, can be professional or even personal, but a main reason and not just the will of a person. 2º a) Brief for Iron Dynamics Inc v.

It appears as though Ms. Tom is suing Kresge’s, Co. for negligence due to her slip and fall accident that happened in their store. She believes Kresge is liable for her injury because it occurred as a result of a condition created by Kresge’s "mode of operation." Mrs. Tom contends that Kresge’s should be held liable because the condition that she said caused the accident had existed for a length of time that if Kresge had exercised normal use of ordinary care, Kresge’s employees at the store should have known of the condition and taken action to remedy it. The “mode of operation” rule looks to a business’s choice of a particular mode of operation and not the particular events surrounding the plaintiff’s accident. Typically, under the rule, the plaintiff is not required to prove notice if the defendant

A result of tariffs on imported goods was that the exporting country would retaliate by imposing tariffs on imports. This would lead to a game of “one-upmanship”, with tariffs inching ever-higher, eventually leading to either a drastic reduction, or even cessation of trade. This choking of international trade eventually depressed world demand, and led to the Great Depression of the 1930s (Hill, 2009, p. 11). After World War II, the leading industrial nations decided to reduce or eliminate restrictions to free trade. One outcome of this effort was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trades (GATT).

This relates to doctors who demand a defined and specific diagnosis required for euthanasia. Lennie’s mental disorder is his fatal flaw. He is not a patient with terminal cancer, he is a patient with a deadly contagion with one confirmed death; Curley’s Wife. George is quarantining this disease when he kills George, protecting society and any future victims of Lennie’s innocent wrath. This form of euthanasia is not only an act of mercy towards Lennie, but towards any other potential victims.
