Chou believed this sufficed for a contract, but apparently BTT did not because they sent a request for a draft copy of the distribution contract a month after Chou received the e-mail. Chou complied and found out months later that BTT changed management and were no longer interested in distributing STRAT (Melvin, 2011). The first question one might ask after reading the above scenario is at what point, if ever, did the parties have a contract? To answer this question one must examine the elements of
Stephanie Corona Mrs. Wallace English 2 Honors February 22, 2013 Gun Control & School Safety There are many important issues being faced by our nation today, but one of the most important issues facing the nation in the news today is school safety and gun control. This has been a controversy for the past couple of weeks due to shootings that have occurred in schools and public areas. There are also people who say that guns should be banned for those reasons and those who disagree on this. In which I will discuss into further detail here. My perspective on this is that there should most definitely be more school safety and a higher gun control system.
The new schedule was based loosely on seniority, but could change daily based on workload. Taylor informed his supervisor that he was leaving for church service and was warned that he would be terminated; Taylor left and was terminated the next day. In spite of Arlington accommodating Taylor’s schedule request for two years, the court ruled that the schedule change in 1987 should have been treated like a new instance and “all that was in place was an ad hoc arrangement contemplating that the inevitable collision between Taylor's religious beliefs and the company's new work schedule would be dealt with when it arose. […] Once the new schedule was implemented, the company should have made a reasonable attempt to accommodate his sincere religious needs” (Plaintiff-appellant v. Arlington Transit Mix, Inc., 1991).With the implementation of a new schedule policy, we should review what accommodations our company is willing to make due to the increased chance that associates may encounter instances that they need time off in order to observe religious beliefs. In 1977, the Supreme
Decision-Making Process Paper Christopher Michael Bunnell MGT 230 May 13, 2013 University of Phoenix Decision-Making Process Paper There are many major decisions I have made over my life, from enlisting into the Marine Corps to buying my current home. Each major decision I have made has used most of the six stages within the decision making process, which are diagnosing the problem, generating alternative solutions, evaluating alternatives, making the choice, implementing the decision and evaluating the decision (Bateman & Snell, 2011). For example, in summer of 2006 I decided it was time to not re-enlist within the Marine Corps and to move forward within the civilian sector. This was a huge decision to make and one I thought about for a few years before making it. When I began the decision making process, the problem I had diagnosed was I no longer wished to be away from my family for long extended periods of time.
The Development of Policing Taneka Lewis AJS/502 Timothy Cariker April 7, 2014 The Development of Policing Policing has been a major part of society for decades. Men and women across the United States risk their lives to ensure that people they know and do not know remain safe. The police and their place in government is a vital key in society. Our modern day law enforcement has continued to change as the demand for more peace rises. Thanks to a man named Sir Robert Peel we have today what is known as police departments, police officers, and police uniforms.
Step 1 – Define the problem When reviewing and revising cyber bullying policy for the city of St. Joseph, I took it upon myself to look at the past and present policy upon bullying and cyber bullying St. Joseph has in place. I looked at the St. Joseph School District policy and noticed the school policies defines bullying as “repeated and systematic intimidation, harassment and attacks on a student or multiple students, perpetuated by individuals or groups. Bullying includes but is not limited to: physical violence, verbal taunts, name calling, and put downs, threats, extortion or theft, damaging property and exclusion from a peer group”. I looked at the current policy on bullying for the St. Joseph school district public schools. Although
21 November 2011 Argument Analysis The argument I'm analyzing is regarding the recent decisions by the Portland Public School Board of allowing counter recruiters in to our high schools. This decision was made to inform students on the pros and cons of enlisting into our military force. A Privileged Point of View saw things differently with this action taking place. We should allow other groups and organizations into Portland public high schools. Published on October 29 2011 as an editorial by our local new paper The Oregonian.
One thing that I have read in the Daily News was that school shootings are the number one cause of student deaths in the United States and this is very sad. Another statement in the Daily News that caught my attention was that the number one cause of school shootings was bullying and pair pressure. When kids are bullied , they
And in recent years alcohol-related traffic deaths have crept up for both teens and adults. More Action Needed Two years ago [in 2002], Congress instructed the National Academy of Sciences [NAS] to study underage drinking in America. The NAS issued a report last year confirming that we must do more as a nation to combat youth alcohol use, including the need to strengthen "21." Based on the Academy's recommendations, MADD is calling on Congress to take action on several
Conflict Theory Perspective on Bullying in School Associated with Students’ Household Eli Bienstock Due Date: April 15, 2013 Sociology 101 Section M01 Shirley Schultz Bienstock Before delving into the research and statistical evidence trying to explain why students are more at-risk for bullying, the term bullying should be defined to avoid any confusion. Bullying is defined “as intentional, repeated aggression perpetrated by a more powerful person or group on a less powerful victim.” (Shetgiri, Rashmi and Lin, Hua and Avila, Rosa and Glenn Flores, 2012, 2280) Bullying is not limited to just physical abuse; bullying can be aggressive behavior over the internet or text messages (cyber bullying), emotional or social abuse like embarrassment or name-calling, intimidation (without physical harm), and spreading rumors or stories about someone (indirect bullying). Bullying is a problem that affects schools all over the world, although this paper focuses on research and studies done solely in the United States of America. According to Delia Carroll Campfield, who has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, “American schools harbor approximately 2.1 million bullies and 2.7 million of their victims, 1 in 7 Students in Grades K-12 are either a bully or a victim of bullying, 56% of students have Bienstock-2 personally witnessed some type of bullying at school, 15% of all school absenteeism is directly related to fears of being bullied at school, and 71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school.” (Campfield, 2008, 50) Adolescents who have parents that exhibit negative parental characteristics are more likely to engage in face-to-face harmful bullying, cyber bullying, intimidation bullying without harm, and indirect bullying than adolescents who do not have parents that exhibit negative parental characteristics. In sociology, bullying
