The R&D division of Mozy Corp. -content– The R&D division of Mozy Corp. has just developed a chemical for sterilizing the vicious Brazilian ?okiller bees?? which are invading Mexico and the southern United States. The president of Mozy is anxious to get the chemical on the market because Mozy profits need a boost—and his job is in jeopardy because of decreasing sales and profits. Mozy has an opportunity to sell this chemical in Central American countries, where the laws are much more relaxed than in the United States. The director of Mozy’s R&D division strongly recommends further research in the laboratory to test the side effects of this chemical on other insects, birds, animals, plants, and even humans. He cautions the president, ?oWe could be sued from all sides if the chemical has tragic side effects that we didn’t even test for in the lab.?? The president answers, ?oWe can’t wait an additional year for your lab tests. We can avoid losses from such lawsuits by establishing a separate wholly owned corporation to shield Mozy Corp. from such lawsuits. We can’t lose any more than our investment in the new corporation, and we’ll invest just the patent covering this chemical. We’ll reap the benefits if the chemical works and is safe, and avoid the losses from lawsuits if it’s a disaster.?? The following week, Mozy creates a new wholly owned corporation called Ziegler Inc., sells the chemical patent to it for $10, and watches the spraying begin. Instructions (a) Who are the stakeholders in this situation? (b) Are the president’s motives and actions ethical? (c) Can Mozy shield itself against losses of Ziegler Inc.?

Search and seizure -content– The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the police. Searches must be done with a warrant or under one of the described exceptions. In Maryland v. King, the Supreme Court ruled that the police can take DNA during the booking process from people who have been arrested and not yet convicted. This is similar to an arrestee having his or her fingerprints taken during booking. Do you think this violates a person’s right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures? What are the implications of this case upon all of the branches of the criminal justice system? PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET A GOOD DISCOUNT Read More »

HISTORY -content– 1-The Ratification Debate There are two very different camps within the Constitutional debate – the Federalist advocate a stronger central government while the Anti-Federalists propose maintaining the looser confederation of States. Which position do you believe in most? Secondly, using your knowledge of our contemporary political parties, which of today’s parties do you feel supports your preference? 2-The Alien and Sedition Acts What were the Alien and Sedition Acts – a necessary tool for the protection of the fledgling Republic or and Adam’s attempt to silence dissent, both within his own party and in the opposition? Throughout our history we have used this law – or one strikingly similar to silence the opposition in times of crisis. Given the most recent developments, do we need such a law to protect our republic? Is it proper to try, convict, and sentence “prisoners of war” in US military courts martial? 3-Transitioning Power Some historians state that the peaceful transition of power marks the major difference between America and other ‘democracies’ such as the Greek Polis and the (early) Roman Republic. Was there in fact a peaceful transition during this period and do we still have that legacy today? 4-We’ve always done it this way The South could have taken a far different course during the early days of the Industrial Revolution and not only fully participated but actually dominated the era. What would have been some of the advantages of such a move and why didn’t they do it? 5-Nullification A hallmark of our Republic is the balance of power – between the branches of the federal government; between the state and federal governments; but especially between the government and the governed. Nullification is an important part of that process. How do we keep one branch or one part of our government from becoming too all-powerful? What was the Nullification Crisis and should we allow states to nullify federal law? Does power really “originate from the people through their directly elected state legislatures”? 6-We can’t do this anymore What were the Abolitionist’s main strategies used to achieve their goals? Which one(s) were the most (and least) effective and why? 7-Succession Did the South have the right to leave the union? 8-The Emancipation Proclamation The Emancipation Proclamation is often described as a politically perfect document but a morally lacking one. Why or Why not? 9-Reconstruction What was the immediate and long term impact of the ‘Reconstruction Amendments’ ? PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET A GOOD DISCOUNT Read More »
