it matter if the life form is a non-sentient organism like a plant? Is
there a place where the law can ethically draw a line between life as property

You are a Business Analyst working for the ABC Ball Bearing company. An
hour ago, you sent an order of 74 boxes of your A1 ball bearings to a customer
on your delivery truck. You have just found out that your truck is going to go
over a bridge that has a weight limit of 11,500 lbs. You need to determine if
your truck will safely make it over the bridge. If you determine that the truck
cannot make it over the bridge, you will need to call the driver and have
him/her turn back.
The plant manager has told you that an empty delivery truck with the
driver weights about 8500 lbs.
You have 30 boxes of the A1 ball bearings in your plant. You immediately
had them weighed. The weights of the boxes are:

1.
Calculate the Mean and the Standard
Deviation of this sample.
2.
Using the normal distribution curve,
calculate the probability the truck's total weight is under 11,500 lbs. What is
your decision? Will you allow the truck to continue or will you call the driver
and tell him/her to turn back? Show all of your calculations.
3.
Discuss several types of sampling: e.
convenience sampling, random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling
or cluster sampling. Discuss which type of sampling is used in this scenario.
4.
Discuss what sampling bias is. Do you
believe that using the 30 boxes in your warehouse caused sampling bias?
5.
What does the central limit theorem
state and why is it important to solving this problem. Is the thirty boxes of
ball bearings enough to predict the probability of safely going over the
bridge?

BUSN311 Week 3
Discussion Constitutional Law
Many
businesses today, as corporate entities other than sole proprietorships, voice
their political and social views in various ways. Chick-fil-A is an
example of a business that voiced prominent views on the issue of gay rights, a
perception it since has tried to reverse. This news article briefly summarizes
the Chick-fil-A controversy.
The
subject of gay rights is an evolving issue of constitutional implications.
Another business, a Colorado bakery, stepped into center ring of controversy
asserting that First Amendment free exercise of religion overrode Colorado's
discrimination laws requiring equal access of service to the public. For
this Forum, consider this case: the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Masterpiece
Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, 138 S.Ct. 1718
(2018). Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. was a small bakery, whose owner refused to
create and sell a wedding cake to a same-sex couple for their wedding because
the marriage was against his religious beliefs.
·
Explain the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision in this case. Do you agree with the Court's
decision? Explain.
·
Compare the outcome of
this case to the Court's finding of race discrimination under the Commerce
Clause in Katzenbach
v. McClung, 379
U.S. 294 (1964)
·
Do you agree that a business
entity (other than a sole proprietorship) should have the same First Amendment
rights as individual human citizens? Why or why not?
·
Readings to assist you

"Unlimited submissions" - This means you have multiple
opportunities to submit a draft of your paper to the
Assignment dropbox before the due date to check for yourself the TurnItIn
Report for similarity and any other issues, and make any revisions you need.
There is only one final submission for grading.
Essay topic: Reflecting
on the concepts in the course, select and research one (1) of
the company situations listed below and discuss the legal and ethical
issues surrounding it. At least one citation for each company is
provided to get you started and you may use this citation as one of your
sources. It is expected you will use the course required readings plus your own
independent research in support of this paper.
Your essay should include the following, organized in your
paper using APA headings with logical and smooth transitions.
1) A well-formulated introduction that
·
identifies
the company,
·
states
the company's ethical dilemma presented in the facts, and
·
states a
thesis statement for the paper that provides the reader a well-conceived
approach or practical perspective on the problem presented by the company's
situation. This will demonstrate more than one academic topic is covered.
2) Discuss how the philosophy of economist Milton Friedman's shareholder
or free market ethics may have influenced the leadership of the company;
include the concept of corporate social responsibility.
3) Identify and define another ethical framework that the company
leadership could have utilized in this situation and
explain how this ethical framework would have led to a different
result. Explain specifically how the company effectively would have
employed this framework.
4) Identify and apply three general legal topics that
are discussed in the required readings this term. Do NOT use ethics or the
company's main legal issue. These are to be additional legal
issues. For example if you chose Ford, that is a consumer and product liability
problem so additional legal topics cannot be consumer and product liability topics
or the ethical issues you are addressing. There are many other possibilities --
employment, contract, bankruptcy, criminal law, fIP, etc. Fully define the
principles you select and analyze their application to your chosen company's
business, issues and circumstances. Include in-text citations to the course
materials, as failing to cite your sources will result loss of credit. NOTE:
The required readings are listed in the Lessons section for each week under
"Required Readings" plus any other sources that may have been

Agnes works for STARQUEST LTD in the IT department. Her supervisor is
Morges. Agnes is very good at her job and Morges fears threatened by her. Over
a period of several months he routinely criticizes her work and withholds
information from her that she should have to do her job. Then he sends her
emails telling her she has missed deadlines and committed other errors. Agnes
tries to defend herself but this only angers Morges. The last straw for Agnes
was Morges telling her she would be better off at home "taking care of her
husband." Agnes complains to HR about Morges' conduct.

Question 12 options:
|
violation of Fair Labor Standards Act |

|
violation of Equal Pay Act |
|
|
None of the above; he has not violated any act |
|
|
violation of Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended |
