Using the Required Readings and your own research:
·
Review the requirements for a patent.
·
Then further discuss: Should a
company be allowed to patent a life form? Does 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 and life as beyond any
person or business appropriation?

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?

BUSN311 Unit 3 Paper in Format IP
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?

"Unlimited submissions" - This means you have multiple

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 assigned during the course.
