...onfusion Madi 2.1.15 FDENG 101 Confused: To Be or Not To Be? Confusion is inevitable. It’s bound to happen at sometime whether I’m at the grocery store wondering where everything is since management thought it would be a good idea to put me out of my comfort zone, or driving by a strange new place that I’ve never seen before. Confusion could really hit at any time. Life as a whole is a bunch of years jumbled up into one long, confusing mess. With so many different options of what to believe, who to trust, what foods to like, or what I am comfortable doing, how do I not get confused? As confusing as it is, I love my life, but at the same time, why does it seem that I really ever know what’s going on? Okay, I am aware that virtually every college student is going through some oh-so-terribly-confusing time in their life. So why is it that I feel that nobody understands my confusion? Simply that. It’s mine, not anyone else’s. Since this uncertainty belongs to me and only me, why do I seem to think that my confusion trumps yours? Why do I feel that I am ultimately more important? I have always wondered that when see the color red, somebody else could be seeing what you think of as the color blue and just was always taught that this so-called blue color has and always will be called red? This has intrigued me since a young age, and I can’t seem to come to terms...

...workplace is essential for your business to run smoothly and efficiently day to day. In order for communication to be effective the message needs to be clear and concise. If the message is not clear this will cause errors, confusion and an inefficient work environment. There are times that I have experienced effective communication in the workplace. An example is announcements and weekly news letters. At a previous job I had, they would sent out a weekly newsletter that kept us all in the loop. This was beneficial to all the employees because we knew of any upcoming changes and what was going on with the company overall. We would also have biweekly team meetings. These meetings would increase morale, give employees the opportunity to voice their ideas and opinions as well as brainstorm with their team. This allows the employees as well as the managers to involve everyone and have everyone on the same page. Another form of effective communication I have experienced is during training and presentations at work. When we introduce new products or change the way we do or process something at work we all need to know about it. Having a training class or presentation that provides expertise, knowledge and instructions allows us to avoid confusion. At my present job they are always introduces new products and new software. We have meetings once a week to make sure everyone is up to date on the new software and products. One reason I perceive this communication to be...

...Luis F. Rivera Bronc ID# 0056472420730 Dr. Kathleen Dunne March 1, 2015 Since 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 130 established that companies have to report comprehensive income in a financial statement. SFAS 130 provides two methods of how to report comprehensive income: by a continuous statement format where it starts with income statement and then continues with OCI entries or by presenting OCI as an independent statement, starting with net income. However, in 2011 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05 that eliminates the option of a separate statement to report OCI. Since respondents demonstrated concerns saying that users can get confused with the information if presented in the same statement, FASB and IASB allows the use of “two-statement presentation” approach. Through the research discussed by Charles E. Jordan and Stanley J. Clark in the article “Reporting Preferences under the Comprehensive Income Standards”, the results demonstrated that depending how OCI is reported does affects managers and investors. The use of independent statements to report OCI is preferable by managers. Managers prefer to use the two-statement approach meaning that operating income and OCI are presented as separate statements so that OCI numbers does not affect income statement. The study demonstrated that this trend is clearly more utilized by more profitable companies than less profitable companies. They do not want the...

...State of Confusion The state of Confusion has enacted a statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers to use its highway to use a B-type truck hitch. Tonya Trucker owns a trucking company and thinks that this statute is a waste of unnecessary money. Tonya would have to avoid driving through Confusion if she did not decide to upgrade to the B-type hitch. That would also be an expense to her company. Tonya has decided to file suit against Confusion to overturn the statute. What court will have jurisdiction over Tanya’s Suite? Why? Federal Court will have jurisdiction over Tanya suit. The Federal Court will have jurisdiction because her company operates in the state of Denial. General Jurisdiction hears civil trials in the courts. Tanya believes if the decision is overturned, it will not only help her business but also others company’s like hers. Tonya Trucker is taking the necessary steps to file suit through a trial court of general jurisdiction. Trial courts of general jurisdiction are the main trial courts in the state system (United States Courts net.). Tanya business is not in the state of confusion but the state of Denial General Jurisdiction court of Confusion has agreed to hear her case. General jurisdiction courts usually split up into two parts: civil and criminal. Civil court would be where Tonya’s case would be heard.

...State of Confusion Scenario: The state of Confusion enacted a statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers that use its highways to use a B-type truck hitch. This hitch is manufactured by only one manufacturer in Confusion. The result of this statute is that any trucker who wants to drive through Confusion must stop and have the new hitch installed, or drive around Confusion. The federal government has not made any attempt to regulate the truck hitches used on the nation’s highways. (University of Phoenix, 2010) Tanya Trucker intends to file suit against the state of Confusion because of the enacted statute that requires all trucks and towing trailers to use the specific truck hitch while in Confusion. Tanya will file a civil case against the state of Confusion, as this statute adversely affects Tanya’s business profits. Tanya hopes to overturn the statute in this suit against the state. Overturning this statute will allow Tanya’s business and other truck and trailer businesses to eliminate this extra expense. We will examine the list of stages in a civil suit, to determine which court has jurisdiction, and explore whether or not the Confusion statute is constitutional. To begin the stages of a civil case, Tanya must find an attorney who can represent her, then gather the finances to pay the attorney’s fees. With the help of an attorney, Tanya will be able to take the first step of the civil suit. Below is a list of the seven stages of a civil case and a brief...

...State of Confusion Joseph McMillan University of Phoenix Business Law BUS/415 Charles Ellison June 30, 2012 State of Confusion The state of Confusion is requiring that all truck drivers that drive through their state have a specific B-type hitch on their trailers. If they do not have these hitches they are required to drive around the state of Confusion. However, the only manufacturer of these hitches is also located in Confusion as well. Tanya Trucker is from the state of Denial and plans to bring a lawsuit to remove this restriction on the grounds that this statute is unconstitutional. Tanya truck would have to file the suit within the state of Confusion at the Federal Court because this is where the restriction is being imposed but the federal government is who overseas interstate commerce. Other reasons are due to the fact that the hitch restriction is in this state and the federal government has not made any regulations themselves that require this hitch. Also, the state of Denial has no jurisdiction over the state of Confusion. This statute is not constitutional on the grounds that it is extremely restrictive. A truck cannot be expected to purchase this hitch when the only place to get it is in the state of Confusion. There is no way to drive into the state without first violating their statute to begin with because that is the only place they can first purchase the hitch. Also this standard is only set in one state and is not required in any other states....

...The State of Confusion BUS/415 April 2, 2012 The State of Confusion Paper The State of Confusion has enacted a statute that will require all trucks and towing trailers using its highways to use a B-type truck hitch. Tanya Trucker, owns a company in the State of Denial, does not see the new statute in the State of Confusion as fair to her business or any other foreign business. The paper will review how Tanya Trucker can suit the State of Confusion, by following all the constitutional laws in the right court, and the litigation process she must follow to suit. The Federal Court will have jurisdiction over this case because Tanya Trucker leaves in the State of Denial, and her suit will be against the State of Confusion. Cheeseman (2010) stated “A case may be brought in federal court if there is diversity of citizenship” (p. 41). Because this case will have a federal question because Tanya Trucker could file her lawsuit against the State of Confusion for violating the commerce clause under the U.S. Constitution. Cheeseman (2010) stated “The Commerce Clause gives the federal government the authority to regulate the interstate commerce.” The U.S. Supreme Court has handled numerous case, but one particular case is the Southern Pacific Co. v. Arizona, 325 U.S. 761, 65 S. Ct. 1515, 89 L. Ed. 1915 (1945), this case was about an Arizona statute that prohibited railroads with more than 70 freight cars to travel within the state (“The Free Dictionary by Farlex...

...State of Confusion BUS 415 Tanya Trucker, owner of a trucking company in the state of Denial, plans to file suit against the State of Confusion to challenge the State’s new statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers that use their highways to use a B-type truck hitch produced only in Confusion. Although Tanya’s business is located in Denial, she must use Confusion’s highways to conduct business. Tanya must incur additional business costs to comply with Confusion’s statute so her trucks can continue driving through the state. Because the federal government has not made any attempt to regulate the truck hitches used on the nation’s highways, Tanya feels that the statute is a violation of the federal commerce clause, and hopes to have the statute overturned. What Court has Jurisdiction? The specific components of a case aid in determining the jurisdiction over a suit. For Tanya Trucker’s case, she may file in either a state or federal court as they both have jurisdiction. However, it would be pointless for Tanya to file suit in the State of Confusion where the trailer hitches are produced, sold, and required for transport. This could cause court bias, as Tanya’s company is located in another state. Diversity of citizenship jurisdiction allows a state case to be brought to a federal court if the lawsuit involves citizens from different states and involves a nonfederal question. The federal court must apply the appropriate state’s law in deciding the case, and the...

...In The Psychology of Globalization (2002) , Jeffery Arnett says that “As local cultures change in response to globalization, most people manage to adapt to the changes and develop a bicultural or hybrid identity that provides the basis for living in their local culture and also participating in the global culture. However, for some people, adapting to the rapid changes taking place in their cultures is more difficult. The images, values, and opportunities they perceive as being part of the global culture undermine their belief in the value of local cultural practices. At the same time, the ways of the global culture seem out of reach to them, too foreign to everything they know from their direct experience. Rather than becoming bicultural, they may experience themselves as excluded from both their local culture and the global culture, truly belonging to neither”. According to Arnett’s statement there are some countries or regions in the world where the local people are having difficulties in adopting the changes that are taking place. in his article The Psychology of Globalization he speaks about different terms such as “Culture shedding” which is when people are bound to drop some of their cultures whether it their own choice or not because globalization is dominating the world and there is nothing they can do about it, another term he speaks of is “Marginalization” which is when a person does not want to keep their old cultures any more but they also reject the new cultures...

...Tanya v. the state of Confusion Tanya Trucker v. the state of Confusion is the case about a statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers that utilize the highways of the state of Confusion to have a B-type truck hitch. The lawsuit takes place because Tanya Trucker, a trucking company owner and a citizen of the state of Denial as well, finds it unfair for her to pay for the additional expenses for installing the particular type truck hitch that is only manufactured in the state of Confusion. The case is taking into consideration of what court will have the jurisdiction over Tanya’s suit and the reasons. Whether the Confusion statute is constitutional or not is also a big question to challenge the legal reasoning. Especially to determine the validity of the statue, the application of what provisions of the U.S. Constitution should be utilized properly, and the possibility for Tanya to prevail on her suit is encountering with all the legal reasoning as well. The court will have jurisdiction over Tanya’s suit and the reasons This is the case involving the diversity of citizenship between the state of Confusion and the citizen of the state of Denial; therefore, the court that should have jurisdiction over the lawsuit is the federal District Court in the sate of Confusion where the statute enacted. If there is diversity of citizenship, federal court may be chosen to have jurisdiction (Cheeseman, 2010). Apparently, the federal government has never regulated...

...State of Confusion BUS 415 Business Law November 1, 2010 State of Confusion Tanya Trucker owns an out-of-state trucking company and resides in the State of Denial. For the purpose of conducting her business, she frequently finds the need to drive her truck across other states; including the State of Confusion. Recently, the State of Confusion ratified a state law demanding all towing trailers and trucks traveling through the State of Confusion to have the B-type truck hitch installed on the vehicle. Truck owners and drivers choosing not to install the B-type truck hitch are not allowed permission to use the highways of the State of Confusion. Instead of driving through the State of Confusion, truck operators must drive around on the perimeter of the state, which will cost the trucking companies extra time and money. State and court system jurisdiction handling Tanya’s suit and explain Because the State of Confusion acted in violation of the Commerce clause contained within the U. S. Constitution, the federal court becomes the filing jurisdiction for Tanya Trucker’s lawsuit. Although the 10th Amendment to the Constitution sanctions states the power to regulate intrastate commerce, the Commerce clause included within the Constitution of the United States. In particular Article One, Section Eight, Clause Three grants Congressional body authority of commerce regulation and trade actions conducted with the Indian tribes, other states, and foreign nations.

...State of Confusion LaJean Adame, Ben Bush, Lynda Fae, Robert Ralston, Loquenta Spencer BUS/415 July 23, 2012 James Zaccaria State of Confusion Trucking companies have the right to travel from state to state without incurring additional expenses or duties. When states impose laws that incur additional costs to the distribution companies the state is interfering with the commerce clause (Farlex, 2012). The state of Confusion has enacted a statute requiring trucks towing trailers on its highways must have a B-type hitch. The hitch is manufactured by one company within the state of Confusion. Truck drivers who do not comply with this statute must drive around the state. This statute is adding additional expenses to the transportation of loads from either changing the hitch or added gas to go around the state. Tanya Trucker owns a trucking company in the state of Denial and is not happy with the new statute because of the added expenses imposed on her business. Tanya intends to file suit against Confusion to overturn the statute. Team A will help Tanya with this suit by discovering the court that will have jurisdiction, if the statute is constitutional, which provisions of the U.S. Constitution will be applied by a court to determine the statute validity, is Tanya likely to prevail in the suit, and provide the stages of a civil suit. By discovering these details Team A will discover if Tanya will be successful with overturning the statute. Jurisdiction The state of...

The problem is that the B-type hitch is manufactured by only one company in the state of Confusion. In order for Tanya Trucker’s equipment can drive through the state of Confusion, the driver must stop at this manufacturer and have the hitch installed, or the driver will have to drive around the state. The hitch will cause Tanya additional expenses. Tanya’s transportation company is in the state of Denial. Tanya will need to determine what court has jurisdiction over the suit and if the state of Confusion’s statute is constitutional. Tanya also needs to decide what provisions of the U.S. Constitution would be applied by the court to determine the statute’s validity. Tanya will decide if she is likely to win her case before filing suit and will need to research to see what the stages of a civil suit are. What court will have jurisdiction over Tanya’s suit? Why?

...“Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.” ~ Albert Einstein We are presently witnessing an unprecedented drive for perfection in the field of marketing. Each and every day a plethora of new emails, articles, case studies and blogs promise to help us optimize everything from search engine rankings and viral video awareness to ad campaign engagement and direct mail response rates. Business books are popping up like weeds in a field (more than twenty new titles each day) expounding on how to be authentic, influence through social networks, create compelling blogs, spread sticky messages, and tell persuasive stories. There’s only one problem: Trying to perfect this growing assortment of marketing means is causing brand confusion, and thus a negative effect on the enterprise ends. The end, the goal, of any organization, of any brand, is to create customers (or clients, users, members, donors, fans, etc.), and you accomplish that goal by continually innovating to add value to their lives. Everything the organization invests in, and works on, should be laser focused to that end. That may sound ridiculously evident, but I can assure you that it’s not. For example, ZenithOptimed predicts that worldwide advertising expenditures will grow by a little over 6% this year to a whopping $473 billion! That’s not to say that all advertising is valueless in the eyes of customers. But I can assure you that most of that $473 billion is worse than valueless;...
