...Homework week 2 1. The agency that controls the regulation would be the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration). The reason why this agency and my proposed regulation interest me is because I used to work in a food distribution company. My previous company is a company that also import their inventory from overseas; therefore, the FDA regulation is very important to their business and I happen to know this matter the most. I would like to propose regarding the regulation from the FDA, about “The Secretary of the Treasury shall cause the destruction of any such article refused admission unless such article is exported, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, within ninety days of the date of notice of such refusal or within such additional time as may be permitted pursuant to such regulations.” The regulation is really affecting the business of my previous company. As the company imports the products from overseas, there will be some cases that the products will not pass the FDA inspection. If the products fail the FDA inspection, the product will be destroyed, which will cost the company some big amount of money. 2. The proposal of changing to the regulation in my case would be the change of action to the products that are refused by the FDA or that are not meeting the standard of the FDA to enter and be consumed. The action that will be taken now would be to destroy the products; however, the proposal that I would like to submit would be to return the products...

Moreover, I strongly believe that you should know specifically which liabilities you are exposed to, the likelihood of being found liable, and the worst case damages that could be given to Ms. Pollard. She would argue that there was a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids sexual discrimination in the workplace, which may lead her to state that your workplace is a hostile environment. This is defined as discrimination in the form of foul physical and verbal conduct which is related to her constitutionally protected classification. To support this position, Pollard will raise the case Faragaher v. City of Boca Raton in which the court can find out that Teddy’s Supplies will be liable for the conduct of its employees.

...1. What is the most “jealously” protected kind of speech, according to the court in this case? According to the notes on the case, “the most jealously protected [kind of] speech is that which advances the free, uninhibited flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern” (236 A.D.2d 186, 1997).

...1. This story is about the Supreme Court’s decision. What process did this case have to go through to get to the Supreme Court? Parties who are not satisfied with the decision of a lower court must petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case. The primary means to petition the court for review is to ask it to grant a writ of certiorari. This is a request that the Supreme Court order a lower court to send up the record of the case for review (Supreme Court Decisions, 2015). 2. In the story, two justices wrote differing opinions about the issue. Discuss the differences between a majority opinion, a concurring opinion, and a dissenting opinion. What effect does each type of opinion have on the state of the law in America? The majority opinion reflects the resolution agreed upon by more than half of the members of the court. The task of writing the majority opinion is assigned to one of the justices in that group. Justices who agree with the result of the main opinion, or the resolution of the dispute between the two parties, but base their decision on a different rationale may issue one or more concurring opinion. Likewise, justices who disagree with the main opinion in both result and legal rationale may issue one or more dissenting opinion (How to read, 2012). The effect these have on the state of law in America is that it sets a precedence that will be used for similar cases in the future. If a precedence has been set, then it is much harder to rule in a different...

...Case Study: China Myths, China Facts Julliana Schlemper Embry-Riddle Aeronautic University Organizational Behavior & Change MGMT520 Fernando Muniz April 27, 2016 Case Study: China Myths, China Facts Introduction Considered the second-largest economy in the world, that should surpass the US in the next decade, China has a very unique culture. When I think about China, in a business way, I think about very serious people that know what they want and go get it. Chinese people like to know you more than what other people from other nationalities would. This way, Chinese can learn more about the person and know if they can trust you or not. Most of what Chinese do in business has to do with trust and how it’s built. The biggest difference between the West people and the Chinese people is we work on building a trust relationship (Harvard Business Review, 2015). In this case study, I will comment about three myths that surround China’s culture, work ethic and management techniques. The three myths are collectivism, long-term deliberations and risk aversion. Discussion Questions 1. Has this presentation challenged any assumptions you had about China and the Chinese people? Yes. Movies, News, the media in general, have pictured China as a culture that is more inclined to the individualism more than collectivism. It was new to me to know that workers in China are more inclined to self-interest than their communities and the companies they work for. 2. Using your...
