...Week 8 Tutorial Questions 1. Are these drinks as dangerous as the critics maintain? How much of the problem is due to the high levels of caffeine, how much is due to the labeling and marketing and how much is caused by irresponsible behavior on the part of young drinkers? Are companies like Joose and Four Loko being singles out for social problems that are much wider in scope, in particular, alcohol abuse by young people? These caffeinated beverages evidently have dangerous effects on individuals when consumed in large consumptions. The reason it is so dangerous is due to the high caffeine levels in the alcoholic drink, which can have adverse effects on those that consume the drink, as it prevents them from becoming tired, and stopping drinking as a natural reaction. The fact that the drink is so cheap, and is marketed in a colourful way does attract younger drinkers, which was the major reason that Four Loko was looked down upon. However I do not believe that these companies should be singled out and suffer due to the social problems of underage drinking, and young people abusing alcohol. I believe these issues are a much larger scope and will not be solved by banning these products. 2. Is Peter Mercer correct that caffeinated alcoholic beverages serve no ‘socially redeeming purpose’? Is that the proper test for determining whether society should permit a product to be sold? What about the fact that there is a market demand for these products? Peter Mercer...

...RMIT COMMERCIAL LAW [pic] Weekly Case-studies for Small Group Seminars Semester 1, 2012 Week 2 case study Deciding what legislation means Case-study: The toxic waste Late in the afternoon on 1 December 2009 Alex Demetriou, who owns a waste removal business, collects a truckload of contaminated soil from excavations at a building site in Melbourne. He drives the full truck back to his company’s yard in Werribee. He leaves it parked there overnight, intending to drive it to a remote dump the next day. A municipal inspector sees the truck in the yard and discovers that the soil in the truck is toxic waste. The inspector tells Alex that the law forbids storing such materials near a river or river bed without a special permit. Alex admits that the soil is contaminated and says that he cannot produce a permit. The Werribee River is three kilometres from the haulage company’s yard. The inspector makes a report to the Police, who charge Alex with a breach of s 3 of an Act called the Contamination Avoidance Act. Alex is given the option of admitting guilt and paying a fine of $1,000. Otherwise, he will have to defend the charge in court. Alex asks for your advice. He admits the soil was left in the yard, but says it was only left there overnight and that he always intended to move it the next day. He says that, in these circumstances, he does not...

...Team B University of Phoenix 3157 E. Elwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85034 August 25, 2010 Tyrie Smith University of Phoenix 3157 E. Elwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85034 Good Day, TEAM B WILL CRAFT A MANUAL BASED ON THE LIBRARY SERVICE (SEE ATTACHED) Team B’s choice of creating a manual on the Library did not come without some deliberation. Most of the team’s members had no experience on how to begin the process of creating a manual of any kind. Team B’s reasoning behind choosing the Library is, although it seems like something that wouldn’t be much to cover in a manual, it has much to offer in the way of content and services. Our intentions for selecting the Library are to have enough content to constitute a solid manual, yet be small enough to allow an easy understanding of how to create a manual. Not to say the Library does not have much to offer for a manual. When contemplating between the Library and the Online Learning System (OLS), we believe that the OLS would have more content, which would make it easier to create a hearty manual. After breaking down each of the two candidates, we found that the Library has more to offer than just some databases that hold books and a program that tells its users whether they have plagiarized or not. In the end, our decision is to write the manual over the Library and its many benefits and services to students at University of Phoenix. Thank you for your time, Team B University of Phoenix Library The library consists of...
