The study of business law is a rather challenging task due to several reasons. First of all, the complexity of human relations has always been difficult to adjust to and it is hard to find out who is right or wrong in a certain dispute. Moreover, every human being defends his/her interests, especially in the area of business, and the principles of the business law should be as precise and fair as possible to be able to settle any dispute on any subject possible. That is why the following cases demand precise answers as to the rights of parties in their controversy with each other. First of all, the controversial situation involving Jettison and BigBen Inc. should be considered. The matter of this case is the inability of the latter company to pay its debt to the former one. Moreover, BigBen Inc. offers a rather complicated way of solving the issue, i. e. Jettison’s ability to collect the debts from those who owe money to BigBen Inc. This case is rather controversial as only the formally correct agreement between BigBen Inc. and its indebted customers, if provided to Jettison with the official permission for collection of the debt, can entrust Jettison with the right to receive its money at least in this way. Concerning the second case involved, the position of Jettison is even less fortunate. The subject matter of the dispute is the lease agreement for the lease of a store for $1000 per month. The problem here is that the owner of the store leased agreed verbally to reduce the rent for $250 per month if allowed to use Jettison’s snowmobiles free of charge. However, when the payment term approached, the store owner demanded the full payment although he used the snowmobile option. In this case, it is almost impossible to defend Jettison’s right in court as the verbal agreement cannot be proved to have ever been concluded unless specific witnesses are present to testify the fact. Further on, the case involving Sara and her Big Bucks, Inc. position proposal are not that hard to solve. The point is that offering great conditions of employment for the beginner, Big Bucks, Inc. needs the guarantee of Sara’s loyalty to the company. It is a natural process for several companies around the globe and Sara should not be taken aback by this. Concerning Kevin and his cyber-deli café case, there are no reasons for lawful dispute at all. The fact that one of the café’s customers choked with a sandwich being prior warned about such a danger leaves no space for controversy. Moreover, th
Introduction The movie, Yacoubian building, is based on a novel by the same title, which was written by an Egyptian author called Alaa Al Aswany . Its main genre is drama but it has also incorporated comedy within its context. The movie was done in the year 2006 and was directed by Marwan Hamed. There are eight main themes in the movie. These themes highlight issues such as the difference between old and new Egypt, killing poor peoples’ dreams, government corruption, the lack of human rights in Egyptians’ jails, sexual harassment against women, homosexuality, people’s greediness and love. These themes have been illustrated by the use of cinematic elements. Main characters Yacoubian building starts as a documentary, through which the history of the Yacoubian luxury apartment building is made known to the audience. The apartment serves both as a metaphor for modern Egypt and a central location in which most of the main characters either reside or work. Most of the action also takes place in this apartment. One of the main characters who live in this building includes Zaki Pasha, a successful engineer who spends most of his time chasing after women. His habit created hostility with Dawlat, his sister because Dawlat thought that his brother destroyed the family’s reputation. For this reason, Dawlat kicked his brother out of his apartment and sought legal action to take over their father’s inheritance. Taha Al Shazli is also another character highlighted in the film as a victim of extremist organization that made him become a terrorist after the police academy rejected him. Another character in this movie is Buthayna. She was a young girl who fell in love with Taha but he had to abandon her after Taha became an extremist. After her father’s death, Buthayna worked in many clothing stores in order to support her family. It was in these clothing stores that she was sexually molested several times by her bosses. Hatim, a successful journalist of a French language daily newspaper is also another main character in the film. He was a homosexual who tried to take advantage of a poor police officer called Abdu-Rabuh, by telling him lies about his life. Because of his poor socioeconomic status, Abdu-Rabuh gave in to Hatim’s demands. However, after the death of his son, Abdu-Rabuh left Hatim and went to look for another handsome guy. This turned to be an episode that heralded Abdu-Rabuh’s death. There is also another character by the name Hagg Azam, whose story is highlighted in the film. Azam was a shoeblack who later turned to be one of the wealthiest men in Egypt. He used corrupt ways to climb the socioeconomic ladder. He bribed the minister of interior in order to become a parliament member. Azam also secretly married a poor lady and kept the marriage unannounced. Christine is another character whose story is pretty intriguing in the film.
Intercultural differences and dissimilar socio-cultural values can sometimes cause conflicts. However, there are cases proving that modern people can overcome cultural barriers and unite in the name of love. To illustrate this idea, I would like to describe the wedding celebration of my friend Aditi and her Russian boyfriend Alexander that took place one year ago and helped them to show respect to each other’s cultures and families. The Indian-Russian celebration was organized in California in March 2018, and it lasted for two days because the newly married couple wanted to unite their relatives by encouraging cultural exchange. On the first day, the bride and the groom practiced Indian wedding traditions such as the sacred fire and the seven steps to please Aditi’s family. The next day, they changed the location and continued celebrating the wedding in Russian style, with traditional dishes and dances. Preview: This essay is devoted to the Indian-Russian wedding that I attended as a guest one year ago. Being the representatives of dissimilar cultures, the bride and the groom decided to organize a two-day celebration featuring both Indian and Russian traditions. Aditi started dating her boyfriend in 2016, and, according to her words, she was afraid of disappointing her parents that were critical towards multicultural couples. My friend told me a few times that their wedding was a difficult decision due to her parents’ willingness to see her with a man of Indian descent. Despite that, Aditi’s parents accepted her choice after meeting Alex in person, and they started making preparations and studying each other’s cultural traditions to choose the appropriate wedding plan. It was a Saturday in March when I arrived at the couple’s house in California to join the celebration. I knew that Aditi and Alexander had already conducted all legal procedures and exchanged their wedding rings. When I came in, I saw that everything in their room and kitchen was decorated with separate red and orange flowers and long flower garlands, and female guests’ outfits were similar in color. There were twenty-six people in the room, fourteen of which were on the groom’s side. Among the groom’s guests, there were both his Russian relatives (they had immigrated to the United States as a family) and American friends from his university group. Aditi had asked Alexander’s female guests to choose either red or orange clothes, and the majority of women were wearing long red dresses. The choice of color had a symbolic meaning – according to Pastoureau (2017), red color became popular in India due to associations with fire, “an early object of worship” (p. 23). To support the chosen color theme, Aditi provided the male guests with red flower necklaces. All people on the bride’s side had chosen traditional wedding outfits typical for Indian celebrations such as tunics and sarees, with women wearing massive bracelets and earrings. Speaking about the couple, both bride and groom were dressed in traditional outfits. Aditi’s saree was red with silve
A market leader is a company, product or a brand that has the largest percentage in terms of market share in the market. It mainly dominates the competitors in various respects. This could be in terms of prices, profits, perceived value, image and customer loyalty. There are several pros and cons of being a market leader. One of the advantages of being one is that the leader develops a reputation for being the preferred brand or company of the entire marketplace. The market leader is also identified by its customers as having the best products. The market leader is also in a position to be preferred by the distributors and retailers. This is because it would be easier to establish relationships with them. Consequently, this would increase the revenue of the company and increase its chances to open up sales outlets elsewhere. Some of the disadvantages include the fact that the market leader is looked upon by the customers with great expectations. Therefore, it is always under great pressure as it strives to maintain high standards and tries to maintain its position as a leader. In order to identify a market leader, it is necessary to examine which brand or company (within the same industry) is most preferred among the customers. The customers require knowing who the market leader is. This is because customers normally develop loyalty over market leaders. Customers normally associate the market leader as the firm or brand that provides the best services or commodities. Porter’s Five Forces The first force is the threat of new entry. The hotel and hospitality industry (restaurants) is a market with high returns and attracts many new entrants. McDonald’s Company faces this threat since it is not too expensive and there are low barriers to entry. Although experience is required, it could be easily accessed through training. The second one is the supplier power. This is examines the ease at which the suppliers drive up the prices (Gurndy 34). This is determined by the number of suppliers, the uniqueness of their goods and services and how much control they have over the company. In the hotel industry where McDonald’s thrives, there are substitutes and there are many suppliers. Therefore, the bargaining power of the suppliers is low. The third on is the bargaining power of the customers. This describes the ability of the customers to pressurize the company. This would mean that the customers are sensitive to changes in prices. Since what McDonald’s sells is a homogeneous product, the customers’ bargaining power is high. The other force is competitive rivalry. This descr
Introduction The article entitled “The Information and Communication Technologies and Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights: A Relationship Perspective” was written and published in the journal of World Intellectual Property by Rao, P.M., Borg, E. A. and Klein, J. in the year 2008. This article analyzed the laws governing open software licensing and intellectual property. Several suggestions have been offered by the authors on how these laws can be adjusted to ensure that the business environment is conducive to economic prosperity and sustainability. Relationship marketing that is based on mutual trust and understanding is a better alternative to the current strict enforcement of the intellectual property rights regulations. However, it should be applied alongside other regulations to ensure the sustainability of the businesses. Summary The article examines the available regulations on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and their relationship to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The authors begin by acknowledging that Open Source Software (OSS) is a challenge in the application of the IPRs in the ICT sector of the economy. The article advocates for the establishment of a relationship marketing strategy as the best alternative that will ensure the sustainability of the ICT sector due to minimizing losses. The available IPRs regulations are very tough and expensive and thus tend to minimize their effectiveness. The article has four distinct approaches. It begins by analyzing the relationship strategies that offer intellectual property (IP) protection. These strategies involve end-user marketing and how the services are marketed. This is achieved through the establishment of coherent exchanges. The article iterates on several factors that affect the process. This involves legal bonds, cooperative norms, information exchange, cooperation, and operational linkages. This approach is customer-oriented and focuses on retaining the customers by establishing mutual respect and understanding. In the ICT sector, it is implemented by the provision of free software that attracts customers. The second approach of the article examines the importance of intellectual capital and its role in the international economic processes. Currently, the available legislations as well as other ways of preventing piracy have proven to be ineffective in eliminating the problem. This has limited the influence of IP in economic development. Presently, it is very expensive to establish and maintain the ICT sector. This has compelled several companies to resolve in applying secrecy in preventing theft and piracy. The study revealed that 36% of the software installed on computers is pirated. The paper describes how piracy has played a major role in the survival of the ICT sector of the economy. Piracy has also been noted as one of th

Introduction Parent participation in the students’ education is a very important concept that keeps the child attached to school and therefore learning made as successful as possible. The educators have recommended that parents should take active roles in assisting their children to learn. This is especially important for those students who present learning disabilities and therefore need special program that go beyond the normal school curriculum. However in general, all students require the participation of their parents. There are a number of ways that parents can be involved and this has been addressed in a number of researches. This project is an examination of these studies concerning the role played by parents as they get involved in the school activities on the motivation of the students. There are a number of parent involvement styles that have been assessed by previous studies. They include volunteering, meeting with staff, attendance of parent classes, and home involvement among others. Literature Review: The Role of Attitudes, Beliefs, and Perceptions in Student Learning The studies show that parent involvement is a very important variable and that it has a positive correlation with performance of eh students. As a result, more and more schools are now considering the important of this variable and they are developing programs that encourage parents to get involved more in their children’s (student’s) education. Based from the recent trends, it is imperative to recognize what entails parent involvement and in what manner does it influence the academic performance of the children. In this paper, parent involvement is simply looked at as the relationship between the parent and the school. In a study by Deutscher and Ibe 2003, p. 2, under the review of the Epstein paper, the study discusses that children learn and grow in three overlapping spheres of influence. These spheres include the family where they are born and brought up, the schools they attend to learn new life skill and the larger community where they stay. These there sources of influence need to be in partnership so that they can evoke the best out of the child (Deutscher & Ibe 2003, p. 2). Still the paper discusses six kinds of involvement that can be drawn from the association of the family school and the community. They include parenting skills, communication, learning at home, working together with the community, volunteering and decision making. This is why the teachers’ and administrators’ attitude and beliefs have been that parent involvement is very important. As the importance of parent involvement continues to be witnessed, the
“Gwendolyn Brooks, an African American poet who was the first black author to receive the coveted publisher prize, was born in Topeka, Kansas, but she was bought up in Chicago. Her father was a janitor and mother was a school teacher.” (Gwendolyn Brooks (1917 – 2000). As a child, she had seen the ugly side of racial discrimination and such practices had remained an influence in most of her writings. Luckily for the author, her parents were both supportive of her reading and writing and they encouraged her in her endeavors. (Gwendolyn Brooks (1917 – 2000). Her poems are known to reflect real experience, mostly derived from her life. Besides, her poetry enjoys particular popularity because they deal with the issues of the present time and are upbeat, containing the themes of the wayward nature of youth and its drastic consequences. Thus, the author always sought to forewarn the youngsters of the negative results of their thoughtless actions and tried to motivate them to gain education and become successful in life. Gwendolyn’s poem, “We Real Cool” can be seen as a creation triggered by the deep insight that she gained into human lives through her personal experiences. It is a fact that the youth of the modern-day does not have any clear sense of morality and they do not care much for the values that their previous generation has cherished. They seldom recognize the significance of education and skip classes without any valid reason. The author in this poem narrates the saga of some such teenagers who do not have a clear sense of purpose in whatever they do. The seven boys who leave school and go to play pool are examples of the carefree nature of the young generation in the modern world. As a result of ignoring their education, some of them become dropouts from school and finally leave the institution without even getting a high school diploma. Ultimately, they do not even get a good job and in the end, become failures in their lives. Obviously, by writing this poem, Gwendolyn Brooks intends to reach out to her audience and wants to impress upon them the importance of education and leading a disciplined life. Therefore, she shares her poem so that the youngsters will take the correct decision and choose the right path in life. Gwendolyn’s poem is a reflection of the thoughts of the youth. They think that they are cool and can do anything they want to. Once they leave school they start acting like adults and think that the world is in their hands. They roam around late at night, have parties, and drink a lot. They do as they wish. But this is not what should happen. Youngsters should not have this feeling in their minds. The poet ultimately says “We die soon,” and this is the thing that happens. The poet, through her work, wants to warn the youth that drinking and merry-making will fetch them no positive results and finally will end up in their destruction. It is not a fantasy it is the reality. There is not even a tinge of the lie in it. This poem is a perfect projection of th
Introduction Disability is one of the challenges encountered by teachers when delivering there services to students. It should be noted that nearly all the students could achieve their academic objectives if the right teaching and learning techniques are applied that take into account the individual student needs. Different students having different learning abilities prompting for a need by the educators to differently address these students with special education needs. If not correctly considered, the students in with mild disabilities under other unidentified disabilities might suffer due to the current emphasis on the educational sector that an inclusive educational practice be adopted. The instructors in this case should have the required knowledge and appropriately intervene to help these students to cope up with the curriculum requirements. Instructional issues that are encountered in education are those arising due to the inability of the students to acquire, maintain, and relate the skills that are learned in class t
A focus on the Government   * This project will focus on the government.   * It will be conducted by the Youth, Adult and Elderly Abuse Miracle Center.   * It is the duty of the government to protect the interest of its subjects regardless of their age, sexual orientation, race or religion (Burns, 2009).   * To ensure that the above goal is attained, the government always has set rules and regulation that control the actions of the producers and consumers (Mischel, 2008).   * This study will focus on consumer needs from the perspectives of the inhabitants of South Carolina and Ohio.   * Information from the various departments of the government will be required to provide the essential information that is required for the study.   * The Department of Mental Health consumers and/or providers for example will be useful in this study. The government is the main body that controls the actions, procedures and regulations of a specific state. This is mainly done to protect the rights and responsibilities of its subjects. To ensure that equality and sanity is maintained, the government normally has some set rules and regulations that have to be adhered to. These rules also apply in the sale of goods and services to protect the interests of the producers and consumers. The government is made up of a number of departments. These departments normally collect and store data from its subjects. The department of Mental Health Consumers and Providers will provide the relevant information with regards to consumer behavior in the state. Title of the Study The Statement below represents the topic for this P-Plan Proposal:   * Youth, Adult and Elderly Abuse.   * The main aim of the project is to come up with possible solutions of reducing abuse at all stages of the human life.   * It has been the norm of the society to abuse fellow individuals for various reasons (Bass, 2010).   * According to (Liontos, 2010), abuse is the process by which an individual uses improper conduct for an ill motive against another individual with the hope of benefiting from the act.   * Abuse is non-discriminatory regardless of the age, sex, race or social status (Bateson, 2008).   * Abuse is also present in all the dimensions of life (Evetts, 2000).   * This includes education, business, religion, gender, race, ethnicity, politics and so on.   * Abuse is an immoral vice and should be prevented by all means. The level of abuse in the world has been increasing at an alarming rate. It is therefore a high time that a study should be conducted to come up with solutions to this predicament. In the process of abuse, the abuser always hopes to benefit from his acts at the expense of the abused. This can be seen in all the aspects of life. Perhaps the earliest form of abuse that we have experienced in life is being bullied in kindergarten or elementary school. Abuse has a huge impact on an individual. It leaves a psychological mark in the mind of an individual. Unmet Ne
