Business Law – Memorandum

Assignment Scenario

Candie Cardigan has been asked to model CARDWARE’s newest sweater line that is made of thin and yet warm material, called Naturally There, as it can withstand temperatures of 30 below 0. Because this will provide CARDWARE with good publicity of its newest clothing line, she agrees to walk the runway in Fashion City. The modeling event is being held at the Easton Hotel. Celebrities and those involved in the fashion industry will be in attendance. Several models precede Candie and her debut of Naturally There. Clad in a tasteful skirt, 4-inch high heels and a green Naturally There sweater, Candie proceeds to the end of the runway. A small wrinkle in the carpet causes Candie’s left shoe to get caught and she falls over the end of the runway onto the row of judges. Unfortunately, Myra, a judge and world renowned model, suffers a broken nose and cut to her face from one of Candie’s shoes.

Myra wants to bring a lawsuit based on negligence against CARDWARE and Candie.

Ethics

Topic: Choose one current event from the news, and write a personal opinion/response to this event from an ethical perspective. Be sure to have a specific news article(s) to refer to in your paper! Include a citation (web site URL, etc.) to let me know where you found the article.

Content:

●Describe the issue you have chosen to write about.

○Who? What? When? Where? Why?

●Then write about three possible ethical responses to the issue; each response should get an entire paragraph, so this part of your paper should be three paragraphs long. What are some questions, concerns, problems, challenges, etc. you see in your chosen issue?

○These do not have to be responses that YOU personally agree with; rather, these are three possible responses that anyone could have (you will have a chance to give your own opinion later in the paper).

○Please refer to a specific theory we have learned about in class in at least one of your three responses.

●What do you personally consider to be the most ethical response? Why? This should take up another paragraph.

○This is your chance to share your own opinion about this issue! You can agree with one of the possible responses you presented earlier, or you can write about a totally new reaction here.

○Be sure to write about not only what you think but also why you believe what you do. The more detail, the better!

●Don’t forget to write a conclusion!

Structure: The structure of your paper should follow this pattern:

●Paragraph 1 ~ Introduction: describe the issue you have selected

●Paragraph 2 ~ Possible ethical response #1

●Paragraph 3 ~ Possible ethical response #2

●Paragraph 4 ~ Possible ethical response #3

●Paragraph 5 ~ Your own personal ethical response

●Paragraph 6 ~ Conclusion: final thoughts about the issue

Length: Your paper should end up being between 3 and 5 pages.

Format: Please type your paper using 11 or 12 point font, and double-space the lines.

False Confessions & Eyewitness Identifications

False Confessions & Eyewitness Identifications

answer the following 4 questions, using the information of the 4 videos.

Prompt 1: As your learn from these materials, interrogation is a task of persuasion, not fact-finding. Do you think that this is an appropriate approach to the interrogation process?

Prompt 2: according to prompt 1, how do you protect against the problematic biases and tactics that you see that follow from the presumption of interrogated suspect’s guilt? If not, how do you compensate for the valuable role that true (rather than false) confessions play in solving crimes?

Prompt 3: Do you see a need for different interrogation guidelines for adults and juveniles? Under what conditions, if any, should juveniles be subjected to interrogations?

Prompt 4: Like confessions, eyewitness identifications are valued highly by juries. And like confessions, eyewitness identifications are far less reliable than juries and the public believe. Consider the standard procedures for lineup identifications described in the text and which you saw in the Central Park Five and Contaminated Memories. What could have been done, if anything, to protect against these false eyewitness identifications? What can be done in the future to prevent them?

  • Each answer must be a minimum of 15 sentences and adequately supported by a reference to at least one person, event, concept, or issue from one of the Video.
  • Across all four answers, you must reference all four Videos.
