Topic for PowerPoint Presentation

The Civil Right Rights Act of 1964. Each group member will pick a topic and thoroughly discuss the chosen topic. You should tell (1) why it is important, (2) how it has impacted the workforce, and (3) if that topic has impacted you. 

-7 Three men are trapped in a cave with no hope of rescue and no food. They roll dice to determine who will be killed and eaten by the others so that some may survive. The two survivors are unexpectedly rescued 10 days later and tried for murder. Judge A finds them guilty, saying that the unjustifiable killing of another is against the homicide laws of State X. He bases his decision solely on statutory law and case precedents interpreting the law. To which school of legal thought does Judge A belong? Explain.

2-8 Basing his decision on the same set of facts as given in Problem 2-7, Judge B rules that the survivors are not guilty because they were cut off from all civilized life, and in such a situation, the laws of nature apply, not manmade laws. To which school of legal thought does Judge B belong? Explain. 

2-9 Basing her decision on the same set of facts as given in Problem 2-7, Judge C rules that the two survivors are not guilty because, according to a scientific survey of the community by a professional polling organization, the public believes that the survivors actions were defensible. To which school of legal thought does Judge C belong? Explain. 

2-10 Imagine you are a sitting federal judge, and this case comes before you. A woman (x) charges another woman (y) with rape. Both have been partners for a five-year period. Both presently live in different states within the United States. Who would you decide the case in favor of? Explain, using one of the schools of thought outlined in this chapter. 

2-11 Madison and his adult son lived in a house owned by Madison. At the request of the son, Marshall painted the house. Madison did not authorize the work, but he knew that it was being done and raised no objection. However, Madison refused to pay Marshall, arguing that he had not contracted to have the house painted. Marshall asked his attorney if Madison was legally liable to pay him. The attorney told Marshall that, in their state, several appellate court opinions had established that when a homeowner allows work to be done on his home by a person who would ordinarily expect to be paid, a duty to pay exists. The attorney stated that, on the basis of these precedents, it was advisable for Marshall to bring a suit to collect the reasonable value of the work he had done. Explain what the attorney meant by precedent and why the fact that precedent existed was significant. 

2-12 Smith was involved in litigation in California. She lost her case in the trial court. She appealed to the California appellate court, arguing that the trial court judge had incorrectly excluded certain evidence. To support her argument, she cited rulings by the Supreme Court of North Dakota and the Supreme Court of Ohio. Both the North Dakota and Ohio cases involved facts that were similar to those in Smiths case. Does the California court have to follow the decisions from North Dakota and Ohio? Support your answer.

Please answer the following questions:

  1. Do you believe the term criminal justice system is an oxymoron? Why or why not?
  2. Identify a mala prohibita law(s) that exists in Florida which you believe should be decriminalized? Why?

classmate answered: 

“I believe that criminal justice is an oxymoron, I believe that the criminal justice system is broken and cannot be fixed regardless of the efforts to reduce or eliminate crime. Many are conflicted with what is and whats supposed to be within the criminal justice system as to where the criminal justice system is supposed to help our society in ways there and pros and cons within the criminal justice system and some things cannot be fixed. I feel as though the criminal justice system can be better within the entire process and over the years it has gotten worse, and it should be more fair and reliable for individuals to actually think that they have a chance rather then being scared or even not knowing how their life would turn out once in the system. I believe that drunk driving should be decriminalized due to the fact that being drunk or sober there can be accidents that are caused. There any many more accidents happening on a daily basis due to technology  and not paying attention along with many other reasons that may cause accidents. Even though an individual may have consumed liquor an act of wrong doing still has not been done. One has not committed anything to act as if it is a crime to drink while driving. Drunk driving has increased over the years but so has normal accidents on a regular every day basis that are more deadly than drunk driving. Drunk driving is dangerous but there is far more things that are more dangerous than drunk driving. Just because an individual consumes liquor does not mean that they are drunk because they get behind the wheel and it does not mean that one may be drunk driving to put another ones life in danger or at risk. “

Explain in 175 words why i disagree drunk driving should be decriminalized. 

Make sure your replies are a thoughtful and relevant to what your classmate has posted. Try to build the discussion and keep it going.

Assess the significance of locality and its applicability across a broad range of memory hierarchies. Expand on the justifications given in the chapter for why the locality principle is valid.

Time Value of Money, Opportunity Cost, and Income Taxes Worksheet

Scenario 1: Time Value of Money / Cash Management Products

1. Use this simple savings calculator to complete Scenario 1: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/finance/calculators/compoundinterestcalculator.php. You will enter the Initial Amount of Savings (Present Value), Annual Interest Rate (Rate of Return), and Number of Periods/Years into the calculator. The calculator will compute the Future Values.

In this scenario you will look at the impact of interest rates on your savings. Suppose that you have $2,000 of savings. You dont anticipate needing to dip into these funds in the next five years. Based on the information provided in the table, calculate the future value (FV) of $2,000 at the end of years 1 and 5 if it were to be completely invested in each of the different cash management products.   

Enter your answers in the indicated cells of the table below. The Restrictions/Fees on Product Usage column relates to question 2 of Scenario 1.

2. Based on your calculations and on all you have learned this week, how would you choose to save your $2,000? Consider things such as rate of return, inflation, taxes, liquidity, safety, restrictions, and fees, and explain the rationale for your decision. Respond in at least 50 words.  

Scenario 2: Time Value of Money / Compounding Interest 

3. Use this simple savings calculator to complete Scenario 2: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/finance/calculators/compoundinterestcalculator.php. You will enter the Initial Amount of Savings (Present Value), Annual Interest Rate (Rate of Return), Interest Compounded, and Number of Periods/Years into the calculator. The calculator will compute the Future Values.

 

In this scenario you will start with a big deposit and see how interest, compounding, and time will change the balance over time. Suppose that you inherit $10,000 from your late uncle. You save this money and do not deposit any more money to the account. Determine how much money you would have at the end of each of the periods for each of the scenarios in the table below, assuming that you dont make any withdrawals from the account over the period.

Scenario 3: Cost of Credit / Opportunity Cost / Trade-Offs 

5. In this scenario you will calculate the monthly payment and total interest paid on a car loan. Suppose that you need $15,000 to buy a used vehicle to get back and forth to work and school. You have $7,500 in a money market fund earning 1.00% per year, but you are not sure you want to use any or all of that money.  

Using the tables in Exhibit 1-D, located on pp. 42-43 in the Ch. 1 Appendix of Focus on Personal Finance, determine the total amount of payment due at the end of each year, and divide by 12 to estimate the monthly payment for each of the following loan scenarios. Also, calculate the total amount of interest you would pay over the life of each loan. Be sure to show your work for opportunities to earn partial credit, where applicable. 

For example, if you have the correct formula but put a decimal in the wrong spot you could earn partial credit. The first row in the table has been completed to demonstrate you how work can be shown.

  

Loan Amount 

Interest Rate 

Term 

Monthly Loan Payment = Amount Borrowed divided by Table Factor in Exhibit 1-D   divided by 12  

Total Amount of Interest = (Monthly Loan Payment * Term * 12) – Loan   Amount 

 

$7,500 

6% 

3 years 

Example:

7500/2.673=2,805.84

2,805.84/12= 233.82

Example:

(233.82*3*12) – 7,500= 917.52

 

$7,500 

6% 

5 years 

 

$10,000

Topic 3: Discussion Question 1 

Why is it important to create engagement at the beginning of a lesson? What strategies can you use to create engagement with students at the beginning of a lesson? Provide three examples.

Topic 3: Discussion Question 2 

You are teaching a second grade literacy lesson and you are introducing a new literacy concept during direct instruction. Before you begin your lesson, you ask your students some pre-assessment questions for understanding, but you are not getting the responses that you wanted from your students. It seems as though students are not prepared to begin this next literacy lesson.

As the teacher, how would you respond to this scenario, keeping in mind that assessment drives instruction?
