Intentional Torts Negligence and Strict Liability

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment Law, Not applicable

LuAnn Plonski alleged that after shopping at a Kroger Co. grocery store in Indianapolis, Indiana, during afternoon hours, she proceeded to the stores parking lot (where her car was parked), placed her purse in the shopping cart she was using, opened the trunk of her car, and began loading her groceries into the trunk. She noticed that a man was walking toward her. He did not appear to be a Kroger employee (and, in fact, was not a Kroger employee). The man began running toward Plonski, who grabbed her purse and tried to run away but did not succeed. The man grabbed Plonski and her purse. He then picked her up, threw her in the trunk of the car, and began slamming the trunk lid on her legs. When the man looked away, Plonski jumped out of the trunk and ran into the Kroger store. The man then left the scene with Plonskis purse.

In an effort to collect damages for her injuries and the loss of her purse, Plonski filed a negligence lawsuit against Kroger in an Indiana court. After completion of discovery in the case, Kroger moved for summary judgment. Kroger argued that it owed no duty to Plonski and that even if it did owe a duty, there was no breach. In connection with its motion, Kroger provided affidavits from its risk manager and safety manager. Those affidavits asserted that the Kroger store in whose parking lot the incident occurred is located in a part of the city that has a reputation for low levels of criminal activity and that in the two-year period before the incident at issue, there had been only one report of criminal activity occurring on the stores premises. Plonski responded to Krogers motion by citing her deposition testimony and other evidence. The trial court denied Krogers summary judgment request, and the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed. Kroger appealed to the Supreme Court of Indiana.

How do you believe that the Indiana Supreme Court should rule on whether Kroger owed a duty to Plonski and on whether Kroger was entitled to summary judgment? Post your answers and the legal rationale for your answer.

Plaintiff was standing on a platform of defendant’s railroad after buying a ticket to go to Rockaway Beach. A train stopped at the station, bound for another place. Two men ran forward to catch it. One of the men reached the platform of the car without mishap, though the train was already moving. The other man, carrying a package, jumped aboard the car, but seemed unsteady as if about to fall. A conductor on the car, who had held the door open, reached forward to help him in, and another conductor on the platform pushed him from behind. In this act, the package was dislodged, and fell upon the rails. It was a package of small size, about fifteen inches long, and was covered by a newspaper. In fact it contained fireworks, but there was nothing in its appearance to give notice of its contents. The fireworks exploded when they fell. The shock of the explosion threw down some scales at the other end of the platform, many feet away. The scales struck the plaintiff, causing injuries for which she sues.

In this scenario, do you believe the railroad should be liable for the injuries suffered by the plaintiff? Please post your answer here.

Experience ancient people’s life

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment History, MLA

**This essay should be based on PERSONAL experience & feelings. If you decided to use outside sources for references please keep it at MINIMAL.

Assignment Goal:

One important factor to keep in mind when studying history is to understand that people
in the past (especially the ancient past) experienced and viewed the world in much
different ways than we do in 2020. The purpose of these experiments is to get you
thinking about their reality in a different way than you do by reading documents or
looking at images and artifacts. Experiencing the activities is much different from just
imagining yourself doing them, so its important that you at least try to complete them.
You will also get much more out of them if you make the effort. Even if you fail to
complete them you can and should explore in your essays why that was the case.

Assignment Description:

It can be difficult to imagine just how dark the world can be without electric light and the
impact this had on the way people thought and acted.

a) Try for one evening to do everything by candlelight or its equivalent (i.e. a small
flashlight or similar app on a smartphone). Try and avoid activities that generate
their own light (watching t.v., texting, etc). Some things might be easy to do
but what about other tasks like cooking or reading?

b) Take some friends or family along and go for a walk somewhere really dark using
only minimal light. It may be hard to find a place in a city because of all the light
pollution but you shouldnt have to go too far away. Somewhere with trees is
ideal.

Think about what it would have been like to do this in a world without GPS or cell
phones and where there are no scientific explanations to help understand the sounds you
hear or the creatures that may (or may not) live there. Imagine that there could be
dangerous creatures including the natural (bears) and supernatural (spirits). Describe your walk, your responses to it and imagine how it would have felt in the pre-modern world.

Evaluate Learning Experiences

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education

Imagine that you are a behavioral consultant at a community-based parenting center. Your job is to review cases to determine if the behavioral interventions planned by the staff are appropriate. Review the brief case descriptions below:

Scenario 1: Mrs. Levinsky has come to the clinic for help with her 9-year old sons messiness. She is a working mother and doesnt have time to pick up after her children. Her older girls are neat and tidy, but Leo is very messy. He never makes his bed and his toys are usually thrown on the floor. His school clothes lie in piles on his chair and his desk is usually so messy that he is often late for school because he has to search for his books and notebooks buried in the mess on his desk. He spends most of his afterschool hours texting his friends or playing computer games. His grades are good, but his personal habits are frustrating to his mother. Leo himself says that his mom is too picky and he has no problem with his room as it is.

The consultant on the case, Kim Lee, suggests a behavior contingency program. Leo has until 5 p.m. everyday, when his mom comes home from work, to get his room clean and tidy. If the room is not tidy, then Leo will be punished by not being allowed outside to play.

Scenario 2: Mr. and Mrs. Kamali are upset about their 3-year old sons aggressive behavior. Lately, Basem has begun to smash his toys, or to bang on the doors and tables in the home and has actually managed to put some holes and scratches in some of the familys furniture. The family has had to remove all decorative pieces from the coffee tables and keep all glasses and breakables out of his reach. He seems to take great delight in this behavior and laughs with glee while he smashes and crushes his toys and other belongings. His parents always react by scolding him or picking him up and taking him out of the room to make him busy with something else, depending on their mood. Mr. Kamalis grandparents, who live in an upstairs apartment and take care of Basem until their parents return home from work in the afternoon, say that its nothing, hes just being a boy. They find some of his antics even cute and often laugh when he goes into his aggressive mode.

The caseworker suggests a program of extinction. The parents are to ignore the aggressive behavior altogether and neither scold Basem, nor pick him up and play with him when he does this.

Scenario 3: Seven-year old Tania is always teasing her younger brother Derrick. She hides Derricks favorite blanket, taunts him, and always seems to know how to make him cry. Her mother cant leave them alone for even a minute without worrying about what Tania will do to Derrick. She has never done anything violent or physically harmful, but she usually upsets Derrick so much that mother has to take time from her cooking or part time at home office work to calm the children. Whenever mother tries to scold Tania, Tania objects saying, I didnt do anything. I was just playing. Why do you always pick on me?

The caseworker suggests punishing Tania by sending her to her room any time she is in the room with Derrick when he starts to cry.

Next, write a paper identifying which scenarios you would okay for further development, and which scenarios need to be reframed using different behavioral techniques. Explain your evaluations using principles learned in the readings. Include in your assessment what behavioral change principles are involved in the program each case worker is suggesting and explain why you believe the suggested principles would work or not. Then, choose one of these cases and develop a complete behavioral change program. In your behavioral change program, explain your program goals, how you would track progress, and what techniques or principles you would follow and why.

Support your paper with at least three scholarly resources from peer-reviewed journals published in the past 5 years. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 3-6 pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Nursery Rhyme Comic Review

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), English and Literature

Do the visuals end up telling a new story, and how does that happen here? For example, whats the intertextuality of the verbal and visual texts (complementary/complimentary/counterpointing) and why? How does the size and shape of the panels contribute to the way the verbal story is told? Explore how visual elements add to the narrative. (Dont choose all seven of the visual elements, just one or perhaps two to develop your analysis). So what is the new story thats created here (if one is)?  How effectively is it done? Use specifics to support your argument. (Even though you can’t “quote” a visual in the same way you can a word, you can come close. Providing very specific examples will give your argument support and allow opportunities to explore the “so what” of the pictures for analysis.)
