1.     Let's begin our discussion on recruitment by using a fact pattern from a litigated case. Cone Mills Corporation had several recruiting procedures that gave preferential treatment to applicants who either had family members or friends working for the company. One of these procedures was to give priority to applicants who had family members employed by the company. The other procedure entailed having an unwritten policy that walk-in applicants had to have renewed every two weeks. This created a situation where only those walk-in applicants who had friends or family in the company would renew their applications because they would be the only ones informed of the informal rule, which was not presented in any manual or policy. These recruiting procedures were challenged as being discriminatory towards blacks in general, especially black women, because the informal network responsible for recruiting new employees was unavailable to them. The company claimed that the procedures were not designated to be discriminatory, but rather, to create a loyal family atmosphere within the plant (Lea v. Cone Mills Corp., 3001 F. Supp. 97).   Should employers be able to recruit through employee referrals and word-of-mouth? Does the law allow for such a recruitment technique? What specific restrictions does Title VII place on an employer's ability to recruit and hire? As part of this discussion, refer to the cases of EEOC v. Chicago Miniature Lamp Works and EEOC v. Consolidated Service System in Chapter 4. 2.     Affirmative action is a topic that tends to elicit strong opinions. Exhibit 5-11 in Chapter 5 sets forth opposing views on the issue of affirmative action. In our attempt to discuss affirmative action from an employer and employee perspective, please read United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO v. Weber and the discussion of Johnson v. Transportation Agency, Santa Clara County, California in Chapter 5. Referencing the materials in the text, explain affirmative action in conjunction with Title VII mandates from a legal perspective. What limits, if any, does Title VII place on affirmative action? How can companies manage affirmative action programs to encourage widespread recruitment, but avoid the stigma of quota systems as charged by affirmative action critics? Let's have a great academic, professional threaded discussion about affirmative action.   Responses to my friend 1. Affirmative action can be defined as a set of procedures designed to prevent unlawful discrimination and provide equal opportunities in education, employment, and other areas for minorities, women and other individuals belonging to unprotected groups. The purpose of affirmative action is to make sure that all citizens are treated fairly under the law in looking for professional employment or seeking admission to an educational program. Reference: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/affirmative_action 2. This is sort of a tricky question when it comes to recruitment. I guess this depends on the situation itself on how quickly the company needs a candidate for the position. Sometime a company has very limit amount of time to fill a role when it is vacant, that is why companies want a two weeks notice for they can prepare for this change. A question can be asked did this employee really deserved the job, or did they get the job because they knew somebody in the company. The laws does allow companies to do this if the candidate have all the required skills and education to perform the duty offered. The Title Vll restricts employers for discrimination against race, religion, color, and sex. This has been a challenge for some companies, because immigration in the United States have been constantly growing. I think companies should give others outside a chance  to apply for the positions they are opening. The law does allow them to do so as long as the person meets the requirements, and other candidates are not being discriminated against under the TitleVll that was put into place.

   Instructions Legal & Ethical Scenarios This assignment is a continuation of the project started in Week 3. Read the scenarios and the questions that follow. Select any four (4) scenarios and the recommendations section, Scenario 8. Identify and analyze the legal issue(s).  Apply legal concepts and make potential arguments as directed using laws, cases, examples, and/or other relevant materials.  Consider using short headings (consult APA materials) to separate the topics.  Summarize the facts; do not copy the scenarios into the paper. Support your answers with information from the textbook and at least four scholarly sources other than the text and course lectures.  Sources must reference U.S. law.  By the due date assigned, prepare a 4 to 7 page paper that identifies the legal issues and potential solutions and answers all questions presented, supported by relevant legal authority.  Do not exceed the page length by more than two pages Scenario 1: Accident or Arson Peter Pablo , a shift supervisor in the distribution center, worked for Jabil Circuits for six years.   Peter is experienced in operating all of the machinery.  One day when Peter was upset with his boss, he did not turn off the package laminator, a machine used to seal packaging in plastic to reduce damage in transportation.  The machine overheated, caught fire and part of the warehouse burned to the ground, resulting in over a million dollars in damage to the building and contents.  Peter shows up to the remains of what was once his promising career   A slight smile forms as he realizes this whole incident is his fault for intentionally leaving on the laminator.   Peter calls his manager to tell him that the warehouse burned to the ground and he doesn’t know what caused the fire.  Fire marshals investigated and found out that the reason for the fire was the laminator was left on and either malfunctioned or overheated. Should Peter Pablo be found guilty of arson in this scenario?  Explain arguments for and against Peter Pablo.  Scenario 2:  Contracts – Formation and Breach As the purchasing manager, Russ looks for deals on office supplies and equipment.  An office supply company offered to sell Jabil six new industrial copy machines and four packaging machines for $15,000.  Russ thought the offer presented a great opportunity to replace the old equipment with new equipment.  Russ and the seller entered into an oral contract whereby Russ would pay the seller $15,000 cash on delivery to Jabil’s distribution center in St. Petersburg, Florida.  In the meantime, Russ lined up installers for the equipment.  When time came for delivery of the goods, the seller said that half of the copy machines  and packaging equipment had been sold to another company, but 3 copy machines and 2 packaging machines would be delivered.   What rights does Russ have related to the oral contract for the equipment?  Is the seller in breach of contract?  Discuss why or why not. Scenario 3: Contracts and Capacity Chet Gaines, the director in the real estate division of Jabil, met with Mack Smith about purchasing a large tract of land owned by Smith in Clearwater Florida.  Gaines knew the company planned to clear the property to create a new distribution center. Gaines judged Smith to be 80 to 85 years old.  During the meeting, Gaines noticed several brochures about dementia and assisted living facilities, as well as several prescription bottles sitting on the table.  After discussing the good old days for several hours, Gaines and Smith agreed on the sale of the land for $500,000.  Since Gaines brought a blank copy of a contract with him, he helped Smith complete the paperwork and both parties signed.  Unbeknownst to either party, the purchase price was written as $50,000.  On the day before the closing, Gaines called Smith to remind him of the location of their meeting to sign the remaining documents.  Confused, Smith said he didn't know anything about selling that land and he had no intention of selling his land to some young shyster who was still wet behind his ears and was trying to cheat him. What are the basic requirements for contract formation?  What defects in the contract formation process may have occurred? Does Gaines, on behalf of Jabil, have a valid contract with Smith? Scenario 4: Intellectual Property Jabil manufactures and sells electronics  in the United States and in foreign countries. It owns the federally registered Jabil trademark and has registered this trademark in Mexico as well. Juan Sanchez is a Mexican citizen residing in Tampa Florida, with business offices there. Jabil believed that Sanchez was in the business of selling counterfeit Jabil parts in Mexican border towns, such as Tijuana, Mexico. The company sought an injunction in a federal district court in Florida ordering Sanchez to cease his counterfeiting activity and to refrain from destroying certain documents. It also asked the court to freeze Sanchez’s  assets pending the outcome of a Lanham Act lawsuit. Sanchez contended that a U.S. district court has no jurisdiction or authority to enter the injunction for the activities allegedly occurring in Mexico.  Analyze the arguments for Jabil and Sanchez.  Determine the outcome and support your selection. Scenario 5:  Contracts Joy Martin was a nurse at Morton Plant Hospital when she was approached by Teresa Dawson, who was in charge of human resources at a competing medical facility, Bayfront Hospital. Dawson offered Martin a substantial raise to leave Morton Plant to work for Bayfront.  When Martin’s boss heard about the offer, he told her, “If you agree to stay with Morton Plant for at three years, I promise that next year you will receive a promotion with a 10% raise.”  Martin turned down Dawson’s offer and stayed with Morton Plant.  Eight months later, Martin was dismissed when Morton Plant was acquired by Bayfront.  Martin sued for breach of contract. Can Martin enforce her boss’s promise? What theory or theories would Martin use? Provide arguments for both sides, determine which party wins and provide support for your decision. Scenario 6:  Antitrust Jabil Circuits sold electronic parts to manufacturers and distributors.  Jabil established quantity discount rates that were published on the company’s customer portal and provided by mail once per year to all buyers.  A 25% discount was given to buyers purchasing more than 50 container loads in a calendar year.  Only three buyers out of approximately 150 customers purchased  50 or more containers; therefore, only three companies received the best discount.  A significant number of customers complained that the purchasing requirements were set too high and resulted in price discrimination. Evaluate whether violations of price discrimination laws occurred. Scenario 7: T orts and Negligence Ronnie was injured when a van driven by Toby slammed into Ronnie’s car.  The van belonged to Jabil and Toby was authorized to drive the van to and from work.   Toby was killed in the accident. The results of the investigation showed that Toby was traveling at a high rate of speed and his blood alcohol content exceeded the legal limit.  Ronnie sued Jabil Circuit and Toby’s estate for gross negligence and asked for compensatory and punitive damages. Will Ronnie recover?  Why or why not? If Ronnie recovers, which party/parties will be responsible?  Provide examples, laws or other relevant information to support your answer. Scenario 8:  Recommendations Conclude your paper by identifying and discussing ethical issues and providing recommendations for Jabil Circuit to help prevent future occurrences of legal  and ethical issues you addressed.    Be specific in your recommendations.

1. Look closely at Diego Rivera’s fresco Liberation of the Peon (1931; figure 34.7).  Rivera was one of the three Mexican artists whom the government commissioned after the 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution to paint murals focused on Mexican history (see https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-1010/art-between-wars/latin-american-modernism1/a/mexican-muralism-los-tres-grandes-david-alfaro-siqueiros-diego-rivera-and-jos-clemente-orozco).      After reading the information in your textbook plus additional REPUTABLE online texts on the artist as well as the Mexican Revolution (see:  http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2011/rivera/content/mural/liberation/detail.php, and,  http://www.neh.gov/humanities/2010/januaryfebruary/statement/the-art-influence), describe the fresco in detail and explain its role as an educational tool for the people (minimum of 75 words).    2. The 20th century and modern art are characterized by an expansion of art media.  One of the foremost and most influential media of the 20th century is film.  On YouTube (see links below), please, watch the final speech of Charlie Chaplin’s character in the Great Dictator (1940; about 4.4 minutes), and then watch the first 10 minutes of Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (1934; figure 34.13, p. 423 in your textbook). BEFORE WATCHING BOTH CLIPS and BEFORE WRITING YOUR RESPONSE to this assignment, you are REQUIRED to READ the information in your textbook as well as REPUTABLE online information about BOTH FILMS.  Knowledge about the films will help you to understand better what you see.  While it would be preferable to watch the films in their entirety, this requires several additional hours, and thus, it is not mandatory; however, please, allow me to recommend the Chaplin movie to you!  After having gained more knowledge, compare and contrast the effect of each clip on the viewer.  Who initialized each film and what purpose did each filmmaker have in mind?  Pay special attention to the film techniques invented and implemented by Leni Riefenstahl and the manipulative effects on the contemporary (i.e. 1934) German audience.  How does each film influence its audience?  Again, make sure that you educate yourself regarding both films.  You need to understand the contents and the purpose of each film before answering and writing your response.   Write 150 words. Final Speech in Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PMPmyf0wX4 Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (1934) – watch the first 10 minutes of the film (from the beginning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHs2coAzLJ8Elaborate on the style in comparison to late Italian Medieval frescoes, especially Giotto’s Lamentation (see the moma-site quoted above) and relate Rivera’s revolutionary painting to Christian imagery of the Crucifixion of Christ and the Deposition from the Cross.  What effect did Rivera’s art works have on Mexico’s self-image?  Your answer needs to contain information about Mexico’s history at the time.   Write a minimum of an additional 75 words.   3. According to Fiero, which artist in chapter 35 commented on “matters of alienation, social injustice, and the failure of communication in modern life” (this is a quote from your textbook which you are asked to retrieve to answer this question)?   List the name of the artist, the title, date, and the figure number in Fiero, and referring to the work by the artist illustrated in Fiero, explain how the artist accomplishes this in two sentences (minimum).
