Grantham Univercity American Government 2 Discussions

In Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton argued that the judiciary was the least dangerous branch of government. Many people would argue that Hamilton was incorrect and that today’s courts wield an enormous amount of power. However, Hamilton believed the courts were the least dangerous branch because they had the power of neither the purse nor the sword. The courts’ power increased with John Marshall’s establishment of judicial review.All presidents are concerned with the legacy they leave once out of office and major influence on this legacy is the Supreme Court justices they appoint. For this reason, politics plays an immense role the nomination process. Consider the nomination of Merrick Garland by Barack Obama in 2016 to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia (an icon of conservative ideology). However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared any appointment by the sitting president to be null and void. He said the next Supreme Court justice should be chosen by the next president ? to be elected later that year. According to McConnell, “the American people should have a say in the court’s direction. It is a president’s constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate’s constitutional right to act as a check on the president and withhold its consent.” Supreme Court picks have often been controversial but there was no precedence to ignore the nominee entirely. Scalia?s seat would later be filled by Neil Gorsuch (nominated by President Donald Trump).Based on this information (and your own outside research), analyze the process by which U.S. judges are nominated and confirmed. Does this seem like a fair process? What extent does it have on the political lean of the Court, and therefore, on United States law (specifically civil rights and civil liberties)? Cite specific examples. Consider the concepts of judicial activism and judicial restraint in your response.Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. It may be helpful to reference the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources. In addition, you will also need to post two substantial responses (about 150-200words) to at least two of your classmates’ posts.One of the most divisive and economically pressing questions in U.S. domestic policy over the last several decades has been healthcare. The United States spends twice as much in terms of Gross Domestic Product on healthcare as the next biggest spender in the advanced world, and yet our average lifespan is less than most of the countries on the list. The debate in the U.S. is over whether or not healthcare should be a part our larger commercial system, and hence accessed through private insurers giving the consumer more “choice,” or whether healthcare access should be guaranteed to all through either a hybrid public/private system (like Obamacare) or a more robust public system in which healthcare is guaranteed to all residents through a government-run healthcare program, with a potential downside of having less “choice” in such a system. Public polling suggests that there is no bigger public policy issue that Americans care about as much as healthcare at this point in our nation’s history. For the discussion, which of the various options listed above (or options that you have researched on your own) do you support as the way forward for the American healthcare system? Explain your answer, arguing for its superiority over the other options.Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words)

University of Florida Discussions: Financial Management

Explain the purpose and the format of the statement of cash flows. Also, describe its relevance to decision makers.The statement of cash flows is considered a major financial statement, along with the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of stockholders? equity. The statement of cash flows, however, provides much information and answers certain questions that the other three statements do not. It has replaced the statement of changes in financial position, and its presentation is required whenever an income statement is prepared.The statement of cash flows shows the effect on cash and cash equivalents of the operating, investing, and financing activities of a company for an accounting period. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments such as money market accounts, commercial paper (short-term notes), and U.S. Treasury bills. Short-term investments (marketable securities) are not considered cash equivalents. Must be three paragraphs six lines in length with a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed references in APA Format.

Counterpoint: According to Romano (2004), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), in which Congress introduced a series of corporate governance initiatives into the federal securities laws are not just a considerable change in law but also a departure in the mode of regulation. The federal regime had until then consisted of disclosure requirements, rather than substantive corporate governance mandates, which were traditionally left to state corporate law and were not part of the federal security regime. Federal courts had, enforced such a view of the regime?s strictures, by characterizing the efforts of the SEC to extend its domain into substantive corporate governance as beyond its jurisdiction.Must be three paragraphs six lines in length with a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed references in APA Format.

Available at SSRN: Why would a company consider going public? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages?A public offering of stock can help a company gain prestige by creating a perception of stability. A company’s founders, co-founders, and managers gain an enormous amount of personal prestige from being associated with a client that goes public. By selling stock on an exchange, companies can gain additional exposure and become better known. This exposure may lead to improved recognition and business operations. The public status can be leveraged when marketing goods and services. Often a company’s suppliers and consumers become shareholders, which may encourage continued or increased business. In this example, a public company could have a competitive advantage over a private enterprise. An IPO can indicate credibility to a company’s customers, which may lead to increased sales and a greater corporate profile. Once a company goes public, lenders and suppliers may perceive the company as safer credit risk, enhancing the opportunities for favorable financing terms. Also, a public offering can create publicity that is effective when marketing a company.Must be three paragraphs six lines in length with a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed references in APA Format.

Use peer-reviewed articles to support your thoughts!Briefly describe the current International Monetary System. How does the Current systems differ from the system that was in place prior to August 1971? Prior to 1971, the world operated on a fixed exchange rate system. The value of the U. S. Dollar link to gold at the fixed price of $35 per ounce and the values of other currencies then tied to the dollar; For example, in 1964, the British pound was fixed at $2.80 for 1 pound, with a 1 percent permissible fluctuation around this rate. Thus, the British government had regularly intervened in the foreign exchange Market to keep the pound in the range of $2.77 to $2.83. When the pound fell, the Bank of England had to buy pounds, offering either foreign currencies or gold in Exchange. Conversely, if the pound reached the top of the range, the Bank of England would sell pounds. The official exchange rates were occasionally ?reset? to reflect changing economic conditions. The current international monetary system for most industrialized nations is a floating rate system. In this system, currency exchange rates allowed to fluctuate in response to market conditions with a minimum of governmental intervention. Changes in currency demand can be due to trade deficits (i.e., one nation imports more from another nation than it does exports, causing there to be higher relative demand for the currency of the bigger exporter). It can also be due to capital movements. For example, if interest rates are relatively high in one country, then investors might seek to purchase that country?s securities, which increases demand for that country?s currency?Must be three paragraphs six lines in length with a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed references in APA Format.

According to Stahl (2006), merger or acquisition promises to create value from some synergy. Statistics show that the benefits that look so good on paper often do not materialize. The failure of an M&A is frequently blamed on a clash of cultures between the merging companies that resulted in major integration problems and undermined the success of the deal. For example, an internal study conducted by Siebel Systems (which was recently acquired by Oracle) revealed that all of the company’s acquisitions had failed because of “cultural conflicts.” In other cases, deals had fallen through before they were sealed because the culture of the two companies was vastly different. When the proposed merger between Monsanto and American Home Products was called off in 1998, for example, the failure of the deal was attributed to conflicting management styles and the fact that the two CEOs could not agree on a power-sharing arrangement. A Wall Street Journal article concluded: “Another drug industry mega-merger goes bust: Clash of cultures kills Monsanto-AHP marriage”(p.3). Reference Stahl, G.K. (2006). Synergy springs from Cultural Revolution Cultural differences between merging companies are often blamed when M&as fail to achieve anticipated synergies. Financial Times (London, England), pg.3.

ÿ
Critical Thinking Case studies:ÿ
It came to the attention of the Mr. Faisal Al Qarni, CEO of a Alqarni company (A small Jeddah based company) that there was a difficulty between two employees who had been working together for some time but recently appeared to have major differences that were affecting their entire department.ÿ
Two employees Amal and Haifa had been working together for a few years. They were in the same department and reported to the same departmental manager. Amal had been at the company longer and was senior to Haifa.ÿÿ
Mr. Faisal was being approached by both Amal and Haifa at different times. They complaint against each other about the harassment and bullying. Mr. Faisal asked HR Manager to listen their issues and try to resolve as soon as possible. HR Manager has spent increasing amounts of time speaking to them, taking notes of their points and comments, meeting with their department manager.ÿ
Haifa had felt under pressure from Amal since she joined the company. She raised the issue with her departmental manager; however, she felt that nothing had changed. Both the parties were accusing the other of bullying and harassment.ÿ
Amal had a no-nonsense approach and felt that some aspects of Haifa?s work needed improvement. She had asked for these changes in ways that she felt had been clear and fair. Haifa kept going to management with the allegation of bullying by Amal.ÿ
Haifa felt her work performance had been made subject to very public comment in team meetings and she felt embarrassed and singled out. She felt she could do no right as far as Amal was concerned. She liked her job. It was close to her home so she was able to take her children to school and pick them up on her way home.ÿ

DISCUSSION 1: Discussion: Stress and the Adult College Student In a recent survey by Cengage, results showed the vast majority (79%) of adult college students say their experience in college has been ?moderate,? (versus 9% who say it has been difficult), suggesting that adult learners (who began college later) may actually have an advantage over traditional students who started college right after high school.Adult college students may have an advantage because they have had more time to learn how to manage stress.

The key takeaway from an implied warranty of merchantability is that a company does not have to write on the product or tell their customers the product will work for its intended use, rather the law already guarantees customers that the product will work and is up to industry standards. Analyze and explain specifically how and why GC could be sued for breach of implied warranty of merchantability under product liability law for using EPI cleaning products to clean GC clients’ commercial property. `GC could be sued because, under the implied warranty of merchantability, products in the market are supposed to be safe. Under the law, “Manufacturers, distributors, and vendors are held responsible for the injuries resulting from accidents caused by defective products” (Baldwin Hare & McGovern, 1998).
