How would you explain the lawmaking structure of the United States to someone totally unfamiliar with the Constitution?

1. How would you explain the lawmaking structure of the United States to someone totally unfamiliar with the Constitution? Specifically, what is federalism and why does it create fifty-two lawmaking jurisdictions in the United States.

 

2. After reading the opinion Duncan v. Louisiana, 88 S. Ct. 1444, (1968), explain the following:

  • Which Constitutional amendment is at issue in the case, and what is the importance of the rights it encompasses?
  • What did the United States Supreme Court decide in this case and why?
  • Tip: When reading and analyzing a written case decision (a court opinion), use I.R.A.C. as a framework.  Issue Rule Analysis Conclusion.  What is the Issue (the legal question) the Court is deciding which determines the result of the case? What Rule or law is the Court applying? How did the Court apply the Rule or law to the facts of the case to answer the Issue to be decided (Analysis)?  How did the Court ultimately reach a Conclusion and what was the result (i.e. Defendant was deprived of her 4th Amendment right against unlawful search and seizure)?
discuss how such a difference might have an impact on financial statement analysis, or if you believe that it would. 

In this week’s discussion, we will be looking at some of the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which is the set of accounting rules followed by just about every industrialized nation outside the U.S.  While there are many similarities between the two systems, there are also some significant differences.  After learning a little bit about some of the similarities and differences, please reflect somewhat on how these differences might impact financial statement analysis, or if you think they actually would.

Conduct research to find out one or more differences that exist between balance sheets that are prepared using U.S. GAAP and those prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  Explain the difference and if there seems to have been a move in recent years toward convergence of the two systems.  Finally, discuss how such a difference might have an impact on financial statement analysis, or if you believe that it would.  Make sure to provide APA format citations and references for your sources.

How do you see critical thinking employed in the situation? Were there other strategies that might have been employed to come to the resolution?

PROMPT

A few years ago, I began helping a start-up company get off the ground; the company was essentially a youth esports league that trained them in the games and business side of the sport. When I began with Game Crossing, I implemented a database, graphics, and the business’s administrative process. The founder wanted to include three of us: his neighbor, my fiancé, and myself in his business to discuss membership shares in the limited liability company. During the shares meeting, I learned he would combine my percent with my fiancé’s to equal the individual amounts allocated to himself and his neighbor. This action caused an argument; I was the only female and felt like the work I was putting in was not being seen or appreciated and that I was not seen as my own person. We did not conclude the meeting that night but instead paused and set a date later in the week to regroup our thoughts and examine the situation. After cooling down, I studied the problem and asked myself a series of questions, including looking at the conflict through the owner’s eyes. This was his company; he was bringing extra people in, and letting go of control of his “baby” was not easy. Knowing what I know now about businesses, even writing our names into ownership is a big deal because one member leaving a non-public company can dissolve it. During the examination process, my fiancé and I reached out to the owner to express our concerns and gauge his reasoning for combining our percentage. After going back and forth, we discussed our problems; he felt I did not care at the same level due to my availability, and I could not drive to every tournament due to a retail schedule. I was worried that the work I had done was unused or unacknowledged. But ultimately, we came up with a way to split the membership fairly, considering the owner’s past investments in the company. Our agreement was that the owner would retain his share, and the other three of us would get a smaller percentage with the option to buy in up to twenty-five percent. I was much happier with this deal and believe overall it was fair to the owner as well; he retained the investment he put in and kept all members on an equal footing.

However, this situation brought up uneasiness about what future disagreements could do. I had to sit back, answer crucial questions, and evaluate what was best for myself and my family moving forward. The most important question is why am I helping at Game Crossing; what was my goal and what was I trying to gain? And my answer was that it was a way to spend time with my son and fiancé; It was a family project and was not really something I was passionate about as a career. During my internal questioning and questioning with my partner, I discovered that our friendship with the founder was more beneficial and the esports industry was not for me. After these realizations, I talked to Victor and currently help Game Crossing in a consultant capacity, and even helped them rebrand.

Discussion: Social Work History, Mission, and Your Role

You may arrive at this course with a background in a helping profession. Perhaps you work at an agency that helps children, or you have seen an opportunity to further support aging populations through your work in an assisted living home.

Perhaps you or a family member have been helped by a service you didn’t even know existed, experiencing firsthand the transformative power of social work. Or, you may have looked at the community around you and felt a calling to do more.

These touchpoints of inspiration are not naïve or overly simplistic. In fact, this week’s selection of videos features similar stories of inspiration turned to practice from social workers with long tenures in the field. In this Discussion, you explore how your social work inspiration aligns with the inspiration of others.

To Prepare

· Watch the videos about social work and different types of social work practice in the Learning Resources.

· Read about the social work profession.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following:

· Provide an introduction of yourself including:

· Name

Write a 700- to 1,050-word brief describing the ethical issues for prosecutors and defense attorneys.

The chances that you will face ethical dilemmas in the workplace are almost certain. This is true for defense attorneys and prosecutors too. It’s important to practice proper discretion. How will you analyze and solve the ethical dilemmas you face? Read and reflect on the Ethical Dilemmas exploration activities each week to help you complete this activity.

Assume you are a law student studying a case in which a serial killer has been accused of committing five murders of female students at a university in a major city. You have been asked to summarize ethical violations that may be committed by either a prosecutor or defense attorney engaged in this trial.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word brief describing the ethical issues for prosecutors and defense attorneys. Answer the following:

-What types of ethical violations and punishments have been associated with prosecutors and defense attorneys?

-What are the explanations for prosecutorial misconduct? Provide real-world examples of prosecutorial misconduct. The Jodi Arias case is a great example of a prosecutor stretching the limits of what is proper conduct and what is a clear violation.

-What role might discriminatory practice based on race, ethnicity, religion or sex play in such misconduct? Provide real-world examples.

-Should attorneys be punished more or less than the standard criminal defendants? Explain your answer.
