...Case Name: Coady v. Harpo, Inc. Plaintiff: Elizabeth Coady Defendant: Harpo, Inc. Citation: 719 NE 2d 244 Facts: Coady appeals the dismissal of her cause of action seeking a declaratory judgment that a confidentiality policy established by defendant Harpo, Inc., was unenforceable against plaintiff, a former employee of defendant. Issue: This appeal raises three issues as to whether (1) the proper forum to consider the dispute is the court or an arbitration panel; (2) plaintiff waived any challenge to the validity of a confidentiality agreement executed in 1995, as distinguished from the confidentiality agreement which is included in defendant's 1996 employee manual; and (3) the confidentiality agreement is an enforceable restrictive covenant Rule: We find that the court is the proper forum to consider the validity of the contested agreement, that waiver does not apply, and that the confidentiality agreement is enforceable. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's decision to dismiss plaintiff's cause of action and to compel arbitration as to the operation of the agreement. Analysis: Coady, writing a tell all book would be breaching a contract that she signed; however, she does not see the Confidentiality “agreement” as a binding one because it was grouped with business ethics in her contract as well as a standalone document. Because they did not take the time to separate the two they made it seem like it was a normal request, this is what we would like you to do...

...Parenting in modern society is a very controversial matter: what is considered too much, or not enough? While some parents are overprotective and thronging with affection towards a child, others can be emotionally vacant and lacking the capacity to care for a child. Such circumstances are apparent with one extreme occurring in the short story “Jesus Christ Murdeena” by Lynn Coady and the other extreme occurring in the short story “The Art of Cooking and Serving” by Margaret Atwood. Lynn Coady illustrates the style of parenting in which the mother is too involved and emotionally overbearing towards the daughter, Murdeena. In contrast, Margaret Atwood demonstrates the style of parenting in which the parent is without warmth and is inconsiderate towards the daughter, who is the narrator. Even though the stories contrast, they both serve to express a common truth, which is that parenting and parents have a great deal of influence on their children, resulting in emotional adversities. In the beginning of the short story “The Art of Cooking and Serving”, it is revealed that the narrator is affected by her mother’s parenting, causing her age to be distorted. The daughter appears to be far more advanced in her years than in actuality. She is envisioned through clear imagery, “knitting … doggedly” (Atwood, 434), which forms a suggestion of an elderly presence. The narrator, in reality is only eleven years old. Yet, it is due to the fact that she has to care for herself - because...

...For centuries, the fairy tale Cinderella, that everyone has come to know and love has been told in many different countries and in a variety of ways. Although each story is different, they all have similar meaning and each one "demonstrates how universal the Cinderella story is, as well as how unique each version is to the particular culture out which it grew" (Tam and Cam, 2012 Pg 194). Little girls all over the world are told some type of Cinderella story and they grow up dreaming that one day they'll be a princess just like the characters in the stories. They will find their prince charming to sweep them off their feet. However, these manipulative stories tend to teach girls that they do not need to be dependent on a man to take care of them. Girls should not grow up with that idea in their head, they should be told from the beginning that through patience and determination anything they set their mind to can happen without the reliance of anyone but themselves. The Cinderella characters are presented as civil and obedient young women. In "The Twelve Months", Marouckla, who was the "Cinderella like character" lost her father and was stuck living with her stepmother and step sister. She had to do all of the chores and wait on them hand and foot. They both treated Marouckla as a nuisance and whatever her stepmother asked, she did. "The stepmother also added her threats to those of Helen, and with vigorous blows they pushed Marouckla outside and shut the door upon her. The...

...Bottom-Up and Top-Down Skills In the past, the bottom-up and top-down methods were taught for reading skills. The bottom-up reading method is involved with several subskills like word recognition, morphosyntactic parsing, phonological processing, access and lexical recognition. The visual information from the text is required to gather and then use the processing of the structure and the meaning of larger syntactic untis, i.e. phrases or sentences. The top-down reading skills were considered to be additive or compensatory after the bottom-up processing is achieved. Moreover, second-language learners are required to have a fluent recognition of words before acquiring text-processing skills. Together with word recognition fluency, morphophonemic structure of words and phrases, bottom-up processing has shifted the teaching method of reading to young and adult second-language learners. For young school-age and older leaners, teachers are required to begin with teaching visual appreance of words, sound letter relationships and development of word recognition fluency before developing top-down skills. However, the second-launguage learners must be familiar with the reading fundamentals before benefiting from the top-down instruction method. Reading and Vocabulary In the 1970s and 1980s, the teaching of vocabulary was secondary to the teaching of reading. At present, it is widely agreed that vocabulary knowledge is key importance to the teaching of reading. According to Hu...

A CASE FOR COMMUNITY BASED TARGETING IN KOLE DISTRICT. PRESENTED BY ANDREW NEWTON OGEI odrew2002@yahoo.com RS15M13/602 MASTERS OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background Social transfers are increasingly seen as a key tool in Eastern and Southern Africa to combat the triple threat of chronic poverty, hunger and HIV/AIDS (Hyper & Veras, 2012).Social transfers have over the years been the main focus for most aid organisation and multilateral agencies in transferring aid and support to developing countries. These social transfers take the form of cash or in-kind transfer. They are also in form of conditional and unconditional social transfers. According to World Bank, Cash transfers are defined as the provision of assistance in the form of cash to the poor or to those who face a probable risk of falling into poverty in the absence of the transfer. In Africa, these cash transfer programme are being used as a means to fight and eradicate poverty. These programme target different categories of vulnerable groups such as; elderly persons, children, orphans, women, widows and people with disability. In Africa cash transfer programmes are being implemented in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to mention but a few. Modest but regular and predictable income transfers helps...

...Humanitarian intervention is a label that has been employed to describe economic to military intervention. The main types of intervention include military, diplomatic, developmental and economic sanction. Mill’s (1859) stated that "There seems to be no little need that the whole doctrine of non-interference with foreign nations should be reconsidered, if it can be said to have as yet been considered as a really moral question at all... To go to war for an idea, if the war is aggressive, not defensive, is as criminal as to go to war for territory or revenue; for it is as little justifiable to force our ideas on other people, as to compel them to submit to our will in any other respect”. This essay will demonstrate how humanitarian intervention efforts are not reaching the goals that are needed to properly aid the disadvantaged nations in developing nations. Economic humanitarian intervention emerged at the end of the Second World War. Historically, it is apparent that foreign aid was used explicitly to prevent the expansion of communism during the Cold War, and not solely to help those in need. It can be argued that humanitarian intervention has done more harm than good to the nations. Northern/ Western countries have enriched themselves from their unequal relation with Southern either under colonialism or under the trading system, which has the Southern nations paying more towards their ongoing debt and receiving an irrelevant amount of foreign aid to help assist these nations...

...and people fighting against each other. The society was characterized with the ideology of the survival for the fittest. People scrambled for limited resources that were available. As a result, the weakest members of the society were disadvantaged and faced with the threat of extinction (Furfey, 2005). People later recognized the importance of putting the social chaos to a stop and signing social contracts that would enable members of the community to co-exist peacefully. Members of the society transferred their rights to some few individuals who were bestowed with the duty of leading the society. This era paved way for the formation of various democratic societies, and increased interest in social studies by various sociologists (Coady, 2005). One such sociologist is Mary Wollstonecraft, whose sociological work largely transformed subsequent studies, formation, ideologies and inclinations of the society towards women, education and human rights (Browning et al, 1999). This essay is going to critically evaluate the works of Mary Wollstonecraft as well as a critical analysis of the socialist contribution to the sturdy of the society. The essay will also evaluate the impacts of the sociologist’s ideas on current sociological studies regarding the society. Discussion Background information Mary Wollstonecraft was born on 27th April 1759 and died on 10th September 1797. She was considered a prolific writer, a staunch advocate for women rights and a philosopher...

...13,2013 Annotated bibliography My first author is Jerome ump. Bump believes that racism is an form of emotion. As if you’re happy, sad, cheerful, you can feel racist. He states “that is unfortunate especially because emotions often generate more energy for reform of race, class, and gender inequities than abstractions.” I would never think that someone would feel racist. My next author is Kim Crosby. Crosby thinks that racism is surrounding us even today. She gave examples of how famous African American superstars are judged. “All of us, we are affected deeply by everything around us in the media to the underrepresentation of others.” If you’re successful it shouldn’t matter the color of your skin. This is LeAnne Coady on racism. I like Coady’s beliefs because she says we are all equal. “We have been told that everyone is a child of God and we are all created equal.” Amen! My fourth author Janine Johnson. Johnson’s idea on racism expands from your sex, religion, height, weight etc. “These minority characters struggle to succeed in 1940s society because they are not white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and financially secure. Really people can hate on you for the littlest thing. Mary smith is my fifth author. Smith’s theory is she believes that the white man started all the madness; smith says “It’s not just Pecola who brings about this reaction, for each time white people come into contact with the blackness.” Lucky number seven...

One of her novels, HellGoing consists of many stories with different genres and interpretations. Such as, how judgments, attraction and addiction affect everyone in so many ways.

...The honesty of our democratically elected politicians is constantly scrutinised by their constituents, peers, the press and the nation as a whole. The recent expenses scandal provides an example as to why national and global societies have suspicious feelings toward the intentions of politicians. This essay will highlight the fact that the role of a professional politician, where instant decisive and important decisions need to be made, and the context sometimes require democratically elected politicians, engaged in a social contract with the electorate, to lie to safeguard the greater good of national and global citizens. Due to the volume of theory and discourse related to this topic, it would not be practical to analyse all aspects to this question. However, this essay will examine the following: first, it will look at the unique nature of the role of a politician, followed by an overview of the social contract theory and the contributions made to it by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Rawls. Then, the work of Niccolo Machiavelli and the notion of Reason of State will be examined, followed, in turn, by Utilitarianism, commenting on the contributions of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This will be done before going onto balance the essay by introducing a counterargument offered by Idealism. Finally, to contextualise the thesis, there will be a contemporary example given of a world leader having to lie for the greater good of global citizens for...
