...For years a popular controversial subject Texas has been talking about is the legalization of marijuana. Many people believe it should be legal and many believe just the opposite of that. Marijuana is not some dangerous drug that can take your life, that’s not what makes it illegal. Marijuana first became illegal in the 1910’s. In western states, it was a fear of Mexican immigrants who used the plant and in eastern states it was a fear of African Americans who used cannabis to take advantage of white women (Hoff). Although illegal now, the effects of legalizing marijuana in Texas would benefit in many ways. One effect of legalizing marijuana in Texas would be the money it brings in. As of right now, Texas’ highest paying cash crop is cotton...

...Alternative Dispute Resolution Felicia Greene LAW/531 April 4, 2016 Carol Parker Alternative Dispute Resolution In this paper we are asked to review a state level business dispute taken from either our own experience, the text or from personal research. I have chosen to discuss a case that is discussed in our text, Business Law 16th edition. The Case I will be discussing will be Hagan v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co. This case is about two sisters, Linda Hagan and Barbara Parker, who drank from a bottle of Coke which they both agreed tasted flat. After observing the bottle in the light both women observed what appeared to them to be a used condom with a “oozy sticky stuff coming out of the top” (Mallor, Barnes, Bowers, Lanvardy, 2014). After being sent to Coca-Cola for testing it was determined that the object was mold and not a used condom. Before the findings the medical personnel at the Coca-Cola facility told the ladies they should be tested for HIV. Those tests came back negative for both of the women. Hagan and Parker brought a negligence action again Coca-Cola and at the conclusion of the trial were awarded $75,000 each by the jury. However, the trial court reduced the jury award to $25, 000 a decision that both sides appealed. The appellate court revers the jury award and concluded that under case law concerning the impact rule, neither of the plaintiffs had proven a claim because neither had suffered a physical injury.

...Topic: Democratic countries should have an obligation to accept refugees. Do you agree? In recent decades, many people have sought refugee status and this has caused a lot of discussion on the issue. Many argue that refugees should not be given priority in gaining entry to democratic countries, while others believe they should. The purpose of this essay is to point out that democratic countries should have an obligation to accept refugees. To support this position, the following areas will be examined: firstly, the reason why those countries are called democratic countries. Secondly, refugees are under the difficult situation. Thirdly, countries can take advantage of accepting refugees. A democratic country is defined as a form of government in which all the people have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. In order to deserve that, a country needs to fulfill some basic requirements. One of the most important is to guarantee the basic human rights, which is international norms that help to protect all people everywhere from severe political, legal, and social abuses. For example, Australia and Malaysia had a signature on a bilateral arrangement about transfer and resettlement through UNHCR. Thus, democratic countries have an obligation to accept refugees. A refugee is someone who has been forced from their home country by war, civil conflict, political strife or gross human rights abuses. Most of the time, refugees must flee their home and villages without...

...Employment Equity For the purposes of employment laws, businesses either fall under federal or provincial/territorial legislation, but not both. Federal employment equity legislation applies to, among others, employers with at least 100 or more employees and certain employers that bid on certain federal government goods or services contracts. If the employer has a payroll in Ontario of at least $2.5 million, and the employee has given at least five years of service, the employee is also entitled to statutory severance pay of one week per year to a maximum of 26 weeks. In addition to legislation, the common law (judge-made law) automatically incorporates into every employment relationship (written or not) the concept of “reasonable notice of termination.” human rights legislation aims to protect individuals from certain forms of discrimination. In Ontario the Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination in all aspects of employment, including recruitment and hiring. You as employer must ensure employees are not discriminated against because of their race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, record of offences, marital status, family status and handicap. The Human Rights Code also has specific harassment (including sexual harassment) provisions and recognizes damages for loss of dignity.

...Christianity and Law Leslie Chastain Lubbock Christian University April 16, 2013 BUA 4301 Business Law With millions of civil cases filed yearly involving everything from hot spilled coffee to arguments among neighbors, lawsuits have become a common occurrence in today's society. America has often been referred to as the “litigious society”—and rightly so. Our nation has placed an overwhelming amount of reliance on the litigation system to resolve any and all kinds of disputes. According to Michael Lewis in an article on Money Crashers online, “there is a new lawsuit filed every two seconds in America” (Lewis, 2008). At this rate, one has to question if the collateral transgressions supporting these lawsuits is something of material value or simply a hopeful shot in the dark. In a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, “most Americans surveyed (55 percent) strongly agreed (and another 32 percent somewhat agreed) that the justice system is used by many as a lottery, to start a lawsuit and see just how much benefits and compensation they can win” (www.SixWise.com, 2003). If one desires to gain worldly compensation at the personal expense of another, especially when the intent of the lawsuit is not material or substantial, one begins to wonder where the moral decency ended and the selfish ambitions began. According to an extensive survey directed by the Pew Forum, the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey finds that “78.4 percent of all American adults consider...

...that, to some extent, prohibition of illegal drug use has many associated benefits; considering the effects of some drugs on individuals. However, it is important to remember that, the use or selling of some illegal drugs for example, marijuana has many benefits than negative effects, a fact that makes it necessary for governments to legalize its use. Background information Marijuana is one of the mostly commonly used illegal drugs in the American continent. From statistics, more than sixty five million Americans at some point in their lives have used the drug, a factor many attribute to its mild effects on users. Although this is the case, the use of such a drug is a criminal offense, which is prosecutable in a court of law. It is necessary to note that, such prohibitions have not limited its wide use among the American citizenry, a fact that many associate with its medicinal importance. The war against Marijuana traces its origin from the Chinese empire, where inhabitants used it as a pain remedy. Because of the nature of movements during the colonial period, its use moved very fast to other corners of the world, where America is inclusive; as a result the establishment of the British colonies. In the early years of its use, majority of individuals; more so medical...
