...International Business Law Final Assignment – ISEG Group 1A Alfred Boudet 26th of November 2012 The Case Of Plant Relocation In this case I am working in Electrocorp, as the Chief Executive of the company. Electrocorp is an electronics company manufacturing onboard computer components for automobile. The company is facing an important choice to do. It can make more money for shareholders in relocating plants to a country with lower labor costs, less strict environmental regulations. Until now, all our plants are implanted in United States and until recently the company was in good economical health. But we face both ethical and economical problems. First of all, the production costs increased during the few last years further to the action of unions representing employees in the company waged successful strikes in order to increase salary and benefits. Today the salary and benefits package are about $15 per hour, which is very high in our industry, but it is the labor cost in United States. Secondly, some dangerous products are used in the company such the using of complex hydrocarbon solvents to clean the chips and some of these solvents are carcinogens and have to be handled with a high prudency. To avoid major problems there is some strict safety regulations inside the plants, which cost time and money. These safety regulations increase the cost of production...

...depression. Another issue to understand is that Jerry does not have any authority to provide medical prescriptions. According to medical law and ethics, the doctors or other authorizing people such as PA or LNP must approve all medication refills. What Jerry could do is to call Dr. Williams and inform him on what his client wants because doctors carry their cell phones because they are aware they might be needed in the office at any time. In case, Jerry will get approval from Dr. Williams, then he will go ahead and issue this refill order. In case, he will issue without consultation of Dr. Williams, then he will be in big trouble because it is against medical laws. Does Jerry’s medical training qualify him to issue this refill order? Why or why not? Actually, Jerry’s medical training does not qualify him to issue this refill order because he is not qualified to issue out the valium prescription. Being both assistant medical and LNP, means that he is not qualified to issue refill order. This is because it is not his work but the work of medical doctors who qualify to issue this refill. Even though Jerry may call Dr. Williams, it may be hard to be given prescription because there is what we call informed consent in medical ethics (Hall and Bobinski, 2003) This idea requires that an individual must be fully informed and understand the benefits and dangers of making treatment choice. A patient may make his own decision on certain treatment but medical laws authorize different...

...The Education sector has apparently been facing a lot of rampant issues. Henceforth, an education administrator has to face a variety of Legal Issues in Education. In this essay, we shall define the key terms and later explain the ways in which an understanding of Legal issues in education can create a basis for Order, Discipline and Fairness in Educational Management. To begin with, Legal Issues are important issues, topics or situations that people talk about and are authorized by the law. Peters (2013) also says Legal Issues can be “a framework and legislative support put in place to ensure access to and equal participation in Inclusive Education programs.” It also goes on to state that Legal Issues are related with the disabled and the disabilities rights. According to UNESCO, Education is defined as an organized and sustained communication process that brings about learning.(Kelly,1999) The Longman’s Oxford dictionary (2010:1035) defines the concept order as the state that exists when people obey laws, rules and authority. According to the Progressive English dictionary (1967:288), Order is a command which is given by authority. Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules and orders and punishing them if they do not apply them (Longman’s Oxford dictionary, 2010). Mwanakatwe (2013) also defines Discipline as “a code of conduct or rules of behaviour involving the relationship between the individual and the community in which he lives, works and requiring...

...Channey (2013), and Robertson (2013), suggest the basic thoughts about police brutality, along with information regarding the lawsuits, and community complaint boards in order to discuss this matter. The other references help define police brutality, whereas, they discuss past court cases, types of brutality, and other necessary related information. This paper examines Baracks (2007, Channeys (2013), and Robertsons (2013) research in relation to three other articles in order to suggest that police brutality should be a serious matter and studied further in order to understand the issues, as well, how it effects our communities nationwide and how to evade it. Keywords: police brutality, lawsuits, community complaint boards Analyzing Police Brutality in the United States Topic Chosen: Police Brutality There seems to be many controversies and issues revolving the idea of police brutality in today’s societies and cities, whereas, as a nationwide issues, it’s linked as police brutality to the base roots of the regular routine police and law enforcement practices and ethics (Barack, 2007). It’s been determined that police brutality has deterred into quite the epidemic toward police departments, as well, there’re particularly inadequate amounts of procedures in place in order to revise and look over the complete issue at hand (Barack, 2007). Many human rights corporations have attempted to...

...After watching the movie I, Robot, I find that many ethical issues come about from the technology shown in the movie. The movie takes place in 2035 and is about robots that are programmed with Three Laws: First Law-A robot must never harm a human being or, through inaction, allow any harm to come to a human; Second Law-A robot must obey the orders given to them by human beings, except where such orders violate the First Law; Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second Laws. Humans use these robots to do common tasks for them. Some of the ethical questions arisen from this movie include do robots have the ability to make emotional or ethical decision, are they entitled to the same rights as humans and should we use robots for wars. In the movie I, Robot, a detective name Del Spooner, played by Will Smith is saved by a robot when he and a little girl where trapped and drowning in a car that had fallen in to the river. We find out the reason the robot chose to save the detective, is because his calculations showed that the detective had a better chance to survive than the little girl. Because of this Del Spooner will not trust and dislikes robots throughout the movie. This action in the movie makes the audience think about the ability of robots to make decisions. The robot chose to save Del Spooner based on his calculations that Del had a better chance of surviving. A question one must ask is what would a human done in this same...

...important to see its role in the society. While understanding thematic approach to international law, one should not completely link such a discipline using a commercial approach. This commercial approach is used in contemporary international law. While understanding international law, there is a need to understand the term “world order”. According to Richard Falk, “world order is a system that consists of a behavior for security and changes identified by states, the structure of authority, conflicts, violence and international mediation” This current order is based on the behavior of states and its people. Since behavior is concerned here, there is also what kind of life and styles are followed by the people resulting in a global evolution....

...‘The conventional division of private and public law is to some extent a false dichotomy’. Discuss. The aim of this essay is to discuss the conventional division of private and public law is to some extent a false dichotomy.

...World order is a term used to describe the balance of power among the nations of the world. It is linked with the political, economic and social framework in the world at a particular time and the effect that this situation has on the relationship between countries. There is an increasing need for world order in the global community due to growing conflict both within and between nations and regions. The increased trade between countries has stimulated the growth of many world order issues such as the access to resources, the inequality in a nation’s distribution of income, crimes against humanity and the growing awareness of human rights globally have also led to an increased need for world order. The importance of world order in promoting peace and harmony can be seen in the dramatic growth and development of international law over the past 60 years. The international responses currently in place include are mainly enforced by the United Nations (UN) and are aimed at the maintenance of world order in the international community. There is an increasing need for World Order in contemporary society than ever before as a high level of interdependence between countries has resulted from the push for globalisation and free trade. This interaction between countries has instigated greater conflict in the world in the form of terrorism, civil unrest and conflict for access to the world’s shrinking resources. Access to resources has been a major source of conflict due...

...Mombasa, Inc Memo To: CEO From: Tex Matters CC: Board of directors Date: 4/23/2012 Re: our ethical dilemma Thank you for allowing the opportunity to work on this important issue. It is not only important for us to do business, but it is important for us to do it the right way. We have an obligation not only to ourselves, but to our shareholders, customers, family and most importantly our country. We represent our country wherever our business takes us. As requested, we have studied the strength and weakness of every decision we can make with regards to this very important issue. Our analysis studied every important element. We gathered all important information. We asked all important questions. Based on our intensive study we have come up with the following possible alternatives: 1. We should hold our order and remanufacture it, then send it. 2. We should send the order as is to prevent loss to our bottom line. 3. We should inform our client of the issue, and offer to send the order at a discounted price. All the alternatives we concluded were legitimate in their own right. Any decision we make will have a justification. The most important element in our decision making process will be to evaluate whether or not each decision falls within our values. Our values are our rocks. We cling onto them in hard times. They always lead us. When we step out of our comfort zone, it affects our decision making. We impair our ability to make the right decision and do...

...must it provide in order to secure freedom for its citizens? This has been the central question of political philosophy from the very beginning. As much freedom as possible and as much unity as necessary leads to a society which serves the human good.” Stephan Eisel, the fellow worker of Konrad Adenauer Foundation The relationship between individual and society directly influences the relationship between individual freedom and society order. Upon the problems of individual versus community and personal freedom versus social order, the pioneer philosophers mainly think and answer it in tow basic ways. One part of philosophers and thinkers emphasize wholeness, inevitability and divinity and advocate that the whole is more important than the part; the society is more important than the individual. Another part of philosophers view the issue at opposite angle. Why do individual and society, individual freedom and social order stay in opposition to each other? On the one hand, the reason is that any person has irrational component inside him; the rational component registers as being controlled and is inclined to be in order; the irrational component registers as being impulsive and is inclined to the diversity. One the other, the individual freedom requires the equality, but the maintenance of the social order would sacrifice some individuals’ freedom without a doubt. It seems to me that the equality among the persons refers to being equally protected by law; it is the equality...

...In today’s health care, there are laws set in place to protect the well-being and best interest of the patient. These laws range from tort laws, criminal laws, and contract laws. Although each of these laws are set in place to protect the patient to a certain degree of wrongdoing on the physicians and medical facilities part, they can be distinguished by which one affects health care professionals directly compared to indirectly. In this paper, I will discuss the Tort Law, the law that most directly influences Health Care Professionals. Tort Law Defined Tort Law can be defined as the civil wrongdoing against a person. Tort warrants claimants to seek restitution for their alleged disservice for bodily harm, effects, or character. In order to file a tort claim, the claim has to be factual or true by the party that suffered the disservice. Medical personnel and facilities can receive jail time and/or malpractice claims if found guilty of such negligence as described in the tort claim. According the Congressional Budget Office (2006), “The system has twin objectives: deterring negligent behavior on the part of providers and compensating claimants for losses (including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering) they incur as the result of an injury that occurs because of negligence” (http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/71xx/doc7174/04-28-MedicalMalpractice.pdf ). Torts can be divided into categories, such as negligence and intentional torts. Negligence is the most common tort...

Judicial: The Supreme Court; they’re power is to provide supreme judicial review for the nation and provides checks and balances for the other branches. A main priority for the Court is determining if something violates the Constitution. 2. Each of these branches is independent of the others (separation of powers) and are part of a system of checks and balances. Briefly explain what this means. a. Each branch of government has their own roles and functions, however in order to make sure that the American people are represented fairly and the best decisions for the country are made, each branch of government has a way to counteract another branch’s decision in order to check what they are doing and potentially counteract it and act as a balance 3. By what authority does a president issue an executive order? a. Executive orders do not require Congress’ consent in order to take effect. 4. The other two branches of government, legislative and judicial, have recourse against an executive order. Generally, explain what that recourse is for each branch. a. Legislative: majority 2/3 vote b. Judicial: can be challenged in court on the grounds of deviating from congressional intent or exceeds the President’s constitutional power. 5. What are executive orders generally used for? a. They are...
