...Humphries. Kris Humphries demanded access to view emails Kim Kardashian had in a closed e-mail account. These e-mails were personal private property of Kim Kardashian’s and not a marital asset or a real asset. Because this was not a business situation, Kris Humphries could not claim he had rights to Kim’s personal e-mails. Cheeseman (2013) states, real property is immovable or attached to immovable land or buildings, whereas personal property is movable. In this situation, the e-mail account in question is personal property. According to FindLaw (2013), E-mail privacy is derived from the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and is governed by the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard. Rule Cheeseman (2013) states, "The law protects the rights of owners of personal property to use, sell, dispose of, control, and prevent others from trespassing on their rights." In the divorce case of Kardashian vs. Humphries the personal property belonged to one party of a divorce and does not belong to the other party. It is lawful for the owner of the personal party to prevent the other party from trespassing on their rights. In the case of divorce a party who wants access to the other party's personal property does not have a legal right to it. If this was a business managerial setting the electronic communication would be consider the company's property because the communication was created and stored using the company's network and computer equipment. This gives the...

...store, gas station, and local convenience store, the National Enquirer has been around since the 1920s based in Florida. In the earlier days, the National Enquirer was famous for fabricating weird and unbelievable stories to gain sales. Such stories may have included 'My Baby has Three Eyes' or 'I had King Kong's Baby.' Today, the National Enquirer mostly reports on the latest celebrity gossip. Recently, the National Enquirer received bad publicity because of the picture of deceased singer Whitney Houston posted on the front page in her casket. According to the case Calder vs. Jones, the National Enquirer published a story about Shirley Jones that had a devastating impact on her life in California. Due to most of the National Enquirer's circulation existing in California, it was unethical for the National Enquirer to avoid suit in California. Just because the reporter and the editor who wrote and edited the story reside in Florida, the emotional damages were done to her in California. The defamation and invasion of her privacy were both unethical business moves created by the story that was written about Shirley Jones, so the ethical thing to do would be to have the suit in the state that the damages were made in. However, if looking at it from the company's standpoint, the state of Florida may have different laws that are not as harsh as those in California. This could be the reason why they may have seen it...

...roles in the workplace. Over the course of time, people have looked into an in depth analysis of management to come up with a number of theories and approaches to better understand it, so as to enable them to use it effectively in running their organisations. This essay will firstly explain in relation to CEO Sue Morphet the three specific categorization schemes that have been developed through time that describe what managers do. (Robbins, Bergman, Stagg and Coulter 2012, p.13). These specific categories are the functions, roles and skills of managers. It will then go on to discuss what managerial functions, roles, and skills CEO Sue Morphet would have to undertake in order to overcome to overcome the challenges posed by the negative publicity surrounding her organisation’s decision to move jobs overseas. This will be followed by how these approaches may be used effectively by managers to achieve desired outcomes for organizations. The essay will then be ended off with a conclusion. Management is seen as a process, “Planning, organising, leading and controlling of human and other resources to achieve organizational goals effectively and efficiently” (Waddell, Jones and George 2011, p.5). In other words management is getting a group of people together and organising them in a way to maintain the targeted set of goals by having low resources wastage and high goal attainment. Robbins et al., (2012) states that in order for organisations to become successful, they require their...

...The stories have to be somewhat true so the journalist will print just enough truth to make the story believable. However, after many lawsuits and out of court settlements the magazine has tried to improve its public image. “The National Enquirer’s reputation is still poor, even with the improvements over the past years, according to the Pew Research Center’s latest survey” (Hannah, 2004 p.1). Jones versus National Enquirer Case study: “The National Enquirer published an article about Shirley Jones, an entertainer. Jones, a California resident, filed a lawsuit in California state court against the National Enquirer and its president, who was a resident of Florida. The California lawsuit sought damages for alleged defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Calder v.

...Seneca College UBER Team Short Paper #1 History Founded in 2009 the company was launched in San Francisco, providing cars for hire. Initially, they had marketed themselves as a ride sharing company to make travelling around San Francisco streets easier. It was created by entrepreneurs Travis Kalanick and Garett Camp. In a span of a few years, their Uber smartphone application revolutionized travelling around cities for millions of people around the world (Telegraph). The idea came to light when Kalanick and Camp could not hail a cab on a snowy night in Paris in 2008. They decided to solve the problem by creating an application that would be as simple as pushing a button and getting a car (Vanity Fair). Service The mobile application which is compatible on Android, iOS and Windows Phone enables riders to connect with drivers using their phones GPS capabilities. Thus, allowing both parties to know their locations and eliminating the question of when the ride will actually arrive. Payments are made through the mobile application via credit card – all in the background and completely cashless. Uber operates in 45 countries and cities from Abu Dhabi to Zurich. Furthermore, Uber offers this particular service at different levels:- UberX - which runs daily with economical cars that can seat up to four passengers and costs relatively lower than a taxi UberXL - which runs daily as well with economical cars however, it can seat up to 7 passengers. Thus, resulting in a...

...Alex Martino LEGL 616.12 4/11/2012 Privacy with Regards to Electronic Communication in the Workplace Background Given the rise of electronic communication, it is not surprising that privacy with regards to communication such as emailing, texting, or social networking, has become a very big issue. Probably the most prominent area relating to electronic privacy is consumer privacy. Stories about Google or Facebook’s privacy policies are front-page news. However, although it perhaps receives less attention, electronic workplace privacy is just as big an issue. Workers communicate at work using various devices. Some workers rely on a computer to send emails. Other workers may favor using a land phone or a cell phone for communication with important clients. In some cases, workers use texting on cell phones to communicate with fellow employees. The one similarity between all these workers is that they are all probably communicating on a device or on a network that belongs to the company that they work for. Workers are also likely to use work equipment, a computer or a company cell phone, to make personal calls. This makes sense, given the long hours that people often spend at work and the ease of using work machines to communicate. A recent article in The Economist, “Slaves to the Smartphone”, states “Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between ‘on-time’ and ‘off-time’—and indeed between real work and make-work.” Most electronic communication at work (whether...

...India where media showed its importance by continuously highlighting it, such as Priyadarshnimatto case, Nitishkatra murder case, Bijaljoshi rape case, Aarushitalwar case, Jessica case etc. Media has now reincarnated itself into a “public court” (jantaadalat). It use to watch out injustice, which has conducted the trial of an accused and passed the own verdict even before the pronouncement of judgment by the court. By this way, it prejudice the public and sometime even judges and as a result it violates the basic principle of criminal jurisprudence i.e.; ‘’presumption of innocence until proven guilty and guilty beyond reasonable doubt’’. This paper focuses on the rights of accused such as his right to fair trial, right to privacy and right to dignity, which are a violation of basic human rights guaranteed not only under Indian constitution, but also by many international organizations. Media trial along with revolutionary sting operations is an appreciable effort which helps government more accountable. But it must be done without violating basic...

...Joel Barker's pithy saying, "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world!" distinguishes an entrepreneur from others. An entrepreneur acts to bring visions to reality. I have longed to be one and have learnt from my reading that modern entrepreneurs have all worked to use technology for the betterment of our lives. Therefore, I decided long ago to study engineering and did not miss any opportunities to learn how the machines in our everyday life worked. In my school days, I used to listen to audio cassettes on a tape recorder. When I learnt the difference between mono and stereo recording, I thought of converting two mono recorded audio cassettes into a single stereo cassette, recorded in mono mode using the cassette's LEFT and RIGHT channels as a separate channels, to be heard in sequence, not together. To my delight, the idea worked and resulted in compacting two cassettes into a single mono cassette. With good scores in the science subjects, I could choose the engineering stream to take up for Bachelors. I chose Electronics & Telecommunication, because of its wide, interdisciplinary span and the ever increasing use of electronics in every branch of modern science, from Astrophysics to Medicine. It is a field rich with opportunities for an entrepreneur. The curriculum of University of Pune introduced me to the basics of several subjects, such as Digital Signal Processing, Integrated Circuit...

Abstract: “Fair is foul and foul is fair” recollecting the lines enshrined in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, one could indisputably perceive what is contemplated acceptable today may conceivably be malevolent and vice versa perchance deplorable now and adequate in future. To understand the antagonism of free trial and free media one has to reflect on the evolutions of court and media and its present scenario. The judiciary and the media share a common bond and play a complimentary role to each other: man is the centre of their universe. Both the judiciary and the media are engaged in the same task: to discover the truth...

... Social Privacy in Networked Publics: Teens’ Attitudes, Practices, and Strategies danah boyd and Alice Marwick Microsoft Research dmb@microsoft.com and amarwick@microsoft.com Waffles, 17, NC1: Every teenager wants privacy. Every single last one of them, whether they tell you or not, wants privacy. Just because an adult thinks they know the person doesn’t mean they know the person. And just because teenagers use internet sites to connect to other people doesn’t mean they don’t care about their privacy. We don’t tell everybody every single thing about our lives. We tell them general information - names, places, what we like to do - but that’s general knowledge. That’s not something you like to keep private-- “Oh, I play games. I better not tell anybody about that.” I mean-- that’s not something that we do. So to go ahead and say that teenagers don’t like privacy is pretty...
