The United States had done its best to avoid a war in Europe and entered late in the war. Indeed, even after the US entered the war it took over a year to get mobilized. However, the efforts of the United States did help win the war.
Why did it take so long for the United States to mobilize after war was declared?
Why was rationing so important to the war effort?
How did propaganda keep people back home behind the war effort?
Trench warfare was pretty new to the world and it had never been done on such a huge scale before. Many would argue that life in the trenches was just as dangerous as the war itself.
- Describe life in the trenches. What were some of the more serious hazards?
- How would soldiers pass the time between scrimmages?
- Was life in the trenches just as dangerous as the war itself?

BUS 307 Case Study 1 Guidelines and Rubric
For this case study, craft a professional email, appropriate in format, tone, and content, to send to your clients Fred and Sally, with your preliminary thoughts on the issues within. Your email should illustrate the issues and relevant law, apply the facts, and support your conclusions with regard to each issue. Always remember to be clear, kind, and professional in your communications. Case Study 1 Fred is well known in his town for his homeopathic cough syrup. After years of encouragement, he has decided to take his miracle cough remedy to market as “Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup.” While his cough syrup is homeopathic, one of the key ingredients causes a severe reaction when taken in conjunction with aspirin. Fred plans to make and bottle his cough syrup in an outbuilding on the family farm. His son, Sam, has been raving to the locals about his father’s cough syrup for years, and the local drug store and grocer have contacted Fred to place orders as a result. Sam also intends to approach several national chains in an effort to secure supply contracts for Fred’s cough syrup. Fred has asked Sam to assist him with deliveries, as Sam has a van. Fred would like Sam to be involved with the business as an employee initially, with the option of making him a partial owner at a later time. Fred and his wife Sally have two children, Sam and Lilly. Both live in cabins on the family farm with their spouses and children. Fred and Sally engage you as their attorney to assist with the formation of the new business, including determining the appropriate business entity type, management issues, product liability issues, and estate planning for both the business and family property. After your initial meeting, you identify and research the following issues. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Describe the main types of business entities and their defining characteristics. II. Apply product liability law and determine what issues are present. How would you advise your client to mitigate those issues?
III. Apply the elements and characteristics of an agency relationship to Sam’s actions. Does Sam’s involvement prior to the business formation, as well as his anticipated role once the business is formed, create an agency relationship? Why or why not?
IV. Identify potential real property issues based on the location of the business on the family farm. Justify each potential issue. V. Does the manufacture of Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup on the family farm necessitate a formal transfer of ownership or possessory rights? Defend your
response. VI. Identify potential personal property issues based on the use of Sam’s personal vehicle to deliver the product. Justify each potential issue.
VII. Does the use of Sam’s personal vehicle in the course of business expose Sam or the business to any liability issues? Defend your response. VIII. Identify potential estate planning issues with regard to the business and the family farm. Justify each potential issue.
IX. What estate planning vehicles are available to Fred and Sally should they desire to transfer ownership in the business and family farm, respectively, to Sam and Lilly equally? What are the advantages and disadvantages to each?
X. Applying your analysis of the issues above, which type of business entity do you recommend for Fred’s Miracle Cough Syrup and why?

Socialization
Socialization
For the Module 2 SLP, you are requested to do the following:
Step One
Mass media has a great effect on society, especially on teens and young adults. How has the use of mass media played a significant role in shaping our thoughts in the social problem you chose in Module 1? Be sure to focus on the same issue for this module. You can use the same reference article you chose in module 1.
Step Two
Our lives are shaped by several social factors, such as:
•The time period in which we live
•Our social location and neighborhood
•Our social class, gender, and race
Your second task is to list the demographics discussed in the article. Are specific nationalities targeted? What is the average age of those affected? What is that significance of these elements?
Step Three
Your third task is to relay the regions of the world this issue is taking place. Where, geographically, does the article suggest this issue is sooner taking place? If the article discusses the United States and the problem exists everywhere in the US, is there a kind of geographical location associated with the discussion, specifically, sections of a given state, neighborhoods, etc.
Submit the 3- to 4-page
SLP Assignment Expectations
Cite at least three sources inside your work and in a reference section.
You are expected to use SLP-related readings and background material to show how people are socialized into your organization.
In preparing your Module 2 SLP, you need to demonstrate your learning of the concepts outlined in the modular learning outcomes.
Use section headings for each of the topics you address in your paper followed by a discussion of that topic.
Muckraking And Its Effects On Government Oversight
Directions: Consider the efforts journalists and activists used to force the state and federal governments to step in on matters they would otherwise ignore. Thanks to the efforts of Upton Sinclair, Jacob Riis, and Jane Addams, men and women living in urban settings began to use the media of the time to put a spotlight on what life really was like for many of the poor and working classes. In your paper, please answer the following questions:
- Why was it so easy to overlook the poor and working classes?
- Why was big business so against regulations on child labor?
- Would it be fair to say that government oversight was necessary? Why or why not?
Your paper needs to answer all of these questions. Lines should be double spaced, with proper grammar and formatting. The paper needs to be at least 2 pages long (not including title page and reference page).

CLIMATE CHANGEON THE INTERNET: FACT OR OPINION
CLIMATE CHANGEON THE INTERNET: FACT OR OPINION
Geography 2133B Climate Change Assignment #1
Due Date: Feb. 1, 2018 in class; worth 10% of final mark.
Purpose
• To access, critically read and evaluate climate change information on the internet. You have
chosen to take part in a class that provides you with the opportunity to gain an understanding of
climate change from a scientific perspective. Such an awareness is critical as we move to the
future and face the challenges that global warming will present us. There is a plethora of
information about climate change on the internet of varying scientific quality, and the goal of
this assignment is to get you to critically evaluate the scientific merit and communication of
some of that information. Healthy skepticism is an important part of scientific evaluation, and
should be a part of a critical evaluation of climate change information on the internet.
• To improve writing skills. This assignment will provide you with two opportunities to improve
your writing skills. First you will evaluate how well the science of climate change is
communicated. Evaluating other’s communications is a great way to improve your own
communication skills. Secondly you will report your findings in a short report. Report writing is a
great transferable skill to continue to develop. It is important to be able to synthesize and write
effectively for a variety of audiences, and the types of writing that are valued are ever-changing
and varied.
Your task
Your task is to look on the internet to find a site that contains interesting information about climate
change. The site should be about the science of climate change, not the politics or policy. You will
provide a critique of the site itself (how well information is communicated, the visual appeal), and also
the science behind the site. You will be asked to consider several factors in your evaluation of the web
site you select and write a brief 1-2 page report that summarizes your evaluation of the communication
and science of the web site.
Choose a site and be prepared to discuss the site in groups during class on Jan 23 as a prelude to
completing the assignment. This should allow you to get some peer feedback on your choice and
rationale.
Things to consider when you evaluate your selection and write your report. Pay
special attention to points marked in bold as they correspond with the rubric.
Site
• Provide the web address for your web site – make sure it works!
Summary Statement
• How do you know that this website is science-based?
Selection
• Who do you think this site is intended for? A general audience? A specific audience?
• Why did you pick this site?
• Why is it of interest? Convince me that I should take a look at this site.
Communication
• Does the web site use simple terms and words – does it avoid jargon (field specific language)
where possible. If you think jargon is unavoidable have the authors provided a definition or
explanation of more difficult terms? Definitions should be simple!
• Does the site use short forms/ acronyms that are difficult to follow?
• Does the site use slang?
• Is the web site clear and concise (avoid run on sentences, sentences have a purpose)?
• Is there a captivating title?
• Is there an attention grabbing component. Why should someone read the web site? What is the
“hook”? It could be an opening phrase or paragraph, an analogy or metaphor, an
encouragement to reflect on something, a cool fact, a cartoon, humour, etc.
• Does the site use simple, related pictures/ videos/ charts/ diagrams/ graphs that capture
attention and are illustrative?
• Is the site visually appealing?
• How could the authors of this website communicate their message more effectively?
Scientific Content
• Are sources credited?
• What are the sources for information provided? Are they credible? How do you know? You may
have to do some detective work to determine this.
• Is there any evidence of a conflict of interest?
• When was the site posted? How old are the scientific findings? Is the site still relevant?
• Has any important information been omitted from the site? Would that information significantly
change the findings?
• Do the authors make logical conclusions based on the data they provide? Think carefully about
this and be critical.
