Essay topics

1. What were the major achievements of the Egyptians? How did they influence later societies?

2. Discuss the nature of Harappan society. What makes this society so unique? Compare it to other contemporary ancient societies.

Each student is to produce a 4 paragraph paper analyzing a contract. A four

paragraph typed analysis of the contract must be submitted which discusses any

three legal concepts in the contract that were covered in the text. The student is to

submit an analysis of legal concepts and not a filled-in contract.

The first paragraph is to be a summary of the entire contract. Please note that I said a

summary– which means an overview of the contract and not a detailed

description. Your summary paragraph should not be much longer than each of the

3 other paragraphs. I’m looking for an overview of the contract and not what each

section is about. The other three paragraphs are to be used to discuss and analyze

three different clauses in the contract (one per paragraph) and how they relate to the textbook and

other course material. Be sure and indicate which paragraph in the contract you

are discussing, e.g., #1 of the contract talks about x, y, and z.

I am looking for an analysis of how each clause relates to the class material. Little

or no analysis will result in point deductions. Summarizing the clause is not an

analysis. Show me that you understand how this clause functions in the “real

world”. I want to see that you understand the legal consequences of each clause

you are discussing and not just paraphrasing the contract wording. Hypothetical

examples are an easy way of showing this.

You must also refer by page or chapter to the part(s) of the text you are using. It is

not sufficient to say “according to the text” or something similar. Additionally, do

not reference other textbooks. I don’t have access to them so I can’t verify the

reference. If you don’t have a text, there is one on reserve in the library. I don’t

mind if you use the 7th edition but say so as I waste time looking through all

texts to see which one a student used. That will bring about a point(s) deduction.

There is an example of an analysis clause written by a student in the Contracts Module.

What Not To Put in Your Contract Report

Discussing the formation of a contract is not acceptable. In other words,

Express/Implied Contracts, Offer; Acceptance; Consideration; Bilateral; etc., are

not clauses in most contracts.

Do Not Talk About Offer, Acceptance and Consideration.

Don’t talk about an express contract. If you are unsure, then ask me via email.

Most contracts don’t say, “This is an express contract”. If your contract is in

writing

IT’S AN EXPRESS CONTRACT! It is probably a bilateral contract as

well. You will receive no extra points if you state this. If you use any of these

concepts as the legal concept in your analysis and, the legal concept isn’t the

subject of that clause, you will receive no points for that clause. Each clause is

worth 12 points so that’s a huge loss of points.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. DO NOT TALK ABOUT

CONTRACT FORMATION OR THE TYPE OF CONTRACT. IF YOU ARE WRONG, THERE WILL BE A POINT DEDUCTION AND THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY INCLUDING IT.

If you are using a rental or lease agreement for real property, at least one clause

must be from outside of the chapter titled “Landlord and Tenant. If all three of

your clauses rely on that chapter, there will be an automatic 11 point deduction.

Please email me if you are unsure of your clauses. Many students using rental

agreements use the “Rent” and “Term of the Lease” clauses for their analysis.

These are fine but generally there isn’t much to analyze so the result is a shallow

analysis and minimal points.

Please remember, agreements for real property or services do not follow the UCC.

So, if using an agreement for real property or services, do not discuss any of those

UCC chapters .

USE ONE OF THE CONTRACTS ATTACHED!!

Security Report:

The weekly assignment for the course is a comprehensive assignment. You should begin by reviewing the scenario document. Each week, you will complete part of this assignment based on the content covered in the week. You will add new content to the report each week to build a comprehensive security solution for an organization.

You have been hired by this company to suggest ways of securing its technology assets. ABC, Inc. requires you to complete the project and provide detailed recommendations for improving their security in the next five weeks. You will be assigned specific tasks in each of the weeks of this course based on the content covered in the week.

As you complete this assignment, you must also realize the importance of describing the implementation of the solution that you propose and explaining how to verify the solution by providing activities to test the security (such as intentionally using an incorrect password to make sure the system rejects the login attempt).

In this week, review the scenario and analyze the security requirements of the organization. On the basis of your understanding, create a 3- to 4-page report in a Microsoft Word document that includes the following:

• A paragraph summarizing the problems faced by the organization.
• A list of top five recommendations for implementing better security in the organization and an explanation of how each of these will benefit the organization. Justify the importance in your ranking.
• Outcomes for your report, such as what implementing your solution will do for the organization; this should be a preliminary report that will evolve as the weeks progress.

In addition, respond to the following questions in your report:

• How does an attack like the one suffered by ABC, Inc. impact consumer confidence in its product? Why would the company wish to remain anonymous during this process?
• Which basic user policies would you put in place to make sure employees cannot access each other’s information?

I have also attached the scenario document

Please review the attachment with Assignment 2 so that you can review the business that I chose to write about.

Assignment 3: Promotion and Pricing Strategies

“Entrepreneurs must determine what to sell, to whom and how often, on what terms and at what price, and how to get the product or service to the customer.
