Week 1:
Assignment
In each
week the learning assignment is designed to demonstrate your competence with
the Terminal Course Objectives of the course. Prior to working on the assignment,
you should read through the week’s chapters and lecture.
Clearly
identify your work with your name, the date, the week number and the assignmentname,
and upload work to the Dropbox.
The questions are designed to probe the higher
levels of thinking and learning such as analyzing, evaluating and creating, and
so there often are no correct answers. Instead of focusing and who wins or
loses the case, you should analyze, evaluate, and create alternative solutions
to the various issues presented while arguingand debating the connections
between business, law, politics, and ethics.
