1) Chapter 18, question 5: Upon graduation from college, Edison was hired by a major chemical company. During the time when he was employed by the company, Edison discovered a synthetic oil that could be manufactured at a very low cost. What rights, if any, does Edison's employer have to the discovery? Why?2)Chapter 19, question 1 Parke-Bernet Galleries, acting as agent for an undisclosed principal, sold a painting to Weisz. Weisz later discovered that the painting was a forgery and sued Parke-Bernet for breach of contract. In defense, Parke-Bernet argued that as a general rule, agents are not liable on contracts made for principals. Is this a good defense? Explain.3)Chapter 19, question 5 A professional basketball player punched an opposing player in the face during the course of a game. The opponent, who was seriously injured, sued the owner of the team for damages. A jury awarded the player $222,000 [about $800,000 in 2010 dollars] for medical expenses, $200,000 [$700,000] for physical pain, $275,000 [$963,000] for mental anguish, $1,000,000 [$3.5 million] for lost earnings, and $1,500,000 [$5.2 million] in punitive damages (which was $500,000 more than requested by the player). The jury also awarded $50,000 [$150,000] to the player's wife for loss of companionship. If we assume that the player who threw the punch acted out of personal anger and had no intention to further the business, how could the damage award against his principal be legally justified?4).Rainbow Airlines, a new air carrier headquartered in Chicago with routes from Rome to Canberra, extensively studied the psychology of passengers and determined that more than 93 percent of its passengers felt most comfortable with female flight attendants between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-four. To increase its profitability, the company issued a policy of hiring only such people for jobs in the air but opened all ground jobs to anyone who could otherwise qualify. The policy made no racial distinction, and, in fact, nearly 30 percent of the flight attendants hired were black. What violations of federal law has Rainbow committed, if any?5).Tex Olafson worked for five years as a messenger for Pressure Sell Advertising Agency, a company without a unionized workforce. On his fifth anniversary with the company, Tex was called in to the president's office, was given a 10 percent raise, and was complimented on his diligence. The following week, a new head of the messenger department was hired. He wanted to appoint his nephew to a messenger job but discovered that a company-wide hiring freeze prevented him from adding another employee to the messenger ranks. So he fired Tex and hired his nephew. What remedy, if any, does Tex have? What additional facts might change the result?6).Ernest lost both his legs in combat in Vietnam. He has applied for a job with Excelsior Products in the company's quality control lab. The job requires inspectors to randomly check products coming off the assembly line for defects. Historically, all inspectors have stood two-hour shifts. Ernest proposes to sit in his wheelchair. The company refuses to hire him because it says he will be less efficient. Ernest's previous employment record shows him to be a diligent, serious worker. Does Ernest have a legal right to be hired? What additional facts might you want to know in deciding?7).After years of working without a union, employees of Argenta Associates began organizing for a representation election. Management did not try to prevent the employees from passing out leaflets or making speeches on company property, but the company president did send out a notice to all employees stating that in his opinion, they would be better off without a union. A week before the election, he sent another notice, stating that effective immediately, each employee would be entitled to a twenty-five-cents-an-hour raise. The employees voted the union down. The following day, several employees began agitating for another election. This time management threatened to fire anyone who continued talking about an election on the ground that the union had lost and the employees would have to wait a year. The employees' organizing committee filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the NLRB. What was the result?8).Palooka Industries sat down with Local 308, which represented its telephone operators, to discuss renewal of the collective bargaining agreement. Palooka pressed its case for a no-strike clause in the next contract, but Local 308 refused to discuss it at all. Exasperated, Palooka finally filed an unfair labor practice claim with the NLRB. What was the result?

This homework assignment is designed to apply the knowledge and skills you have learned so far about 1). navigating the GSS database, 2). operationalizing concepts using quantitative measures from secondary survey sources, 3). selecting appropriate independent and dependent variables, 4). creating and analyzing crosstabs, and 5). testing hypotheses and reporting statistical findings.Homework Prompt:For this assignment, you will be using survey data from the GSS database to analyze a social issue or phenomenon that you are interested in. Selecting variables from the GSS, you will formulate and test a hypothesis that examines the relationship between two variables, an independent and dependent variable. You will also conduct a bivariate statistical analysis of your variables to test your hypothesis.Picking a topic:The GSS captures a wide range of societal attitudes, behaviors, and attributes around topics including race relations, sexual behavior, confidence in institutions, climate change, participation in religion, support for immigration, perceptions of police violence, rights to abortion, marijuana use, etc. You should spend some time exploring the different variables within the database to familiarize yourself with the various topics, issues, and questions you could explore.Picking variables:You will need to pick at least ONE dependent variable and ONE independent variable. Think carefully about how you conceptualize your topic using the dependent variable. What does your dependent variable “represent”? How can your dependent variable be an indicator to measure the dimension of your topic?For example, if you are interested in studying racism, one of your indicators of racist or prejudicial beliefs could be measured using the variable RACMAR: “Do you think there should be laws against marriages between Negros/blacks/African-Americans and whites?” If respondents answer “yes” to this statement, this would be an indicator of racial prejudice.If you were studying gender equality, you would need to find a variable to conceptualize and measure equality. You could use the variable FEHELP: “Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree that it is more important for a wife to help her husband’s career than to have on herself?” If respondents strongly agree or agree with this statement, this would be a measure of gender inequality.Your independent variable can be a demographic or background variable (i.e. race, class, gender, marital status, political affiliation, etc.) or an attitudinal or behavior variable that you think is related to the dependent variable you selected.Remember, the GSS does not always ask the same questions each year. Be mindful that both your dependent and independent variables have been asked during the same year(s). You can do this by controlling for the year. [See GSS Guideline Handout for instructions on how to select a particular year or timeframe.}Instructions:Please write a thoughtful paper using paragraphs which includes the following sectionsIntroductiono Briefly describe your social issue or topic in an interesting way.o What is compelling about your issue or topic? What social problem or issue exists that you want to take a closer look at?o What is your research question?o Suggestion: “What is the relationship between [variable X] and [variable Y]?” or“Does X vary by Y?”o Clearly state your (strong) hypothesis – what do you think is the relationship between yourtwo variables? Why do you think this relationship exists?Datao Describe your independent and dependent variables by including the followinginformation:o Explain how this variable operationalizes your topic and research question. How dothey represent/measure/conceptualize your variable? How are they an indicator of a specific concept (i.e. race, class, gender, prejudice, civic engagement, attitude about gun control, etc.)?o GSS variable code nameo Exact wording of the survey questiono List of attributeso Level of measurement (i.e nominal, ordinal, etc.)[Consider having a paragraph that describes your IV and another paragraph describing your DV.]Results and Discussiono Using your IV and DV, create a bivariate cross-tabulation table.o Provide a “cleaned-up” table; do not simply “copy and paste” the GSS-website table. o Be sure to include: a title of the table, clearly labeled IV and DV variable, theattributes of each variable, percentages and number of responses in each cell, missing or invalid cases, and the source of the table. [See Babbie Chapter 14 for instructions on how to make a contingency table (p. 454).]o Provide a detailed analysis of your cross-tabulation table.o What patterns do you see between the variables? How do the dependent variablevalues change because of your independent variable? What trends do you see in thecells?o If table cells have fewer than 30 respondents, you do not have enough data togeneralize about that group, and you should state this in your analysis.o Was your hypothesis supported – why or why not? [Hint: Do you see at least a 10%difference across the columns?]Your response, which includes your table, should be 2-3 double-spaced pages (12-point, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins)." i will provide all lecture and videos help do this homework"
