Little Big Corporation

Little Big Corporation hired Stuart as a delivery driver. Before Stuart was hired, the personnel director of Big Little Corporation not only interviewed Stuart and
asked him about his driving record and the status of his driver’s license, but the personnel director also obtained an official driving record for Stuart and talked
with Stuart’s former employer specifically about Stuart’s driving record. There was no indication from the interview with Stuart, from his driving record, or from
Stuart’s previous employer that Stuart was an unsafe driver.

When Stuart was hired by Little Big Corporation, he was thoroughly trained in the operation of the delivery truck that he would be driving and provided an employee
safety manual which he was required to (and did) read.
disscusion

For seven years, Stuart worked as a delivery driver for Little Big Corporation without any accidents or problems. In Stuart’s eighth year as a delivery driver for
Little Big Corporation, while making a delivery, he was distracted by something in the cab of his delivery truck, ran a stop sign and hit the car that was being driven
by Peggy. Peggy suffered a broken leg and her car was badly damaged.

Peggy sued Stuart and Little Big Corporation for her injuries and damage, and she was awarded damages against Stuart and Little Big Corporation. Little Big
Corporation was considered to be fully responsible for these damages under the doctrine of respondeat superior.

Is that fair to Little Big Corporation? What is accomplished by making an employer liable for the actions of their employees if the employer has done everything
within reason to make sure that its employees are qualified and trained to do their jobs safely? 200 word

Case Analysis
Dave is a driver for Empire Courier Service. Around the company, Dave is known as sort of a hothead. During his
previous employment at another company, Dave had been involved in a workplace fistfight with a fellow employee,resulting in criminal charges.
One day, between deliveries and in a company vehicle, Dave decides to get lunch. While leaving the parking lot at Big Burrito Bistro, the favorite lunch spot for most
Empire Courier employees, Dave negligently causes a car accident with
another vehicle, resulting in injuries to Victor, the driver of the other car. As Dave and Victor are waiting on the side of the
road for the police to arrive, Victor comments to Dave, “Oh, you drive for Empire Courier Service. It doesn’t surprise me that Empire hires bad d
rivers because their service stinks,
and their prices are too high!” Dave is so offended that Victor
would insult his employer’s professional reputation that he punches Victor in the face, causing Victor to suffer even more injuries. Empire Courier Service does not,
as a matter of policy, do criminal background checks on its employees.
Considering the legal principles discussed in Chapter 20, explain who is liable for Dave’s negligence for causing the car accident, and
explain who is liable for Dave’s intentional tort for punching Victor. Provide your answers in a case analysis of a minimum of 500 words. Cite any direct quotes or
paraphrased material from outside sources. Use APA format.

The police arrive where they find and arrest five burglars in the Democratic National Committee headquarters office within the complex

Panel Discussion of the Film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVrGZSxpBEA

On the early morning hours of June 19, 1972, a security guard (Frank Wills, playing himself) at the Watergate complex finds a door kept unlocked with tape. The police
arrive where they find and arrest five burglars in the Democratic National Committee headquarters office within the complex. The next morning, The Washington Post
assigns new reporter Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) to the unimportant story.

Woodward learns that the five men – four Cuban-Americans from Miami and their ringleader James W. McCord, Jr. had bugging equipment and have their own “country club”
attorney. McCord identifies himself in court as having recently left the Central Intelligence Agency, and the others also have CIA ties. The reporter connects the
burglars to E. Howard Hunt, formerly of the CIA, and President Richard Nixon’s Special Counsel Charles Colson.

Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), another Post reporter, is assigned to cover the Watergate story with Woodward. The two are reluctant partners, but work well together.
Executive editor Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards) believes their work is incomplete, however, and not worthy of the Post’s front page. He encourages them to continue to
gather information.

Woodward contacts “Deep Throat” (Hal Holbrook), a senior government official and anonymous source he has used before in the past. Communicating through copies of the
The New York Times and a balcony flowerpot, they meet in a parking garage in the middle of the night. Deep Throat speaks in riddles and metaphors about the Watergate
break-in, but advises Woodward to “follow the money”.

Over the next few weeks, Woodward and Bernstein connect the five burglars to thousands of dollars in diverted campaign contributions to Nixon’s Committee to Re-elect
the President (CRP, or CREEP). Bradlee and others at the Post dislike the two young reporters’ reliance on unnamed sources like Deep Throat, and wonder why the Nixon
administration would break the law when the President is likely to defeat Democratic nominee George McGovern.

Through former CREEP treasurer Hugh W. Sloan, Jr., Woodward and Bernstein connect a slush fund of hundreds of thousands of dollars to White House Chief of Staff H. R.
Haldeman, “the second most important man in this country,” and former Nixon Attorney General John N. Mitchell, now head of CREEP. They learn that CREEP used the fund
to begin a “rat-fucking” campaign to sabotage Democratic presidential candidates a year before the Watergate burglary, when Nixon was behind Edmund Muskie in the
polls.

Bradlee’s demand for thoroughness forces the reporters to obtain other sources to confirm the Haldeman connection. When the White House issues a non-denial denial of
the Post’s above-the-fold story, the editor thus continues to support them.

Woodward secretly meets with Deep Throat again for more questions where Deep Throat finally reveals that the Watergate break-in was indeed masterminded by Haldeman.
Deep Throat also claims that the cover-up by those in the White House was not to hide the other burglaries or of the burglars involvment with CREEP, but to hide the
“covert operations” involving “the entire U.S. intelligence community”, and warns that Woodward, Bernstein, and others’ lives are in danger. When Woodward and
Bernstein relay this to Bradlee, he urges the reporters to continue despite the risk and Nixon’s re-election.

In the final scene, set on January 20, 1973, Bernstein and Woodward type out the full story, with the TV showing Nixon taking the Oath of Office, for his second term
as President of the United States, in the foreground. A montage of Watergate-related teletype headlines from the following years is shown ending with Nixon’s
resignation and the inauguration of Gerald Ford on August 9, 1974.

10. Research suggest that romantic background music increases the likelihood that a woman will give her phone number to a man she has just met (Gueguen & Jacob, 2010).
In the study, women spent time in a waiting room with background music playing. In one condition, the music was a popular love song and for the other condition the
music was a neutral song. The participant was then moved to another room in which she was instructed to discuss two food products with a young man. The men were part
of the study and were selected because they had been rated as average in attractiveness. The experimenter returned to end the study and asked the pair to wait alone
for a few minutes. During this time, the man used a scripted line to ask the woman for her phone number. The following table presents data similar to those obtained in
the study, showing the number of women who did or did not give their numbers for each music condition. phone number no number Romantic Music 21 19 40 Neutral Music 9
