Dear Writer please remember that the main source for my posts will be the text. Also, when you do cite any other source, you also need to provide the web link so that we can access it to. Also, when citing a loan from the text, quote it directly and then place it in quotation marks. In trying to find synonyms,sometimes changing the meaning so that it doesn’t make any sense. Finally, if you are going to use research in your posts, you must also follow all of Keller’s guidelines for using research which includes the 80/20 rule. Research should make up 20% or less of each post and 80% or more of every one of your posts should come directly from you explaining that the information you found means to our topic/case.
QUESTION# 1
Please read problem 3 at the end of Chapter 17 regarding the lawsuit by alleged thief Mr. Mapp against Gimbels Department Store. Under what theory might Mr. Mapp argue that Gimbels is liable for the assault committed against Mapp by Mr. DiDomenico, an employee of J.C. Penney’s? Would Mr. Mapp be successful under the theory you chose? Why or why not?
Discussion Reminders:
1. Follow Keller’s guidelines for using research in ALL of your posts including citing your sources using in-text citations (with page numbers), placing direct quotes in quotation marks and following the 80/20 rule (see the announcement posted about this).
2. Do NOT post the decisions for the cases we are discussing. In fact, do not use ANY information from the case decision in your posts until I ask you to do so which won’t be until after I have posted the case decision. I am not concerned about whether or not you’ve posted the “correct†decision. I want everyone to have the opportunity to share their unbiased thoughts and opinions about the case. It is very difficult to debate both sides of a question, issue or case when someone posts the decision. Our goal is to use the cases in the weekly discussions to help each of you practice your approach to handling challenging circumstances.

QUESTION# 2
The website EEOC.gov should be a bookmarked site for any individual who is working as or plans to work as a manager in a business with more than one (i.e., the owner) employee. This website contains the information that the federal government expects companies and businesses to use and follow with respect to hiring, firing, and disciplining its employees. It explains disabilities, how to handle them, and when to use them in making hiring decisions. It also provides information about “protected classes,” in which people must be a member before they can claim “discrimination.”

You should plan to visit the EEOC website during this week to help work through this ethical dilemma faced by Paul and Mary, two managers in the company in “The Lemon Tree.” Read through the fictional dilemma, and then choose the subject of discrimination discussed therein, planning to debate the ramifications of that with your classmates and your instructor. Some of this seems obvious, but others aren’t as easy to determine as they seem. Your instructor will bring in new and different “twists and turns†as we go along. Read the dilemma, and then let’s discuss. (The dilemma is found on the left tree, entitled “The Lemon Tree Dilemma.” )
What is one way that Title VII has been violated? Identify the specific aspect of the law that applies, explain what it entails and then apply to the facts of the case to demonstrate how it has been met.
If you answer this question (and you are not required to), either choose a violation not already provided by one of your classmates OR support or refute a classmate’s post by providing additional support (examples, facts, law, cases, etc) for it.
