Using the Required Readings and your own research:

• Review the requirements for a patent.

• Then further discuss: Should a company be allowed to

patent a life form? Does it matter if the life form is a non-
sentient organism like a plant? Is there a place where the law can
ethically draw a line between life as property and life as beyond
any person or business appropriation?

• In considering these questions read: Assn for Molecular

BUSN311 Week 3 Discussion COnstitutional Law

Many businesses today, as corporate entities other than sole
proprietorships, voice their political and social views in various
ways. Chick-fil-A is an example of a business that voiced prominent
views on the issue of gay rights, a perception it since has tried to reverse.
This news article briefly summarizes the Chick-fil-A controversy.

The subject of gay rights is an evolving issue of constitutional

implications. Another business, a Colorado bakery, stepped into center
ring of controversy asserting that First Amendment free exercise of
religion overrode Colorado's discrimination laws requiring equal access of
service to the public. For this Forum, consider this case: the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil
Rights Commission, 138 S.Ct. 1718 (2018). Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd.
was a small bakery, whose owner refused to create and sell a wedding
cake to a same-sex couple for their wedding because the marriage was
against his religious beliefs.
 • Explain the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in this case. Do
you agree with the Court's decision? Explain.

• Compare the outcome of this case to the Court's finding of

race discrimination under the Commerce Clause in Katzenbach v.
McClung, 379 U.S. 294 (1964)

• Do you agree that a business entity (other than a sole

proprietorship) should have the same First Amendment rights as
individual human citizens? Why or why not?

• Readings to assist you with this Discussion are listed

in Additional Readings for Week 3 under Content.

Additional Chick-fil-A reference: Severson, K. (2012, July 25). Chick-fil-A thrust

back into the spotlight on gay rights. New York Times.

BUSN311 Unit 3 Paper in Format IP

You are a Business Analyst working for the ABC Ball Bearing company. An hour ago, you
sent an order of 74 boxes of your A1 ball bearings to a customer on your delivery truck. You
have just found out that your truck is going to go over a bridge that has a weight limit of
11,500 lbs. You need to determine if your truck will safely make it over the bridge. If you
determine that the truck cannot make it over the bridge, you will need to call the driver and
have him/her turn back.
The plant manager has told you that an empty delivery truck with the driver weights about
8500 lbs.
You have 30 boxes of the A1 ball bearings in your plant. You immediately had them
weighed. The weights of the boxes are:

40.1 41.1 39.5 40.1 39.1

41.2 37.639.1 41.6 40.8

43.2 38.938.1 43.5 36.9
39.1 40.541.2 37.6 44.0
38.0 39.842.1 38.6 41.3
43.7 36.943.6 38.1 40.2
1. Calculate the Mean and the Standard Deviation of this sample.
2. Using the normal distribution curve, calculate the probability the truck's total
weight is under 11,500 lbs. What is your decision? Will you allow the truck to
 continue or will you call the driver and tell him/her to turn back? Show all of your
calculations.
3. Discuss several types of sampling: e. convenience sampling, random
sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling or cluster sampling. Discuss which
type of sampling is used in this scenario.
4. Discuss what sampling bias is. Do you believe that using the 30 boxes in your
warehouse caused sampling bias?
5. What does the central limit theorem state and why is it important to solving
this problem. Is the thirty boxes of ball bearings enough to predict the probability of
safely going over the bridge?
Use the template provided to complete a 5-page report (excluding the cover page). NOTE:

BUSN311 Week 7 Assignment

Instructions:
This essay is due on Sunday of Week 7, 11:59 pm ET.
"Unlimited submissions" - This means you have multiple opportunities to
submit a draft of your paper to the Assignment dropbox before the due
date to check for yourself the TurnItIn Report for similarity and any other
issues, and make any revisions you need. There is only one final
submission for grading.
Essay topic: Reflecting on the concepts in the course, select and
research one (1) of the company situations listed below and discuss
the legal and ethical issues surrounding it. At least one citation for
each company is provided to get you started and you may use this
citation as one of your sources. It is expected you will use the course
required readings plus your own independent research in support of this
paper.
Your essay should include the following, organized in your paper using
APA headings with logical and smooth transitions.
1) A well-formulated introduction that
• identifies the company,
• states the company's ethical dilemma presented in the facts,
and
• states a thesis statement for the paper that provides the
reader a well-conceived approach or practical perspective on the
problem presented by the company's situation. This will
demonstrate more than one academic topic is covered.
2) Discuss how the philosophy of economist Milton
Friedman's shareholder or free market ethics may have influenced the
leadership of the company; include the concept of corporate social
responsibility.
3) Identify and define another ethical framework that the company
leadership could have utilized in this situation and explain how this
ethical framework would have led to a different result. Explain
specifically how the company effectively would have employed this
framework.
4) Identify and apply three general legal topics that are discussed in
the required readings this term. Do NOT use ethics or the company's main
legal issue. These are to be additional legal issues. For example if you
chose Ford, that is a consumer and product liability problem so additional
legal topics cannot be consumer and product liability topics or the ethical
issues you are addressing. There are many other possibilities --
employment, contract, bankruptcy, criminal law, fIP, etc. Fully define the
principles you select and analyze their application to your chosen
company's business, issues and circumstances. Include in-text citations to
the course materials, as failing to cite your sources will result loss of
credit. NOTE: The required readings are listed in the Lessons section for
