SUPPORT FOR ETHICAL ISSUES: As stated in the case, Burlington did not “question the jury’s determination that the motivation for these acts was retaliatory.” Inferring that this is an admission of guilt by Burlington, one can conclude that a deliberate business decision to retaliate outweighed any legal ramifications.

Who is at fault? How much should I get? How long do I have to cerebrate about it? These are the three sizable questions when it comes to tort reform. This is one of the sultriest legal topics bypassing the country because not only does it affect the victim, it withal effects the incriminated and the rest of the taxpayers. First, if there is no tort reform the United States will perpetuate on its lawsuit blissful path causing insurance rates and costs to perpetuate to skyrocket. On the other hand, if there is an inordinate amount of reform, victims will be left behind and their rights lost. Lastly, I would relish to do more research on what precisely needs to be transmuted to make the legislation fair for all parties involved. In Conclusion,

After the killing has taken place it is a well known fact who committed the crime. It is not really a question of guilt. The town knows that the Vicario Brothers are guilty. Somehow the brothers still have a viable defense against their actions. They claim that they carried out these actions to regain the honor that Santiago Nasar had stolen from them and their family. This was seen as good reason by the town, which brings up the question of who the real villain in this situation is, the Vicario brothers or the people of the town. Given the circumstances, society is the real villain in this book. The brothers made it very obvious to the town that they were going to kill Santiago. They did so, so that the town would stop them, but they didn't. The author makes it very clear that the brothers had no evil intentions, but rather to kill him in the "legitimate defense of honor". Society on the other hand just sat back and let Santiago get killed. The mayor is told of this coming murder, and finds it better suited for himself to play dominoes instead. When he is finished Santiago has already been killed. Society is idle to stopping the death of Santiago. So in the end, society is the real villain in this book, not one or two people in particular.

Individuals have a legal and moral right to receive compensation for their injuries. No corporation or entity should be permitted to have a negative impact on a person's life without being held responsible. The new legal division at Zanes Law works to ensure they are accountable for their

As I began to read this case, it was clear from the start that I would need to separate my emotions from the objective facts of the situation. It was tragic what these people went through but my analysis would not change anything that has already happened. On whether or not I agree with the court, my opinion at first was that the individuals hurt during this disaster did not get paid enough. However after much reflection, this was most likely the most they could be awarded and additionally, keeping inflation in mind, the victims got paid much more than I had originally believed they were paid.

Shane, being relatively new to La Polpetta, is doing a great job as a manager; however, I believe that the decision to continue the 30 percent discount deal is extremely important and requires an equal

Race, class, gender, pragmatism, social justice, and other sociological factors play an important role in many tort cases as well. There are many tort law perspectives by which a tort case can be analyzed namely: Law and Economics; Corrective Justice; Critical Race Theory; Critical Feminism; Pragmatism; and Social Justice. In this essay I am mainly bringing out the facts of the tragedy and the importance of Law and Economic Perspective, which favors an industry such as the Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) in this case, and also the Social Justice Perspective, which speaks in favor of the people of Bhopal.
