Jon Stonewall Case Summary

When making his decision, McGregor should consider seriously the negative consequences that his business will experience if he refuses Alward’s offer to fill the motel for the two weekend nights in October, at half the room rate. If McGregor refuses, during that weekend his motel will be at his usual capacity of less than quarter full. With the church group there, paying half the rate, it will be as if the motel were half-full! In addition, if he refuses, McGregor’s reputation in the community will suffer, and he will also lose all future business from Alward’s group and other church groups, at regular price. Consequently, Justin McGregor should accept Alward’s offer but under the following two

The Scottsboro Trials were among the largest legal injustices in the South. The events that started the trials began in the early spring of 1931, when nine young black men were falsely accused of raping two white women on a train. The cases were tried and appealed in Alabama and twice argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. The state pursued the case and all-white juries delivered guilty verdicts that initially carried the death penalty. Several of the accused were sentenced to prison terms and all had long stays in prison as the case made its way through the legal system. The case later was one of the inspirations for Harper Lee's book “To Kill A Mockingbird”

In Energetics meets Generex negotiation, I was acting as a Chief Operating Officer (COO) for Energetics Corporation and my opponent and my classmate Chace Eskam was acting as a COO of Generex Corporation. In this deal, as a COO I was supposed to sell the Wind energy division of the Energetics to Generex. Energetics Corporation was in desperate need of cash due to bankruptcy. Another hurdle was that I could not sell three different locations of Wind plants individually. My company needed cash within three months with no additional terms added to this deal. My another best alternative was to sell all the assets of Wind Energy division to generate some cash if deal with Generex fails in this negotiation. Our negotiation went on for 15-20 minutes during class time and deal was set in $247 millions. My opponent Chace was very tough in this negotiation to deal. He was very prepared with facts and numbers before he came to the table. My opponent asked me lot questions such as the depreciation of the property, equipment’s life, taxes etc. After having lot of discussion we ultimately came to the conclusion that Generex will pay Energetics $247 million right away in cash to purchase Wind Energy division from Energetics.

It’s always good to start investing money at an early age, however, it’s a hard start. Many banks have improved interest rates as well as no opening fees to start a savings account. Stocks, such as health and technology are also currently going up. Billy should start by saving small amounts of money per week for two years and placing it in a savings account. He should also buy health and tech stocks, such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), and keep a diversified portfolio, along with buying bonds.

Helen Stonewall is a married 32-year-old African American female. Helen was brought into see me because she had to be removed from the middle of the street by the police where she was dancing in the half naked at 2am without having any sense of danger. Just before that she was removed from a bar where she was dancing on the table and ignoring the bartenders request to get down. Helen had consumed only two drinks before these acts were committed her medical evaluation concludes that there was no excessive use of drugs. She said, “that she was high on life”.

The Civil War of 1861 – 1865 remains one of the most tragic pages in the American history. It claimed about 700,000 lives and nearly destroyed the unity of the nation (American Civil War). Naturally, such a massive clash could not have burst out inadvertently. Decades of differences between the North and South had led to a full-scale military clash. Two events cannot be overlooked when analyzing the roots of the conflict: the Dred Scott case and Southern secession.

The struggle for gay rights was not always publicized due to fear for being “ill” for thinking that way. The fight for rights was known in the mental health community as an illness. In the courts where same-sex couples would be denied the right to marry, from the Stonewall riots to the U.S. Supreme Court decision on June 26 of this year, the evolvement and difficulty of those fighting.

In Taney’s opinion on the Scott vs. Sanford case, he reasons why the court’s decision to refuse Dred Scott’s citizenship was the right one. Taney pulls from multiple sources, such as the declaration of independence, the constitution, and congress to void Dred Scott’s case. With a stoic tone, Taney meticulously tears Scott’s claim to shreds. Taney does not believe that Dred Scott is entitled to citizenship. In his written opinion, he conveys this in the most professional way possible.

The Dred Scott decision was a landmark Supreme Court decision on slavery in 1857. Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom after living in Illinois and Wisconsin Territory where slavery was banned. Mr. Scott argued that he should be free since he had lived on free soil. The Supreme Court was to decide three questions: should a black person be considered a citizen and have the ability to sue in court, Did residence in a free state make Mr. Scott free? Did Congress possess the power to prohibit slavery in a territory? The Court was divided on these questions and each Justice issued an opinion. Chief Justice, Roger B. Taney, declared “that only white persons could be citizens”. He insisted that the founding fathers believed that

She found her home to a community of sex workers. She left that community at the age of 18 and became one of the instigators of the Stonewall uprising. She was an eighteen year old drag queen that was a part of the crowd that was gathered outside the stonewall Inn. According to “LGBTHistoryMonth”, “Rivera reportedly shouted, "I'm not missing a minute of this, it's the revolution!" As police escorted patrons from the bar, Rivera was one of the first bystanders to throw a bottle.” After the Stonewall, Rivera joined the Gay Activist Alliance and fought to pass the New York City Gay Rights Bill. She also fought hard against the exclusion of transgender people from the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act in New York, and was a loud and persistent

Maintaining high standards of evidence was important when quitting a witch because at the time large scale prosecutions of “witches” occurred. This is due to the fact that witches had been identified as enemies of God in a society that was heavily ruled by their faith. People thought that if they didn’t hunt down these supposed sorcerers they would feel the wrath of God. However, when adhering to normal laws, it is almost impossible to convict a woman of dabbling with magic. Fortunately, the appointed judge of a woman named Geillis Johnson recognized this and is perhaps the only reason as to why she was set free. Geillis Johnson had been accused of accidently murdering her son through witchcraft by his in-laws, but any evidence against her

The Case of Bob and Sue is a complicated one, in the first situation they are in a furniture store. In the furniture store, Bob and Sue were looking to purchase a living room set and they found one, but they needed some time to check their finance before they make any decision. However, the salesperson from the furniture store assures them that they will hold the living room set for 10 days at $2500. He wrote down the name of the unit, price and for how long it will be held.

* Hotel capacity and breakeven: There are 824 rooms in the hotel. 40 rooms will take away about 4.85% (40/824=4.85%) of the total capacity. The revenue and profit contribution are about 4.85% maximum of hotel total revenue and profit if $105 room rate is assumed to be the minimum room rate for the hotel and 115 nights are sold for all the rest of the rooms. The loss of the margin showed in Table 4 is minimal from the capacity perspective. The hotel can well cover the profit lost by selling more rooms or adjust the other rooms’ rates a little. If the hotel does not sell the rooms quickly, the hotel will have a slow speed to reach at its breakeven point and then make money.

The subject matter of the case is presented as a negotiation between a real estate developer, Hawkins, and a possible anchor tenant, Discount Marketplace.
