Based on available knowledge of health disparities in different populations, consider the scenario where a migrant worker in California has injured himself while on the job. He does not seek medical treatment for various reasons?

M2 – Health Disparities in different Populations

Based on available knowledge of health disparities in different populations, consider the scenario where a migrant worker in California has injured himself while on the job. He does not seek medical treatment for various reasons? Considering the social determinants of health, what are some factors that would influence this decision? Use evidence from a scholarly source to support your response. How do current policies perpetuate social determinants of health for these kinds of populations? What policy recommendations would you make to alleviate social determinants of health?

If you were a VW executive appointed after the scandal, what recommendations would you make to prevent something like this from happening in the future?

Volkswagen emissions scandal

In Chapter 2, we learned about an ethical decision-making process. Read the attached case study on the Volkswagen emissions scandal, and apply the ethical decision-making process in your analysis of the case (as if you were a manager at VW at the time the defeat devices were being installed) . If you were a VW executive appointed after the scandal, what recommendations would you make to prevent something like this from happening in the future?

 

Identify the basic argument of the text and highlight any relevant context (5 W’s). Analyze an effective rhetorical strategy being used to persuade the audience.

Rhetorical Analysis of “Recipe for a Happy Life”

For this assignment, you will choose one “text” that employs rhetoric in order to make an argument. What is a “text”? For our purposes, let’s consider both traditional texts (i.e., articles, editorials, essays, speeches, manifestos, biblical passages, etc.) and non-traditional texts (i.e., podcasts, Ted Talks, sermons, infographics, webpages, memes, etc.). My reasoning behind broadening the field for potential analyses is simple: I want you to write about a rhetorical situation that feels relevant, interesting, and timely–on a personal level.

The overall goal for this essay is to analyze how an author is using rhetoric to support his/her argument and to persuade his/her audience. You’ll notice that the essay begins with summarizing and ends with evaluating, which means the “heart” of this assignment is clear, perceptive, and well-supported analysis.

Proposed Outline:

● Introduction Paragraph – Identify the basic argument of the text and highlight any relevant context (5 W’s).

● Body Paragraphs – Analyze an effective rhetorical strategy being used to persuade the audience. Either quote or paraphrase from the text. Remember to start with observation. Tell me what the rhetorical technique in view is, then transition into analysis by telling me how the technique functions in the larger argument and/or affects the audience.

● Body Paragraphs – Criticize any rhetorical weaknesses in the argument. This includes omissions, misrepresentations, a failure to address counterarguments, significant blows to ethos, imbalances (overall or on specific issues), structural defects, and, of course, logical fallacies. Explain how these weaknesses undermine their specific position in the text and the author’s larger argument.

● Conclusion Paragraph – Evaluate the text’s overall rhetorical effectiveness in light of Aristotle’s ideal. In what ways was it effective? In what ways did it fail? Is it particularly persuasive for certain demographics? Avoid simplistic “good vs. bad” assessments. Attempt to offer a fair, nuanced review of the text’s various strengths and weaknesses.

With reference to case law and academic commentary, critically discuss the impact that Prest has had in the area of lifting the corporate veil.

COMPANY LAW COURSEWORK

Answer the question below.

‘The Supreme Court’s judgment in Prest v Petrodel [2013] UKSC 34 has been at the centre of attention for almost a decade. Although the judgment talks about the doctrine of lifting the veil being an “incoherent label” (para 106 per Lord Walker), there seems to be a growing consensus that Prest has revived and re-established the Salomon principle instead of undermining it or calling for its abolition.’

With reference to case law and academic commentary, critically discuss the impact that Prest has had in the area of lifting the corporate veil.
