Discussion Option 1 : Business Law

Today, there are several options for people who want to pursue a legal claim. This includes filing a lawsuit in court, but also includes alternative forms of dispute resolution (referred to as ADR) such as mediation and arbitration.

In both mediation and arbitration, the dispute is resolved outside of court, with the main difference being that mediation requires the parties to voluntarily agree to a resolution, while arbitration requires the parties to abide by the decision of a private arbitrator.

For this discussion, choose one of the disputes listed below and explain whether you think the best way to resolve it is through a lawsuit, mediation, or arbitration.

• A woman is passed over for promotion and instead the job is award to a man with less experience. She believes that this is a case of sex discrimination.

• A truck driver is hit by a motorist who ran a stop sign and will be in the hospital for several months and does not have any savings or disability benefits.

• A child is injured when a very popular folding high-chair collapses, and it appears that the high-chair was improperly designed and unable to reliably support the weight of the average infant.

Intro Physical Science

Discussion Option 2: Newton's 1st Law can be stated as follows-

An object in motion stays in unchanging motion unless acted on by a net force. And an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by a net force.

Our daily experience bears out the second part well. If an apple is sitting on the table, it will keep doing that unless I pick it up. But we generally don't see things that move forever...

For this discussion option respond to the following:

Let's say Jill is playing hockey on a frozen lake. She hits the puck with the stick and it slides along the ice. Answer the following questions:

1. After she hits the puck, will it continue on forever? Why or why not?

2. Name all the forces acting on the hockey puck (after it was hit)

3. Think of three possible ways it would come to a stop- what makes it come to a stop in each case?

4. Respond meaningfully to two students in the discussion thread
