You Make the Call

Situation 1

Jonathan Lugar, 17, had just finished helping his mom with a garage sale when it occurred to him that he might create a business to do the same for others and make a little money for college. The idea was to offer a service that would take the headache out of running a garage sale. Lugar would handle all advertising and sale setup, and his experience with other garage sales in the area would allow him to coach sellers on pricing so that items would actually be purchased. He figured he could charge $200 per job for sales that bring in $400 or less, but he and the seller would split sales above $400 on a 50-50 basis. Lugar believes the greatest value added from his services would be from his pricing insights, since most people rarely have a garage sale and thus have little idea about how much to ask for items. Careful pricing would make his customers happy, since they could maximize their sales and minimize the risk that they would be left with the very items they were trying to get rid of. In fact, Lugar planned to keep track of how much things sold for to fine-tune his pricing advice. He estimates that his startup costs would be minimal and would come mostly from the use of his truck and some fuel.

1. Question 1 How would you classify Lugar’s startup idea? Is it a new market idea, a new technology idea, or a new benefit idea?
2. Question 2 What was the source of Lugar’s startup idea?
3. Question 3 Would you recommend that he give this startup concept a try? Explain your reasoning.

Prevention and Treatment Presentation

This week you will identify current prevention and treatment strategies used to address juvenile delinquency.

In the context of juvenile delinquency, treatment and prevention take on two different meanings. Treatment is reactive in nature, providing remedies for issues and conditions already present. Prevention, on the other hand, is proactive in nature, concentrating on eliminating or reducing the commission of certain conduct or the presence of certain situations.

Create an eight slide PowerPoint presentation which lists current prevention and treatment strategies. Include the following in your presentation:

• List two current prevention strategies.
• Discuss how effective each prevention strategy is in successfully rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent.
• List two current treatment strategies.
• Discuss how effective each treatment strategy is in successfully rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent.

Provide case studies/examples of each.

Note: This Assignment requires outside research. Use at least two credible sources and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used. You may consult the Library, the Internet, course materials, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations in APA style.

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics. 

• Contains a title slide, introduction slide and references slide (these do not count in the eight slide requirement).
• Bullets for your main points.
• Pictures to support your presentation where applicable.
• Research from at least two reliable sources to support the main message, including graphics.
• Incorporate information from course readings, the course materials, or other library sources to support your discussion. Properly cite all sources of information by including in-text citations and a list of
  references.
• Research and visuals are cited in APA citation format, both in-text and on a References slide. You need to quote material taken directly from a source.
• The same standards for documenting sources that apply to an essay, apply to a presentation. Go to the
  Academic Writer website for a digital library of APA Style quick guides and tutorials to refine your writing.
