Write an advisory report to Crichton Construction in response to several legal issues that have arisen (as detailed below). The report should be written in your own words and should include references to appropriate sources, statute and cases. Crichton Construction (CC) are a building contractor. They have approached you for some legal advice regarding their potential liabilities/rights of action on four separate projects: 1. CC are currently employed as main contractors for a new office extension. CC have just learned that a local building inspector visiting the site has broken his leg after falling into a trench excavation. The trench was in the process of being dug by CC’s groundwork subcontractor, Doug. Apparently there was a sign close to the trench that read, “Beware of Construction Works”. Furthermore, CC have previously been made aware that a group of school children have been regularly entering the site at night through a hole in the perimeter site fence. An angry parent is now claiming that her son has been badly injured after falling from the site scaffold. Advise CC as to their potential lability to the inspector and the child. 2. CC have just learned that the Employer on another project has become insolvent and the site has been secured. CC were employed to supply and install some large industrial doors. CC now intend to enter the site to reclaim the doors that have already been delivered to site as they have not yet been paid for them. Half of the doors has already been fixed into position. CC are hoping that a Romapla Clause contained in the door delivery note will allow them to retain ownership. Advise CC as to their possible claim to the doors and the recommended course of action. 3. On another project, there has been a delay to the contractual completion date. The contract is now 6 months late. CC are complaining that the Employer has not paid them on time despite having a monthly payment schedule in their contract. Six weeks ago, CC submitted an interim application and are still awaiting payment. CC however admit the sum claimed was exaggerated. Advise CC as to their rights under relevant statute and common law. 4. CC have been awarded a new project with a tight construction programme. CC have asked their bricklaying subcontractor to start work immediately whilst the subcontract terms are being negotiated. CC are unsure about the possible contractual risks of instructing the bricklaying subcontractor to start work without having finalised the relevant contract documents. Advise CC about the risks of proceeding and how such risks can be mitigated.

In practice hardly anyone today accepts the extreme positions of gender development being guided solely either by heredity or environment. It is difficult to accept an “all or nothing” view, so, perhaps, the question should be as to how much of contribution each makes. In this comprehensive Signature Assignment you will debate nature vs. nurture factors and theories in gender development supported by scholarly research throughout. If we accept the view that heredity and environment both influence our gender identity the question that intrigues researchers is how do the two interconnect or where and when they start overlapping? You will explain the theories you will be discussing and include advantages and disadvantages of each of those theories if accepted in its totality, for the individual and for the society at large. Finally, you will state an argument for integration of both theories as you see it. As we discussed above, gender development research is very complicated in its practical sense of executing such a research with minors as well as in the topic itself. More and more researchers are adopting the integrating focus of biological and environmental impact on development. For your Signature Assignment, you will consider aspects of this Nature vs. Nurture debate in research, making sure to include the following in your final paper: Introduction to gender development concepts Biological theories Cognitive/behavioral theories Family/social impact on gender development Stereotypes Cross-cultural perspectives Conclusion supporting your own views based on the research Length: 10-12 pages References: Include a minimum of five scholarly articles published in the last five years in addition to any seminal work if needed. In addition, you may include scholarly websites or other scholarly resources.

Shopping for Theoretical Perspectives at Wal-Mart
No unread replies.No replies.
For this discussion, you’ll be asking and answering theoretically driven questions about a familiar social institution: Wal-Mart (or Target, or another large-scale shopping center).  Wal-Mart, the highest-grossing company in the United States, is part of a widespread retail phenomenon called the “big box”.  Big box stores are huge, warehouse-like buildings that feature just about every imaginable commodity under one roof.  The Wal-Mart Super Center in East Peoria, Illinois, is an excellent example: in its vast, cavernous interior, you can buy groceries, guns, gardening equipment, books, clothes, appliances, furniture, pharmaceuticals, and greeting cards, all while waiting for your photos to be developed and your tires to be rotated. Wal-Mart seeks to be all things to all people – judging by its position at the top of the Fortune 500 list, it seems to have succeeded.
Wal-Mart’s success, though, has driven out of business thousands of local “mom and pop” stores, which just can’t compete with the low prices and huge selection of the big box.  When Wal-Mart moves into a town, independently owned businesses soon go under.  Also, the company has been accused of underpaying and exploiting its low-wage workers, union busting, and engaging in sex discrimination in hiring and promoting.  There are at any given time multiple lawsuits pending against this corporate giant for its labor practices.
Think about your own shopping experiences (if not at Wal-Mart then at another big-box retailer).  You might even want to visit your local store.  Walk up and down the aisles and observe the other shoppers.  Note how and where the goods are displayed.  How do the shoppers and staffers interact with the products and with each other?  If you get a chance, try to view several of Wal-Marts television commercials as well.  Then sit down with the following questions and write out your answers.  They should help you see how making different theoretical assumptions can allow us to analyze the same object but come up with different interpretations.
Functionalist questions:
What are the functions of Wal-Mart?
Are they the same or different from the functions of Wal-Mart in our individual lives?  How do the two type of functions connect?
Does Wal-Mart have both manifest and latent functions?  What are they?
Are there any dysfunctions of Wal-Mart for society?  If so, what are they?  How might these dysfunctions serve as incentives or catalysts for social change?
Conflict questions:
Does Wal-Mart affect every group in society in the same way?  If not, what are the differences?
How does Wal-Mart perpetuate the inequalities (of gender, race, class, religion, age, sexual orientation, etc.) in our society?
How does Wal-Mart contribute to conflict between unequal groups in our society?
How might Wal-Mart contribute to social change or the amelioration of inequalities in society?
Interactionist questions:
What kind of symbolic world are you likely to encounter inside a Wal-Mart store, and how does that affect the shopper’s experience?
How does Wal-Mart influence our interpersonal interactions?
How do interpersonal interactions shape the Wal-Mart experience for shoppers? For workers?
How does Wal-Mart contribute to our socially constructed reality?
Write a two-page essay describing your observations and answering the questions posed above.  Make sure to refer to specific observations made during your Wal-Mart visit to support your analysis.
