Is forum shopping ethical? What are you using as your ethical standard?

/in /by

In its user service agreement, Facebook includes a forum selection clause that requires users with legal disputes to file any lawsuits against Facebook in courts physically located near its northern California corporate headquarters. Review the discussion of this issue in your textbook (Legal Strategy 101, pp. 100-101); then, analyze the following questions:

  1. Is forum shopping ethical? What are you using as your ethical standard?
  2. Should courts enforce forum selection clauses in business-to-consumer contracts like the Facebook user agreement? Why or why not?
  3. Suppose Facebook did not have a forum selection clause in its user agreement. Would Facebook be subject to the jurisdiction of every state court in the United States, since it has millions of users in every U.S. state?

This assignment requires that you analyze both a legal concept (forum shopping) and its application in a business contract (forum selection clause). Read the course material and the assignment carefully, and do not confuse or conflate the two.

What was the dilemma facing the Captain? How might he have weighed his decision?

/in /by

Captain Crozier, Commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, wrote and distributed a controversial letter that pleaded for help for crew members stricken by the COVID-19 virus in March of 2020. The communication was sent to several recipients and eventually found its way to the news media. The situation became front-page news and was actively debated in the media. Senior leaders believed that Captain Crozier may have avoided his chain of command for fear that his immediate leader would suppress the issue and expose the sailors to unnecessary danger. His decisions and actions that lead up to his writing of the letter are fraught with ethical dilemmas.

In this assignment you are asked to analyze ethical aspects surrounding Captain Crozier’s decision to widely disseminate the letter.

PREPARATION

Thoroughly research the issues using the Internet and the resources provided in What You Need to Know. You may need to conduct additional research to support your analysis.

As you can see by your research, there is a lot going on behind the scenes in this scenario. However, it is clear that the Captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt was facing a difficult ethical situation and tried to find the best way to communicate his concerns. There are many questions that likely come to mind, such as:

  • What was the dilemma facing the Captain? How might he have weighed his decision?
  • Should the Captain have sent the message? Why or why not?
  • Was the content of the communication appropriate, taking into the consideration the recipient(s) of the letter? Did he distribute the letter for maximum effect?
  • What should he have done differently?
  • Did the Captain violate Navy ethical guidelines? Are his actions at odds with communication guidelines? Is that how he should be judged?
  • Was his punishment justified?
  • How do you think his crew felt? Is that relevant?

INSTRUCTIONS

Consider the Captain’s decision to send the letter, the manner in which the letter was sent, and the recipient(s) of the letter. Complete both parts of this assignment in a single Word document.

Part 1: Analyze the Scenario

  • Analyze the ethical decision that the Captain faced as it relates to how he communicated his plea and in the context of his position. Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.
  • Analyze the primary failures and successes of the Captain’s communication strategy. Make sure to consider how the letter was distributed, the Captain’s possible intent, and the content of the letter.
  • If this situation had occurred in the private sector and not the military, would the outcomes have been similar or different? Defend your reasoning.

Part 2: Write a Communication

Imagine that you were the commanding officer of another naval ship who had followed this sequence of events closely. Your ship’s Public Affairs Officer reports to you and is responsible for many of the ship’s external communications, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the USS Theodore Roosevelt situation.

Send a communication to your Public Affairs Officer that conveys and re-enforces the primary lesson(s) learned from the incident on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Be sure you focus on the actions of the Captain. The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, convention, et cetera.

Additional Requirements
  • Complete both parts of this assignment in a single Word document.
  • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA style and formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.
  • Font: Times New Roman, 12 point.
  • Length: Part 1 should be 3–4 pages, double spaced, and Part 2 should be 1 page, double spaced. Page count does not include your cover page or reference page.
  • Cited resources: Use a minimum of three scholarly sources outside of the course text. All literature cited should be current, with publication dates within the past five years.

OL 325 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: The importance of compensation varies depending on the viewpoint, as stated by Barry Gerhart and Jerry Newman in Compensation. Society views compensation as a measure of justice; managers may view compensation as a major expense or a motivator; employees view compensation as an entitlement or as an incentive. Regardless of the viewpoint, fairness and equity are essential. Compensation must also be up-to-date, competitive in the market, and easy to understand. Aligned pay structures support the way the work gets done, fit the organization’s business strategy, and are fair to employees. Organizations typically task an in- house human resource (HR) professional or hire an HR consultant to create and maintain the company’s pay structure.

Prompt: In Milestone One, you will address the internal consistency component of a pay structure using the specially designed case scenario. Read the Final Project Case Study (linked to in your course) for detailed information on the requirements for this project. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.

Internal Consistency: A. Create complete job descriptions for the benefits manager and production worker position using O*NET. Note: There may be several versions of

these positions on O*NET. You should create personalized job descriptions that are tailored to the company. B. Calculate the job evaluation points for the administrative assistant, operations analyst, production worker, and benefits manager jobs. Provide a

rationale for assigning specific weights and degrees to the various jobs. Use the job descriptions you created in section one, as well as the job descriptions in Appendix A of the final project case study, as a reference. Note: The weights, broken down by the compensable factors, must total 100%.

C. Create job families for all the roles at the Rockville location. The families may be illustrated in a table or bullet format. List positions within each family based on the difficulty level. Provide a rationale for why jobs were assigned to the various families.

Rubric

Guidelines for Submission: Your final project will be a Word document, approximately 5–9 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Your Word document may include Word tables, Word lists, Excel screenshots, and rationale in written paragraphs. Use double spacing, 12- point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
