BA 302 Business Law and Ethics Week 3 Discussion
BA 302 Business Law and Ethics Week 3 Discussion
DQ1 Assume that I come to your store day after day to purchase a newspaper. One day, I decide that I also want a candy bar. I pick one up. Your store is busy and you are helping another customer away from the cash register but within my line of sight. I wave the candy bar in your direction. You neither affirmatively nor negatively respond. I walk out without paying. My intention is to come back the next day to pay for it. (Remember this week’s topic.)
Whether or not you would go ahead and prosecute me, have I, in fact, committed a crime? Do not explain whether you would or would not prosecute as it is not germane to the discussion topic. What other facts, if any, would you want to know?
DQ2 Should a person be required to sign an arbitration agreement as a prerequisite to getting medical treatment in a non-emergency situation? Why or why not? If so, should the arbitration agreement include a provision that terminates the agreement after a certain period of time or a given event?
DQ3 In an era in which business fortunes may change rapidly, can a prospective employee ever justifiably rely on statements made by a prospective employer during a job interview? If so, what type or types of statements can be justifiably relied upon?
