Income inequality is a fact of today’s America. The top 1% hold more wealth as the other 99% combines. However, “unequal” doesn’t necessarily mean “unfair” or “unjust.” In your opinion, does income inequality represent an ethical or social problem? What steps, if any, should government take to ameliorate income inequality? You may use the information from your group and other’s presentation #1 for this paper

Respond to the following question, or a question that is logically similar to it (if it is very different, clear it with instructor); your clear and defensible response to it will be your thesis:
a. What is the meaning of life?
2. Present at least two arguments for your position and demonstrate your understanding of some main points and arguments of at least three of the readings we’ve read in the course.
3. Word minimum: 3000 words. Word maximum: 4000 words.
4. Make sure you have a clearly stated thesis that begins with the words “In this paper I will argue that . . .” and that appears in the first paragraph of the paper. The thesis should contain a normative claim.
5. Reference any ideas you use from other sources, and make sure you properly cite all works consulted.
6. Consider one or more alternative analyses/interpretations to at least one aspect of the position you take. Respond to any alternative approach by explaining why you think it is the wrong approach, or allow that some part, or all, of the approach is correct and give reasons why.
7. Use your own words, except where explicitly quoted and/or referenced. Failure to do this could result in a zero for the assignment (see syllabus for definitions and consequences of plagiarism).
8. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font, double spaced. Insert page numbers, preferably on the bottom right of the page. Do not right justify.
9. Proofread carefully for typos of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and awkward or unclear sentences. These are common errors of haste that can make reading your work difficult and will affect your grade. Use complete sentences. Proofread your work several times carefully. Omit needless words. (This webpage is an invaluable source of good writing style; reading or at least consulting it will be of great benefit to you.)
10. It will be assumed that you have read and understood the course text Writing Philosophy by Lewis Vaughn. Follow the guidelines provided in this book in writing your paper, as well as the ten criteria from the Paper Rubric on Moodle.
11. Format your paper according to Appendix A of the Vaughn book, (though do not use a title page) and document according to Appendix B. Other methods of citing sources are acceptable, though consult instructor to be sure.

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.
The owner has asked you to do the following:
Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.
Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.
Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation

Due Week 9 and worth 300 points
You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Chetum, and Howe. John, a former researcher at PharmaCARE, comes to your office. He has concerns about PharmaCARE’s use of AD23, one of the company’s top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago, after PharmaCARE’s research indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) scrutiny, PharmaCARE established a wholly-owned subsidiary, CompCARE, to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription basis. CompCARE established itself in a suburban office park near its parent’s headquarters. To conserve money and time, CompCARE did a quick, low-cost renovation.
CompCARE benefited from PharmaCARE’s reputation, databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise, and within six (6) months had the medical community buzzing about AD23. Demand soared, particularly among Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the opportunity to realize even more profit, CompCARE began advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals, clinics, and physician offices, even though compounding pharmacies are not permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this technicality, CompCARE encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to CompCARE. PharmaCARE sold CompCARE to WellCo, a large drugstore chain, just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.
As CompCARE and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and PharmaCARE’s stock price approached $300 per share, reports started surfacing that people who received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling large orders and paying huge bonuses to all the executives and managers, including John, whose wife recently died from a heart attack after using AD23.
John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23, and information describing the company’s willingness “roll the dice” and continue to market the drug.
Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.
In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within the past two (2) years.
Write an eight (8) page paper in which you:
Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulation of product safety and examine whether PharmaCARE violated any of the issues in question.
Argue for or against Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing by drug companies. Provide support for your response.
Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme, the actions that either these parties or the FDA could / should have taken in this scenario, and whether PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices. Support your response.
Analyze the manner in which PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true “inventor” of AD23. Suggest at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property.
Summarize at least one (1) current example (within the past two [2] years) of intellectual property theft, and examine the effect on that company’s brand.
Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of John’s wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23.
Specify both the major arguments that John can make to claim that he is a whistleblower and the type of protections that he should be afforded. Justify your response.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
