Joan and Ron bought and paid for six dining room chairs from Hills Interiors (Hills). Joan and Ron drove their car to the Hills warehouse loading dock behind the store to load the chairs into their car. The loading dock attendant was helping another customer load furniture when Joan and Ron arrived at the dock. Joan and Ron waited about ten minutes, then told the dock attendant they would load the chairs themselves. The six chairs were sitting on the dock in plain sight so the attendant agreed. As soon as he was free, the attendant quickly came to help Joan and Ron load the last of the six chairs into their car.

When Joan and Ron unloaded the chairs at their home, the leg on one of the chairs was broken in transit. Joan and Ron returned to Hills with the damaged chair and requested that Hills replace it. They admitted the chair was not damaged when it was sitting on the dock before being loaded into their car. They further claimed that because the dock attendant was unavailable to load the chairs when they arrived at the dock, Hills should be responsible for the damaged chair. Joan and Ron stated they were not professional furniture handlers and should not have had to load the chairs themselves or be responsible for any damage.

Should Hills legally be responsible for the damage to the chair? Why or why not?

If you were the Hills warehouse manager, how would you handle this situation, and what would be your legal justification?

Parent Presentation

Without a doubt, in your role as a child development professional, you will be working with children, their families, and the community. Throughout this learning week, we have focused on different types of family structures and strategies for engaging with those unique family structures to support a child’s learning and development. Now, we want to take that idea and expand it to working with families and the community in general. Imagine you have been contacted by a school to put together a presentation for the next Parent Teacher Organization. They have asked for your presentation to focus on two main ideas: how to create and sustain partnerships with families and the community and how these partnerships influence the learning and development of children.

Step One: Choose one of the schools below to use as the basis for your presentation:

Step Two: Now that you know the audience for your presentation, you may choose to create a Prezi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or a PowerPoint. If you need help with creating your Prezi, watch this video tutorial (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Whichever format you choose, your presentation must contain the following information:

1. At least one slide that describes the period of development this presentation focuses on.
2. At least one slide that explains your role as a child development professional.
3. At least one slide with a rationale for your presentation that is supported by either the text or an additional scholarly source. Make sure that you properly format your in-text citations according to APA style.
4. At least one slide that explains the Mesosystem from Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological System for parents to understand how families, schools, and the community are connected.
5. At least one slide that introduces Epstein’s Types of Involvement.
6. At least one slide for each of Epstein’s Types of Involvement that describes:

• The name of the type of involvement.
• How this type of involvement influences a child’s learning and development.
• One idea the school or community could implement right away that aligns with the cultures represented at the school.

1. At least five graphics that enhance visual appeal.

If you used Prezi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to create your Parent Presentation, you will need to submit a Word document that contains a working link to the Prezi that you created through the Dropbox or Assignment Submission box if in Waypoint. If you created your Parent Presentation as a PowerPoint, you will need to submit it to your instructor through the Dropbox or through the Assignment Submission box if in Waypoint. Your presentation should be supported by the text and at least two additional scholarly sources. Make sure that you properly format both your in-text citations and reference list according to APA style.

Issue indivisibility is an issue that something cannot be properly divided and if bargaining cannot be made effectively then there is a probability for war. States also have the ability to make side payments in order to resolve the indivisibility and thus avoid conflict or war. In Fearon’s text, he brings up good points as to why the rationalist arguments for dismissing the causes of war due to issue indivisibility. Arguments that he brings up such as, “(1) anarchy; (2) expected benefits greater than expected costs; (3) rational preventive war; (4) rational miscalculation due to lack of information; and (5) rational miscalculation or disagreement about relative power. I argue that the first three arguments simply do not address the question of what prevents state leaders from bargaining to a settlement that would avoid the costs of fighting. The fourth and fifth arguments do address the question, holding that rational leaders may miss a superior negotiated settlement when lack of information leads them to miscalculate relative power or resolve” (Fearson 1995). In summary Fearson is correct in his thoughts and ideas due to the common sense that there are many steps before wars are declared, a compromise or a method of conducting rational and peaceful engagements with world leaders should prevent war. It is true in his text that people are not rational for the most part and that their ways of thinking neglects the costs of war that affects its people and military personnel. There is always an alternative approach if individuals try to focus towards that option.

Examples like how the cold war began and lasted for decades, it was both sides that are bipolar like systems that did not work rationally together and basically much of each other’s money and time was lost in terms of their potential in becoming better partners. Another example that may be used is are leaders of a nation, like the North Korean President that is constantly rocking the boat in the international community that is cause irrational thinking at a individual level.

In his work, Fearon asserts that issue indivisibility seems “empirically implausible” due to the fact that “most issues states negotiate over are quite complex”, meaning they “have many dimensions of concern and allow many possible settlements” (1995, 389). An example he gives of this would be states paying “each other sums of money or goods” or making “linkages with other issues” which would transform any indivisible issue in dispute “perfectly divisible” (389). While in theory, Fearon’s stance makes sense, he does not cover every single reason which a nation might rationally consider indivisible in his explanation.

One example of issue indivisibility overlooked by Fearon is the effects of domestic politics and public opinion on foreign policy. Levy mentions the Spanish-American War and how President William McKinley “led his country unhesitatingly toward a war which he did not want for a cause in which he did not believe” (1988, 664). No, this was not an issue these two nations debated over and found that they could not find a reasonable compromise in order to avoid war. Instead this was more of an indivisible issue for America that became an issue for Spain when it caused a war. President McKinley was forced by the public into taking action because this was an issue the American public found indivisible. A war was demanded by the people and there was no reasonable alternative so President McKinley made the rational decision to go to war in order to do what was demanded by the people he served.

A second example of issue indivisibility would be leadership of a state. Fearon mentions this in passing when discussing which prince would sit on the throne, but this is an indivisible issue we have seen very recently. The U.S. invasion of Iraq was prompted by the indivisible issue of Saddam Hussein as the leader of Iraq. This was unacceptable for the U.S. and not being leader was unacceptable for Saddam Hussein. This was an issue that the two nations were not going to be able to compromise on any other way. Of course, there were other issues and explanations for this conflict like the WMDs, the terror act of 9/11, and previous issues with Saddam, but ultimately the issue that led to the invasion of Iraq was an uncompromising goal of removing Saddam from power.

While Fearon does explain that “[i]ssue indivisibility could in principle make war rational for the obvious reason that if the issue allows only a finite number of resolutions, it might be that none falls within the range that both prefer to fighting”, his alternate explanations prove that this is not a statement he believes to be true (1995, 382).
