To refresh your memory of the Ann C. Dorite case, review her interview and your summary of her interview from module 02. For this assignment you just came out of a meeting with the partners of your firm, Susan & Winem. The meeting was short, but its contents were recorded by the partner’s secretary, Betsy M. Akurate, and she states that she will transcribe the meeting and provide a verbatim transcript.

The firm’s partner, Rich N. Moore, asks you to stay after the meeting. He then asks you to write an internal memorandum with two parts. He specifically states that he wants you to submit the memorandum in one Word document to him and he will circulate to the other attorneys.

The first part of the internal memorandum, Mr. Moore tells you, should be a summary of the meeting you just attended. He says Ms. Akurate will email you the transcript of the meeting.

For the second part of the internal memorandum Mr. Moore wants you to read statutes and cases for Ms. Dortie’s case. He is concerned that since the client was walking in the street the city had no legal duty to maintain the streets in a reasonably safe condition.

Partner Moore tells you that the memorandum (i) should be no more than 4 pages as he has no time to read more than 4 pages; (ii) should only discuss the case authority he will give you; (iii) should update the cases and provide him with the citation to the most recent Illinois case on the subject of pedestrian use of roadways with a 1-2 sentence statement of what the rule of law in the case; (iv) should frame the issue in the second half of the memorandum for the Dorite case using the 123 Method; and (v) should provide a list of points and authorities at the end of your memorandum.

Partner Moore’s secretary, Ms. Akurate, then sends you a memo with the following information:

Read as background and include in your list of points and authorities but not discuss in your memoranda the following statutes:
a. 745 ILCS 10/3-102 (2015);
b. 740 ILCS 130/2 (2015);
Read and discuss only the following cases:
Curatola v. Niles, 154 Ill.2d 201, 608 N.E.2d 882 (1993);
Gutstein v. City of Evanston, 402 Ill. App.3d, 929 N.E.2d 680 (App.Ct. 2010); and
Vaugh v. City of W. Frankfort, 166 Ill.2d 155, 651 N.E.2d 1115 (1995)

The memo concluded by saying if you had any questions or wanted to clarify the directions you should contact Mr. Moore’s partner Dan Walker by email as Mr. Moore will be out of town for the next week. She also reminded you attorney Moore likes a table of points and authorities at the end of the memo so he can put in the file for quick reference.

For question 1, I need it today in 3 hours. For the rest of the question i need it by saturday. Please pay attention with question 2 there 3 questions that needs to be answered- question A,B and C.

1.) Pick 2 characteristics or traits and use Freud’s psychosexual stages, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and Social Learning theory to explain how an individual develops these traits.Make sure you use all three theories to explain, not just one.

2.)Write a one paragraph (7-10 sentences) claim of definition on one of the topic presented in the RESPOND box on page 188 of Everything’s an Argument.

RESPOND BOX TOPIC: College sports programs have become a big businesses.

2) Please answer the discussion question with each reading. Answer for each discussion must be 7-10 sentences using one cited quote from the text, Acting Out Culture, for support.

A) No Myths Here:Food Stamps, Food Deserts, and Food Scarcity ( by Erika Nicole Kendall)

Discussion question: How do you respond to Kendall’s use of term “myth” here? What does this term mean to you? Can you think of specific myth that fits your definition? Cited qoute for support: ” She invested a lot of time and effort into me.” (Kendall, 210)

B) Food’s Class Warfare (Tracie Macmillan)

Discussion question: We make mistake, McMillan argues, when we assume that Americans’ eating habits are solely the result of individual choice. Do you agree? Is there another explanation for these trends that makes more sense to you? Cited qoute for support: We can give people all of the information and advice in the world about healthy eating and exercise.” (McMillan, 216)

C) The Obesity-Hunger Paradox ( Sam Dolnick)

Discussion question: While we tend to think of obesity as evidence of excess or overindulgence, notes Dolnick, the truth is that obesity is much more often caused by poverty. How does this fact change your assumptions about eating, weight, and health? Cited qiute for support: ” Hunger is certainly almost an exclusive symptom of poverty. And extra obesity is one of the symptoms of poverty”

3) Respond to #4 on page 229. You must identify the picture selection title and page in your initial post.

#4: First, focus on how eating is being represented in one of the images you’ve just reviewed. What stands out? What seems most important or noteworthy? And what, by contrast, seems noticeably absent? Then, analyze the ways you think this image uses its dining portrait to define the typical or ideal American family. What behaviors and attitudes does it seem to present as normal? And what values, beliefs, or ideas does this portrait seem to endorse right?

*****I WILL SEND THE PICTURE SELECTION FOR #3 QUESTION*********

LESSON 4

ACTIVITY 1. TABOO

What does Taboo have to do with math though? Taboo deals with a branch of mathematics called “set theory.” To explore this, sit down with your team and spread out all of the cards so that everyone can see and reach everything. Take a few minutes to sort the cards into whatever different groups you feel are appropriate. (See the job aid for more directions and Taboo cards)

Once you are finished, share your groupings with the other team(s) and see what they came up with. Be prepared to defend your decisions!

ACTIVITY 2. COMMON NOTATIONS AND SYMBOLS

Let’s assume that we have two sets called A and B. They are like two “boxes” that contain the following things:

A = {b, o, x} B = {c, o, n, t, a, i, e, r}

Since these are filled with letters, let’s say that they exist in the universe of the alphabet:

U = {a, b, c,…, y, z}

Use these three sets as a reference while going through the chart in the job aid.

ACTIVITY 3. VENN DIAGRAM DESIGN

Sets aren’t just good for organizing objects. They are also an excellent means of representing data that have shared characteristics. Take one of the longest-running feuds of the 20thCentury:

Coca Cola vs. Pepsi

Go to the job aid for details of this activity.

ACTIVITY 4. CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

PROJECT: HOW ARE SETS UTILIZED WITHIN THE GAME?

When you consider “sets” as a collection of objects or information, it turns out that most games have some type of set elements (some more than others)! How does your game utilize sets? Specifically:

• What sets are present in your game?
• What are the elements of those sets?
• Are there elements in the unions and intersections of these sets?
• Can an understanding of these sets help a player develop a winning strategy?
