GM520ONO Legal, Political and Ethical Dimensions. Week 5 Midterm. 1. TCO B. Infuriated when Harry Reid is re-elected during the 2010 fall election, the Republican National Committee decides to take matters into its own hands. In 2011, the House of Representatives passes a new "Freedom isn't Free Act" that requires that anyone who wants to vote in the 2012 presidential election must prove that they paid at least $200 in federal income tax in the past year, including people aged 18 (who typically are deducted on their parents' returns and do not pay income tax). Anyone who received the "earned income credit" is barred from voting unless they return the payment from the government. Proof of payment of the tax can be made by showing a copy …show more content…
As he prepared to jump into the water to tube, David's feet slipped out from under him, and he fell into the water, hitting the back of his head and neck on the ladder, knocking him out cold. He slipped under the water and drowned. The other members of the party didn't notice his absence until a passing barge pilot got their attention. He had seen the entire thing through his binoculars; he had been watching Melissa and her friend Angela (who were in bathing suits). Despite an immediate search and rescue attempt by the coast guard, David was not saved. Melissa alleged that the surface of the boat floor where David was standing and preparing to jump into the water was unreasonably slippery. In fact, at issue in the case was the manufacturing process used in coating the flooring. Melissa (and her attorney) felt that a nonslip surface should have been placed on the floor of the boat. The safety manual that came with the boat included these clauses: "CAUTION: Wet surfaces can be slippery. Passengers should wear adequate deck shoes while boarding and underway to avoid accidental slipping and injury." "CAUTION: Deck areas and swim platform are slippery when wet. Passengers must be careful when passing through companionway to prevent accidental slipping or tripping. Passengers should wear adequate deck shoes at all times to prevent accidental slipping. Passengers
Offer- This is defined as a clear manifestation of willingness to enter an agreement made by another person with full understanding that their assent to the bargain is an invitation and is concluded.
One way is called a beach start and the first thing a person should do to perform this type of start would be to strap themselves to the board. The boat drives away from the beach you hold onto the rope you’re your knee boarding. The second way is the most used and I call it a deep water start. The deep water start begins with me laying on the kneeboard with the strap to my side and holding the rope out at the edge of the board. As the boat starts to pick up speed the kneeboard begins to lift up higher out the water. This happens because the tilt of the board pushes on the water causing the water to push back which gives the board its lift. While the boat is still speeding up I begin my move up the board by pulling my knees up toward my chest. As I am pulling up my knees, I slowly start to lean back on the board. This is to keep the right amount of lift while I am still getting up to speed. Now that I have my knees in the knee slots I grab the strap and secure myself to the board so I don’t fall off. Once I am settled in on the board and have the boat running about 25 mph the kneeboard and I have no problem with balance. Because of my new speed I can knee on the board and not worry about fall over. The reason behind this is simple, speed, without moving across the water kneeing down on the board was nearly impossible. Now that I am traveling across the water I have the lift from the water and a small amount of drag. In

As you are making your way out, you may encounter some large waves. These waves occasionally seem impossible to get around, but there is a way to dodge them. As you see a wave coming, wrap your arms tightly around the board, then flip you and your board over, therefore placing you underwater and your board turned upside down. Because the nose of the board is now pointed downward, the wave will smoothly bypass over you. When you see the wave disappear, you can then flip back over! It is also tricky knowing where to stop paddling and when to start waiting. You don't want to be too close to the shore, yet you don't want to be too far either! Positions change daily, and there are multiple ways on figuring out where to position yourself. One is to know where the current is the strongest and how far apart the waves are from one another. For now, follow other present surfers or ask a lifeguard.
