Touchstone: Did Jim and Laura Buy a Car?
SCENARIO: Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.
Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.
The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan Salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.
Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.
Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.
ASSIGNMENT: In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented and the material covered in the lessons. In your paper, be sure to address the following:

Title: Exploring the Use of Drugs, Acupuncture, and Altered States of Consciousness: A Philosophical Perspective
1.What is a drug ?
2.Do you think that Jeremy Bentham’s conception of people being ruled by ‘two masters,’ pain and pleasure, is enough to explain why people use drugs? Why or why not? (explaining drug behavior)
3.Acupuncture is an ancient form of treating disease via needles. In China, acupuncture is a way of fixing illness by manipulating ‘chi’ (or ‘qi’) energy: vital energy, or the ‘life force.’ Chi energy is related to the centuries old Taoist philosophy: that the universe was originally created out of chaos, but split into two opposing forces: yin, and yang; elemental forces such as light/dark, male/female, present in all things and mutually dependent upon one another. In the Chinese system of health, the challenge is in maintaining the balance between yin and yang, thereby preventing illness.
No one understands how chi energy works, and the ways by which the Chinese go about manipulating Chi energy bears no resemblance to nerve charts such as we have in the West. The Chinese method of healing involves, therefore, a different geography of the body than Westerners are accustomed to.
That said, acupuncture has also become a popular alternative therapy here in the West, and acupuncture is even covered under some health insurance plans.
But do you think that it is necessary to understand the underlying philosophy of Chinese medicine for acupuncture to ‘work’?
Please watch the documentary The Mystery of Chi, by Bill Moyers.
How do you see ‘set’ and ‘setting’ playing a part in the success of such a therapy?
Have you, or someone you know, ever explored an alternative health therapy — and do you think that mindset had an important role to play in the success of the treatment?
4.Do you believe that Weil’s contention in The Natural Mind by Andrew Weil– that is is ‘natural’ for us to want to alter our consciousness — is true or not? Please elaborate on your response, utilizing material from Weil to support your argument. (Please respond to this question after you have read the first few chapters in Weil’s book!) -

“Chapter Precis Assignment: Summarizing and Synthesizing Textbook Material”
Text: Steinberg, Laurence. 2023. Adolescence.
13th Ed. McGraw Hill.
Second, students will turn in a précis (pronounced pray-see)
for each textbook chapter covered in the syllabus. A précis is a summary
of an article, chapter, or other written work. For this class, a précis
is a summary of a textbook chapter. You can format your précis in a
couple of different ways; 1) a narrative outline, in which you structure the
précis as an outline, but include narrative explanation of important points; or
2) a narrative summary, in which you format the précis in paragraphs explaining
the important points. Either format is fine.
I think the
easiest way to complete the précis is to read through the chapter and when you
come to an important point, highlight it (there will be many important
points). When you have finished reading the chapter, go back and type up
the things you highlighted in whatever format you choose, with narrative in
your own words. A thorough précis will be at least 3 full pages, double-spaced,
and will usually be longer.
Precis are not
meant to torture students. The purpose of a precis is to help you summarize and
synthesize course material. Think of a precis as a study guide for the chapter.
Imagine that you have an exam coming up that allows whatever notes you want to
bring. The precis should be those notes. -
Title: “A Visual Journey through Two Masterpieces: Comparing and Contrasting Works of Art from Different Chapters”
Choose two paintings, sculptures, or works of architecture (buildings, bridges, etc.) from the chapters listed above. Both works of art may be from the same chapter, or you may choose works from different chapters. Likewise, both works of art may be of the same type, such as two paintings, or you may choose different types of works.
Tell us the following about each work of art.
What do you see? Tell us about the image, colors, materials, and size of the work of art. Imagine you are explaining it to someone who can’t see it. Provide a word picture. Look at it really closely for details that the casual viewer might miss.
How does this particular work of art compare to others in the same chapter or elsewhere in the book? If there are other works by the same artist in the book, what is unique about this particular work of art?
Wonder and awe. What makes this work of art amazing? What does it make you think about? What unanswered questions do you have?
Create a 4- to 5-minute narrated slide show, consisting of between four to five slides. A possible organization idea is the title slide, two to three body slides, and a conclusion.
Don’t do any outside research for this presentation. Any insights from the textbook should be acknowledged in your narration. Example: “As was noted on page 93 of our textbook….”
Because the slide show will be narrated, very little text is needed for the slides. Aim for 20 words or fewer per slide. Instead, let the visual depictions of the works of art take center stage. -
