What are the key legal factors present in the scenario?

In 1999, a Seattle man took a popular soft-drink company seriously when one of its commercials made an offer of a Harrier jet, the famous high-tech jump jet used by the U.S. Marines. In a television commercial that aired in 1995, the company jokingly included the Harrier as one of the prizes that could be received with a mere 7 million company points. Although that sounds like a lot of points to get from drinking the soft drink company’s products (roughly 190 drinks a day for 100 years), the company also allowed customers to purchase points for 10 cents each.The man did the math and discovered that the cost of the 7 million points needed for the jet was $700,000. He then put together a business plan, raised the $700,000 from friends and family, and submitted 15 points, the check, and an official order form with a demand for the Harrier jet.The company wrote back, stating that the Harrier jet in the commercial was simply used to create a humorous and entertaining advertisement. They apologized for any misunderstanding or confusion people may have experienced and enclosed some free product coupons.The free coupons did not satisfy the man, who then took the soft drink company to court. Finally, a federal judge for the Southern District of New York held that the company was only joking when it implied in its ad that it was giving away fighter jets. The judge noted that because the jets sell for approximately $23 million, no one could have concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers a Harrier jet. Instead, this was a classic example of a deal that was too good to be true.Write a paper of 4–6 body pages that answers the following questions, including an in-depth explanation of the supporting rationale:What are the key legal factors present in the scenario?What are the 4 elements of a valid contract?

should list and explain 3–4 goals that a company in this situation should set for itself.

Deliverable Length: 10-15 PowerPoint slides (each slide should include 200-250 words each in the notes section)Based on your discussions with Michelle, you have developed a clear picture of the environmental issues that will affect the initial release of the new product. As you compile your notes, the phone rings. “Hello?” “Hi. This is Michelle. I want to touch base with you about your presentation to the board next week. Do you have any questions about the upcoming meeting?” “Thanks for calling,” you say. “You have good timing. I was just reviewing my notes and working on my PowerPoint presentation. I think I’ve covered the areas we discussed at our last meeting. Do you have something else that you want me to include?” “Oh, good,” says Michelle. “Yes, I’d like you to share 3 or 4 goals for the marketing project, too. Make sure these goals are specific as possible. You might want to lead with the goals, but I’ll leave that up to you. Naturally you’ll need to do some research to determine the types of goals that are relevant for a new product project like this. Be as specific as you can when outlining realistic expectations. “Okay,” you say as you jot down more notes. “Anything else?” “Just be sure to include your thoughts about whether we should develop a product that can be marketed world-wide. You know that is one of their main concerns. You’ll have about 30 minutes for your presentation. ” “Will do. Thanks for the information. I think about 10–15 slides should be about right for a 30-minute presentation.” The students should list and explain 3–4 goals that a company in this situation should set for itself. The explanations should be 2–3 sentences each, and they should include citations from the text and other sources. Each goal should be as specific as possible; for example, the goals might include—among other things—the following items: Sales in dollars or units Market share Customer awareness Profit Return on investment Customer satisfaction

Do you believe that Americans have been answering this call to service to strengthen the foundations of our country?

For this first week’s discussion, let’s look back at the call to service and commitment in president inaugural speeches. President John F. Kennedy: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” George H. W. Bush: “And I am speaking of a new engagement in the lives of others, a new activism, hands-on and involved, that gets the job done. We must bring in the generations, harnessing the unused talent of the elderly and the unfocused energy of the young. For not only leadership is passed from generation to generation but so is stewardship.” George W. Bush: “We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment; it is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.” President Barack Obama: “What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character than giving our all to a difficult task.” Then check out the “Bowling Alone” web site at: http://www.bowlingalone.com/, especially the “Social Capital Primer” tab and the Saguaro Seminar on Civic Engagement in America: https://www.hks.harvard.edu/programs/saguaro/. Reflect on what the author, Robert Putnam, is saying about the state of our social capital in the United States. Social capital, according to Putnam, is a key component to building and maintaining democracy. A weakened state of social capital means less trust in government and thus a weakened civil society, as a whole. Putnam’s argument is simply that we no longer bowl in leagues like we did decades ago; we bowl alone. We no longer get together with others to build community – and this has a direct translation, for Putnam, into a decline in participation, discussion, and therefore trust in our democracy. Now, with what you have learned about the state of social capital in the United States, what do you think about the call to service to all Americans and the remarks made by presidents about the responsibility we all share? Do you believe that Americans have been answering this call to service to strengthen the foundations of our country? Do you believe that our social capital has indeed been weakened over the past few decades, as Putnam claims? Reflect on the societal organizations/groups you belong to, volunteer for, and what you see of other people volunteering and belonging to groups. Consider the communities you live in. Are we “Bowling Alone” instead of in groups as in decades past? Liz
