What About the Contract?
What About the Contract?
Maynard, 18, was shopping for his first car. With a mere $4,000, he was hoping for a deal. He found a used convertible 1979 Mustang at Pierre’s Awesome Car Place for $5,000. Pierre claimed that the Mustang was “one of a kind” and “the best car in town.” He said “the engine and brakes are in tip-top shape.” Pierre even promised to bring the price down to $4,000, if Maynard agreed to buy it that very day.
Maynard immediately signed an agreement that contained an “as-is” clause and drove off in the car. Two days later, the brakes failed while driving and Maynard crashed into a tree. The front of the car was damaged and Maynard sustained mild injuries. Infuriated, Maynard immediately towed the vehicle back to Pierre’s and confronted him. Pierre shrugged it off, saying, “Too bad, bad brakes or not, you agreed to the “as-is” clause in the contract!”
Now Maynard does not know what to do. He has lost two weeks of work pay due to the injury, a damaged car that cost him $4,000, and physical pain and mental trauma. To make things worse, Maynard discovered the car’s fair market value was actually only $1,500 at the time of the purchase.
Research contract concepts related to formation and defenses to enforcement using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and your research, respond to the following questions:
Was a valid contract formed between Pierre’s and Maynard? Explain.
If a valid contract was formed, does Maynard have any arguments to have his money refunded?
What are Maynard’s rights under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) with respect to the “as-is” agreement he signed?
What damages, if any, can Maynard sue Pierre’s for?
Discuss any ethical issues concerning Pierre’s behavior.

briefly describe a research topic related to sociology that you think would make an interesting study.
Method of Study Sociology 61 100-
Now that we have familiarized ourselves with the basic theories and methods of sociology; I would like for us to use this discussion postings in a way that allows us to begin applying these concepts and interact a bit.
Step One Postings:
In this posting I would like for each of you to briefly describe a research topic related to
sociology that you think would make an interesting study. In describing your study, you should
indicate: a) which one of the three perspectives you would use, and b) some kind of cause and
effect relationship between a specific Independent and Dependent variable.
Here is an example from a real study that I am currently starting to set up.
I have an interest in studying adolescent delinquency using the symbolic interaction perspective.
Specifically, I would like to know more about the learning process that kids go through between
8th grade and 12th grade in relation to substance use. I think it would be very interesting if this
study would examine the effect of the school environment (independent variable) on illegal
substance use (dependent variable). Specifically, I would like to see if parties at different
schools have mixed-age attendance (both high school and junior high) and if the high school
students allow or encouraged participation in alcohol consumption of younger students.
Step Two Responses:
After you have posted your own study proposal, then respond to at least one other posting. In
your reply: a) check to verify that the original post is using Independent and Dependent
Correctly, b) suggest one appropriate method of data collection from the four main research
designs, and c) suggest at least one control variable that the study would want to factor into the
study.
For the example above the reply could read: That is a very interesting study. The Independent
and Dependent variables are correct. One way that a researcher could study this topic would be
to use a survey and ask both Junior and Senior high school students about parties at their school.
One factor that you may need to control for is if the school has both high school and middle
school in the same building or not. This could also bring both age groups in contact with each
other as well.

2. There’s one consistent finding across racial/ethnic families, in different regions of the country, with diverse family structures, and across social classes: Parents are nearly unanimous in feeling responsible for their children’s sex education and wanting their children to have a family with a loving and committed partner. What are some reasons why many parents don’t talk to their children about sex? What other socializing agents teach lessons about sex in society? In your response, address the topic of sex education in school as well.
