Unit VI Letter of Grievance
According to the Wade & Tavris (2011), obesity is an increasing epidemic in our society today. Due to this obsession, more and more individuals are embracing desperate measures to avoid becoming fat. The obsession with weight often leads to major eating disorders. This is a major concern for you if you are a parent. Write a letter of grievance based on the following scenario.
Your child comes home one afternoon and excitedly describes the pizza and fries that she enjoyed during lunch. You are outraged that the local elementary school is still serving high-fat breakfasts and lunches despite the healthy food initiatives championed by the government. Use the information found in your textbook, as well as the CSU Online Library, to draft a two-page letter to the school superintendent addressing your concerns.
In your letter, be sure to address the research in regards to genetics, environmental factors, and potential eating disorders that are related to obesity. Also, include in your letter the various emotions that you are experiencing based on your frustration with the local school district, and its negligence to comply with national standards for healthy eating habits. Be sure to tell the superintendent about your daughter’s recent emotional outbursts when shopping for clothes. (Recently she shared that other girls tease her because she cannot fit into her skinny jeans any longer due to her “fat stomach.”)
Do not forget to include a reference list for your letter. You must use your textbook and one additional source in your letter. (Your reference page is not included in your page count.) All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and quoted material must have citations as well. Be creative in your response.

Unit V Research Presentation
Most individuals are very confident in the accuracy of their memories. Many witnesses argue that they can recall events without missing one detail. However, research purports that our memories are not as reliable as they might seem. These malleable memories can be influenced by leading questions and creative imaginations.
Go to the Academic OneFile database in the CSU Online Library, and search for the following article by Elizabeth Loftus (2004) on memories:
Loftus, E. (2003). Our changeable memories: Legal and social implications. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 4, 231-234. Retrieved from Academic OneFile database.
Read the article, and create a PowerPoint slide presentation to share your findings.
Note: Present your research using the article as well as the scientific theories covered in this unit. Please integrate your personal opinion on this topic as well.
Your slide presentation should contain a minimum of eight slides. Do not limit your information strictly to the article by Loftus and the textbook. You may use additional sources as well. Be creative in your presentation. Do not forget to include a title slide and citation slide. These slides are not counted in your total slide count. All sources used, including the textbook and article, must be referenced. Paraphrased and quoted material must have citations as well. For information on the grading policies of projects, such as this PowerPoint assignment, refer to the CSU Grading Rubric.

In the business world today, we must have a firm grasp on the underlying concepts of contract formation to ensure that we make the best deal possible for our company and perform all of our obligations as necessary. As you discovered last week, contractual claims are going to be one of the common claims that arise on a regular basis in many businesses.

The next primer you will prepare for your department’s training series will give your colleagues additional information on some advanced contractual principles beyond formation. Prepare a 2–3-page, double-spaced document explaining how and why fraud invalidates a contract. Include in your treatment of this subject examples of undue influence and duress that can arise in the business context. Finally, you should describe some of the different types of damages and equitable remedies available in contract cases, and explain the common law doctrine of election of remedies from a business contract standpoint, using examples that might arise in your company’s day-to-day operations.

We are given a case study and we are required to prepare a business report including the following:

1) Project purpose
2) Full & detailed scope statement
3) Provide a framework (gantt chart using Microsoft Project)
4) Fully explained work/product breakdown structure
5) Project resources and make-or-buy decisions
6) Project risk analysis and mitigation
7) Appendices
