Due: After Unit 13 Length: 1200–1500 words Weight: 10% of final grade Format: Assignment files should be prepared using MS Word to allow your tutor to insert comments and feedback. If you do not have this software, contact your tutor to discuss whether other arrangements can be accommodated. Instructions: This assignment should be done after studying Units 12 and 13 and completing the quizzes for these units. Complete both case studies. Case Study A (50%): Marlie carries on a business of selling new and used lamps. In 2009, she obtained an operating line of credit from the Bank of Nova Scotia. Marlie gave the bank a security interest in all her present and future assets. Jordan is a dealer in imported chandeliers. He and Marlie agree that he will give her possession of a dozen chandeliers to sell on his behalf. Marlie is not obliged to pay for the chandeliers unless she keeps them for more than 30 days. Marlie goes into default on her loan. The bank seizes all of her inventory, including the 12 chandeliers. Jordan finds out about the seizure and demands the chandeliers, saying that they are his, but the bank disputes this. Is Jordan entitled to get the chandeliers back? Structure your answer following the Marking Rubric below. Marking Rubric Marking Criteria Mark 1. In relation to the contest between the bank and Jordan, identifies the legal question in relation to the chandeliers, which is raised by the scenario. /10 2. Identifies and explains the possible legal relationship between Jordan and Marlie that may benefit Jordan and why it would benefit him. /10 3. Identifies the factual elements, which must be proved to show the existence of the legal relationship referred to above. /10 4. Analyzes the scenario to see if the factual elements referred to above are present. /10 5. Comes to a conclusion concerning the strength of Jordan’s claim based on the analysis above. /10 Total /50 Case Study B (50%): Luke owns a lifeguard consulting company, supplying lifeguarding services to public and private schools in Edmonton. One of his female employees has made a complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission against Luke concerning gender discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace. The employee alleges that she and the other women lifeguards were recently forced to wear newly issued skimpy company bikinis instead of the previous one-piece suits while performing their lifeguarding duties. Those who refused would be given last choice on shifts (which, practically speaking, meant that they would be getting no shifts). The complainant protested to Luke but eventually gave in since it was too late in the summer to find another job. Additionally, the employee claims that, since the female staff was forced to wear the bikinis, Luke drops in constantly for site visits. His visits with females are more frequent and much longer lasting than with male staff. In fact, it is alleged that these visits have earned him the nickname of “Leering Luke.” Several female employees have told Luke that they find his behaviour unwelcome and are uncomfortable wearing the bikinis. Luke knows about his nickname but stands behind his policy. According to Luke, business has increased and, as a result, there has been more to “supervise” at each visit. Explain the concepts of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Identify facts in the scenario which may support the employee’s claim and consider what other unstated facts, if proved, might also provide support. Identify a defense that Luke may raise. State your conclusion whether the situation involved discrimination or harassment, referring to the relevant facts and the strength of the defense.

500 word response to the following questions. The paper should be written in the first-person voice. Be sure to write in full, complete sentences. You will be graded for content and quality of writing. Reflect on what you have learned in this lesson about diversity and marginalization and link it to either your personal life, or your future profession (child psychologist). Part 1: Your reaction Describe what you remember most from the lesson (what stood out the most) and where you felt most challenged. Part 2: Your decisions Describe how what you learned in this lecture will inform your personal life and/or your future profession. Lesson Material for your reference: Section One: What is Diversity and How Does it Impact Us? In the 1980s there was not one country that allowed same sex marriage. Most people where either ‘out’, and very political about being LGBT or, most, were in the ‘closet’. Same sex couples were not allowed to adopt children and most people thought of HIV/AIDS as the ‘gay disease’. Diversity and Marginalization: Thinking back to high school, your school might have had a poster with the word “Welcome” in many different languages. You are probably reminded of those days where you celebrated the diversity of your peers and you ate different ethnic foods and may have been introduced to traditional clothes and dances. That certainly is one side of diversity: the idea and belief that Canada is an accepting multicultural mosaic. However, that is only one side of the coin. In fact, there has been a long tradition of scholars and activists challenging the notion of diversity and multiculturalism. One such person is the York University scholar, Himani Bannerji. In her 2000 book, The Dark Side of the Nation: Essays on Multiculturalism, Nationalism and Gender, Bannerji identifies what she terms the ‘paradox of diversity’. Using the term/description “women of colour” as an example, she argues that the description creates a “vague and pleasant” description that replaces race with ‘colour’ and suggests alliance among women. Doesn’t “women of colour” sound much more pleasant than “gender and race”? By changing the way that something is described (recall multicultural / diversity attempts at your high school), Bannerji argues we erase the realities of race, racism, white privilege, and oppression. Her point is that using the terms such as ‘women of colour’ reflects ideologies of power relations by serving to regulate power. This other perspective on diversity suggests that human diversity is not about ‘getting along’ but that human diversity is part of historical and ideological oppression. On a sliding scale where diversity and multiculturalism are on the one end, and anti-oppression / anti-racism are on the other, it’s easy to imagine where Bannerji sits. To better understand white privilege, please read Peggy McIntosh’s (1988) excerpt about unpacking privilege (2 pages). As you read, take note of your thoughts and feelings. The reason why I wanted to include this discussion is because it is easy to think of human diversity as a vibrant celebration of colour, foods and diverse traditions rather than to dig a bit deeper and think about the systemic issues such as oppression and privilege that accompany human diversity. At this point, you are probably not surprised to hear that diversity in the context of community psychology is not so much about the ‘beauty of difference and getting along’ but about recognizing that “human diversity has multiple intersecting dimensions” and is “an important part of understanding differences and similarities between individuals and communities, but also variation within communities” (Kloos et al., 2012, pp. 7-8). According to Rappaport (1977), community psychology “is an attempt to support every person’s right to be different without risk of suffering material and psychological sanctions” (p. 1). This will often require the community psychologist to work toward providing socially marginal people with the resources, the power, and the control over their own lives, which is necessary for a society of diversity rather than conformity” (p. 23). Section Two: Power and Oppression Recall Himani Bannerji’s argument that ideologies of diversity and multiculturalism serve to strengthen existing power relations such as racism, oppression of others and white privilege. What do we mean when we refer to power and oppression? According to Kloos and colleagues (2012), “oppression occurs in a hierarchical relationship in which a dominant group unjustly holds power and resources and withholds them from another group” (p. 231). The Social Construction of Power: To make those concepts livelier, I’d like you to watch a very interesting video on the social construction of oppression. In this video, you will watch a third grade teacher simulate the social construction of discrimination by introducing a two-day exercise to her class where students were intentionally discriminated against based on the colour of their eyes. Oppression and Colonization: As you have seen in this lesson, there are many forms of oppression. It can be overt (obvious and intentional) and it can also be covert (unintentionally discriminating against an individual or group of individuals based on pre-conceived assumptions that we have—biases that often come from “single stories”). Another important concept to learn is “intersectionality”. Intersectionality refers to the interconnections between multiple socially constructed categorizations (e.g., race, gender, social class). Oppression of an individual or group with multiple intersecting personal identities becomes driven by multiple intersecting systems of discrimination and marginalization (Kloos et al., 2012). For example, examining the social mechanisms that drive violence against lesbian women of colour must consider the overlapping, complex nature of the various systems of oppression—rather than examining each factor separately. Oppression can also be systemic. For example, the colonization of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, families, and communities is a form of oppression that has persisted throughout the history of Canada and continues to exist today. So far in this course, you have learned a bit about some of the inequalities and discrimination faced by Aboriginal people in Canada. Now that you have also been introduced to different ways of understanding and honouring diversity, I would like for you to read a brief chapter (14 pages) written by a Mohawk woman , Patricia Monture-Angus, who worked as a legal scholar in several Canadian law schools. This chapter is a story of her experience as “a woman, an Indian, and an Indian woman” (note: intersectionality) attending an academic conference about oppression. She challenges language around “disadvantage” and speaks about her experiences as a “minority”. She teaches important lessons about diversity and oppression that I think is a good way to wrap up this lesson.

Choose Two Information should come from chapter 16-32 ONLY Link for the book : https://openstax(dot)org/details/books/us-history Each question is organized around a central theme, but also provides you with the freedom to answer it in a manner of your choosing. You get to decide what information to use AND to leave out). Regardless of the choices, you make regarding the content, you must include a well written, clear, and persuasive thesis statement that is supported by EXAMPLES, which are organized into separate distinct paragraphs. Your conclusion should act as a summation of your claim and major points. Key Terms are crucial events, persons, organizations, or ideas that exemplify an important trend or theme in American history. You can find key terms at the end of each chapter in your textbook. You must use a minimum of 7 Key Terms BOLD & UNDERLINED in each essay response AND include page numbers from the textbook using MLA or APA citations. Choose 2 Questions 1. Discuss how and why various groups of people with American society began to challenge and criticize the nation’s way of life. Were their criticisms valid? What were some of these groups, and how did they go about achieving them? What common goals did Latinos, American Indians, gay and lesbian citizens, African Americans, and women share in their quests for equal rights? How did their agendas differ? What were the differences and similarities in the tactics they used to achieve their aims? In other words, show change over time from the beginning of this course in 1865 until the 21st century. 2. Some historians have argues that the great increase in the size and power of the federal government since the Civil War is one of the dominant themes of American history. Trace the growth of the federal government since 1865, paying particular attention to its evolving involvement in world affairs and the domestic economy. Be sure to support your argument with relevant details. For example; To what extent did the Great Depression catalyze important changes in Americans’ perceptions of themselves, their national identity, and the role of their government? What evidence of these shifts can you find in the politics and values of our own time? Now include the Great Depression in your response but also think of other examples besides the Great Depression. 3. Some historians have referred to the modern Civil Rights movement as the Second Reconstruction. Do you think the comparison between the first era of reconstruction (post Civil War years to the early twentieth century) and the so-called second era of the reconstruction (the 1950s to the 1970s is accurate? Compare and contrast the attempts to create a safeguard for African American civil rights in these two periods. Your answer should consist of government policies, African American strategies, and white responses. 4. Twenty-five years from now an American history textbook will state: “In 1865 the United States was an underdeveloped nation in comparison to the nations of Western Europe. A century later, the United States was the most advanced nation in the world.” Based on your knowledge, discuss the major reasons for this remarkable change this textbook most likely will emphasize. In your essay, you may consider any mix of, war, economic, political, demographic, social, technological, and cultural factors you regard as important. Examples to consider; motion pictures, electricity, radio, weapons,

The prompt (topic) for the example essay is a product that says something about its purchaser. Students should convince the reader that the product illustrates the purchaser. Select a familiar topic. For example, an expensive sports car says something different about the purchaser than a compact, fuel-efficient car.
