    Issue: Does Danimark have a legal duty or an ethical obligation to disclose Nelipern's role in the selection process to potential investors? Is it enough if Danimark's marketing materials to potential investors disclose that Nelipern helped select the portfolio, or should Danimark also disclose Nelipern's adverse interests in the performance of the portfolio? Is this situation any different from a transaction in which an investment bank sells stock belonging to one client to another client? Further consider I-Analytics, International. If I-Analytics uses its own methods and approves the CCBS in the portfolio, how, if at all, should that affect Karol's analysis? Should it matter whether the offering circular states that I-Analytics selected the portfolio? Should it matter that Danimark plans to buy the securities for its own firm account? Discuss.…

    The government could have placed tighter constraints on the credit market; the government agencies charged with managing banking policies and procedures could’ve formulated a policy that would require that banks were only able to hedge a certain amount of liability as long as they had enough capital to cover double the amount of the liability. The government could also have placed more stringent regulations on banks and related financial institutions to provide proof that the potential buyers of homes could fiscally make the required home/mortgage payments in lieu of the poor economy. This could have been accomplished by verifying their credit score, annual salary, and reviewing 6-12 months of the potential homeowner’s financial statements to ensure their candidacy and responsibility. Another regulation that could have averted the 2008 credit disaster would be requiring all potential home buyers to take a financial course that included content covering how to read legal contracts” or something similar. Yes, this additional step would prolong the home buying process but in the long run it would potentially weed out the vast majority of homeowners that would likely default on their mortgages.…

    An environmental law that is relevant to my current and future employer, which is myself since I am self-employed, is the Clean Air Act (CAA). As a fitness professional I conduct personal training, small group training and outdoor fitness boot camp classes during nearly ¾ of any given year. Obviously I cannot predict air pollution in the same way EPA experts can but I do have firsthand experience of conducting these various fitness activities outdoors in cities where air pollution was considerably higher than other metropolitan areas in the country, and how participants fared. By relating my fitness business to environmental air pollution may seem like a stretch but please consider that I taught outdoor classes in New York City just weeks following the September 11th attacks. The air was rancid, smelled like a demolition site (which I am very familiar with having grown-up with a father who ran a demolition company), and the mixture of fumes and unrecognizable stench, made commuting in the area difficult, let alone participation in high-level cardiovascular exercises. “The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for wide-spread pollutants from numerous and diverse sources considered harmful to public health and the environment. The Clean Air Act established two types of national air quality standards. Primary standards set limits to protect public health, including the health of at-risk populations such as people with pre-existing heart or lung disease (such as asthmatics), children, and older adults. Secondary standards set limits to protect public welfare, including protection against visibility impairment, damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. The Clean Air Act requires periodic review of the science upon which the standards are based and the standards themselves” (EPA, 2013). Obviously air standards were not top priority during the initial weeks…

    Our text defines self-esteem as “a belief about how a person evaluates his or her self-worth as part of an overall self-evaluation” (Baack, 2012), whereas self-efficacy is the “extent to which people believe they can perform a behavior to produce a particular desired outcome” (Lu, Chang & Lai, 2011). Self-esteem and self-efficacy are interrelated; using this graduate degree from Ashford as an example – having successfully completed an undergraduate degree with honors at Ashford provides me with the high self-efficacy that I can also complete a graduate degree. Similarly, completing courses with good grades boosts self-esteem by reinforcing a positive self-image. On the contrary, if a person failed to achieve a goal, like graduating from college, their self-esteem would be low(er) and their self-efficacy about higher education would also be low. An external forces that can impact self-efficacy are persuasion and encouragement. These forces can come from peers, colleagues, family, or romantic partners (Baack, 2012), and help to strengthen a person’s innate belief in themselves, which can translate into successes in other areas of their life.…
