    In conclusion, sales contracts are similar to common law contracts, but may also have distinct differences in terms of offer, acceptance, and consideration. The UCC was established to ease commerce amongst the states and has been adopted by all, at least in-part. The code protects buyers and sellers in Article 2, Sales, and provides laws to be followed in the absence of specific terms set forth in a sales contract. Merchants and non-merchants conducting sales transactions, and having knowledge of the UCC, place themselves at less risk, and in a better position to avoid…

    International trade is important and beneficial to business. However, international trade guides a safeguard of interests, specific business contract, defined law, forum of dispute settlement, and understanding of contract clauses. “A working knowledge of international law helps business owners and managers with global interests reduce risk and increase profits” (Melvin, 2011, P. 631).

    Upon completion of the University of Phoenix simulation "Addressing International Legal and Ethical Issues," I have outlined below several concerns that must be addressed prior to entering into any legally binding business contracts with international organizations. Prior to entering into international contractual business agreements it is important to take into consideration the rules and laws of all countries that are to be bound by those agreements, as well as any multinational governing bodies such as the WTO. Among the many issues that should be considered include the political stability of the countries involved, copyright and patent protection laws, economic issues including pricing policies and taxation, employment laws and regulations, ethical and cultural diversity matters, and environmental concerns.…

    Wes Anderson

    • 2580 Words
    • 6 Pages

    When watching Moonrise Kingdom or Rushmore the touch of Wes Anderson is not hard to find. His comical movies having taken on a nature of their own and the audience has come to expect excellence from the director; not only for the enjoyment of the movie but for the quality that the movie is made in. Over the years he has begun to develop a style all to his own. In Moonrise Kingdom the movie was shot with the yellow being the prominent color being seen. Anderson’s scenes have a lot of motion to them, whether the camera is creating motion, the characters are moving, or there is movement in the back ground there always seems to be something going on the scene creating motion. With sound Anderson likes to let the audience know what is going on there is more diegetic sound then there is non-diegetic sound. If there is a phone conversation then more likely than not the audience will not only hear the whole conversation but will also see both characters in separate locations on the phone. There is also the appeal of symmetry in his movies a house is split perfectly by the front door actors are place in a way that creates symmetry objects are laid out this way as well, this is part of Anderson’s mis-en-scene. One of the common themes in Anderson’s movies is his storylines particularly in Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom, following two boys who act way older than their age and get into outrageous situations that the rest of the world seems to put up with, Anderson crosses the line from reality to fiction in a very believable way.…
