Prior to European exploration, there were already many other explorations going around the world. For example, we have the Vikings of which people have theorized that they indeed discovered America centuries before Columbus actually did. There is one further piece of evidence that displays even more people discovered America before Columbus: Chinese pottery that were not indigenous to the people at the time. However, even though Columbus did not discover the Americas first, European Exploration still had a more immense impact within their world and our modern world today.…
The tax issue here is that John Smith wants to know how the $300,000 he earned through his client fee is taxed. The $300,000 is taxed as ordinary income and is taxed in the year received. John Smith worked on the case for two years but he did not earn the $300,000 until this year so he will include it in this year’s taxable income. Therefore John Smith needs to include the entire $300,000 as ordinary income on his Federal tax return. Gross Income means all income from whatever source derived which includes compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items. (IRC Sec. 61(a),(1))…
| Dear Mr. Moore, After reviewing this case, I can state that Teddy’s Supplies is definitely liable for the workplace and sexual harassment against Virginia Pollard. According to the facts, it’s indicated that Ms. Pollard (plaintiff) was placed in a ‘hostile’ environment and Mr. Steve King was her supervisor. Although it is not illegal for 1 woman to work with a group of men, it should be carefully determined by the employer if the environment is suitable for males and females to work together. In this case, it was not a good idea for 1 woman to work with male associates. • Workplace environment can by justified by 7 ways: race, gender, national origin, religious, color, age and disability. In this case, Pollard was constantly being harassed by her male colleagues. They played pranks on her by locking her drawers shut, filling the guard shack with trash, locking her out of the guard shack and therefore she was not able to perform her job duty since she was responsible for watching warehouse inventory. Also, Ms. Pollard was put into unnecessary risk of harm when a coworker backed a forklift up to the guard shack and it backfire into her ear. Ms. Pollard could have sustained injuries if the forklift had hit her because it weighted 3 tons and it could have easily injured her eardrums because it is very loud.…

Year round schooling has been present in society since the early 1800’s as well as the debates of its benefits. Year round schooling allows children to attend in a staggered schedule with no long breaks.

Year round schooling can be disruptive to both the family of the students and the teachers themselves, it can be too costly for a large group of people, and year round schools do not provide the same opportunity for learning as the traditional school year does. For several reasons, the traditional school year, which runs for ten months instead of eleven, is more beneficial in comparison to year round schooling.…
