Xiaomi Case Analysis

/in

Having developed a definition of popular culture in the last module, this week we’re turning to how popular culture applies to you personally. This could be related to your personal experiences (such as your fandom) or things you’ve observed about those around you (for instance, how your family members interact with popular culture). Based on the module resources and your own research, write an initial post that addresses the following:

Describe a popular culture artifact that either you or someone around you finds especially interesting. What resonates with you about the artifact? How does experiencing that artifact help contribute to your understanding of society?
Share a current issue related to popular culture that you have found interesting or that has personally impacted you. Post an article from a news source. How does popular culture help you better understand this issue?

In responding to your peers, provide feedback about the examples utilized and the feedback loop being created. Are there other feedback loops being created through these examples (i.e., is there more than one message being presented)? Make sure you support your response with information from the readings, this module, and any additional resources as needed.

Empire Courier Service

/in

Dave is a driver for Empire Courier Service. Around the company, Dave is known as sort of a hothead. During his previous employment at another company, Dave had been involved in a workplace fistfight with a fellow employee, resulting in criminal charges.

One day, between deliveries and in a company vehicle, Dave decides to get lunch. While leaving the parking lot at Big Burrito Bistro, the favorite lunch spot for most Empire Courier employees, Dave negligently causes a car accident with another vehicle, resulting in injuries to Victor, the driver of the other car. As Dave and Victor are waiting on the side of the road for the police to arrive, Victor comments to Dave, “Oh, you drive for Empire Courier Service. It doesn’t surprise me that Empire hires bad drivers because their service stinks, and their prices are too high!” Dave is so offended that Victor would insult his employer’s professional reputation that he punches Victor in the face, causing Victor to suffer even more injuries. Empire Courier Service does not, as a matter of policy, do criminal background checks on its employees.

Within your paper, define agency and how an agency relationship is created. Identify the various types of agency relationships, and explain tort liability and how it relates to the agency relationship.

Then, considering the legal principles discussed in Chapter 20, explain who is liable for Dave’s negligence for causing the car accident, and explain who is liable for Dave’s intentional tort for punching Victor.

Provide your answers in a case analysis of at least two pages in length.

Case Application 2 The Challenge of Toys for Girls

The long awaited release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was quickly followed by a toy market controversy. The absence of the female lead character Rey from action figure sets and a Star Wars-themed Monopoly game sparked a negative reaction from fans. Hasbro said the company intentionally left Rey out to avoid revealing her important plot role before movie goers were able to see the movie. However, a #WheresRey social media campaign quickly highlighted the gender disparity in the toy products and Hasbro eventually responded with the Rey figurines. Was this an isolated incident? Unfortunately, the toy industry has struggled with gender-related issues for many years, and the sales of toys for girls have lagged. Even Barbie, who has been around for more than 50 years, has often faced a negative public reaction. Many have criticized Mattel for contributing to body image issues in young girls due to Barbie’s unrealistic body proportions. After declining sales, Mattel recently released new dolls with varying body types. The new options include tall, petite, and curvy-shaped dolls. However, some believe that the Barbie doll still overemphasizes beauty and is not a positive toy for young girls. Lego has also struggled with creating products for girls. After years of a gender- neutral approach, Lego created products to target girls in the 1990s. However, this move had little success as some noted their girl product line was just a pink and simplified version of what they considered their boy line of products. In 2012, the company released a new line of “Friends” Lego sets targeting girls. The “Friends” line did grow sales; however, the sets were criticized due to their limited functionality and emphasis on gender stereotypes. The sets featured a pastel colored salon and swimming pool and suggested a life of leisure for the female characters. Lego finally had some success with girls in 2014 after it introduced the Research Institute line of figurines that included 119  professional women such as an astronomer and a chemist, but this was a limited edition set offered only for a short period of time. Toy sales have trended down over the last 10 years, and some suggest that failure to sell to girls impacted this decline. The toy industry doesn’t seem to understand what girls want, often emphasizing a homogeneous image of girls who like the color pink and princesses. Parents are concerned, many believing the toys that are most available to girls such as those related to makeup and homemaking only work to enforce gender stereotypes that may affect girls’ aspirations.
