Please explain how you got your answers.

The purpose of this individual assignment is to have the student evaluate the legal, moral and ethical responsibilities. This assignment will require the student to engage in critical thinking and apply tort elements and concepts to this scenario.

You own University Heights Apartments, a business that rents primarily to students. One evening, your tenant Sharon is attacked by an intruder who forces the lock on the sliding glass door of her ground-floor apartment. Sharon’s screams attract the attention of Darryl, your resident manager, who comes to Sharon’s aid. Together, Darryl and Sharon drive the intruder off, but not before they both are badly cut by the intruder.

Write a paper of 700- to 1,050-words answering the questions posed by this scenario.

• Is the intruder liable for what he has done? Why or why not?
• Do you have legal responsibilities to Sharon and Darryl? Why or why not?
• Do you have ethical responsibilities to Sharon and Darryl? Explain. If there are ethical responsibilities, what are they?
• What should you do to prevent or mitigate such risks?

Cite to at least three peer-reviewed references, identified and defined in the Instructor Policies (Spiering, 2016, Researching Assignments). Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Required elements

Students earn their grades based on the Grade Rubric. It will be inserted with comments at the end of each graded paper, along with other specific comments inserted directly into the paper itself. A grading scale (i.e. A -F) is provided in the Instructor Policies (Spiering, 2016). So, students earn high grades by satisfying each bullet point in each section – Content, Organization/Development and Mechanics.

Please note that the Mechanics section of the Grade Rubric requires the integration of research in APA format, including in-text and reference citations.

The late 18th century and early part of the 19th century are important years in American history as there were very few precedents for what the founding fathers were trying to do with first the Articles of Confederation and then the Constitution. Their ideas were influenced by notable Enlightenment authors who embraced ideals of equality under the law and the importance of education – both of which will be only partially extended to women. The idea that men (but not necessarily women) were all equal is an Enlightenment idea and it is only incompletely realized during this time period. This is felt deeply by many educated elite women who pushed men to extend the legal rights afforded to women – particularly rights over property, legal standing and the right to vote (all things the male colonists complained that Britain had trampled on during the Revolution!). Women were celebrated for their public role during the Revolution, but after the new nation was formed they would need to carve out a niche within the new Republic. As part of your reading in the textbook make sure to note how the experience of the Revolution and the early Republic varied among different groups of women (wealthy vs. poor, colonial vs. native, and free vs. slave will all have varied responses). A local figure who isn’t included in your textbook can be found here: Alethia Browning Tanner.
