Here are links for two articles on immigration:
“Nearly 1 in 10 California workers is in country illegally, study finds” –

Los Angeles
Times http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-new-immigrants-california-economy-
20140903-story.html

“It’s Job Opportunity, Stupid” – Center for Immigration Studies http://cis.org/edwards/its-job-opportunity-stupid

Write an essay of no less than 550 and no more than 650 words in which you comment
on what these two articles have to say. Your response must be based on what you have
learned in the past two weeks concerning the question of historical race issues in
California. How do these articles resonate with what you have learned? How are they
different? Ultimately your essay should provide an answer to the question are
immigrants valuable contributors to life in California or are they not based on the history
of immigrants to California.?
As you will have only 600 words to tackle these very challenging questions, you must
focus your argument carefully by starting with a well-crafted thesis.
For evidence to support your argument, your response must rely on the materials,
lectures, and videos we have encountered in this class. Apt use of this evidence will be
one of the key hallmarks of an excellent response. YOUR ARGUMENT MUST RELY
ENTIRELY ON YOUR HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT YOU HAVE
LEARNED ABOUT CALIFORNIA’S HISTORY CONCERNING RACE AND
ETHNICITY OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

Your paper should begin with an introductory paragraph that states the thesis of
your paper. A thesis is a statement of the opinion or point of view you will
develop and support in your paper. It should be specific, and it should suggest
how you will support your opinion.
•

It might be possible to write this paper WITHOUT drawing on the readings,
discussions, and lectures for this class, but papers that don’t draw on class
materials to support their thesis will be deemed unsatisfactory (D/65) work

.
• Your rendering of the evidence from sources must be accurate.
•

Every aspect of your paper should engage with supporting your thesis.
•

The ideas you express should follow a logical sequence that builds to the
complete proof of your thesis.

• The language you use should be clear and free of grammatical or spelling errors.
•

The paper should be double-spaced with the first line of each paragraph indented
a half inch.

These are the instructions from the teacher, I copied and pasted them below. I have to follow the instructions below and analyze the contract I attatched.

Contract Analysis

(50 points)

Each student is to produce a 4 paragraph paper analyzing a contract. In advance of the paper send, for review by the instructor, a copy of a contract used in everyday life, e.g., insurance, credit card, rental agreement, gym membership, etc. Send this by email. Be creative. It can be a blank contract. Several websites offer free form contracts. There are contracts in Canvas under Student Resources Module. Thecopy of the contract must be turned in with the paper unless you are using one tha tis in Canvas. In that case, merely reference the title of the contract in your report. A URL is not a substitute. It will count as if no contract was attached.

Please make sure any confidential data has been deleted or blacked out. A four paragraph typed summary of the contract must be attached which discusses and features of the contract that were covered in the text. This is an analysis of legal concepts and not a filled-in contract. The first paragraph is to be a summary of the entire contract. Please note that Isaid a summary– which means an overview of the contract and not a detailed description. Your summary paragraph should not be much longer than the 3 other paragraphs. I’m looking for an overview of the contract and not what each section is about. The other three paragraphs are to be used to discuss and analyze three different clauses in the contract (one per paragraph) and how they relate to the textbook and lecture. Be sure and indicate which paragraph in the contract you are discussing, e.g., #1 of the contract talks about x, y, and z. I am looking for an analysis of how each clause relates to the class material. Little or no analysis will result in point deductions. Summarizing the clause is not an analysis. Show me that you understand how this clause functions in the “real world”. I want to see that you understand the legal consequences of each clause you are discussing and not just paraphrasing the contract wording. Hypothetical examples are an easy way of showing this. You must also refer by page or chapter to the part(s) of the text you are using. It is not sufficient to say “according to the text” or something similar. Additionally, do not reference other textbooks. I don’t have access to them so I can’t verify the reference. If you don’t have a text, there is one on reserve in the library. I don’t mind if you use the 7th edition but say so as I waste time looking through all texts to see which one a student used. That will bring about a point(s) deduction.

What Not To Put in Your Contract Report

Discussing the formation of a contract is not acceptable. In other words, Express/Implied Contracts, Offer; Acceptance; Consideration; Bilateral; etc., are not clauses in most contracts. Do Not Talk About Offer, Acceptance andConsideration. Don’t talk about an express contract. If you are unsure, then ask me via email. Most contracts don’t say, “This is an express contract”. If your contract is in writing

IT’S AN EXPRESS CONTRACT

It is probably a bilateral contract as well. You will receive no extra points if you state this. If you use any of these concepts as the legal concept in your analysis and, the legal concept isn’t the subject of that clause, you will receive no points for that clause. Each clause is worth 12 points so that’s a huge loss of points.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. DO NOT TALK ABOUT CONTRACT FORMATION OR THE TYPE OF CONTRACT. IF YOU ARE WRONG, THERE WILL BE A POINT DEDUCTION AND THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY INCLUDING IT.

If you are using a rental or lease agreement for real property, at least one clause must be from outside of the chapter titled “Landlord and Tenant. If all three of your clauses rely on that chapter, there will be an automatic 11 point deduction. Please email me if you are unsure of your clauses. Please remember, agreements for real property or services do not follow the UCC. So, if using an agreement for real property or services, do not discuss any of those UCC chapters . Students in online classes often miss the easiest clause to talk about – ADR or Arbitration as it doesn’t have extensive coverage in the text. However, it is critical in the business world. Additionally, most contracts have “boiler plate” clauses towards the end. These clauses are the easiest to use as the text generally has good information on them as well as examples. If you are using an example from the text, be sure to reference that. It is strongly advised to have your contract chosen before mid-term and reviewed by me, the instructor, shortly after that. I will also be happy to review and make any comments on your rough draft if submitted to me a minimum of 48 hours before the due date. If I review your rough draft and suggest changes, subsequent requests for review are welcomed but must include the previously suggested changes. Spelling and grammar are part of the grading and deductions will be taken if there are errors in these areas. The Writing Center on campus is free to all Cuyamaca students but you will need an appointment. There are also online tutors. I take into account the difficulty of the subject matter you have attempted. It is easy to talk about “termination” of a contract. It is more complex to talk about “subrogation” or “risk of loss”. Be sure that you are not talking about the UCC when dealing with a contract for real property, services, e-contracts, etc. Here is how the grading rubric breaks down:

Summary paragraph ,5 points

Clause 1, 2 and 3, 12 points

each with a further breakdown for each clause of 3 points for correctly identifying a concept, 3 points

for defining it,1 point

for referencing it to the text, and 5 points

for the analysis;

Contract attached if not from Canvas ,

1 point

; and,

8 points for spelling and grammar.

You can see that a long summary paragraph will not make up for an inadequate analysis.

This assignment may not be turned in after its due date nor may it be re-done. You have most of the class to work on this assignment. Preview copies to instructor must be submitted through email. There is an example of the assignment on Canvas under Student Resources Module

Read Case #11 pages 425-462: Southwest Airlines in 2014: Culture, Values, and Operating Practices

Then answer the following questions:

1. Which of the Five Generic Competitive Strategies does Southwest practice? If there are multiple, please explain with details.
2. How has Southwest increased their competitive position? Use the concepts from chapter 6 to help you make your argument.

Your submission should be in APA format and your references should be in APA format. There is no page length requirement. Make sure that when you answer the questions and support your points with facts from the case or additional research using credible or scholarly sources You must provide references in APA format
