APA format

An op-ed (originally short for “opposite the editorial page”) is a short opinion piece typically published news publications. Such a piece expresses a strong opinion of an author typically not affiliated with the publication. Op-eds are typically short, persuasive in rhetoric and strong in tone. Here is a good guide from the Harvard Kennedy School on how to write a successful op-ed. You can also view the following examples of successful op-eds from Regent professors:

  • Dr. Mary Manjikian, associate professor in the Robertson School of Government, has written an op-ed published in the Tuesday, Jan. 25, issue of the Christian Science Monitor. In the op-ed, Manjikian explores the parenting questions raised by Yale law professor Amy Chua’s new book about Asian parenting, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Read Manjikian’s op-ed here.
  • Dr. Eric Patterson, dean of the Robertson School of Government, published his op-ed on The Blaze, discussing “My Two Cents Day,” a student project to promote awareness of the U.S. national debt.

For this assignment construct an op-ed using a Biblical perspective on how to define truth and to defend it. A successful op-ed will contain the following elements:

  • Be between 550 and 750 words long.
  • Be clear in formulation and persuasive in rhetoric.
  • Has a clearly defined point of view.
  • Exhibit a clear and logical argument.
  • Engages with contemporary culture.
  • Show strong evidence of a fully developed Biblical worldview.

Business Law Case

/in /by

Three years ago the Darden Corporation bought a thousand acres of land that borders the Potowac River in Washam County. While waiting on development opportunities, Darden cut timber to help repay the mortgage loan it took out to buy the land. On March 2, the Washam County Commission proposed an ordinance to establish a 250-foot-wide greenway along the south side of the Potowac that will effectively ban both development and timbering on nearly 80 acres of Darden’s land. The same day in an unrelated accident a Darden truck ran over a hunter who was hunting without permission on the company’s land. Darden immediately contacted an attorney in Washam City.

  • What is law?
  • What does it mean to say that Darden has “property” in the land? That the hunter has “property” in himself?
  • What sources of law will the attorney have to understand in order to advise Darden about the proposed greenway? The company’s potential responsibility to the hunter?

Based on the textbook: The Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business 17th – Marisa Anne Pagnatt, answer the questions.

Question 2

Gazamia is a small country in the southern hemisphere facing great challenges in developing its economy. The country was once a leader in diamond mining and exporting. However, after 30 years of continuous mining, the diamond mines have been depleted and the nation’s economy has plummeted to the lowest level in 40 years. With too much reliance on diamond mining in the last 30 years, Gazamia has largely neglected the development of other industries including agriculture, manufacturing and services, although infrastructure and education of all levels have been well developed and invested in. The leaders of Gazamia devised a plan to reinvigorate its once-prosperous nation including providing a wide range of incentives to attract foreign investment.

Using the Gazamia scenario and any assumptions that are deemed necessary and appropriate, discuss the opportunities for an Australian company to expand its business to Gazamia as a part of its internationalisation strategy and the possible risks involved in such an endeavour.
