Be sure to not only include the 5 things you found interesting in your reading, but

please also address the questions in this prompt:

So, how many of you, one of the first words that came to mind when thinking

about how Native Americans have been portrayed to you in other classes

(thinking all the way back to elementary school) was SAVAGES?

How many of you thought about small groups of half-naked people whooping

and hollering while dancing around a fire outside of a teepee?

Most people in my classes, this is their recollection of previous teachings on Native America. Surprising?

So what if I were to tell you that instead of the handful of Natives here in the

Americas, there were actually as many as 120 million of them in 1492? That this

population size was equal to that found in Europe at that time?

What if I told you that these “savages” lived in cities–sophisticated cities, many

more sophisticated than Paris, France at that time. Not just the Incas or the Mayans either…there were cities all over the Americas. That the Americas are home

to the greatest number of pyramids in the world…that the largest pyramid in the

world is actually in the Americas not in Egypt, and that one side of the base of

this pyramid measures a half mile in length? And that it has just been discovered

within the last 10 years because it had been literally swallowed up by the Amazon jungle?

Did any of you know all of this? Most of my students are dumbfounded by these

revelations.

And if I were to ask you to name something foundational to this country that we

have adopted from Native America, how many of you could give me an answer?

I ask you all of these things as we continue our discussions of the “discoverer” of

America, Christopher Columbus, for a reason. Was he truly the discoverer of this

land? Were there other foreigners who came here long before Columbus? Why

don’t we celebrate the Afro-Phoenicians (Africans) as “discoverers”of America?

Or the Chinese? For that matter, why do we celebrate a “discoverer” at all when

there were already 120 million people living here?

Why do we not celebrate Native Americans as one of the great “founders” of this

country as we do Columbus, or the Pilgrims, or Washington, Jefferson, etc? Are

they not part of our foundations? How would James Loewen explain this?

Especially since much of our ideas about democracy actually come from Native

Americans?

YES, DEMOCRACY…one of the ideas that makes up the very foundations of this

country comes from the Iroquois Confederacy.

I would bet very few of you knew this….

What are your thoughts about all of this? What other issues came up for you in

your readings and the lecture?

 CAN YOU DO THIS FOR ME

EACH THREAD MUST BE A 1000 WORDS

Discussion Board Forum 2 – Thread 

 

Topic: Intellectual Property

This discussion board is largely inspired by material found in your course textbook:

Kubasek, N. K., Browne, M. N., Barkacs, L., Herron, D., & Dhooge, L. (2016). Biblical worldview edition of dynamic business law. N. J. Kippenhan (Ed.). New York, NY: McGraw Hill Education.

Thread Prompt:

Review the Case Opener at the beginning of Chapter 8: Technology  Companies at War, as well as this article on a Supreme Court decision in  the Samsung/Apple Patent Litigation.

Samsung and Apple continue to fight to protect  their rights to their intellectual property, just as any company fights  to protect the real, personal, and intellectual property on which its  business, revenues, and reputation are based. These same property issues  are at stake in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries where  patents on medicines, medical devices, cutting-edge genomic therapies, etc. form much of a company’s livelihood.

For this discussion board, respond to the 3 questions in the Business Ethics Flashpoint 8.1 in your text. Your response must explain how you balance the interests at stake, including:

• How should a for-profit corporation balance its business needs with the needs of its customers?
• Lives depend on products created by some companies. Do these companies have a greater responsibility to work to benefit the consumer more than themselves?
• Look at the issue from a Biblical worldview. How would you respond if you were running such a company?

Your thread must explain how you balance the interests at stake including:

• Creator v. Consumer in the creation and management of intellectual property     
  • Profit and return on investment for company owners/shareholders
  • Continuing existence of the company
  • Protecting intellectual property of the company
  • Needs of patients, practitioners, and society
• Biblical support and guidance for your positions
• Any other legal and ethical concepts you believe may be relevant

Submit your thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.
