Student comprehension of a topic as complex as this would require background knowledge of chemistry. But, by failing to raise their hands to indicate they had such knowledge, the students would likely not have been able to understand this as their first lesson in the subject.

  • GLOBAL MONITOR Bond Rating Agencies
    New Political Economy, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2003 GLOBAL MONITOR Bond Rating Agencies TIMOTHY J. SINCLAIR Emerging from relative obscurity in the 1990s, the major bond rating agencies, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), have recently acquired a global reach from their US home base. Their views on the creditworthiness of corporations, municipalities and sovereign governments have become much more significant as capital markets have grown more important as sources of financing relative to traditional bank loans. This new international role for the bond rating agencies builds upon a century of prior experience of rating and information provision in the United States. The long gestation undertaken by the rating industry is usually ignored by analysts, but it is central to understanding the resources the rating agencies bring to their work, and why they are able to shield themselves from some of the rating ‘failures’ that took place in the 1990s. What the agencies actually sell is a feeling of confidence in the future, and how that feeling is created, managed (and challenged) are key moments in understanding the rating system. Rating agencies vary by reputation, the more eminent firms being more successful at inducing confidence.1 I begin this report by briefly outlining the origins and current standing of the US agencies. The rating process and outputs are the focus of the second part, as these activities are key to understanding what makes rating work. In the third element of this report, I examine the controversy over the downgrading of Japanese sovereign bonds. In the subsequent section, I discuss the Enron bankruptcy, a key recent rating ‘failure’ that risks degrading or destroying the reputation of the global rating agencies.

Menell: DTSA Whistleblower Immunity SYMPOSIUM ARTICLE The Defend Trade Secrets Act Whistleblower Immunity Provision: A Legislative History Peter S. Menell** ABSTRACT The Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) was the product of a multi-year effort to federalize trade secret protection. In the final stages of drafting the DTSA, Senators Grassley and Leahy introduced an important new element: immunity “for whistleblowers who share confidential infor- mation in the course of reporting suspected illegal activity to law enforce- ment or when filing a lawsuit, provided they do so under seal.” The mean- ing and scope of this provision are of vital importance to enforcing health, safety, civil rights, financial market, consumer, and environmental protec- tions and deterring fraud against the government, shareholders, and the public. This article explains how the whistleblower immunity provision was formulated and offers insights into its proper interpretation.

  • Rodriguez-Talavera, Leticia Defining Business Communication Using the Movie "The 16P.; Paper Presented at the Annual Meetin
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 455 544 CS 510 588 AUTHOR Rodriguez-Talavera, Leticia TITLE Defining Business Communication Using the Movie "The Insider" as Mediator of Students' Thought Processes. PUB DATE 2001-05-00 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Business Communication Convention (66th, San Diego, CA, November 7-10, 2001). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Business Communication; *Classroom Techniques; Communication Research; *Essays; Higher Education; Semiotics IDENTIFIERS Communication Context; *Concept Recognition; Iconic Representation; *Insider (The); University of Puerto Rico ABSTRACT Business communication is different from other domains in that its contextual meaning requires previous metacognitive mediation of signs. The communicative process in business is aimed at accomplishing a specific outcome. Various forms of meaning come into play in business communication such as denotative, connotative, stylistic, affective, collocative, thematic, aesthetic, and generative. In teaching business communication theory an uncalculated number of strategies have been used throughout the years. A study employed the strategy of extrapolating meaning from the communicative issues and/or events presented throughout the 1999 film "The Insider," which centers on the distracting euphemism used by top executives of the tobacco industries when testifying in court that nicotine is not harmful to people's health. Participants, 30 volunteer students from the Faculty of Business Communication, University of Puerto Rico, watched the movie and then wrote essays about how business communication theory concepts were related to the different issues and events in the film. Essays (n=25) were analyzed in terms of cohesive structure and modes of stylistic writing.

  • Group Term Paper
    Paper 3: Group Paper and Presentation CSCI 3316 Fall 2018 1 Goals • To watch an outstanding movie: The Insider, directed by Michael Mann, starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, 1999, 2 hours 40 minutes. Before watching it, you might want to check out the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. • To understand that movie using the ethical framework we have developed this term, and to gain perspective on several of those issues. • As a team, to research and write about one issue that was woven throughout this movie. • To present your material to the class in an compelling and educational way. 2 Choose a Team and a Topic At about midterm time, I will ask students to team up in groups of three. Everyone will watch the same movie, but each team will report on a different ethical theme that was present in the movie. Organize your team. The names on the sign-up sheet will determine the eight project teams. Within each team, there are three roles: each student should present one aspect of technology in that decade. Choose a topic. I watched The Insider yesterday. It is a nail-biting thriller about these things: • Whistle blowing: Jeffrey Wigand / Brow and Williamson • Whistle blowing: Lowell Bergman / CBS • Trust: building it, losing it, and how it affects people • Public perception vs. falsified news • Money, power, corruption, and their effects • You cannot undo your past. Events are not erased. So is redemption possible? • Non-disclosure agreements: ethical uses and misuses Whichever topic you are working on, give a brief outline of the relevant events in the movie.
