What did Manville want to do here, and why?

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy (BK)In re Johns-Manville Corp.36 B.R. 727 (Bkrtcy. N.Y. 1984)Case Description: Johns-Manville Corp. was (is) a Fourtune 500 company, and was deemed a paradigm of success in corporate America by the financial community. However, the company produced a product that was poison—asbestos. (Moreover, Manville knew it was poison, and had know it since the 1930s (http://www.ewg.org/research/asbestos-think-again/industry-hid-dangers-decades (Links to an external site.)), and it hid the danger. By 1982 approximately 16,000 lawsuits were pending against Manville, and it anticipated a further crushing economic burden by the filing of an even more staggering number of suits by those who had been exposed but who will not manifest the asbestos-related diseases until some time during this future period (20-30 years as the disease manifests itself–“the future asbestos claimants”). Approximately 6,000 asbestos health claims were estimated to have arisen in only the first 16 months since the filing date. The burden was compounded by the insurance industry’s general disavowal of liability to Manville on policies written for this very purpose.Procedure:JM petitioned for a pre-emptive bankrupcy under Chapter 11; attorneys representing some of the people sickened by JM’s product moved to dismiss the petition.Issue: Can JM pre-emptively declare bankruptcy and discharge future cases? Why? or Why Not? Case Questions:What did Manville want to do here, and why? (Analyze the purpose of the BK declation and the reason behind it.) How does this case demonstrate the fundamental purpose of Chapter 11 as opposed to Chapter 7 BK filings? The historical background here is that Manville knew from at least 1930 that asbestos—used in many industrial applications—was a deadly carcinogen, and it worked diligently for decades to conceal and obfuscate the fact. What “good faith” argument was raised by the movants in this case?Case Study Directions:Submit 3-5 page analyzing the Case above. Give bacground information describing BK, types of bankrapcies, and the purpose of BK filings. Provide a scholarly argument on the issue: Can JM pre-emptively declare bankruptcy and discharge future cases? Why? or Why Not? You also need to provide analytical and critical responses to the three (3)

In what ways did the magazine acknowledge the class dimension of a whole new influx of service-sector women workers that filled the labor market in the late-1960s and 1970s?

Race, Gender and Social Class In “Inventing the Cosmo Girl” (1999), Laurie Ouellette explains how editor Helen Gurley Brown changed Cosmopolitan’s style in the mid-1960s. Unlike Ms. magazine, an outlet more aligned with the feminist movement, the Brown-directed Cosmopolitan recognized not just women readers but specifically single, working-class women readers. In what ways did the magazine acknowledge the class dimension of a whole new influx of service-sector women workers that filled the labor market in the late-1960s and 1970s? How did the “girl style American dream” that Brown’s Cosmo articulated challenge some aspects of capitalist patriarchal hegemony while reinforcing and perpetuating other aspects? Connect Cosmo and Brown’s emphasis on female beautification and self-worth to Jillian Baez’s chapter entitled “Navigating and Negotiating Latina Beauty.” How does Baez explain how the media not only sexualizes Latina women in gendered and class terms a la Ouellette’s analysis but do so in distinctly racialized ways? According to Baez, in what ways do Latina audiences accept the hegemonic, consumerist depiction of Latina beauty but also contest it?

Explore ways to give the viewer of a live(or recorded) theatre performance that freedom.

I would like you to look into how, as technology changes, we are able to watch live performances without actually being there. Many of the positive things about being in a live audience is different, but what is possible to keep it a good experience. For theatrical productions, look at what places like the Metropolitan Opera, and many organizations since the world quarantine, are doing to broadcast their live performances. I’m looking to see if you can find any ways to make the experience more interactive. For these live broadcasts what the viewer/audience sees is determined by the director and the camera. For the audience in a true live situation, they have the ability to look wherever they chose. It’s a true freedom of being in a live audience. Explore ways to give the viewer of a live(or recorded) theatre performance that freedom. For music, we’ve all seen musicians performing from their homes, or other places without a live audience. What I would like you to explore are ways to have musicians performing from DIFFERENT locations at the same time, but being able to stay synchronized. Are there programs that let musicians play with each other without being in the same location? How do they keep the same beat? Is there a problem with latency? What is the future of remote live performances?

Describe a 4 minute TED Talk on Communication in close relationships.

The assignment is to upload a 4-minute “TED Talk” on a topic from the text that resonated with you. This should be a fully realized professional speech, so you should dress like you were presenting an actual TED Talk, stand, and deliver your speech. In terms of what you should say, there should be an introduction that gives us an overview of what you’ll talk about, an informative section that explains whatever concept you are talking about, and then a persuasive section that tells us why this concept is important and how we can use it in our daily lives. Then you should conclude by summarizing what you said and leaving us with an inspirational message.
