    The judge has made a judicial error by allowing the Plaintiff's counsel to comment on the case about Minichiello's boss being a German with an "attitude of hatred" and made forced analogies to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The judge also allowed irrelevant testimony, which asserted that the Club discriminated against Latinos, Jews, and African-Americans, to the issue of discrimination based on sexual orientation. I agree that awarding $20,000,000 was grossly excessive and has no rational basis, and was an error by the judge as well.…

This issue known as environmental injustice suggests that ethnic minorities and the poor communities are targets for toxic industries.

    I never realized the effect that social determinants play in the role of someone’s health based on where they grow up and live all their life. Social determinants of someone’s health consist of the condition someone is born, raised, lived, worked, and their age. These main issues are a key role in determining our understanding of why conditions within these areas are so hard for people and why it makes it hard for them to leave these areas. Many people don’t know what’s truly beyond the world they live in now, so they are forced to settle with what they have and deal with it.…

    Hypothesis: That there have to be stricter laws and regulations about illegally importing and exporting Australian and foreign wildlife, and these laws have to be more strongly enforced. Additionally, there should be stronger penalties for those caught illegally smuggling animals across the Australian border. There should be more intense investigations into the black market and illegal smuggling. Are the fines enough compared to the amount the people selling these animals enough in comparison to the amount being made? Is the risk worth the money? Could a legal animal trade benefit Australia economically?…

    As stated on Page 13 of the case, Bunge has several options in how to participate in the biofuels market. First, they could be more active in sugarcane-based ethanol. Advantages to the company include: a large amount of land in Brazil for the growth of sugarcane as well as relatively cheap labor; however, there is a substantial investment of $200 million. Second, they could produce more palm oil in Asia, which also requires significant investment in production facilities. Both methods result in a new position for the company consisting of the actual management of farming the commodity rather than just purchasing and processing. While removing the extra middleman from this methods could result in extraneous savings, Bunge currently is lacking in this area and has no material experts on staff.…
