"It is obvious that the Church had a great influence on the music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and even the Baroque. Do you believe that was a good thing? Was it it beneficial, for the development of the music in general and composers in particular, that they were scrutinized by the Church? Would have they been better off if they were offered free-reign, and allowed to compose whatever they wanted, however they wanted? Finally, can you think of a similar instance, in art, literature, or any other genre, where an institution had a great control over the creative process? What was the outcome in that particular instance?

Response should be a well developed paragraph

Suppose a simple random sample of 26 male students is asked whether they have pulled an "all-nighter " for academic reasons and 10 answered "yes." Suppose a simple random sample of 25 female students is asked whether they have pulled an "all-nighter" for academic reasons and 8 answered "yes."

Is there insufficient evidence based on the sample to reject the claim that male and female students are equally likely to have pulled an "all-nighter" for academic reasons?

Deflation refers to the phenomenon of a negative inflation rate. (In 2004, the inflation rate was negative in Hong Kong and we say Hong Kong suffered deflation in 2004.) Many people regard deflation as bad. Can you explain why? Is deflation sometimes good (at least for some people)?

Discuss case study: Globe Life Insurance Company has undertaken a new sales program that targets neighborhoods in Los Angeles where drive-by shootings were a nightly occurrence. Two such shootings occurred in which children were killed as they sat in their living rooms. Globe salespeople were instructed to "hit" the houses surrounding those where children were victims. They were also told to contact the parents of those children to sell policies for their other children. Tom Raskin, an experienced Globe salesman, read of a drive-by shooting at Nancy Leonard's home, in which Leonard's 5-year-old son was killed. The Los Angeles Times reported that Leonard was a single parent with four other children. Raskin traveled to Leonard's home and described the benefits of a Globe policy for her other children. He offered her the $10,000 term life policy for each of the children for a total cost of $21 per month. Leonard was in the process of making funeral arrangements for her son, and Raskin noted, "See how much it costs for a funeral." Leonard had been given several tranquilizers the night before by a physician at the hospital's emergency room. The physician had also given her 15 more tranquilizers to help her through the following week. She had taken one additional tranquilizer an hour before Raskin arrived, using a Coors Lite beer to take the pill. Leonard signed the contract for the policy. After her son's funeral, she received the first month's bill for it and exclaimed, "I didn't buy any life insurance! Where did this come from?"

Discuss whether Leonard had legal standing to sue Globe. Did she have to pay for the life insurance? Also, discuss the ethical issues involved in the Globe's sales program. Discuss the legal issues involved in Raskin's decision to target Leonard the day after her son's death.
