At a certain location, electromagnetic wave 1 is measured to have an average electric field of Eav = 152 N/C, and electromagnetic wave 2 is measured to have an average magnetic field of Bav = 0.87 µT.

a. (5 points) Calculate the average intensity of each wave.

b. (5 points) If the electromagnetic waves are being measured 0.54 m from their light sources (assume that they are emitting light uniformly in all directions), what average power is each source emitting? By how many 60 W incandescent light bulbs would each light source need to be replaced to emit the same average power?

c. (5 points) Suppose an average human sun bathes in the light from wave 2 for 45 minutes. If we assume that this person exposes 0.45 m 2 of their skin to this light and that none of the light is reflected by the skin, how much energy is absorbed into their skin? If you could somehow utilize this energy to lift a 70. kg person on the surface of the Earth, how high could the person be lifted?

d. (5 points) Assume that both light waves are initially unpolarized. We decide to send the higher intensity light wave through a polarizer-analyzer combination so that its final intensity matches that of the lower (unpolarized) intensity light wave. If the transmission axis of the first polarizer is horizontal, how must the transmission axis of the analyzer be oriented so that the light intensities match? Express your angle as measured from the vertical axis

Congratulations! You have just been appointed to a commission studying wage discrimination against women. Again, you have been pushed from the frying pan into the fire, as this is a sensitive topic. It is your role to give the background report to the commission, who will subsequently make some recommendations for anti-discrimination policy.

1) There are several theoretical models of labour market discrimination that seek to explain why men and women with equal productivity levels may not be paid the same. Briefly describe in intuitive terms the demand-side approach, the supply-side approach (the crowding hypothesis), and the non-competitive approach involving barriers to mobility.

2) It is true that, on average, women spend less time in the labour market gaining experience, on-the-job training, and other forms of human capital than men do, which is often tied to childbearing responsibilities. Some apologists claim that lower pay for women might be justified, as employers have less of an incentive to invest in workers with higher turnover. On the other hand, this line of reasoning has been countered by some analysts. What is the nature of the critique of those who disagree with the apologists? (An apologist would say that the pay differentials are justifiable based on productivity and that there is no direct discrimination against women.)

3) Empirical research on male-female earnings differentials is required to assess the validity of the models. The extent of the wage discrimination is typically measured by the so-called Oaxaca decomposition effect. Without getting into the technical details of this equation, explain the general idea of the procedure. You should describe the major elements. No graph is necessary.

You are a federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, assigned to the following case:

Robert is a political commentator who actively criticizes the current administration on Twitter. Robert also publicly has discussed that he suffers from epilepsy, a condition that may cause seizures under certain conditions, for example exposure to flashing lights.

In late 2017, Robert received a gif file which he opened. The file contained a blinking image of a strobe light, which cause Robert to have an epileptic seizure. Robert was taken to the hospital by ambulance, however, upon arrival at the hospital, Robert’s condition was misdiagnosed as less serious than it was. After waiting for treatment for several hours, Robert passed away.

The FBI discovered that the strobe light gif was set by George, a political activist rival of Robert’s. George admits that he knew Robert had epilepsy, but says he was just “fooling around.”

Your boss, the US Attorney, would like to charge George with first degree murder, defined as “the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.” She has asked you to prepare a memo listing and all possible arguments that the defense is likely to make regarding the elements of this charge.

Prepare a memo describing to your boss the likelihood of success of convicting George for first degree murder in this case, including an in-depth discussion of actus reus, mens rea, causation, and concurrence. A thorough assignment will explain and define each element, and then apply that element to analyze the facts at hand.

1. Sandra “has it all”: a handsome and successful husband, a beautiful home in the city, and healthy gorgeous twin girls, aged 5. Most importantly, she is a busy venture capitalist who invests in start up businesses. However, she is also the primary caregiver to her invalid father who refuses to move into a nursing home and lives in his own apartment across town. She is what we call a member of ‘the sandwich generation’ and needs help managing everything.

Sandra decides to advertise and interview for three different positions: 1) a personal caregiver for her father; 2) a nanny for her daughters; and 3) a personal assistant for herself. Her father is a lovely man but holds outdated opinions on a number of issues, including, sadly, Japanese, Germans and Italians. He has never forgiven them for what happened in World War Two. He wouldn’t tolerate anyone of those backgrounds being his caregiver. Sandra would like her daughters to learn Mandarin and so wants to only hire someone Chinese as her daughters’ nanny to speak to them entirely in proper and correct Mandarin. Lastly, her husband is a very jealous man and would not tolerate her having a male assistant so she must only hire a woman for that job.

What Human Rights Code issues must Sandra be aware of in both advertising and interviewing for these positions? Will she be able to hire who she wishes or will there be any HRC violations in any or all of these situations? Refer to case and statute law where appropriate in support.

Terrorism and Torture

WASHINGTON—Most Americans and a majority of people in Britain, France and South Korea say torturing terrorism suspects is justified at least in rare instances, according to AP-Ipsos polling. The United States has drawn criticism from human rights groups and many governments, especially in Europe, for its treatment of terror suspects. President Bush and other top officials have said the U.S. does not torture, but some suspects in American custody have alleged they were victims of severe mistreatment. The polling, in the United States and eight of its closest allies, found that in Canada, Mexico and Germany people are divided on whether torture is ever justified. Most people opposed torture under any circumstances in Spain and Italy. “I don’t think we should go out and string everybody up by their thumbs until somebody talks. But if there is definitely a good reason to get an answer, we should do whatever it takes,” said Billy Adams, a retiree from Tomball, Texas. In America, 61 percent of those surveyed agreed torture is justified at least on rare occasions. Almost nine in 10 in South Korea and just over half in France and Britain felt that way.

Do you agree with most Americans that the use of torture is sometimes morally permissible in fighting terrorism? If so, what circumstances do you think would justify torture? If not, why not? How might a Natural Law Theory justify (or oppose) torture? How Natural Law theorist argue against torturing suspected terrorists?

TOPIC:   EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE ORGANIZATION

Organization officials have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that the workplace is free from unnecessary hazards. Employers hold responsibility for understanding what is necessary to keep workers safe from harm. Conditions surrounding the workplace must be secure for employee’s physical and mental health. As many organizations have implemented wellness program, that focus on smoking cessation, weight control, stress management, early diagnosis of health problems, prevention and education about life-style related and contagious illness. Wellness program can cut Employers health cost and lower absenteeism by preventing health related problems.

Recent data show that Americans consume, on average, more than three times the recommended level of sodium per day in their food and beverages. High salt intake contributes to high blood pressure and its complications-stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. In fact, thousands of lives could be saved if sodium consumption were lowered in people with high blood pressure. Write a memo (i.e., a brief report) for the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services about what might be done to address concerns about the effect of high sodium intake on health.

Be sure your memo addresses the following:

1. How might we address this problem in the patient population using the medical model that a health care provider might use versus a population health model that a public health official might use?

2. How far can and should governments go in attempting to create a more healthful environment? Intrinsic to many population health policies is the specter of the so-called nanny state.

3. In this case, is it necessary for everyone to be exposed to lower sodium in their bread, in other common foods, and in restaurants, to protect people who have salt-sensitive illnesses?

4. Should manufacturers bear the costs of manufacturing different versions of food in order to protect the public's health?

5. Should manufacturers be required to manufacture healthier foods even if customers prefer the less-healthy versions?

6. Should manufacturers be liable if they don't manufacture healthier foods?
