4. It is argued that environmental policy should be imposed at the federal level.

She was verbally and physically abusive to staff in the emergency department and her boyfriend states she has been increasingly bizarre for the past few weeks.

He is worried as she is spending all of her money on advertising her cure for cancer and has been drinking alcohol and taking street drugs to keep herself awake.

As the textbook states, "Intellectual property and information rights are extremely important assets of individuals."

The protection of these rights in today's world with the speed of the Internet is often difficult to secure. We have seen designs, works, and products abused by those who seek the quick profit copying them illegally, whether the original was good or bad.

Your thoughts, please. Make sure to include in your discussion how these rights are transferred and protected.
