Pascal James is an avid Toronto sports fan and is invited by his best friend to a Toronto Raptors basketball game. Pascal is very excited because he has front row, floor seats and will be able to enjoy for the first time such great views of the game. Given that the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team is not playing due to the National Hockey League (NHL) strike, he is even more keen than ever to see a sporting event at the Air Canada Centre (owned and operated by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment or MLSE). Pascal and his best friend attend the game but unfortunately, the evening goes very badly. During the third quarter, a 7 foot tall player diving to save the ball from going out of bounds crashes into Pascal causing beer and nachos to ruin his very expensive suit, shirt and tie. Also, the crash re-injured his already bad shoulder and arm that he originally injured playing tennis. Despite this, he recovers and settles in to enjoy the fourth quarter of the game. Half-way through the fourth quarter, one of the giant lighting structures directly above him attached to the roof of the stadium snaps from its cable and lands directly on Pascal. The accident results in serious bodily harm to Pascal including full paralysis and third-degree burns to most of his body. He has been told by his doctors that he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Pascal hires a personal injury lawyer to advise of his legal rights under the circumstances. Pascal learns from the press that a few months before the game he attended, the electrical contractor responsible for the maintenance/safety of the lights on a weekly basis was told by senior management of MLSE that their services were no longer needed because of the NHL strike and less use of the Air Canada Centre. The contractor claims they cancelled his contract in order to save money during the NHL strike.
Discuss and advise Pascal.
Sample Solution
nitiated in 1988, by the National Center for Educational Statistics. This data was drawn from 1,052 school in the United states from 25000+ eight graders mainly of Caucasian and African- American decent (only for the purpose of the study). The Variables used where Sex, Race, Socioeconomic status, Grade point average, Academic achievement and Global Self-Esteem. Steele Two forms of data collection. One method being a two -stage stratified design. One stage was the schools and the students within it were the second. It was stated that the side effect of using this method of sampling was that it caused the sample data to be inflated âto equal the exact population of roughly 3 million studentsâ. In doing so, the data became slightly distorted in narrowing down specific statistics. The results determined that African-American students in the 8th grade did not have lower self-esteem than white students and seemed so show a strong correlation of academic success between both sexes. But, the study showed that students in grade 10 who were African American did show to disidentify with their culture and did significantly poorer. The results identified that the minority students cared less about themselves and felt as if they were not of any worth nor satisfied with themselves as a result of seeing the academic environment as âdiscriminatory and lacking in rewardsâ (J.W Osborne, p.453) This work is relative to my topic because it identifies the decline in studies as a result of discriminatory classroom practice by the teachers.>
