You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Chetum, and Howe. John, a former researcher at PharmaCARE, comes to your office. He has

concerns about PharmaCARE’s use of AD23, one of the company’s top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago, after PharmaCARE’s research

indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to

maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) scrutiny, PharmaCARE established a wholly-owned subsidiary,

CompCARE, to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription basis. CompCARE established itself

in a suburban office park near its parent’s headquarters. To conserve money and time, CompCARE did a quick, low-cost renovation.

CompCARE benefited from PharmaCARE’s reputation, databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise, and within six (6) months had the

medical community buzzing about AD23. Demand soared, particularly among Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the

opportunity to realize even more profit, CompCARE began advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals,

clinics, and physician offices, even though compounding pharmacies are not permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this

technicality, CompCARE encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to CompCARE. PharmaCARE sold CompCARE to WellCo, a large

drugstore chain, just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.

As CompCARE and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and PharmaCARE’s stock price approached $300 per share, reports started surfacing

that people who received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling

large orders and paying huge bonuses to all the executives and managers, including John, whose wife recently died from a heart attack after

using AD23.

John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23, and information describing the company’s

willingness “roll the dice” and continue to market the drug.

Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.

In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within

the past two (2) years.

Write a paper in which you:

1.Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulation of product safety and

examine whether PharmaCARE violated any of the issues in question..

2.Argue for or against Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing by drug companies. Provide support for your response..

3.Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme, the actions that either these

parties or the FDA could / should have taken in this scenario, and whether PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices.

Support your response..

4.Analyze the manner in which PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true

“inventor” of AD23. Suggest at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property..

5.Summarize at least one (1) current example (within the past two [2] years) of intellectual property theft, and examine the effect on that

company’s brand..

6.Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of John’s wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23..

7.Specify both the major arguments that John can make to claim that he is a whistleblower and the type of protections that he should be

afforded. Justify your response..

8.Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.

Please visit the SEC web site (www.sec.gov) to locate the most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings for Home Depot, Inc. Once at the web site, find the section labeled “Filings & Forms (EDGAR)” and click on “Search for Company Filings” and at the next page click on the link “Company or fund name…” to get to the search box where you enter the company’s name. Type in “Home Depot” in the company name box and click “Find Companies.” You will get a listing of all the company’s recent SEC filings. We are looking for the March 24, 2016 filing of the company’s Form 10-K for the period ended January 31, 2016 and the company’s latest Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended. Scroll down the far left column until you see the first ”10-Q” link and “10-K” link —click on the HTML link on that row. That will take you to an opening document. Select and download the first listed documents (10-Q and 10-K) in each window. Caution: The documents are lengthy; consider reviewing them on line or down loading them prior to determine whether you need to print them. The 10-K document contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which represents management’s discussion of the 2015-2016 activities and performance. This document also contains the full set of financial statements. The 10-Q document contains the most recent financial results for the latest quarter ended. (Make sure you have the most recent 10-Q document as there will be several posted).

Please answer the following questions after reading these documents. DO NOT MERELY CUT AND PASTE OUT OF THE FILINGS. Rather, you should summarize your main thoughts as answers to the questions below. You should be able to describe most of your answers with a few sentences and they should fit in the space provided.

Questions 1 should be answered by referring to the 10-K.

1.
• In your own words, provide a brief description of the industry Home Depot participates in and impact of today’s external environment on Home Depot.
• In your own words, provide a brief description of Home Depot’s core business.
• In your own words, provide a brief description about Home Depot’s major customer groups:
• In your own words, provide a brief description and assessment of the company’s competition.
• In your own words, what is the company’s current overall strategy? That is, what goals/objectives do they have and how are they going about accomplishing those objectives (hit the high level issues).
• Based on your readings, consider the following. If you were the CEO of Home Depot, what might you be worried about? Said differently, what business risks does Home Depot have? Try to provide at least five business risks.
• What potential material misstatements to the financial statements may result due to the above identified business risks? That is, if a business risk was actually realized how might they create a financial reporting or accounting issue? Some business risks may not lead to financial statement risks.
• Look at the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Based on information provided to the previous questions, describe the top 3 accounts that create the most concern for the audit? Explain why.

2. Looking at the 10-Q filed for the latest quarter ended (quarter ended May 2016), identify any events that are reported in that document that may change any of your answers to questions 1-8 above. Describe how the quarterly information may change your analysis of the information in the 10-K?

 

Creative writing
Requirements: each entry must be at least 125 words.

1. Consider A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson. In her narrative, Rowlandson provides an account of the time she spent in captivity. The narrative documents the abduction of Rowlandson and the death of some of her family members, and clearly one of the purposes of the work is to describe this terrible time in her life. However, the narrative also serves to describe the Native American culture. Rowlandson makes several observations about the similarities/differences in cultural traditions between the Native Americans and the European settlers. Discuss one similarity and one difference that Rowlandson describes. What is her attitude toward these differences?

2.Fight for Freedom. Consider Douglass’s speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” What logic does he use to make his point? His speech contains a lot of emotion, including anger. His anger is certainly justified, but does his anger take away from the effectiveness from his argument? Describe a time when you argued a position you were angry about. Were you able to make an effective argument? Why or why not?

Japanese Internment Camps
History and the Past Argument- Using sources I already utilized in previous paper attachment.

Add your own argument to the established critical conversation about the your historical moment.(Japanese Internment Camps)

In order to make this argument, you will first have to give your readers general historical information about the event, and then briefly describe the

“conversation” that is occurring among scholars of this historical occurrence. Once you have contextualized the current academic conversation surrounding

your event, you will then make an argument using textual evidence that explains which source most accurately illustrate the event you choose. For this

paper you will not only have to argue which source is “the best,” before you do that, you’ll have to define for your readers what “the best” means.

Your paper will rely heavily on research, analysis, and evidence.
