Pop Culture Assignment

– FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED NEITHER TO CITE NOR USE REFERENCES, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO DEMONSTRATE CREATIVITY AND OF COURSE MAKE A GOOD ANALYSIS. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO OBTAIN THE IMAGE/THING YOU ARE GOING TO ANALYZE FROM THE INTERNET, THE REST HAS TO BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Popular Culture Assignment:

Terrorism has had a large impact on cultures and societies throughout the world. In particular, terrorism is increasingly influencing the face of popular culture (also known as “pop culture”). What is pop culture? Pop culture is defined as “cultural activities or commercial products reflecting, suited to, or aimed at the tastes of the general masses”, especially youth and young adults (Dictionary.com). Examples of pop culture are found in popular music, print, sports, entertainment (television, movies, etc.), leisure, advertising, etc. For this assignment, you are tasked with finding an example of terrorism being referenced in/by an item of pop culture. For example, you may find a song, television show, or movie that includes lyrics or dialogue about terrorism. Or, you may see a t-shirt or poster that references a particular terrorist group or terrorist. You may even find an action figure or bumper sticker that references terrorism in some way. It can be something you find on the internet or in daily life. Also, your example can come from any country as long as you are able to accurately decipher and convey the meaning of it. Once you find your example, take a picture or screen shot of it. Then, write a summary (300-500 words minimum) describing what your example is, where you found it, how it demonstrates terrorism in pop culture, and any other comments/incite you have.

Bonus: I challenge you to try to find the most unique/interesting example possible. I will choose a select number of students’ examples to discuss during lecture. (Examples will be discussed anonymously.) Students will vote in class on which one they think is the most unique/interesting. The winner will receive 2% extra credit added onto their final cumulative score for the course. The student with the winning example must be present to receive the extra credit. If the student is not present, the extra credit will go to the example with the next highest votes where the student is present.

Note: Nonfiction documentaries or books about terrorism do not count.

Construction Law, Contracts and Dispute Resolution

 

Objectives:
1. To impart a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the background to and working of the legal system in England and Wales and create a framework of the legal skills and legal discourse relevant to the practice of a quantity surveyor, with specific reference to construction contract law and other forms of liability relevant to the construction industry.
2. To prepare students for the commercial environment by appraising the various approaches which may be utilised to implement and manage various contractual arrangements.
Task Outline:
The task is to prepare a professional report not exceeding 2,000 words in length, referenced appropriately, relating to the contractual remedies and practical solutions which may be available to the project team in the event of a substantial delay caused by an unexpected issue on site as described in the scenario below.
Scenario:
You are the client’s quantity surveyor. Your firm has been engaged by the University of Portsmouth for some time to develop proposals for a project to extend the Portland Building. This proposal involves the construction of a new full-height wing to the existing building (to match the opposite wing) on the site of an existing electricity substation which will have to be incorporated into the new building or relocated. You have now completed tendering procedures and the contractor has been appointed.
Possession was given to the contractor last Monday in accordance with the contract, which is JCT SBC 2011 with quantities, with provision for sectional completions. The first major task was to excavate the car park ready to install the piled foundations for the new wing, several substantial brick structures which appear to be ancient fortifications have been uncovered by the contractor during excavation work.
One of the tender drawings included a note suggesting that some archaeology may be encountered and tenderers should include this in their bid, however no further specific provision was required in the tender documentation or Bill of Quantities.
The lead designer has made it clear that should access to these existing structures be required by any third parties, an instruction for suitable steps and/or ladders and support to the excavations will have to be issued.
Write a brief for the client advising on the implications of this situation. You should consider the general principles of contract law and the specific provisions of the contract. Evaluate the potential solutions to the various issues which may arise from these circumstances. Refer to general legal principles and case law where relevant to support your points.
Coursework submission and deadline:
Coursework should be submitted electronically through the Moodle drop box in accordance with SCES rules by the deadline shown above.
Learning outcomes (numbers relate to the Unit Descriptor Learning Outcomes):
1. Appraise the mechanisms by which the law relevant to the Construction Professional is enacted and developed.
2. Critically discuss the obligations most commonly imposed by law; those arising from the contract or negligence of the parties.
4. Assess and evaluate contract principles and relevant case law relating to construction disputes and assess the management needs resulting from these particular issues, recommending the most appropriate procedures and remedies available to the parties to a dispute.
Reading / References:
This is a professional report style, so there is unlikely to be a substantial amount of academic referencing although you will need to refer to contract clauses.
Any academic references you use should be properly cited and referenced in accordance with the Harvard APA method.
Grading scheme:
Appraisal of relevant issues relating to the law of contract and any statutory law affecting the circumstances or potential issues which may arise from the scenario: 30%
Critical discussion of the obligations imposed by the contract in the circumstances: 30%
Assessment of the contract principles relating to the scenario and evaluate contractual and practical solutions to the issues: 30%
Presentation: professional report format with appropriate referencing 10%.
