Discussion Question
Negligence and Product Liability are two of our main topics for this week. Negligence is an "unintentional tort" because it happens by accident. Product Liability arises when one is injured by a defective product.
Consider the scenarios below. Choose one and determine if it describes negligence or product liability. Explain your answer and be sure to discuss the elements of any claims that may arise.
• Daisy is driving in her car when her phone chimes. She picks up her phone and sees a text from her friend. While responding to the text Daisy runs a red light and causes an accident.
• Janet just moved from Florida to Minnesota and is enjoying the scenery of a beautiful snowfall when she sees a person slip and fall on the ice on sidewalk in front of her house.
• Larry is a lumberjack. He decides to purchase a new chainsaw. The first time Larry uses the chainsaw the product malfunctions and Larry is injured.
"Chapters 8 and 9"
Discussion Option 1:
A battery is a device that (generally) uses a chemical reaction to produce a potential difference between the terminals (the positive and negative ends of the battery). It is like a "pump" or an "elevator" for electric charges. A battery moves charges "uphill" and then lets them "flow down" the hill through the device it is powering. That could be your phone, your flashlight, or the electrical systems of your car.
The battery works a lot like a water pump:
When the battery's chemical reactants run out, your battery "dies".
Have you ever had to "jump start" the battery of your car?
When you do this you should connect the positive terminal of one battery with the positive terminal of the other one (see the diagram below), then when you start the car with the good battery, it will force charges through the dead battery and let you start the other car.
Think about this process and answer the following questions:
1. Why do we connect the positive to the positive terminals? What does this do to the charges flowing in the wires?
2. What would happen if we connected the positive terminal of the "donor" to the negative terminal of the dead battery? What would happen to the charges then?
Please respond to two people in the discussion thread. Make your responses direct, respond to specific things that the people are saying, and include personal experiences if relevant. Let's make our discussions fun and interactive!
Discussion Option 2:
Refer to the section marked "Discussion Questions (Evaluation)" at the back of each of the assigned chapters (Chapters 8 & 9):
1. For each chapter, pick one of the discussion questions to address. Copy the question into the forum, along with your answer (see example, in Weeks 2 and 3). We are looking for a post for each chapter.
2. Reply to at least two fellow students with a follow-up question, comment, or a different perspective on their discussion questions.
