Class Action Research

Generally, one plaintiff brings suit against one or two defendants.  In class actions, however, a group of plaintiffs with related claims collectively bring suit against one or two defendants.  Some plaintiffs may be unaware of the lawsuit or even unaware they were harmed.

Research to find a news article regarding a completed class action (has either reached judgment or settlement, not pending).

Answer the following questions:
1.    Who are the plaintiffs?
2.    Who are the defendant(s)?
3.    What are the plaintiffs claims (contract, property, tort, product liability, etc.)?
4.    What was the outcome of the case (judgment for what amount, settlement, etc.)?
5.    What are the long-term social consequences of a class action such as this one?

interview paper

This report should be easy and perhaps even fun. Your job is to interview an older person (a relative, a parent, guardian, aunt or uncle, or acquaintance). A grandparent or great grandparent is even better. Ask them about their experiences with new communication technology (e.g., television, cable TV, the Internet, texting). For example, do your parents remember their first computer, or the first time they went on the Internet? Do your grandparents remember their first television set? Ask them to describe the experience. How did it affect their lives? Write up a 200 400 word report (not a verbatim transcript) of your interview. Include your reaction to their experiences. What surprised you? What did you find most interesting? Do you see any similarities with your media experiences?

Guidelines:

It’s no surprise that schools in wealthy communities are better than those in poor communities, or that they better prepare their students for desirable jobs. It may be shocking, however, to learn how vast the differences in schools are – not so much in resources as in teaching methods and philosophies of education.
Scholars in political economy and the sociology of knowledge have recently argued that public schools in complex industrial societies like our own make available different types of educational experience and curriculum knowledge to students in different social classes. 
Choose a Movie from the list below.  After watching the movie identify the Movie according to the four Social Classes.  Write a one page summary of the movie and the reason why you identified it as a Working Class School, Middle Class School, Affluent Professional School or an Executive Elite School according to the descriptions of each Social Class listed below.
