Module 1: Discussion – Introductions

Good day, classmates and Professor!

I want to introduce myself. My name is Greg Dresden, and I reside in America. Here is a little background on where my family is from. My paternal lineage originates from Michigan, while my maternal roots are in Texas; however, I spent most of my formative years in Ohio. I own two dogs, a puppy and a senior canine. I am interested in traveling domestically and internationally, as I want to educate myself about diverse cultures and their environments. These experiences enriched my understanding and appreciation of people from different backgrounds.

I am now studying paralegal work, a field I am passionate about due to my strong interest in law and commitment to assisting needy individuals. Having completed a course in business law, I am now studying business organization. I recognize that these two courses provide distinctly different perspectives on their respective subject matters.

By the end of this course, I will gain a complete understanding of business organization. My previous coursework in business law has provided a solid foundation, and this course delves deeper into the complexities of business structures. Through my exploration, it becomes clear that while business law addresses the legal frameworks governing business activities, business organization focuses on the organization and management of those businesses. I initially thought these two subjects were interchangeable, but I now recognize their unique and complementary roles in the field.

My interpretation of respondeat superior is that an entity, such as a business or corporation, that employs one or more individuals bears a degree of responsibility for the actions of those employees. Each case may differ; the matters of negligence or acceptance of goods will hinge upon the conduct of the company’s employees. If an item or items are delivered and acknowledged by a company employee, it is reasonable to conclude that the company has received the goods in good faith. The employee who signs for the delivery operates under the auspices of the organization they represent. Although the company itself did not physically sign for the delivery, a designated business representative did. Thus, the employee acted within the scope of their authority on behalf of the organization.
