Assignment 3: Leadership and Decision Making
Due Week 8 and worth 150 points
We have witnessed many Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) directors, each with their unique style of leadership, throughout U.S. history. Some directors are noteworthy for their achievements, while others are infamous for their lack of performance.
Using research on the Internet and various Strayer library journals or databases, research FEMA directors’ actions over the past thirty (30) years during major U.S. emergencies and crises.
Write a five to eight (5-8) page paper in which you:
Select one (1) FEMA director whom you believe performed admirably during a major U.S. emergency or crisis. Next, analyze the role this director took during the emergency or crisis. Provide a rationale for your response.
Select one (1) FEMA director whom you believe performed below standards during a major U.S. emergency or crisis. Next, analyze the role this director took during the emergency or crisis. Provide a rationale for your response.
Determine one (1) major decision that each director you selected from Question 1 and Question 2 made which changed the course of recovery from the disaster dramatically. Next, evaluate the level and extent that this decision affected disaster recovery. Provide a rationale for your response.
Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other related websites do not qualify as academic resources

I would like you to write one essay in two subtitled sections regarding (500) Days of Summer. In the first section you will discuss how Tom perceives Summer. In the second section you will discuss how Summer perceives Tom. In these short essays, I’d like you to back up your ideas using Berger’s Ways of Seeing, as well as Benjamin’s Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/benjamin.htmLinks to an external site.). In other words, how does the film’s images, both technologically and culturally, prove your points in both sections? I am aware that due to the fact that Tom is the protagonist, you will have more clear evidence to support your argument regarding Tom’s point of view rather than Summer. However, I still think there are enough details from the material in the film that involves Summer to make an argument for how Summer perceives Tom, in a completely different way from how Tom perceives Summer, in the same relationship.
Please use concrete examples from the film, and quotes from both texts, using MLA to cite your sources.

The Question (ANSWER ALL PARTS)
Part (a)
Paul was playing golf with two friends at his local golf course in a weekend golf competition. Paul hit a drive and proceeded to walk forwards along the fairway towards where his golf ball landed. Paul was approximately 50 metres from Wayne when Wayne decided to hit his golf ball. Wayne thought it was safe to hit because Paul was near a line of trees that provided some cover. Unfortunately Paul is hit in the face by Wayne’s golf ball.
Paul is considering bringing legal proceedings against Wayne.
REQUIRED
Will Paul be successful if he brings legal proceedings against Wayne? In your answer refer to relevant sections of theCivil Liability Act2003 (Qld) and to any relevant case law.
(10 marks)
Part (b)
Paul is also considering bringing legal proceedings against the Golf Club. He believes that the Club should have installed protective fencing to allow players and spectators to safely move along the side of fairways without being struck by golf balls. However the club say that they cannot be liable because they are protected by wording that appeared on the back of a scorecard.
Peter, who was playing golf with Wayne and Paul when Paul got hit, was handed a scorecard by the Golf Club. The scorecard contained the wording:
“This golf club accepts no responsibility for any loss, harm, injury or death howsoever suffered by any person that enters this golf course”
The writing on the back of the scorecard was particularly small and Paul has difficulty seeing small print. Further, Paul states that he never saw that scorecard. Although, Paul is a regular player at the course and has on numerous occasions been the player responsible for keeping score by using scorecards supplied by the Club (that contained the exact same wording on the back of the card).
REQUIRED
Does the wording on the scorecard protect the Golf Club from liability in relation to the injury Paul has sustained?
(10 marks)
Part (c)
Worse is still to come for Paul. Paul does not seek any medical treatment for his injuries. He believes he merely has some slight concussion and a bad scar from the incident. However, after two weeks his eye sight starts to deteriorate. It turns out that there has been some permanent damage to his left eye as a result of the incident.
A specialist report from medical professionals reveals that if Paul received treatment in relation to his eye within 48 hours after the incident he may have avoided permanent damage.
Paul is furious because his weakened eyesight means that he can no longer work as a commercial airline pilot. Paul retires from his job as a pilot.
Without the income from his job, Paul is forced to sell his investment property. Paul believes that the housing market is at a 5 year low. Paul’s real estate agent told Paul that if he was able to hold onto his investment property for another 12 months he would make $50,000 more on the sale. Paul says he must sell to cover his living expenses.
Paul believes he is entitled to an order for damages resulting from the incident at the Golf Club. Paul wants to claim all his future medical expenses in relation to his left eye, plus 10 years’ worth of lost income (he was due to retire in 10 years), plus $50,000 loss resulting from the early sale of his investment property.
REQUIRED
Advise Paul regarding damages. Which amounts can Paul claim as damages resulting from the incident at the Golf Club?
