Business Law

This week you are going to be doing some general research on the death penalty. Please answer the following questions:

- How many states currently have the death penalty? List them
- What is the average time fram from sentencing till the actual execution?
- Who is usually allowed to witness an execution? This will vary by state, so make sure you tell me what state you are using in your example.
- How many women have been put to death in the last 100 years? Give me an example
- What are the methods currently used to execute someone?
-Are there any states that are currently looking at eliminating the death penalty? How about states that are thinking about adding the death penalty?


Sales and Marketing

One of the concepts we talk alot about in marketing is the concept of promotion. Getting the word out about your product or service through conventional or unconventional means. Many times during your life you will have the opportunity to promote yourself, so we bring up the topic of self promotion. Sometimes it is referred to as networking. Think about all the times you may have to promote yourself: jobs, scholarship, dates, colleges, interviews, marriage proposal, inlaws, or even impressing your teacher during class!! Think about how you would promote yourself as someone I should give 100 points extra credit to. I'm not going to give those points out, but for this assignment do the following:

Look up the concept of self promotion and tell me what you find online (what sort of things pop up on your search). Describe 3

Create a tagline or slogan for yourself which best describes why you would deserve the 100 points. Make sure to describe your tagline

Finally, write a paragraph or listing of reasons (realistic) as to why I should pick you.
