Dо NOT use AI оr plаgiаrize in аny оther way on your answer. This will lead to a zero for this question and may carry additional sanctions. I want to hear YOUR thoughts and your words on this question. Although appropriate capitalization and grammar is appreciated, you will NOT be graded on your writing. It is your thoughts that matter. On January 20, 2025, newly elected President Trump issued an executive order (EO) banning "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) programs and considerations (White House, 2025). The EO directs the federal administration and agencies to: Terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, positions, and programs in the federal government. Terminate equity-related grants and contracts. Repeal prior executive orders designed to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace, including a decades-old executive order from the Johnson Administration that required contractors receiving federal funds to take active steps to prevent discrimination and address barriers to employment opportunities. On January 21, 2025, President Trump attempted to extend his ban on DEI into the non-federal government entities (i.e., private businesses, educational institutions, etc.), including the threat of canceling government contracts and withholding federal funds (White House, 2025). As you know from our course, the film "Race: Power of an Illusion" (RPI) has a particular point of view on the notion of going "colorblind" - that is, "not seeing race" as a matter of public policy. Questions: Do you think the creators of the RPI film would support President Trump's executive orders on DEI? Please explain. In a separate paragraph, do you think these executive orders will help reduce racial-ethnic inequality in the U.S.? Please explain. In a third paragraph, please share your personal thoughts on these executive orders and DEI in general? Supportive? Against? Please explain your reasoning. An example illustrating your thoughts is encouraged. NOTE: Though there is clearly an immediate affect on federal agencies and administrative workers, as well as a chilling effect on non-federal institutions and businesses, the courts are still sorting out what is or is not legal with these executive orders.
QUESTION 1 – 8 POINTS This questiоn is bаsed оn а true stоry. NBA stаr, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) and his partner, Hailey Summers, purchased a luxury home for $6.1 million. Four days after they purchased the home, a stranger knocked on the door of the new home and demanded, in a very threatening manner, to know the whereabouts of someone named Aiden Pleterski. Neither SGA nor his partner knew anyone by that name. The stranger became irate, returned to his car but refused to leave the property. Unbeknownst to SGA or his partner, Aiden Pleterski was the self-described “Crypto King” who had defrauded investors out of tens of millions of dollars and was involved in multiple lawsuits and bankruptcy proceedings. Unnerved, SGA and his partner called the police and reported the incident. When the police called SGA back the police informed him that they had previously received multiple reports of people trying to break into SGA’s home before he purchased the property, and that these issues were known to Gupta (the individual that sold the house to SGA and his partner). It was reported that the “Crypto King” had defrauded some “very bad people” and that some of those people had threatened to burn down SGA’s new house. Multiple other “very bad people” started visiting the property at all hours of the day looking for the “Crypto King.” SGA and his partner were terrified by this turn of events and they moved out of their newly purchased dream house, never to return. As noted, SGA had purchased the house from Gupta. Gupta did not disclose the fact of these security issues to SGA or his partner because, as he stated, he knew that anyone buying the house would want privacy and security. Instead, Gupta stated to SGA that the house was “private and secure.” Gupta later stated that he did not disclose the security issues because “any purchaser who could afford to spend in excess of $6 million on a luxury home would clearly be able to afford increased security measures for the home.” Required – 8 Points: SGA and his partner filed an action to rescind the purchase of the home as a result of Gupta’s fraudulent misrepresentations. SGA and his partner were successful in their lawsuit. In separately numbered or lettered paragraphs identify each of the elements of SGA’s fraud claim.
