Alma Home Products designs, manufactures and sells home cleaning products.  Alma creates trademarks to enhance the marketing of its products and many of the trademarks are illustrations that are intended to create familiarity with their products.  Alma began marketing a new line of garbage bags called “Fresh-scent” and it put a symbol on each garbage bag and on the box in which it sells the garbage bags that was identical to the “f” symbol used by Facebook (the well-known social media site and app actually owned by Meta).  The symbol (which is a registered trademark of Facebook) is familiar to all of us:                              Facebook has sued Alma alleging trademark infringement under the Trademark Dilution Revision Act which modified the Lanham Act.  Alma believes it has done nothing wrong because it and Facebook conduct business in completely different markets – home cleaning products versus social media – so there can’t be any confusion in the marketplace.   Which of the following answers is correct?

You’ve likely heard arguments about changing the term limits for House members (making them longer); putting a limit on the number of terms a person can hold; or placing age limits on holding House seats (i.e., you cannot be elected to the House if you’re over the age of XX). Think for a bit about the constituency represented in the House, and the fact that the House is designed to be responsive to popular will. Create an argument in which you explain, in detail, how apportionment, single member districts, and gerrymandering impact representation. In your conclusion, explain whether you think the proposed changes (changing terms for House limits, age limits, etc.) would be sufficient to address challenges to representation. Remember, this isn’t an opinion piece. You’re using academic language to make argumentative statements, you’re using your readings to provide support for those statements, and you’re using real world examples to “show” your reader that something is true (rather than just telling them). Your reflection must follow all mandated guidelines detailed in the syllabus. You must parenthetically cite each of the weekly readings at least twice in your reflection using correct APSA formatting. Your reflection must be submitted in 5-paragraph essay format. Your reflection must be a minimum of 30 sentences.
