So here’s the hypothetical case study:
An old woman thinks that her land is rich in gold and can be sold for lots of money. she hires a geologist to check out her land and it turns out that there is no gold, but instead a lot of oil (which she is unaware of). the old woman would like to sell her land for a fair price so she can give the money to her children/grandchildren, but the geologist would like to buy the land from her for cheap so he can let a petroleum company dig oil there (he also has stocks in this company). should the geologist tell the old woman about the oil, or should he keep it a secret then buy the land for way less than it’s actually worth?
So far I thought of:
No – Deontology
deceiving her fails at least two of the three categorical imperatives of Kantianism
Yes – Utilitarianism
he could make more money than the woman, and spend it more wisely/ spend it towards humanitarian efforts instead of letting the old woman’s relatives have it (who knows what they would use it for?)
I also need to bring in a few of: Corporate Social Responsibility, Marketing, Financial, Law, and Environmental Ethics. I feel this is part that I’m having trouble coming up with ideas.

alright well, my daughter and i live in the state of massachusetts. im a single mother and shes 13. she had a severe anxiety disorder along with rarely severe OCD. it contains her and i both to the house. she throws up constantly from stress, and had back problems from holding so many knots back there. we both cry at least once a day usualy, and the condidtion she lives with is horrible. we are both very spiritual, so dont get us wrong, we love god and we feel blssed that it isnt something more than this. anyway, do to mydaughters severe condition, it was getting hard for her to hand write because her OCD and anxiety always gave her bad thoughts in her head, and when she would write words on a paper at the same time of thinking those bad thoughts, she would feel like it would definetly happen, since the bad thoughts would get cought between the pencil and the paper, or something like that, im not really sure how she discribed it. so her work strted to fall behind and her teachers started to give her more stress, so she ended up crying in school, which is something she hasnt done k or 1st grade. shes a very stong girl!so it was so hard for me to watch my baby go through this everyday, she stayed home for about 2 months. then the school filed against us. so we went to court and the judge ruled that she had to go to school. after court is over im going to try to get her into some sort of program such as home tutoring so she can not be so stressed, (at least until her meds start working.) before the whole court thing came up i was on the right track with this but them when the truency issue came up, they started ignoring me! i cannot homeschool because as a single mother i have to make a living. i dont know what to do anymore! shes even been asessed at a mental hospital! pls help me! do i have any options after the whole court thing is over?
btw- my daughter has always been in spectrum and the top classes since she was 8 years old, she doesnt usually get lower than an eighty on a test, and she is very bright.
sorry this was so long, i just want help for my daughter! thank you so much!

The issue of the shotgun came up near the border.
“I told him that we probably shouldn’t take the shotgun with us,” McDonough said. “And he said, ‘No, I’m going to get it cleared with customs at the gate.’ So I said, ‘That’s fine. As long as it’s legit.’ ”
The Customs and Border Protection agent said it was all right to take the shotgun, McDonough said, adding that the agent told them: “ ‘All you have to do is register it.’ So they gave us a piece of paper and said, ‘This is your registration. You’ve got to pay this much.’ They gave us the piece of paper to give to the Mexican authorities.”
As soon as the Winnebago lumbered over the bridge and they handed over the form to Mexican agents, trouble began. The two spent several days in custody, separated from each other. Mexican authorities eventually freed McDonough, perhaps because of his Argentine residency, and he walked back to Brownsville.
On Aug. 18, Mexican prosecutors leveled serious charges against Hammar. Curiously, it wasn’t the type of shotgun that broke Mexican law. It was the length of the barrel, which the formal citation said was shorter than 25 inches, although a discrepancy has emerged over how the barrel was measured.
“It’s a glorified BB gun,” Olivia Hammar said.
Indeed, Mexico’s criminal groups routinely wield AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, high-powered .50-caliber sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and other potent weaponry. If Hammar had any intention of causing mayhem, using his great-grandfather’s proud firearm would have been like Daniel Boone and his muzzle-loading Tick-Licker fighting a modern U.S. Marine.
Back in April, the Dallas truck driver, Jabin Bogan, carrying 25,000 pounds of ammunition in his 18-wheeler, said he got lost in El Paso en route to a delivery in Phoenix. When he lurched to a stop at the Mexican border, asking to turn around, a Customs and Border Protection agent told him it was impossible. He was told to enter Mexico and make a U-turn. He had no passport and couldn’t speak Spanish.
The ammunition was openly displayed on nine pallets in the truck, most of it of a caliber unsuitable for the AK-47 and AR-15 rifles favored by Mexico’s cartels.
Mexican prosecutors charged him with crimes that could have brought more than 25 years in prison.
“My son was not trying to deliver no drugs or no guns to nobody,” Bogan’s mother, Aletha Smith, told an ABC-TV affiliate in Texas.
Through pressure from members of the U.S. Congress, Bogan was freed Nov. 23, and he returned to a tearful reunion in Dallas with his family.
While his ordeal was difficult, Hammar’s has been worse.
Once Hammar was sent to a state prison in Matamoros, mixed in with the general inmate population, late-night phone calls began to his parents in Palmetto Bay, Fla.
“They said, ‘I have your son. We need money.’ I said, ‘I’m going to call the (U.S.) consulate.’ They said, ‘The consulate can’t help you.’ Then they put him on the phone. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/12/06/176603/latest-hell-for-ex-us-marine-chained.html#storylink=cpy?storylink=addthis

I have it like this:
The U.S. government also published six signs of a housing scam. The first sign is when a company or person asks for a fee in advance for any type of loan modification. These types of fees are prohibited by the Federal Trade Commission.
The second sign is when a company or person guarantees that they can stop a foreclosure or get your loan modified. There is no one other than the company lending you the money that can do this.
The third sign is when a company or person advises you to stop paying your mortgage company and pay them instead and there is never a situation where anyone should receive a payment other than your mortgage company.
A fourth sign is when a company insists that they can help as soon as a person signs over the title to a home and then hands you any paperwork that you haven’t read or don’t understand.
A fifth sign is when a company claims to offer government approved loan modifications. And there are many agencies that pretend to be affiliated with the federal government that aren’t really federally “official.”
Last but not least, a sixth sign that a company is scamming you or someone else is when they ask you to release personal financial information.
Also, I am using this and that excessively in this paper. What are some other words I can use?

Is being a good fiction writer like being a good singer? Like you’re either born with crazy imagination or you’re not? I’m not a very good writer(I’ve been told so by good writers that this is so) and it just feels like I can’t wrap my head around how to write what I see on the paper and I can’t tell if what I’m writing sucks, and I’m bad at putting words in the right order so it doesn’t sound smooth.

I read the following sentences in a medical paper:
“These cells were used to derive S1 cells that have a number of mutations, but when injected into NOD/SCID mice are nonmalignant; when cultured in 3D, laminin-rich basement membrane gels that recapitulate the normal niche, they ‘growth-arrest’ and form structural mimics of mammary acini found in vivo.
“These cells form nonpolarized, disorganized masses in 3D cultures that do not ‘growth-arrest’.
I don’t get what ‘growth-arrest’ means. Can anybody help me?
