    According to Grenier, the Tolmans sought other counsel to conclude the transaction with Farmer, and “public record reveals that Frank W. Tolman Sr. signed a discharge of the mortgage on September 20, 2013 indicating payment in full of the mortgage at that time.” Tolman Sr. alleges that during the sale, Grenier submitted notarized paperwork that he and his wife did not sign, and that the final price of the property was never discussed with him. Additionally, he asserts that Grenier has put him at risk for being sued by Farmer due to a “cloudy title”, and that Grenier’s actions have opened him up to a tax audit by several different agencies. RESPONDENT’S…

    What is an argument? Fineman describes it as a clash between at least two people or parties over facts and ideas and in the search of answers. I think what makes Howard Fineman, in particular, required to make these arguments is the fact that he has reported on every presidential campaign and major candidate since 1983; as well as traveling in and writing about over 40 country and every state in the U.S. except North Dakota. Throughout all of his travels and all of his reports about politics here in the states Fineman has learned so much about the ins and the outs of how our country operates. I would imagine one would challenge his qualifications by stating that he never actually held any political offices so he would not know “everything”.…

    Another reason would be that Andrew Jackson loathed paper money. The reasons why Jackson didn’t trust banks were understandable - his early business career had been plighted with a tightening credit, and he had been financially damaged by speculation. However, there was no real reasoning for Jackson to start what would later become the Bank War. After his reelection, Jackson was convinced his opposition of the bank won national support. Jackson vetoed the Bank Recharter Bill, which called for an early renewal of the Second Bank’s charter, but he knew renewal after the charter expired was still possible.…

    Andrew Jackson has expressed many of his concerns relating to the removal of the “Indians” and it has caught my attention. What made my brain whirl with confusion was when Jackson stated “And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian?” This quote could possibly be the number question that states the mindset of many Native Americans because in order for the present American came to be, land must be stripped, lives must be lost, treasured must be stolen. The way people’s mind work is different and this can be due to greed for gold or power. When the Native American’s home was taken away, they cannot feel happy to have their peace disturbed and have their loved ones murdered.…

    Within “The Banking Concept of Education”, Paulo Freire explains how students are suffering from not being able to extend their own knowledge. It only goes as far as filling student’s minds with information and expecting them to memorize everything or like said in Freire’s essay, “receiving and storing deposits” (216). Freire was considered as “one of the most radical educators around the world”. This idea of banking was developed in the 1970’s. Freire believes that education is suffering due to this method of teaching.…

    Promissory Estoppel Essay

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This essay seeks to discuss the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel and the Doctrine of Consideration, as well as a clear analysis, with the use of case law, how Promissory Estoppel has become an exception to the general principle that a promise may only be enforced if it is supported by good consideration; it will ultimately conclude whether or not a promise to accept a smaller sum in discharge of a larger sum, if acted upon, is binding notwithstanding the absence of consideration. A contract is a legally binding agreement in law between two or more parties, which is enforced by law or by binding arbitration if it covers the elements of a valid legal agreement. For there to be a valid contract, three elements must be present, offer, acceptance, and consideration. If there is no consideration, there is no contract; however, with promissory estoppel instead of consideration, if there is a promise which induces reliance, the court would find some sort of liability for the promise.…

    As we all know, history is something that we can learn and grow from, basically because it is something we can use as an example to repeat or not to repeat so we do not make the same mistakes again. That is the best thing about history, because we can grow from the past in order to make for a better tomorrow, something I believe Andrew Carnegie did. Although Andrew Carnegie was a very controversial influence in this time period, there are always several sides to every story. Andrew Carnegie was a very wealthy and influential man to many people during this time period, while on the other hand he was called a robber baron, which suggested he only did what he did to treat himself, not others (Hewitt and Lawson 493). Andrew Carnegie, “eventually…
