rewrite/give feedback on how to better this analysis and conclusion post this is one of my peers post FACT SUMMARY: After the fire on July 5th on WOD Chemical Company the abnormal high level of sulfur was content the Russian River and the wine producers start to complain that their wine grapes vines were suffering, and grapes were shriveling and dying. Some claim the plant has been dumping Sulfur waste into the river for years, or it maybe came from the fire, or from the different leak on the plant. Trifork Winery has filed suit against WOD for monetary damages. ANALYSIS: The negligence of tort law should contain duty of care, breach, causation and damages. In that case we see the duty of care of WOD Chemical Company to save clean environment and maintaining the healthy environment for the public. The leak of sulfur on the river was caused by something, as checks were carried out throughout the entire time by State Agencies and it’s level was always normal. So, first, we should identify the true reason of the leak. Was it really came from WOD Chemical Company plant? If yes, for which exactly reason? Is it came from the fire occurred on July 5th? Or did they actually dump sulfur waste into the river for the years as it was claimed? The answers on above mentioned questions can help us to understand: Is this case belongs to the negligence of tort law or it is other intent violence of law? However, should be identified the true reason of wine grape vines and grapes damages, because it may have no connection with a leak of sulfur, if so, there is no guilty of WOD Chemical Company up to Trifork Winery. “SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY V. SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY” case during which the decision was overturned stating that a massive natural gas leak at a SoCalGas which causes purely economic loss under negligence theories when the precipitating event was a mass tort, didn’t cause the personal injury, property damage, or the requisite transaction for the seven businesses which filed suit to recover damages for purely economic loss. CONCLUSION: If we can prove that the damages on Trifork Winery were caused by WOD Chemical Company it will be a negligence case and they should b punished for the damages occurred on winery by fines. If the damages are occurred without the WOD Chemical Company fault, the defendant is not guilty and not responsible for the monetary damages. or you can choose this one ANALYSIS: If WOD had taken proper precautions or had the right procedures to mitigate the risk, this wouldn’t have happened. The fire from the overheating machinery has created havoc in the Grapevine. The sulfur from the machinery has leaked to the adjacent river, which has damaged the Vineyard owners’ livelihood. WOD is solely liable for the disaster resulting from a breach of duty of care. There is an economic loss to the vineyard owners due to the dead grapes from the vines and suffering vineyards. There is a potential risk to the people who consume the water that has been polluted with sulfur, which may result in unexpected and grave health issues. CONCLUSION: Since WOD has fulfilled all the four elements of negligence, it is liable to cover all the monetary damages Trifork Winery has faced. Therefore, WOD is liable to pay up for the damages incurred to the Trifork winery. ( this one is the one you wrote last time if you need reference or to remember ) Analysis A fire occurred on July 5th at WOD Chemical Company’s Geyserville sulfur plant. The fire was allegedly caused by an explosion of one of the company’s sulfur tanks due to overheating machinery using a self-made insulating device. The event resulted in the massive dumping of sulfur into the nearby Russian River. In August, wine producers noticed deterioration in their vines, which were withering and dying. Analysis showed abnormally high sulfur content levels, whose source the producers suspected to be the WOD fire or a leak at the facility. Trifork Winery has filed a suit against WOD for resultant monetary damages. Trifork Wineries has filed for damages against WOD. This case will require a review of the negligence theory as applicable, given the available facts and previous relevant court cases. Firstly, WOD Chemicals Company meets the duty element since they knew the adverse effects of their chemical compounds on the local ecosystem. Secondly, the defendant breached their duty to the local community by implementing self-made insulating devices, which a reasonable prudent person’ may have avoided to prevent potential calamity. According to the case of Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Company (1928), ‘It was not necessary that the defendant should have had notice of the particular method in which an accident would occur if the possibility of an accident were clear to the ordinarily prudent eye.’ Thirdly, according to the available facts, the plaintiff, alongside other wine producers, did suffer damages due to the high sulfur contents. Most importantly, the defendant’s negligence was a proximate cause of the plaintiff’s damage because it directly caused the elevation of sulfur levels, which ultimately caused the damage. According to Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Company (1928), there is a ‘natural and continuous sequence between cause and effect.’ Although there is a significant period between the event and its effects, the time the contaminated water takes to seep into the soil and manifest its impact on the vines can explain this disparity. Conclusion The defendant is liable for negligence for the damages experienced by Trifork Wineries ( please let me know if you want me to add some examples of how to rewrite or give feedback to a post ) Tags: sulfur dumping sulfur levels chemical company river analysis statement of facts User generated content is uploaded by users for the purposes of learning and should be used following Studypool’s honor code & terms of service.
Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
