provide an example of a time when you were pleasantly surprised by your interactions with someone in the hospitality industry – where they may have exceeded your expectations, dealt with a problem well, or just in general improved your mood.

Then, provide an example of a time you received not-so-great service and what that meant in terms of whether or not you would ever return to that place of business. Explain how this poor situation could have been handled better – perhaps in a way that would have made you give the establishment a second chance or even a recommendation

Q3

In the global market landscape, Soccer is referred to as football and is extremely popular in most of the world. The sport was slower to catch on at a high level in our country. Therefore, the marketing potential of soccer and star soccer athletes was considerably less in the United States than in other parts of the world for many years.

As we look to the future of sport, why do you think that soccer was less popular in the United States? How did it eventually catch on? What do you think the impact of Messi being in MLS will do for soccer in the US? If you were the person in charge of choosing a sport to use in a marketing campaign for your company, would you consider using soccer as that sport? Why or why not? Please do some market research on your own to support your position.

Part I

Other times, the judge's hands are tied based on the mandatory minimum sentencing laws. This discussion asks you to examine the sentencing and appeal phase of the criminal process.

Please discuss each of the following:

1. Are judges given too much discretion when it comes to sentencing? What are some of the factors a judge looks at when determining an appropriate sentence? 

2. What is the difference between a determinate and indeterminate sentence? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. Do you think mandatory minimum sentences serve any real purpose?
