Citing Images in APA Referencing

Refering to Images in APA Referencing Refering to Images in APA Referencing Most sources you refer to in a school paper will be text based (e.g., books and diary articles). Some of the time, however, you may need to remember a picture or photo for your work. Yet, how would you refer to pictures in scholarly composition? In this post, we take a gander at how this functions in APA referencing. Remembering Images for a Document In APA referencing, â€Å"images† incorporate photos, works of art, representations, charts, tables, and diagrams. What's more, any picture you remember for your work should accompany an inscription. You can utilize the inscription instrument in Microsoft Word to do this, yet you can likewise include subtitles physically whenever liked. The subtitle that goes with a picture ought to do in any event three things: Name the picture so it very well may be recognized in the content (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2). Give a title to the picture or depict what it appears or speaks to. Offer any extra subtleties (e.g., when a photo was taken). A photograph with an APA picture subtitle. On the off chance that the picture is your own work (e.g., a photograph you took yourself), at that point this is sufficient. Also, except if your school’s style manage says else, you don't have to give a reference. Nor do you have to remember your own photos or delineations for the reference list toward the finish of your report. Be that as it may, in the event that you have taken a picture from another source (e.g., a photo discovered on the web), you should reference it in full. We will clarify how this functions in the remainder of this article. In-Text Citations for Images In-text references for pictures can work two different ways in APA referencing. You can essentially allude to a picture in the content. For instance, if you somehow happened to expound on an artistic creation without remembering the picture itself for the record, you would have the option to refer to it as follows: In November 2018, Portrait of an Artist (Hockney, 1972) turned into the most costly show-stopper to sell at closeout by a living craftsman. On the off chance that you do remember a picture for your work, the reference ought to go in the inscription. An APA reference in a picture subtitle. You would then allude to the picture in the content utilizing the name from the inscription (i.e., â€Å"Figure 2† for the picture above). This likewise applies on the off chance that you have acquired a graph or a delineation from a print source (basically refer to the creators and date of distribution for the print source being referred to). In all cases, however, you should include the picture you have refered to the reference list. Pictures in an APA Reference List Similarly as with any source, on the off chance that you have utilized pictures made by another person in your work, you should remember them for the reference list toward the finish of your record. On the off chance that you have taken the picture being referred to from another print source (e.g., a chart from a diary article), basically list the print source. Nonetheless, in the event that you have discovered a picture on the web, the arrangement is somewhat extraordinary: Craftsman Surname, Initial(s). (Year). Title of the work of art [Format]. Recovered from URL For instance, we would list the banner from the model above as follows: Roepp, G. (1943). I’ve secured the position where I fit best! [poster]. Recovered from https://images.northwestern.edu/multiresimages/inu:dil-41913a91-037f-494b-9113-06004a8a98fb What's more, don’t neglect to have your composed work edited. This will ensure that every one of your references are clear and complete in the last draft.

I Love Nike.

I Love Nike. I love Nike.I'm not one of a kind in my adoration for the organization. I'm similar to the more noteworthy dominant part of Americans (progressively people) who seek the organization for athletic footwear and clothing. While I'm not in the developing gathering that has swooshified their whole closet, I perceive as much as the following Fool that they own a predominant situation in the realm of sportin' shoes and apparel.I additionally love Nike's showcasing program.The Company has structured advancements to set up its name as a more grounded brand than the word America. Nike's commercials have lectured comprehensiveness, legitimacy, and soul in a country that doesn't generally prize those.For case, the Tiger Woods advancements have successfully waved a chastening pointer at nation club restrictiveness in America. Furthermore, these advertisements don't just say, Disgrace on you. They champion the possibility that bogus power, restrictiveness and egotism will get clobbered by the char acteristics recorded over similar characteristics that are the Nike shoe, and shirt, and top, and the swooooooooooooooosh.Richard Foo, Collaboration Director, NIKE, Inc.I additionally love their salary statement.Take a glance at the positive business force in the course of the last three years.1996 1995 1994Sales $6.5 bil. $4.8 bil. $3.8 bil.Earnings $550 mil. $400 mil. $299 mil.Net Margins 8.5% 8.3% 7.9%Here's another organization whose deals are developing significantly, however whose productivity is extending at a much more prominent rate.

In the attire and shoe organizations, the probability of broadening edges that high are nil. In any case, Nike's edge extension in the course of the last two years has been outstanding.Not shockingly, the stock has likewise been a turning sure thing over.. .

California Love

California Love Every year our office travels all over the country to speak to students about MIT. The goal of these presentations is to demystify the Institute and our admissions process, particularly for those far-flung audiences that might not otherwise be able to visit MIT or speak to an admissions officer in person. Our destinations fall into roughly three categories: Central Meetings: major events, held at large venues, to which we invite everyone in our prospect database in a ~100 mile radius School Visits: visits to individual high schools Community-Based Organizations (CBOs): visits to CBOs, which may work with students from a region or community who span several different high schools This year, I traveled to Southern California. I spent a week driving all over the region speaking to as many students as I could. Im writing notes for my colleagues about my journey, and I thought Id share some of them with you all to see what its like to be an admissions officer on the road. Tuesday, September 2nd amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;I woke up at 5:30AM and caught a taxi to Logan Airport for my 7:30AM flight direct to LAX. I spent most of the flight napping and reading back issues of the New Yorker. I landed in LAX around 11:30AM PT and picked up my rental car. Because I was in California, my first stop was In-N-Out. I have a confession; actually, its more of a declaration: In-N-Out is not that good. Californians constantly tell me that it is, but I have been to a lot of burger places, and it is not. Instead, In-N-Out is to Californians what Dunkin Donuts is to New Englanders: it is so familiar and uniquely regional that it makes you feel like home. And sometimes thats just as (if not more) important than quality. After checking in at my hotel and changing into my suit, I drove to the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica, which had volunteered the use of its auditorium for our event. About 90 people came, including 8 Educational Counselors (ECs), our alumni interviwers. Afterward, I headed back to my hotel near Beverly Hills and went to bed on East Coast time. Wednesday, September 3nd amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;The next morning I woke up at 6AM and began a full day of school visits. How we pick which schools to visit on any given trip lies in that strange and uncertain space between arbitrary, convention, and intention. My method is to look where I need to be the next day, map out a rough route within that constraint, and then look for schools more or less along it. I prioritize public schools (~70% of MIT undergraduates attended public schools) with strong math and science programs (so that graduates will be well-prepared for MIT), especially those where, based on NCES statistics, I think there are likely to be a number of high-achieving but low-income students who may not have the means to drive halfway across Southern California to come to a central meeting. And then I call their college counselors and hope we can find a time that works for both of us. Some of these schools will send us many applicants and admits, and some very few. My job isnt so much to convince students to apply as much as to help them think about whether MIT might be a good match for them and to help them understand what a selective college admissions process looks like from the inside. So, on Wednesday, I visited: 8:15AM University High School, which has a new digital media magnet program open to all students in LAUSD as well as several small schools focusing on engineering and environmental sciences, where I spoke to about 20 students. 10:30AM Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies, the oldest magnet school in LAUSD, where I spoke to about 12 students. 12:30PM Bravo Medical Magnet High School, which offers a magnet program in health sciences to all students in LAUSD. I spoke to about 25 students who came in during their lunch to hear about MIT. 2:15 PM Clark Magnet High School, which offers a magnet school in advanced technologies and physical sciences for students in the Glendale school district. I spoke to about 25 during the final period of their day. I then kept driving east toward Pomona where, after grabbing a burger and twice-fried (once in duck fat, and then in vegetable oil) fries at The Back Abbey in Claremont, I stopped at Bright Prospect, a CBO which helps mentor and tutor high-achieving, low-income students from all across the Pomona school district. My friend Jamilla, with whom I used to share a cubicle here at MIT before she left to work at Harvey Mudd, and I partnered to give a joint information session on both of our institutions. I then checked into my hotel in Rancho Cucamonga. Thursday, September 4th amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;The next morning I woke up and prepared for my big driving day down to San Diego for the Central Meeting that evening: 8:20AM Cajon High, a high school with an IB program in the San Bernardino school district, where I spoke to about 30 students. 10:00AM Middle College High (San Bernardino), a local chapter of a national charter school program which allows students to take many of their upper level courses at a local community college, where I spoke to the entire senior class. 11:30AM John W. North High, a high school with an IB program in the Riverside school district, where I spoke to about 20 students during lunch. 2:00PM California Military Institute, a relatively new school in Perris, TX, where all students 5-12 are in a JROTC program and are also required to maintain a high GPA. I was only the second college recruiter ever to visit their school, according to the college counselor, and I spoke to about 20 students right at the end of their school day. I then kept driving south to San Diego, where I had a Central Meeting at the Qualcomm corporate offices in one of their major auditoriums. About 300 people came from all over the greater San Diego area, as well as about a dozen ECs. After the meeting, I checked in at my hotel near the airport, went for a run along the Liberty Station Esplanade, caught the end of the Packers-Seahawks game, and went to bed. Friday, September 5th amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Woke up in San Diego, drove north, and began working my way back south: 8:30AM Westview High, a public comprehensive high school in the north San Diego suburbs, where I spoke to about 6 students 10:30AM Canyon Crest, a relatively new public comprehensive high also in the north San Diego suburbs, where I spoke to about 25 students. 12:52PM The Preuss School, a charter school for low-income students who will be the first in their family to graduate from college, and which offers advanced curriculum through a partnership with UCSD (on whose campus Preuss is located). Spoke to about 20 students. 2:35PM High Tech High, a charter school in Liberty Station San Diego which, along with its partner schools (HTH Media Arts and HTH International) offers a project-based curriculum. Their CEO and founder is the former head of Cambridge Rindge and Latin near MIT. Spoke to about 25 students. After leaving High Tech High, I drove across the parking lot to Slaters 50/50, where I ordered a half-beef, half-ground-bacon topped by roasted chiles, red onion, sliced avocado, spicy bbq sauce, and a fried egg. Saturday, September 6th amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Weekends on fall travel are less hectic than weekdays but we still have to work. I woke up early and drove to Oceanside, where I met two friends from high school and their rescue pit bull Molly at Breach Break Cafe for brunch around 10 AM. I then got back in my car and continued north past Camp Pendleton and up into Orange County, where I had a Central Meeting scheduled for 2 PM at Sage Hill School in Newport Coast. I always arrive at least 90 minutes early for a Central Meeting to survey the venue, talk to the tech on hand, and make sure I beat even the most eager prospective students and parents. Even so, some OC folks showed up a good 60 minutes early, beating the beach traffic that hadnt actually materialized. Luckily, we had a large team of ECs on hand to help entertain the early arrivals before the balance of the ~250 person crowd showed up in the auditorium. After the CM ended I got back in my car and kept driving north to my hotel in Torrance near Redondo Beach. After checking in, I found a place called Bluesalt Fish Grill on Yelp. Its location (a somewhat seedy strip mall nowhere near the water) made me initially skeptical but I am glad I trusted Yelp because this place was absolutely bonkers. I crushed unlimited fresh chips + guac + salsa, equally fresh and delicious ceviche, and a plate of cajun salmon with grilled corn, garlic bread, and garden salad for about $20 total. It was around here that I did something Ive never done before: ditched BurgerMap and decided to spend the rest of my time in LA playing the Mexican food game. Sunday, September 7th amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;I really, really wanted to surf while I was in LA, but when I started calling around on Friday and Saturday all the surf shops told me that it would be inadvisable for a novice like me to risk the strong seas churned up by Hurricane Norbert just off the coast. While I still suspect that this was in part a plot to keep newbies like me out of the line so the experts could enjoy the admittedly sick swells, I took the opportunity to take a run along The Strand, a paved bike path along the coast of South Bay. I started down at King Harbor and ran up to around LAX and back for about a 10 mile loop, after which I was ready to house some food and watch the Patriots game, which, in the occult manner of PT football games, began at 10AM. The hotel receptionist suggested I try Kings Hawaiian, a bakery and restaurant just down the block, and I took the opportuninty to refuel with some amazing muffins and a Portuguese donut-thing that if were to be completely honest I am crying a little bit thinking about how good it was right now: Thankfully, the immediate-onset carb coma allowed me to mostly ignore the Mess in Miami and the next thing I remember I was setting up for my next Central Meeting at Redondo Union High. At this point, I literally could (and quite possibly did, never dared to ask my hotel neighbors) have given my MIT spiel in my sleep. The benefit of knowing a speech cold is that it oddly gives you more room to improvise: because you can talk on absolute autopilot, the rest of your consciousness is observing the room, seeing whos engaged and who youve lost, thinking of how you could tweak your delivery on a joke. I know Im really in the zone when I can simultaneously talk about MIT and have a completely separate and parallel internal monologue musing about how I can improve the session Im giving on the fly. Adittedly, it helps when the crowd is composed of laid back SoCal types who greet you with a dude, nice talk, bro in the QA. I left Redondo Beach around 4 and decided to take the scenic route to the San Fernando Valley: north up Route 1 through Malibu, over the Santa Monica Mountains, and back east to Sherman Oaks. Really, I just started driving north on the 1 and figured I would search for a surf shop shielded from the worst of the waves. By the time I got to the Malibu Surf Shack, they were already closing, but not before my boy Matt pointed me just up the road to Casa Escobar, which maintained an unbroken streak of awesome food: Ceviche (mahi-mahi) with fresh guac, salsa, and chips, followed by a carnitas plate with soft tortillas dat taco doe I went out onto the Malibu Pier to digest and watch the surfing competition at Surfrider Beach next door while the sunset. Ill always be a New Englander to my cold, frozen core, but Malibu, I could get used to you. Monday, September 8th The next morning I woke up, went for a run, and then began working my way east through the San Fernando valley before turning south back into LA proper: 8:45AM John Francis Polytechnic High School, a public high school with a math/sci magnet in Sun Valley and home of the Poly 5 you may have heard about if youre from the greater LAUSD area. Jeff Hunt, the EC for Poly, and I spoke to about 100 students from all grades in the Poly library. 12:00PM Van Nuys High, a public high school with both a math/sci and a medical magnet program. I spoke to about 15 students at the college counseling center as well as an entire 11th grade Physics class, and they kindly accommodated me even though a film was being shot on campus the same day. After these two visits, I drove south into the heart of LA to visit i.am College Track (IACT) in Boyle Heights. IACT is a local chapter of the national College Track CBO run in partnership with will.i.ams i.am.angel foundation. IACT, which has been running for three years, accepts 60 students a year from Roosevelt High in Boyle Heights and provides extra mentoring, tutoring, and college advising; next year will be their first graduating class. I spoke to about 20 students here. After I left IACT, I drove into South Central LA, where I met my friend Rogelio at La Carreta. Rogelio grew up in South Central and graduated from UCLA. We were grad students together at CMS and Civic and hes now back home doing his PhD at USC under former MIT Professor Henry Jenkins. Hed promised me real Mexican food under his guidance; I dont know what makes Mexican food real or fake, but now I know mulitas are a thing and that I love them: Tuesday, September 8th amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;My last day in LA was also my busiest: 8:30AM Bell High, a public high with a gifted STEM magnet, where I met without about 80 students, including what I believe were the entire AP Physics and Calculus classes (who were excused to come hear me speak and packed into the college counseling center to do so). 11:00AM Garfield High, a large public high with an AP program (made famous by the movie Stand and Deliver as the home high school of math teacher Jaime Escalante), where I met with about 25 students, many of whom were involved with the local chapter of Upward Bound. 1:00PM California Academy of Math and Science, a nonresidential public STEM magnet on the campus of CalState Dominguez Hills, where I spoke to about 20 students. After CAMS, I drove back north to downtown LA, where I met with students from Iridescent, a CBO which helps students from several high schools in central LA with STEM education and college advising (among other things). A few of their staff are MIT alumni and so the students got to hear several different pespectives on life at the Institute. Then, I drove north to Koreatown and the LA Makerspace, which meets regularly from 3-7PM at the Pio Pico Library to help students with research and technical creativity. Unfortunately, I was held up in traffic, and when I arrived most of the students were gone. However, I got to speak to their Director of Citizen Science, Ariel Levi Simons, who mentors many of the researchers, about our new Research Portfolio. One of the things that I love about MIT (which was not true of my life before MIT) is that chances are good you can find alumni friends wherever you go, secretly running everything, like a nerd Illuminati. Of my graduating CMSW S.M. cohort, several are now in LA, in screenwriting programs, working as video game designers, developing social technologies for hotels, and other cool stuff. We grabbed dinner at Birds and caught up on life at/after MIT. And with that, I drove to LAX, boarded a red-eye at 11:30AM, landed in Boston at 7:30AM, and rolled right into a day of meetings to catch up on everything Id missed on my trip out west. Id driven more than a thousand miles all over southern California, talked to more than a thousand prospective students and parents, and eaten all the amazing Mexican food I could (alas, it is never enough). Just a week in the life of an admissions officer during fall travel season!

Assessment of Ell Students Free Essays

Running head: Assessment Assessment of English Language Learners Student Name Grand Canyon University: ESL 534 August 8 2012 With the implementation of the No Child Left behind Act of 2001, states are required to assess ELL students to determine if students are making adequate progress towards their language development goals. The purpose of the NCLB act is to challenge students to meet higher standards, close the achievement gap, and ensure that all students have the same opportunities to reach their full potential. There has been much criticism regarding the NCLB act and the high stakes testing that has developed as a result, especially when it comes to ELL students. We will write a custom essay sample on Assessment of Ell Students or any similar topic only for you Order Now ELL students not only have to learn required content objectives as other students, but have the challenge of learning the English language simultaneously. Students, schools, and teachers are evaluated with standardized test annually to ensure the initial goals are met. The concern that many have with standardized testing is they do not show the overall progress of the student which may lead to inaccurate results regarding a student’s language proficiency. English Language Learners are a diverse group with different languages, cultures, and backgrounds. Their language acquisition can be effected by many things including socio-economic factors and educational backgrounds. Understanding language acquisition theories can give critical insight into how assessments should be developed. Some of the popular theories of language acquisition include the threshold hypothesis, which states that a student’s language skills need to reach a critical level before students can benefit from bilingualism (Cummins, 1979) and the Critical/ Sensitive period hypothesis which states that students who are not exposed to a second language before puberty will never reach the proficiency of a native English speaker (Bailey Heritage, 2010). According to Hakuta 2000, it takes several years for ELL students to reach the level of proficiency needed to learn new academic content through a second language. This theory and others hould cause educators to question the current objectives that we have for ELL students and the time frame that ELL students have for meeting those objectives. Language proficiency assessments are an important tool used to measure students’ progress as well as record their starting point. Stiggins and Chappuis 2005 argue that students make conclusions ab out their capability of learning based on the assessments that teachers provide. and that â€Å"feedback delivered once a year from standardized district, state, national, or international is far too infrequent and broadly focused to be helpful (Stiggins Chappuis, 2005 p. 2). Stiggins and Chappuis believe that our current educational system places far too much emphasis on assessments and that one test does not provide an accurate measure of a schools or students success. Instead, they argue that student involved assessments are more beneficial for the student and teacher and set the student up for success. With student involved assessments student and teachers work as partners to monitor their achievement creating an environment where students feel secure and know what is expected of them and what it takes for them to meet their goals Stiggins Chappuis, 2005). Within the last ten years there have been numerous debates centered over how or if ELL students should participate in standardized testing. Some have argued that standardized test can be biased against ELL students because they don’t take into account cultural differences in language structure. Standardized test provide only a snap shot of the learning and growth that has taken place for ELL students and is not a way to accurately monitor the progress of students. With standardized testing we shift the attention from learning and building knowledge for the future to focusing on short term results. With unrealistic goals for standardized testing it can be difficult to tell the difference between schools that are serving the needs of ELL students and those that are not. References Bailey, A.

Business Law for Unconscionability - myassignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Business Law for Unconscionability. Answer: Unconscionability is a legal protection against the enforcement of a contract that is unfair to one party. If the contract is unfair that is shows an abuse during its formation, the jury may find it unconscionable and decline to employ it. In most occasions when a court finds an agreement to be unconscionable, they declare the contact as annulled. No issuance of specific performance or compensations is awarded, but in its place, the parties will be relieved from their contract responsibilities (Mccullough, 2016). Other than that, the reason why it may mean that a contract is enforceable under the law is because such contracts favor only the dominant party, thus, making it unfair to the weaker party. The leading cases of unconscionable conduct are in transactions between stronger and weaker parties. It is therefore partly related to duress and unwarranted influence. It is common where a superior party manipulates the weaker party with special disabilities such as old age, lack of education, illiteracy and much more. The transaction is also oppressive and harsh to the weaker partner. Its is also common in business contracts where there are provisions that limit damages against the seller, prevents the rights of the buyer to seek court help against the seller, among others (Mccullough, 2016). Additionally, it is also found in acts of deceit and fraud. It is whereby one party deliberately misrepresents a fact that deprives an individual of an expensive possession. The main reason why such laws exist in the business world is because it is used to limit the dominant parties from fraudulently manipulating the weaker parties in business contracts. It is meant to reduce exploitation of the consumers who are poorly educated, less fortunate, and cannot be able to get the best price available in the competitive trade (Mccullough, 2016). On the other hand, it prevents the undue influence, whereby one party practice unreasonable authority to make the other party sign the contract. Additionally, it used in business to prevent the use of threat to make other parties agree to the contract. Furthermore, it prevents the dominant party from limiting their liabilities to breach of contract. There are various characteristics of the unequal bargain that must or might demonstrate unconscionability. These characteristics may include duress, undue influence, unfair surprise, limited warranty, and unequal bargaining power. To start with, duress is a situation where one party uses threats so that to make the other party agree to the contract terms and conditions. It can be physical or any other form of threat. For example, the seller may refuse to release the goods rightfully until the other parties append his signature on the contract. Additionally, undue influence is a situation whereby one party practices irrational pressure to make the other party signs the contract. This happens under circumstances where one party takes advantage of the other party in one way or the other. Moreover, unfair surprise takes place when the party who developed the contract inserts a term in the agreement without the awareness and anticipation of the other party (Marrow Penn, 2013). Furthermor e, limiting warranty is a situation in which one party tries to minimize their liability for damages that may be as a result of his actions. Lastly, unequal bargaining power happens where one party has an unfair advantage over the other (Landrum, 2014). It occurs when the dominant party obviously knows that the other party lacks the knowledge of what the contract entails. A good example of these characteristics is when a business broker requires a customer to sign an agreement, but within the accord, he inserts a difficult term to understand. The broker writessuch terms using tiny fonts and placed the phrase in a manner that will mislead the customer to sign in the unwarranted term. The legislation that supports the principle that a contract may be so unfair that it is unenforceable is section 2-302 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Under this Act, if the jury finds that any section of the contract could have been unconscionable at its time of formation, the court may refuse to put into effect the agreement (Landrum, 2014). Additionally, the court may also implement the remainder part with no unconscionable section, or it may stop the application of any section that is unconscionable so that to avoid an unconscionable outcome. Moreover, when it appears to the court that any of the sections of the contract or if the contract is unconscionable the parties shall be awarded a sensible chance to present evidence as to its business situation, reason and effect to help the jury in deciding the case. The doctrine of unconscionability got formed when it was realized that some contracts would be injurious to one party, despite the available limiting public policies, that the court should be able to practice some manner of discretion (Landrum, S 2014). The judge, in such cases, is permitted to interpret the situation and to introduce her own understanding of what is to be treated as unconscionable or conscionable within her jurisdiction under the court of law. Courts concentrate on the size and the setting of the business transaction to see whether the deceptive or authoritarian tactics were applied. It also examines if there was the use of fine print in the contract, for example, if the contents of the contract were readable to all parties. Additionally, the court also scrutinizes to know the familiarity and education of the party that claims for unconscionability (Landrum, 2014). Further, examines the situation to know whether there was a disparity in the bargaining power. However, for the court to decide on the case, it first analyzes whether there were actual conditions of the contract that unreasonably favors the party to whom unconscionability is recommended. Being that the courts have been reluctant in addressing the issues concerning the unfair or unequal business between the bank and the consumer has really favored the banks and other larger institutions. In most cases courts have ruled cases in favor of the bank because of the contract term and conditions. Where the courts have looked entirely at the written document to determine the rights of each party, the creditor, which is the bank, prevails. In many cases contract laws have failed to provide debtors with enough remedies against the tortuous conduct of creditors (Winter, 2008). However, the real importance of debtors win lies in the recognition of some courts, for example, the Australian Part 2B of the Victorian Fair Trade Act 1999 that has tried to hold the banking industry to high values of good faith and conduct. In 2003 Australian government introduced a new Section 2B of Victorian Fair Trade Act 1999 and made it a law. This provision of Part 2B of nullifies any term in a customer contract that is not fair. In banks, if a contract condition or term that imposes a cheque is unfair according to Part 2B of the Fair Trading Act, it will be nullified, which is fairly different from whether it is unenforceable or not as a fine under the law (Winter, 2008). Section 32W of the Fair Trade Act shows that in a consumer contract a phrase can get observed as unfair if, contrary to the requirements of good faith and in all the circumstances, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties rights and obligations emerging under the contract to the detriment of the consumer (Consumer Action, 2013) Moreover, article 32X also presents directions as to whether a condition or a term may get considered unfair. Therefore, it can be said that Part 2B renders dishonor charges unenforceable by financing institutions against customers. Banking sectors are still entitled to recover defaulter's cost, but they are not entitled to use penalty fees when recovering the cost they have incurred due to customers who have defaulted. Under Part 2B of the Victoria Fair Trading Act, penalty fees might be annulled as unfair (Cornell, 2016). Because banks are not disclosing the accurate cost of the customer defaults, it will remain difficult for both the regulatory authorities and customers to conclusively or accurately make an assessment of whether dishonor fees are penalties or liquidated damages. However, given the complexities that an individual customer may face, especial the low-income consumers, in trying to stop penalty fees charged on their accounts by banks, it is, therefore, vital that the regulatory authority take charge. The regulatory authorities should imperatively take steps in safeguarding the customers and stop the financing institutions from stressing their customers by charging lawfully unenforceable fines. From the readings I have had, I found the case between Centerre Bank of Kansas City v. Distributors, Inc. to be an interesting one with regard to unfair agreements and the attitude of the courts when making a decision on the enforceability of a contract. The debtors bought a business after they had been promised by the bank that it would continue with the companys line of credit. The debtors were told by the bank's credit officer that the bank will only continue with the credit line if they will personally guarantee the loan. However, the loan officer failed to disclose to them that the bank considered the loan at a risk, and was, therefore, arranging to demand full payment of all the money that previously had been disbursed. Depending on the assurance from the loan officer, debtors bought the business and submitted their personal guarantees to the bank. After three days, the bank continued with its arrangement of demanding full payment of the credit. The debtors surrendered their bu siness assets to the bank because of failing to find another financing. After the bank liquidated the business assets, they realized was less and decided to sue debtors in which they collected further $400,000 on the guarantees that debtors provided (Rich, 2004). The debtors decided to countersue the bank by challenging that the bank fraudulently made a misrepresentation. The also claimed that the bank breached the agreement of good faith and fair dealing. After jury ruling in favor of the debtors, the bank forwarded an appeal. The court of appeal held that the written contract was an integrated agreement. The court found that the written contract gave the bank privileges to demand payment at any time and that the bank auction was acceptable (Rich, 2004). The court also noted that the relationship between the debtors and the bank was based on borrowing and lending and that debtors were not owed a fiduciary obligation to the bank. Additionally, the failure of the bank to disclose its plans concerning the loan did not make it fraudulent. Consequently, the court stated that the conduct of the bank was fair and in good faith. The role of the consumer advocate groups regarding unfair agreement are: (1) to support the vulnerable Victorian customers who are facing financial difficulty. (2) Promoting the financial counseling sector by using its casework, law reform, and advocacy, to take up and uphold best practice. (3) working with the government, utilities, debt collection, banks and other stakeholders to improve approaches to financial problems for defenseless customers (Consumer Action. 2013). My research showed that there are other similar groups to Financial and Consumer Rights Council (FCRC) Victoria. Some of such groups may include: Australia Service of social Service (ACOSS), which is known to be speaking on behalf of the low-income and underprivileged customers in matters regarding economic and social principles. Consumer Credit Legal service Western Australia (CCLSWA), that offers advice and representation to consumers in Western Australia. Consumers' Federal of Australia. This group's role is to forward the view its member organizations to industry and government and are supporters of consumers. Financial Rights Legal Centre (FRLC) New South Wales, which is an organization offering advice for consumers in financial stress. Financial and Consumer Rights Council (FCRC) Victoria, which is a non-profit organization that lobbies for policy development through discussion with caseworkers performing financial counseling services, among others. On the other hand, one of the issues in Australia that demonstrated the characteristics of unconscionable by a vendor who supplied vacuum cleaners to various ladies who were over 80 years of age. The case was ACCC v Lux Distributors Pty Ltd in 2013 (Jade.io. 2013). Australia Competition and Consumer Commission won the case against Lux Distributors. References Consumer Action.(2013).
