Who is Taking Our Information?

There are a number of different groups looking to gather

information on people, because information can lead to
knowledge and knowledge is power. Luckily for the people
looking for information, the Internet makes it easy to gather a
large amount of information quickly. WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange described the Internet as the “greatest spying
machine the world has ever seen” (Kingsley 2011).

The Concept of
“At Work”
WHY?

• “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to

be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some
difference that you have lived and lived well.” (Emerson,
2018)
How do you define work?

• To perform work or fulfill

duties regularly for wages
or salary.
• Work should be about
doing something you want
to do every day, not
drudgery.
In the context of meaning in the workplace, how
do you define abundance?
• An abundant organization
enables its employees to
be completely fulfilled by
finding meaning and
purpose from their work
experience.
What can be done to create a workplace that fosters
relationships?
• Leaders can model healthy relationships at work.
• They can encourage people to get to know each
other by making time, space, and resources
available for them to do so.
• They can try to catch people in the act of being nice,
thanking and encouraging them.
• They can set up ways to teach and coach people in
the skills of good relating, such as good listening,
being curious about others, apologizing effectively,
controlling anger, and letting go of slights—some of
the specific skills people can learn and practice that
will help them enjoy others and be easier to like.
LITIGATION
Litigation

• Litigation is the term used to

describe proceedings initiated
between two opposing parties to
enforce or defend a legal right.
• Litigation is typically settled by
agreement between the parties,
but may also be heard and
decided by a jury or judge in court.
The 6 Common Types of Litigation

• Business and Commercial Litigation

• Public Interest Litigation
• Personal Injury Litigation
• Mesothelioma Litigation
• Civil Litigation
• Patent Litigation
Business and Commercial Litigation

Commercial and business litigation occurs when a dispute

between individuals or business entities is brought before a
court. Disputes can occur at any level of business.
Public Interest Litigation

These types of litigation is a fairly new field of law. These

lawsuits are initiated by the courts in order to protect or
maintain the well-being of a community. Any person or
corporate entity whose actions damage or inhibit societal
progress may face legal punishment.
Personal Injury Litigation

Parties seeking these types of litigation go to civil court in

order to obtain legal remedy for losses suffered due to an
accident. Injured parties seek financial compensation from
parties whose conduct either intentionally harmed them or
carelessly caused them injury.
Mesothelioma Litigation

In the 1960s the general public became aware of the

serious health hazard associated with asbestos exposure.
Mesothelioma refers to the cancerous disease that occurs
when a person comes into contact with agents such as
abestos. Mesothelioma has become so prevalent that
mesothelioma litigation has become a common legal
practice. Mesothelioma litigation typically occurs when
companies knowingly exposed employees to deadly agents
such as asbestos without warnings or protections.
Civil Litigation

• Civil litigation refers to legal disputes between two or

more parties that seek monetary settlements rather than
criminal sanctions. Civil litigation is handled by trial
lawyers or litigators who specialize in this type of
litigation.
Patent Litigation

When one party infringes on another party's patent or

trademark, the infringed party may file a lawsuit to enforce
their patent rights and claim illegal use of their patent or
trademark. These patents or trademarks can be for
inventions, goods, or programs.
