Paper instructions:
I. First, determine what you want to do, (I chose a bread pussing bakery shop). Discuss this idea. Tell why you want to do it and what you expect for growth,
employee numbers, income, etc. both 5 years down the road and 10 years down the road with this business. You have already done most of this part in LU 2. Use your LU 2
discussion thread response to formulate this part of the LU 8 Final Project. II. Second, Review the text Chapters or the internet as to the forms of business – Sole
Proprietorship, Partnership – Limited Partners or not, Corporation or Limited Liability Company. You are to then completely and with substance perform a legal analysis
and analyze and discuss each criteria below. Once you have done that it should yield a decision for you as to your form of business. Your choices are Sole
Proprietorship, Partnership (With/Without Limited Partners), Corporation or Limited Liability Company: 1. Control – How much control of the business do you want? If
you want all control, then you would look towards a form that would give you that. If you are willing to give up control, especially for investment and growth, then
consider that. 2. Tax Considerations – What about tax liabilities? Connecticut does not tax LLC’s. It does have a corporate income tax. Does that matter to you? 3.
Liability for Debt(s) of the business – If the business goes bad or gets sued for more than insurance coverage, will you lose your personal assets; house, bank
accounts, etc. What forms would protect against that and does it matter to you? 4. Investment Considerations – Who/How will you obtain investment for your business? If
it is a sole proprietorship, it is your credit standing that gets you investment. If it is a corporation, you can sell stock or bonds. 5. Any Other Legal Criteria you
feel relevant – Look through the Chapters in the text we used to cover business forms of Partnership, Corporation and LLC and select advantages/disadvantages, what I
call legal criteria that you believe are relevant. Will your business sell internationally now or in the future. If so you probably would not want a sole
proprietorship. Also, do other nations recognize LLC’s. If not, then you would not want an LLC form. You must completely analyze each criteria above for your project
to be satisfactory. III. Third, select a proper form (Sole Proprietorship, Partnership/Partnership with Limited Partners, Corporation, or LLC) for your business and
discuss the two main reasons why you selected this form from your analysis above.

Your assignment is not a conventional research paper. If you would prefer a conventional thesis research paper as an alternative to this assignment, please speak with me. Page requirements and expected effort will be comparable.)

Step 1: Read ,Watch, Pay Attention
Have you come across anything that reminds you of Developmental Psychology? You may choose from print or online magazine articles (Parents, Parenting, Baby Talk, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, AARP, Reader’s Digest, just to name a few), newspaper articles (online or print), editorials, commentaries, advice columns, media columns, items such as pictures, advertisements, or even comic strips or television shows/movies. Personal experiences work for up to 3 of your essays. (You can change names to protect the innocent.)

Step 2: Summarize
Summarize the item you chose above, being sure to include key details. Name and summarize the class topic that this item relates to. For example, an article about “Octomom” can relate to fertility treatments and ethics in medicine.

Step 3: Give me your reaction
What is your response to this article, column, picture, advertisement, show, or experience?
• Does this item agree with the research in our text? Is it a good fit? Why or why not? Now is the time to really think about how developmental psych research touches our lives. For instance, anyone can give advice. You may find an article written by a celebrity that praises co-sleeping with your infant and makes a lot of claims about the benefits of doing so. This celebrity is not a psychologist or pediatrician; they may or may not have valid points backed up by research. Your job is to evaluate the claims being made; critically think about how the claims made by this person are either supported wholly, partially, or not at all by the research and theory in the science of psychology.

• If you choose a personal experience, what issues, theories, or findings does your experience exemplify? Does information from lecture or the textbook give you some clarity or a greater understanding of the experience? Does your experience support or challenge the research?

Step 4: Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you have six essays.
–You do not have to pick from 6 different chapters, but please pick 6 different topics. That is, don’t choose to do more than one essay pertaining to teratogens, but any other topic in chapter 4 is fine. Remember: No more than three of your six responses can be personal experiences.
–Please include a photocopy of the article/editorial/column/picture/cartoon strip that you are using and cite the source. If the article is long (more than 4 pages), then you do not need to make a copy but please give me a full bibliography for the source. If this is an online article, no need to photocopy as long as you give me the direct url address so I can find it.
