Homer's negligence caused an automobile accident with Bart. As a result of the collision, Bart's car collides with a telephone p

ole, causing it to fall. The falling pole then takes out some electrical power lines. The resulting power outage leaves Patty without any light in her apartment. As she fumbles in the darkness, she trips over her cat, falls, and is injured. Patty sues Homer. In order to avoid liability, Homer's best defense is that:
a. there is no actual cause between the negligence and the injury.
b. there is no proximate cause between the breach of duty and the injury.
c. Bart's car was the one that collided with the telephone pole.
d. the electrical power lines should not have have fallen under the force of a car.

Answer:

B. there is no proximate cause between the breach of duty and the injury.

Explanation:

In law, proximate cause is a situation when the action of the defendant is directly causing the negative situation that happened to the other party.

From the case above, Homer could try to argue to the judge/juries that the reason why Patty tripped is because of her cat rather than his crash.

The judge and juries can either agree or disagree with homer depending on their personal outlook of the situation. But nevertheless, it's the best defense that Homer has.

The ethical dissonance model looks at the ethical fit of the organizational and individual values. The optimal fit for an indivi
Luda [366]

Answer:    A. High- High

Explanation:  Ethical dissonance as such arises due to inconsistencies in attaining and maintaining a moral image of oneself and being tempted to exploit some unethical situation for the sake of personal gain. In other words, it is the interaction of the company / organisation and the individual with the aim of adapting the individual and the organisation in different possible situations and scenarios. It is a two-way process because the ethics of an individual influences the organisation, simply the individual enters his / her  ethics. Also the ethics of the organisation influences the behaviour of the individual.

Of the four possible fit models / options, high-high is one of two fit options that have a high person-organisation fit. So this is a model that provides a fit relationship between the organisation and the individual. When an individual has a high level of ethics, and organisation too, fit with an organisation of course high. That's the case here.

There is another high fit, therefore the agreement of organisations and individuals, but this is not the case here, when a person is of low ethics. Then for that individual it is a high fit of course if it is also a low ethics organisation, such an organisation suits a low ethics individual.

The other two cases of fit are when there is a low level of fit between the organisation and the individual.
