As jurists, one area of concern is the legal e-commerce system and its fate during and after the pandemic. We are attempting to implement e-commerce in order to analyze the state of the economy during and after this state of public health emergency. E-commerce is a remarkable and unprecedented phenomenon. We seek evidence to convince ourselves of this. Specifically, the mechanisms by which the concept of emerging diseases, in our case, covid-19, is imposed. On the other hand, we examine emerging configurations asso- ciated with ecommerce, legislative, and regulatory frameworks. The purpose of the research is to focus on consumer protection issues in e-commerce law, such as infor- mation exchanged within businesses, unfair commercial practices, the security of on- line payments, data protection and confidentiality, dispute resolution, and cross-border electronic transactions.","PeriodicalId":39163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues","volume":"24 1","pages":"9-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44261103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an attempt to address the Problem faced by Arab family companies, namely the ambiguity of roles overlapping tasks, lack of discipline and reflection of family problems on the performance and growth of the company due to the absence of a structure for the governance of these companies. The research used survey methods, and literature review and then the development of indications and opinions and make comparisons and simulations, in order to extract indicators and evidence from them. The research concluded with the development of a model of corporate governance that seeks to unify the components of the various models and their indicators within a single model to avoid defects in these models and gain their advantages and make all practices understandable, easy to implement and review. The research presented a set of recommendation as follows: Testing the model developed in this research and to show its strengths against its weaknesses in preparation for its adoption in the governance of Arab family companies. The need for intensive education on the importance of corporate governance and its necessities. This can be achieved through workshops and seminars.

Barkacs","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvzcz5f5.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvzcz5f5.13","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION The lead plaintiff in the Hooters weight bias case is Cassandra Smith, who interestingly measures out at 5'8\" tall and 132.5 pounds. (Roth, 2010). One popular measure of fitness that has gained currency in recent years is the so-called Body Mass Index (BMI). According to the BMI, which is determined by a combination of height and weight, Smith has a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9, which is considered to be in the normal range. How normal? Well, that range is characterized as follows: \"People whose BMI is within 18.5 to 24.9 possess the ideal amount of body weight, associated with living longest, the lowest incidence of serious illness, as well as being perceived as more physically attractive than people with BMI in higher or lower ranges.\" (BMI Calculator, 2010). As a caveat, however, since Body Fat Percentage calculations use total body weight and not estimates of lean muscle mass and fat, BMI cannot determine between the overweight and the more muscular (in other words, you could be incredibly fit and muscular and your BMI would indicate you are overweight). Hooters has never made a secret of the fact that they hire attractive women as waitresses in their chain. In fact, the Hooters Restaurant Mission Statement explicitly establishes that such woman are a part of their identity: We are committed to providing an environment of employee growth and development so that we can provide every guest a unique, entertaining dining experience in a fun and casual atmosphere delivered by attractive, vivacious Hooters Girls while making positive contributions to the communities in which we live [emphasis added]. (Hooters Restaurant Mission Statement, 2008). According to the Hooters website, \"[T]he element of female sex appeal is prevalent in the restaurants, and the company believes the Hooters Girl is as socially acceptable as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, or a Radio City Rockette.\" (About Hooters, 2010). NO MALES NEED APPLY The Cassandra Smith case is not the first time Hooters has faced a legal issue involving their practice of featuring only attractive females as servers in their restaurants. In 1991, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) began an investigation of Hooters for discriminatory hiring practices against men. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on gender. The EEOC's investigation into this issue lasted for several years. In 1995, Hooters of America struck back: . . . probably the greatest marketing coup came in 1995 when Hooters of America hired a hairy male actor and dressed him in a Hooters waitress outfit to poke fun at allegations that Hooters restaurants discriminated against men. Hooters of America ran full-page advertisements showing \"Vince\" in USA Today and the Washington Post. But more importantly, according to then vicepresident of marketing Michael McNeil, television camera crews showed up at every Hooters restaurant in ","PeriodicalId":39163,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues","volume":"14 1","pages":"105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68862389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
