behavior , practice , and discipline varies among professions and reflects the needs and values of the professional society in question .
Let ' s then assume professional roles as we work on this fictional scenario :
It ' s 2020 , and General Foryota Company opens a plant in which to build a new massproduced hover-craft . This hover-craft will work using E-85 Ethanol , will travel up to 200 mph , and will reduce pollution worldwide at a rate of 10 percent per year . It is likely that when all automobiles in the industrial world have been changed over to hovercrafts , emission of greenhouse gasses may be so reduced that global warming may end and air quality will become completely refreshed .
However , the downside is that during the transition time , GFC ' s Hover-Vee ( only available in red or black ), will most likely put all transportation as we know it in major dissaray . Roadways will no longer be necessary , but new methods of controlling traffic will be required . Further , while the old version of cars are still being used , Hover-vee ' s will cause accidents , parking issues , and most likely class envy and warfare . The sticker price on the first two models will be about four times that of the average SUV ( to about $ 200,000 .) Even so , GFC ' s marketing futurists have let them know that they will be able to pre-sell their first three years of expected production , with a potential waiting list which will take between 15 and 20 years to fill .
The Chief Engineer of GFC commissions a study on potential liabilities for the Hovervees . The preliminary result is that Hover-vees will likely kill or maim humans at an increased rate of double to triple over automobile travel because of collisions and crashes at high speeds -- projected annual death rates of 100,000 to 200,000 . However , global warming will end , and the environment will flourish .
The U . S . Government gets wind of the plans . Congress begins to discuss the rules on who can own and operate Hover-vees . GFC ' s stock skyrockets . The Chief Engineer takes the results of the study to the Chief Legal Counsel , and together they agree to bury the study , going forward with the production plans . The Chief Project Manager , who has read the study and agreed to bury it , goes ahead and plans out the project for the company , with target dates and production deadlines .
Our class is a team of young lawyers , project managers , engineers , and congressional aides who are all part of the process of helping get this project off the ground . In fact , according to the first letter of your last name , you are the following team : A-G : Attorney on the GFC team H-N : Project Manager on the GFC team 0-S : Engineer on the GFC team T-Z : Congressional Aide
