Luke wanted to sell his home for $125,000. Laura was interested in purchasing Luke's home and sent him a written offer to purchase it. Subsequently, Luke made a few changes to Laura's offer and her a letter, informing her that he was accepting her offer as amended. Laura received the letter and then notified Luke that she was dropping out of the transaction. Luke was upset with this and filed suit against Laura for breach of contract. How would the case be decided? What social forces and ethical values are involved in this scenario? Assume now that Luke was selling beauty products over the internet and Laura had clicked "I agree" when she viewed Luke's site and proceeded to order products. Luke sent Laura the products, however, Laura refused to pay, claiming that she did not make a contract because it was done online. How would the case be decided?
