help me disscusion

/in /by

I need an explanation for this Economics question to help me study.

Disscusion

1) In your description of that famous Econ major explain how that person exhibited the property of “thinking like an economist.” This will require some internet research. It is recommended that you view the posted video prior to answering that question. Please do not duplicate your fellow students’ introductions in that effort, otherwise you will be asked to re-post.

Be sure to tell us what your undergraduate study is in, where you are located, what you do in your spare time and what you hope to learn in this class. Feel free to ramble a little and tell your classmates about you.

PS: you dont need write sources first discussion

2)

In the American Economy, the roller coaster known as the business cycle is a never ending phenomenon. The recurring expansions and contractions of our economy are measured by changes in real gross domestic product, the unemployment rate and the inflation rate.

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A complete cycle typically lasts from five to nine years, but could extend to ten years or more and shorten to four years. It is divided into four phases — expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. Unemployment inevitably rises during contractions and inflation tends to elevate during expansions and worsen during the peak. To avoid the inflation and unemployment problems of business cycles, the federal government frequently undertakes various fiscal and monetary policies (which we will study later in this course).

Drawing on Chapters 7 and 8 of our text, for this week you are to provide an example of either of the two extreme phases of the cycle (peak or trough) that you personally observed, experienced or learned about.

For the phase that you selected, tell us briefly what you think caused that particular phase at that time. In other words, what forces were at work in the economy that you believed led to that phase taking hold.

Your initial post is due Thursday at 11:59 pm CT.

Responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 pm CT. Respond to a minimum of three of your classmates’ postings.

Make sure not to repeat what one of your classmates has said, otherwise you will be asked to re-post (if you want credit, that is). Lastly, additional references (besides out textbook) should listed using either the MLA or APA formats; you need not identify our text as a source.

Discussion Post Requirements and Due Dates

In this class you must present well thought-through and substantive first entry. It is also expected of you to respond to other students’ entries at least three times (politely). Be concise but complete. You will receive a grade for this so think your comments through carefully. Economic concepts always score higher too.

3) Drawing on Chapters 5 and 6 of our text, select one of the following two topics to discuss for this week. You do not need to post to both.

Option One – Select your Favorite Tax

From your observations as a participant in the American Economy, identify one tax which you have seen impact a community, producers or consumers. Explain what impact you that that tax has had. Be sure to tell us whether your selection is a good tax in your opinion?

Tax

Option Two – The Government’s Role in the Economy

From your observations as a participant in the American Economy, identify one government function to discuss which you believe is under-utilized or overused in our economy? Explain what you would change in the appropriation and why.

Use the terminology from your textbook (found below the video) and indicate specific passages and arguments for each fallacy you find.

Fallacies of Argumentation

Ad hominem argument: attacking a person’s character or circumstances rather than focusing on the relevant facts. The Latin term ad hominem means “against the man.”

Appeal to false authority: citing the expertise of someone who lacks appropriate credentials

Bandwagon appeal: recommending a course of action on the grounds that everyone else is following it

Begging the question: making a claim on grounds that can’t be accepted as true because those grounds themselves are in question

False dilemma (also called an either-or choice): misrepresenting an issue by offering only two possible alternatives, one of which is made to seem vastly preferably to the other

Equivocation: using ambiguous language to mislead someone

Faulty analogy: making a comparison between two things on the basis of merely superficial similarities while ignoring significant dissimilarities

Faulty causality (also called doubtful cause or post hoc fallacy): making the unwarranted assumption that because one event follows another, the first event causes the second. The entire Latin term for this fallacy is post hoc, ergo propter hoc, meaning “After this, therefore because of this.”

Hasty generalization: drawing an inference from insufficient data

Non sequitur: using irrelevant proof to buttress a claim. The Latin term non sequitur means “it does not follow.”

Red herring: an attempt to divert attention away from the subject at hand

Slippery slope: predicting without justification that one step in a process will lead unavoidably to a second, generally undesirable step

Straw man: oversimplifying or mischaracterizing an argument to more easily refute it

Cooperative learning involves more than students working together on a lab or field project. It requires teachers to structure cooperative interdependence among the students. Attitudes and perceptions affect students’ ability to learn. Learning occurs best when the development of positive attitudes and perceptions is made part of every learning task. Students learn to think positively about themselves, their peers, and the material they are learning.

All research projects and thesis must include a search and review of relevant literature. This should provide background for the project and/or provide the basis for the methodologies being used in the project. For example, if you are developing a Web

I need support with this Science question so I can learn better.

All research projects and thesis must include a search and review of relevant literature. This should provide background for the project and/or provide the basis for the methodologies being used in the project. For example, if you are developing a Web site for a customer, you might focus on the software tools you use and when they might be used or a topic such as usability, if that is your focus.

You are to locate research articles on your pre-approved topic. You are to write a no shorter than 5 page summary (double spaced) of the general theme(s) of these articles as it pertains to your topic. This summary should serve as the background/foundation for your research project. You are expected to provide comparison and contrast of findings from different articles and discuss the limitations, gaps and controversies (if there is any) that exist in the literature. A reference listing the articles should also be included at the end of your review (this does not count toward your page limit).It is anticipated that you will review 10 – 15 scholarly articles, technical Web sites, or books. APA latest edition should be followed for all work that is submitted.

After learning about Catholic Social Teaching, apply chosen lessons to areas of Business Ethics we have covered so far (business and the good life, justice, social responsibility, technology, advertising and marketing, product liability, whistle-blowing, the environment, etc.)

Choose one topic within Business Ethics. Formulate three questions relevant to your topic using three different key principles of CST. Then  answer your own questions. An example (using the topic of honesty and trust in business) might be, “Can respect of human dignity be maintained if a business is not completely honest with its customers?”

Restrict your application and analysis to a maximum of three pages (typed, double-spaced). Aim for depth over length. Do not waste time with unnecessary introductory or concluding formalities. Instead, compose a succinct and penetrating analysis.

LIT 202 3 Weeks assignments

/in /by

I’m working on a Literature question and need guidance to help me study.

week 1:Before the study guide is due, you have two forums. For this one, I ask you to do the following:

  • Ask a question that connects two of the readings you have done so far this week. You might ask your classmates to compare, or to react to, or to explain something. You might ask them to apply personal experience or to connect to the current day. Up to you.
  • Next, pick one person to respond to by the same deadline. As always, no late work, proofread your post for full points, and when you reply, type @Student name so we can trace who talks to whom. Points: 8 for post, 12 for answer.
  • due feb 27

week 2:Here, I want you to comment on a theme or idea that you think connects two or more of the texts you read over the last two weeks. Anything you want to comment on is fine, but you must use a quote from one of the two works you are referring to.

So if you want to comment on, say, how music plays into literature of this time, you might quote from Ginsberg or Brooks, showing us how lyrical the poems sound when read aloud. Again, anything you think is a common thread.

Reply to a classmate, agreeing, commenting, complimenting, questioning the connection this person made, same deadline. 5 points. As always, no late work, proofread your post for full points, and when you reply, type @Student name so we can trace who talks to whom. Due march 6

week 3:

American Literature since 1945 (click this on the TOC and the author names will appear)

  • Introduction (essay)

    1. What was happening in history at this time that affected the United States?
    2. How did this history affect literature?
    3. After reading the intro, what kinds of themes, ideas, or stylistic features do you expect to encounter over the next two weeks?

  • Timeline

    1. Just look it over. No questions

  • Audre Lorde, intro and any one poem (you pick)

    1. Who is Lorde?
    2. Which poem did you pick and what is your reaction to it?
    3. Why do you think Norton included it in this section? I mean, what do you think Norton hopes students will get from this poem? Or, if not in Norton, why do you think he is anthologized by the Poetry Foundation of America?

  • Welty, intro and Petrified Man

    1. Who was Welty?
    2. The story has features of newness but it also hearkens back to earlier American writing in the use of local color and regional details. How does Welty seem to connect the literary traditions of the past while still emerging as a writer of this new era?

  • Bellow, intro and Adventure of Augie Marsh, Chp 1

    1. Who was Bellow?
    2. The story is decidedly urban. What about it makes it a city story and how does that relate to America at this time?
    3. Comment on how women are portrayed in this story.

  • Brooks, intro and We Real Cool and any one other poem (you pick) and then pleasego here to hear her read “We Real Cool” alou (Links to an external site.)d (poems are of course supposed to be heard! They are music!):

    1. Who was Brooks?
    2. Comment on the musical quality of “We Real Cool” after reading it and hearing her read it. How does she create that sound?
    3. What other poem did you pick?
    4. From the poem you picked, quote a favorite line or one you think really has a particular effect. Explain the effect. Please quote poetry correctly too!

  • Spiegelman, (intro and From Maus)

    1. Who was Spiegelman?
    2. Why did he choose a graphic novel for this recording of history?
    3. Tell me your reaction to Maus. Like it? Dislike? Why?
    4. What makes this literature uniquely American, in your own opinion?

  • Baldwin, intro and “Going to Meet the Man”

    1. Who was Baldwin?
    2. What would you say the “moral” or lesson of the story here is?
    3. Comment on Baldwin’s use of language. Look at his words, and also the words he gives his characters. What does his style suggest about the author himself?
    4. Is there a current/modern connection in this story and our daily lives right now?

  • Ginsberg, intro and “Supermarket in California”

    1. Who was Ginsberg?
    2. Read the poem silently, then aloud.
    3. Comment on the language. You should be looking for alliteration, assonance and consonance (Links to an external site.). (Links to an external site.) You can look those up if you don’t know what they are. I am interested in your reaction to the aural experience of the poem.
    4. Do you think this poem has a “meaning” or is it like a piece of abstract art, meant to be savored but not understood?
    5. And if we think that art can serve this purpose, pleasure and playful, refusing to be conventional, is this a kind of rebellion that might reflect somehow on the time it was written? Think about the 1960s and how that time was a breaking from convention and tradition of the 1950s.

  • Silko, intro and “Lullaby”

    1. Who was Silko?
    2. React to Lullaby. Like it? Not? Explain.
    3. Is there a current/modern connection in this story and recent events in American? I’m thinking of Native Americans in the news in the recent past.

  • Lahiri, intro and “Sexy”

    1. Who is Lahiri?
    2. The story shows culture clash, something very huge in this period of time. Give me two examples of eastern culture clashing (or meshing) with western culture.
    3. Lahiri is a master of indirect characterization, meaning she shows, not tells, you about people. Tell me something you know about one of these characters, through something they do or say (or don’t do or don’t say), rather than something Lahiri writes specifically about them.More on indirect vs direct characters at this link (Links to an external site.)

  • Diaz, intro and “Drown”

    1. Who is Diaz?
    2. Drown captures two American phenomenon: a boy growing up in American, and a multi-cultural boy growing up in America. Which details do you think could apply to most any boy growing up in America, if any? And which do you think apply specifically to the experience of a multicultural boyhood? Find two of each, or if you think there are only multicultural details, and no universal details that would apply across all/any boys, find four examples of the multicultural boyhood experience.
