Sociology Reading Journal

/in /by

Need help with my Sociology question – I’m studying for my class.

ASA format. 12 point font double spaced. 1 page for each reading minimum.

2 total readings. 2 pages. 2 separate quotes. Each reading on separate page.

Reading theory is challenging, to say the least. It often requires multiple readings, “googling” terms you do not understand, and a general tenacity that can be difficult to muster. Journaling will help with this.

Directions:

  1. Read the requiring readings. (Webber – The Spirit of Communism, Marx and Engles – The Communist Manifesto)
  2. After you have read the piece, identify with a quote that you believe best summarizes the main argument, or one of the main arguments, of each piece.
  3. Title your journal entry with the author and title of the reading.
  4. Type the quote you chose at the top.
  5. Explain why you think this quote best summarizes the argument. This means you will write—in your own words— a paragraph or two on how you understand the piece and how the quote reflects that understanding.

Suppose that economists observe that in a closed economy an increase in government spending of $10 billion raises the total demand for goods and services by $30 billion.* If these economists ignore the possibility of crowding out, what would they estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) to be?* Now suppose that the economists allow for crowding out.  Would their new estimate of the MPC be larger or smaller than their initial one?Suppose that the government of a closed economy reduces taxes by $20 billion, that there is no crowding out, and that the marginal propensity to consume is 3/4.* What is the initial effect of the tax reduction on aggregate demand?* What additional effects follow this initial effect?  What is the total effect of the tax cut on aggregate demand?* How does the total effect of this $20 billion tax cut compare with the total effect of a $20 billion increase in government purchases?  Why?

A used old model testing machine was donated to a University by a company one year ago. It is expected that this machine will continue to serve its function for ten more years provided that a maintenance agreement is signed with another firm requiring 10 yearly payments of $9,000 each, with the first payment made now. A new model can be leased for ten years. The terms of lease include maintenance. For leasing the new model, a payment of $40,000 is due now and $40,000 will be due in 3 years. Should the old model machine be replaced now, at MARR = 10%?How to deal this problem with present worth method, incremental present worth method and incremental IRR method?

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Assignment and discussion forum in sociology Week 9 Part a and Part b. It needs to be at least 1000 words. Poverty is the immediate result of any sort of stratification, whether it is domestic or international. There have been many public and private enterprises aimed at the alleviation of poverty at the national and international level. In this respect, the contribution of micro credit envisioned by professor Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh deserves primary attention. Micro-credit aims to create economic and social development among the poor sections of the society and it is built on the awareness that “lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty” (Prof. Muhammad Yunus & Grameen Bank Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize for 2006 ). The plan of micro-credit to provide ‘loans to the poor people without any financial security’ has been beneficial not only to the people of Bangladesh but to many other poor sections of the society in other parts of the world too.

Women all over the world have from this joint endeavor of Yunus and the Grameen bank as the micro-credit system has helped women empowerment and addressed, to a large extent, the question of global feminization of poverty. It has proved to be “an important liberating force in societies where women in particular have to struggle against repressive social and economic conditions” (Prof. Muhammad Yunus & Grameen Bank Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize for 2006). It is an acknowledged fact that economic growth and political democracy of a nation enhance surprisingly when women are provided equal opportunity and participation like the males. One can never think of women empowerment unless and until poverty among them is tackled.

As global poverty and various social and economic problems associated with global poverty contribute to global inequality, it is high time that international organizations took effective measures to wipe out global poverty from the poor and economically backward nations.
