[order_calculator]EVALUATE THE FOLLOWING:
“Although taxpayers foot the bill for federal water sold to farmers at subsidized prices, they also eat the crops grown with that water. Because the crops are cheaper due to the subsidized water, taxpayers get back exactly what they put in, so there is no waste from having subsidized water for farmers.”
Use references (if any) according to the Chicago Manual of Style, author-year (aka APA style).

[order_calculator]a) Get you focused on reading and researching, as well as turning up to lectures and tutorials;
b) Get you thinking critically about the material you read;
c) Make you aware that the issues we focus on are all contested and debated: there are no ‘right’ answers;
d) Encourage you to evaluate as well as to summarise, and to evaluate by use of analytical skills, not simply opinions;
e) Get you to write succinctly. When you have few words, you have to get straight to the point, and that means you have to know exactly what the point is!
Here are two book chapters by leading international scholars reflecting on conditions of uneven development in the global political economy, what causes them, and how conditions of poverty might be overcome. Both are detailed arguments from alternative perspectives, one liberal and mainstream and the other critical and heterodox.
Jeffrey Sachs, The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time (Penguin, 2005): Chapter 2: ‘The Spread of Economic Prosperity’; and
Ray Kiely, The New Political Economy of Development (Palgrave, 2007): Chapter 7: ‘Globalization, Poverty and the Contemporary World Economy’.
In this assignment you are asked to compare the perspectives of these two authors.
1) Identify some points of similarity and difference between their approaches. In particular, focus on 2 or 3 differences.
(Total of 300 words, of which about 200 should be spent on differences. The focus here is on identifying key points difference. Marks will be awarded for your ability to identify points of similarity and difference with precision).
2) Jeffrey Sachs is generally understood to be a ‘liberal’; Ray Kiely a ‘Marxist’. Identify what these terms mean in the context of global politics and identify how Sachs and Kieley (or perhaps do not express) these traditions. To do this, address the points of difference you identified in question 1, and consider how their differences are explicable in terms of their different traditions.
(Total of 300 words, of which no more than 100 should be spent on identifying the terms – so it is just a definition, not a detailed exposition – and 200 on the using these theories for explaining points of difference. Marks will be awarded for your ability to show succinctly the connections between theoretical traditions and analytical statements).
As word totals are restricted and the assignment takes the form of 2 x 300 sections, there is no need for an introduction or conclusion to the overall assignment. For formal essays, by contrast, introductions and conclusions are vital. For this short assignment only, the style of writing associated with academic blogs might be worth consulting.
To recap from the above information, there are many examples of scholarly blogs but you might find the following useful:
1) Adam Morton’s personal blog, For the Desk Drawer, interesting for its accessible and scholarly engagements: http://adamdavidmorton.com/ and
2) The collective blog Progress in Political Economy (PPE) that carries relevant content to the unit at: http://ppesydney.net/
There is no need to give quotations in your writing (again because the word limit) but do use footnotes where needed (use no more than 10 footnotes). You are expected to use sources beyond the reading kit (but you may also find reading ahead in the reader useful for other outlines of general theoretical perspectives and orientations e.g. on uneven development). About 6 references, including Sachs and Kiely, will suffice. Other sources can come from the web or books and articles in libraries. Just remember that, just as Sachs and Kiely take ‘positions’, so too will the authors of the sources you read, and so should you!

[order_calculator]Nancy Fields is the purchasing manager for a manufacturing company that had sales last year in excess of $127 million. The firm makes electrical components for Boeing’s Dreamliner Aircraft. Her boss, Robert Douglas, gave her the task of choosing a vendor for a $100,000 contract for a production line component. The company procedure is for the purchasing manager to ask vendors for proposals (usually 10) and then choose the one providing the required specifications at least cost. Nancy, however, has been given the names of two vendors by Robert and asked to pick one. On further probing, Nancy finds out that of the two companies being considered, the spouse of a board member owns one and an influential politician owns the other. She is very concerned the short list serves the interest of some senior executives in the company. Choosing vendors in this manner violate company guidelines. However, her boss has been firm in his instructions to pick one of the two. She feels his directive sets an undesirable and unethical precedent.
1. What would you do?
2. How would your view change if you were likely to lose your job if you violated the boss’s direct order?
3. Naturally, Robert Douglas has a boss. How would he view Doug’s instructions to Nancy? Should Nancy give some thought to the fact Doug has a “superior?”
4. How important are ethics to a leader and the success of an organization?
5. Why is “doing the right thing” often difficult? What is the relationship between utilitarianism and doing the right thing?

[order_calculator]HAND-IN ASSIGNMENT: ANALYSIS OF PHENOMENA FROM QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE PERSPECTIVES
Qualitative and quantitative research approaches are based in different philosophies. Qualitative research examines the individual
perspective of a phenomenon while quantitative research tends to emphasize findings that can be demonstrated objectively (typically
through some kind of statistical test). In this Hand-in Assignment, explain how “Anger” might be studied from both a qualitative and
quantitative approach. Also, think about what kinds of information might be obtained from each approach. In order to prepare for this
assignment. review this week’s Learning Resources and select one phenomenon from the list below.
Assignment:
• Briefly describe the phenomenon you selected.
• Explain how the phenomenon you selected might be studied from both a qualitative and quantitative approach.
• Explain what kind of information might be obtained from each approach.
• Explain which research approach would be most suited to study the phenomenon you selected and why.
Instructions:
1).Support the Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation (including URL where applicable).
2). All sources must be scholarly.
3). Include In-text citations.

[order_calculator]Write a three page paper on the crash of 2008. How was the Dow Jones created? Will the DOW survive another 100 years – how, why? What happened to our country that
caused the DOW to fall in 2008? Were we in recession or depression? Really dissect the period that led up to the 2008 crash of the DOW and the economy. What war was
going around the time of the 2008 crisis? Do wars have a positive or negative impact on the stock market, the economy and the country? How did we recover from the
crash of 2008? Do you believe the economy has fully recovered from the 2008 crisis? How does the 2008 crisis compare to the 1920s and 1930s? In your conclusion,
discuss how the United States can avoid another crash. Do you believe bringing manufacturing back to the US will make a big difference?

[order_calculator]1. Supreme Court Justice Brandeis wrote that the founding fathers believed that to think and speak as you wish were “indispensable” for the country’s political system
to flourish. He went on to say that the “greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.” Write an essay using this observation from Brandeis to comment on how
important civil liberties are to the principles of the United States and to sustaining those principles in times of fear and war in America. You may wish to comment on
how a nation can accurately draw a line as to when the American Civil Liberties Union goes too far or not far enough.
2. After World War I and more than twenty years of reform, Americans became much more conservative in the 1920s. In fact, Reinhold Niebuhr stated that America was
“rapidly becoming the most conservative nation on earth.” Give examples that defend this perception of America as conservative in the 1920s.
3. Eric Foner wrote that “the language with which World War II was fought helped to lay the foundation for postwar ideals of human rights that extend to all mankind.”
Do you agree with that statement? Why, or why not?
