Revise CMN 504Epicheireme AssignmentI. Introduction. The argument you will write is called an epicheireme (sometimes spelled “epichireme”). It is an argument based on a valid syllogism that nevertheless imposes on the writer the obligation to provide evidence in support of one or both premises. The tradition of advancing such arguments publicly has its roots in ancient Greek and Roman rhetoric schools. Aristotle writes about the epicheireme in his book Topica. The practice was continued in the medieval and renaissance universities of Europe, as well as in the colleges and universities of early America. So, we continue it today as a useful exercise in reasoning and rhetoric. The object of the epicheireme, is to compose an argument either confirming or refuting a claim concerning a matter of public controversy. For our purposes here, we will focus on matters of philosophical, ethical, and theological significance. The directions for completing this assignment are quite detailed. They are as follows:

• I NEED a reflection on Each post and should be at least 100 words for each please .

POST#!

In this weeks reading (Davis – Chapter 9) it is brought up how our political discourse is flat now a days. Everyday, millions of voices are shut out from political discourse for a variety of reasons. These reasons include, but are not limited to, things such as racism, sexism, differing ideas in politics, the power of a corporation to silence their employees, etc.. Without a tolerance to hear the opinions of others, there is no way to reach common ground, although, common ground cannot be found all of the time. It is the silencing of proper political discourse in society today that raises my question. When have you experienced someone’s political views being silenced? Whether it be your own experience with getting your political views silenced or another individual who you experienced getting silenced for their political views. What value do you find in hearing the opinions of others, even if you may not completely agree with them?

post#2

For this weeks readings I took an extra interest for the Reading by Davis. In her book she wrote that the beginning of Black history month with is celebrated in February, people complained because it was the shortest month so it gadually grew and now it is about two and a half months. Also, she posed the question, why dont we celebrate the Emacipation proclamaition enough? or why when Obama issued a proclamation on December 31 urging people to celebrate it, no one really did? I chose this question because Ive seen a lot of things that are done trying to do soemthing whether its spread awareness or get people to try and help, and it got me thinking about black history month and what they are trying to accomplish with it. So my question is, What do you think the overall goal of celebrating Black history month? Why is it only two months and not incorporated all year round? Do you think there are better ways to educate people on Black history? If you were the president what would you do?

2. Field Notes (due to Instructor by December 8th – worth 30% of your final grade)

You will keep an up-to-date field notebook. It is here that you should record your day’s activities (paying close attention to dates, times, and locations) and include sketches, maps, and references to photographs. Be sure to consult your readings, your GEOG 2P10 (or equivalent) notes and any other material that might help you keep effective field notes BEFORE WE DEPART. In short, you should be producing a document that outlines what you have done throughout each day and what you have observed. It is never a bad idea to stop periodically in order to summarize or organize your work. You should also use your field book as a field diary. This allows you to record your insights, thoughts, and interpretations, and to incorporate these into your day’s work. Remember: that great idea you had – if you do not record it – you’ll forget it. Your field book is particularly important as it will comprise the data you need for your final paper. Failure to submit your field book at this time will result in a grade of zero being awarded for this piece of work.

three are 9 week class and every week need field notebook and record the day’s activities.

every week have assignments and it is the file“essay 123”

3. Essay (due to instructor by December 8th – worth 40% of your final grade)

Students will be expected to write a paper of about twelve pages in which they review the literature on the role experiential learning in Geography. This paper must highlight arguments, theoretical assumptions, supporting evidence, and conclusions. Students are expected to consult at least ten sources on experiential learning. In addition, students must use their field notes to provide concrete examples of how their experiences in Vancouver contributed to their understanding of particular geographic problems. Thus, for example, students may use their experiences or observations of subsidized housing to contribute to their understanding of gentrification and race issues in Vancouver. Or, as another example, they may discuss how their experiences or observations of CRAB park help them to engage their understanding of public space. Failure to submit your field book at this time will result in a grade of zero being awarded for this piece of work.

read the outline.

a. Show the game matrix for rock, paper, scissors using +, -, and 0 as payoffs.

12. Suppose I want to build a lighthouse, something that could be considered a public good. There are 4 citizens I need to know if this will benefit enough to justify construction. Let’s call them Liz, Kelsey, Raven, and Hannah. Fully illustrate one way I can get them to reveal the actual benefit they will receive from the lighthouse.

13. Suppose there is a common resource, like trees in the Amazon rainforest. The private MC of harvesting these trees is a constant, c. Assume each tree consumed reduces social benefit twice as much as private benefit.

Illustrate graphically the social optimum consumption and private consumption of trees using social benefit, private benefit, and private marginal cost.

Suppose harvesting trees becomes easier, reducing the marginal cost. What effect would this have on the harvesting of common property? Will the market failure be larger or smaller?

mismatch

15. Economists generally assume people to be risk averse. What does this mean? Illustrate risk averse preferences using a two-outcome framework, and then illustrate risk averse preferences using a utility of wealth framework. Explain as needed.
