Week 5 Case Study: Unemployment 6 pages

Overview

People need income in order to consume, and consumption leads to production, and

production leads to higher demand for labor (employment), so unemployment is a

crucial macroeconomic issue that confronts all modern economies. A lower

unemployment rate, however, is not the end of the problem. The type of employment

and the price of labor (wages) have to be sufficient for consumption (which is the major

component of GDP) for the economy to be healthy. If wages are low or if the prices in

the economy are high, consumption would be low and thus, production and demand for

labor would be low as well. So high unemployment rate, high part-time employment rate

for economic reasons, and low wages could have negative effects on economic growth.

Assignment Description

In this assignment, you need to analyze unemployment-related issues. You need to

analyze only one issue (topic).

You are going to study the past trends, provide an overview of the current status, and

provide solutions to overcome any problems related to the issue you are studying. You

will use data, articles, and government reports to draw a clear picture of the current

unemployment issues.

Some unemployment-related topics that you could choose from (choose only one

topic) include the following.

 Part-time employment rates for economic reasons

 Unemployment rates among young college graduates

 Unemployment rates by gender

 Unemployment rates among Black and Hispanic communities

 Low supply of labor (professionals) in certain industries

 High supply of labor in education

 Low wages by profession and their causes

 Low demand for labor in some industry (you could choose whatever industry you wish)

 Low wages in some parts of the country

 High unemployment rate among workers with high school diploma or less

Your research needs to be structured with consistent and clear thoughts. It also needs

to be supported by facts and data. Your results need to be based on solid facts. Your

conclusion and recommended solution need to be thorough and based on your findings

and understanding of unemployment and GDP.

Please also use scholarly sources, I’m sure some of the previous sources used would suffice.

Goal of the paper:

In this paper, you will explore what a future sustainable world might look like, and in the process of doing so, extend your previous descriptions of selected terms and explain how they may play a role in aiding us in achieving environmental sustainability on a global scale.

The Journey to Sustainability

Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here? In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis.

Outline to follow:

Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved:

• Paragraph 1:
  • Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present.
  • Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives.
• Paragraph 2:
  • Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future.
  • Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably.
• Paragraph 3:
  • Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future.
• Paragraph 4:
  • Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now.
• Paragraph 5
  • Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate.
  • Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all.
• Paragraph 6:
  • Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future.
  • Indicate the changes have been made to how humans think about and treat what is currently called “waste.”

Paragraph 7:

• Summarize some of the major social, economic, political, and ecological choices and tradeoffs that will need to be overcome for this sustainable future to arrive. What are some of the major issues and challenges humans will have to face in order to achieve sustainability on a global scale?

There’s no scientific evidence to support the use of alternative medicines and homeopathic remedies or treatments, yet estimates published find them the number one alternative to traditional medicine in Europe, Asia and the Americas. How do the sources help you understand the growing popularity and increased level of acceptance of alternative medicines and homeopathic remedies in the medical community and/or the criticisms against them?

There are as many reasons for their popularity and acceptance as there are criticisms. You may want to select the reason(s) for your source-based essay from the lists below:

REASONS FOR POPULARITY & ACCEPTANCE	CRITICISMS
Can be used as complementary treatments in conjunction with science-based medicine	Placebo effect
Some controlled experiments show AM therapies outperform placebos.	Not proven effective by scientific research.
Scientifically-controlled trials separate AM therapies from individualized treatment and rituals.	Evidence-based, not science-based.
Some centuries-old Chinese medicines, treatments and therapies have been used to create effective drugs, treatments and therapies; others show potential.	Insurance companies and physicians bowing to public demand and consumers’ economic interests.
AM treatments do help some patients.	Licensing requirements for AM practitioners not stringent enough.
AM therapies work with the body’s own natural healing process.	Some AM treatments and therapies represent a health hazard.
AM takes a holistic approach.	Certain herbs and substances have been shown to have negative and/or dangerous side effects; some treatments can result in dangerous interactions with prescribed pharmaceuticals; some pharmaceuticals may lose efficacy.
Some AM therapies now require licenses.	AM experiments employ inconsistent controls; more rigorously-controlled trials have shown little to no effects.
Some AM therapies and treatments are safer alternatives for children and the elderly.	AM promises relief based on ambiguous claims and confused causation.
Most AM therapies and treatments have fewer noxious side effects.	AM industry is unregulated; many products can be purchased OTC and online.
AM therapies and treatments cost less than prescribed science-based therapies and treatments.	AM promised false hopes: Patients may turn away from or refuse conventional science-based medicine.
Higher patient compliance with AM.
AM becoming more acceptable in the medical community with the identification of disreputable practitioners and treatments.

JUDGE FACTS AND OPINIONS

Click on the sidebar article titled “Judge Fact vs. Opinion” and review.

FACTS

• Facts are statements that can be proved true or false.
• Facts tell what actually happened.
• Facts tell what is happening now.
• Facts state something that can be easily observed or verified.

• Opinions express worth or value.
• Opinions tell what should or should not be thought or done.
• Opinions are based on what seems true or probable.

Based on the criteria listed above, select:

• Three fact statements from each of the Counterpoint essays on alternative medicine.
• Three opinion statements from each of the Counterpoint essays on alternative medicine.

What Is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It’s based on two unconventional theories:

• “Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people
• “Law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain.

Homeopathic products come from plants (such as red onion, arnica [mountain herb], poison ivy, belladonna [deadly nightshade], and stinging nettle), minerals (such as white arsenic), or animals (such as crushed whole bees). Homeopathic products are often made as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue; they may also be in other forms, such as ointments, gels, drops, creams, and tablets. Treatments are “individualized” or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments.

It’s also one of the most popular alternative medicines today.

---

First, read, annotate and document Michael Castleman and Jeff Grossman’s “The Strange Case of Homeopathy” from the English 121/122 LibGuide (Alternative Medicines-Readings).

• Then answer the following questions based on your reading:
  • Consider Castleman’s credentials: Why are they significant in understanding his purpose for writing the article?
  • What role did Amy Lansky’s preconceived notions of alternatives (her top-down thinking) play in her initial visit to the homeopath? Considering her professional training and her responsibility as a mother, why did she seek a non-traditional treatment for her child?
  • Identify the positive and negative views of homeopathy presented in the article from both the primary and secondary sources: Why can’t medical science trust the results of studies that evaluate homeopathic remedies and practices, according to its critics? What dangers and risks do the critics discuss?

  Writing Assignment #3 Preparation

  Good Morning.

  I hope this message finds you and your families safe and sound. According to the news reports, the current stay-at-home practice seems to be working–as difficult as it may be for most of us.

  Some advice as you begin to write the next essay assignment:

  1. Please review the powerpoint. Understand the research question (particularly the “medical community” part) and which sources are required.

  2. Please review Monday’s Inbox attachment (Exemplary Academic Source-Based Writing Passages). Thesis statements, introductory paragraphs, single and multiple source paragraphs, conclusions–this assignment should show some progress. Yes. I know the last few weeks have been crazy, but there hasn’t been anything new about the writing–just the critical reading skills. Summaries of the articles rather than source-based essays will not receive very good grades–no matter how correctly written. At the same time, source-based essays with grammar and usage errors that interfere with the presentation of the source material (and that have been identified on previous papers!) will also not receive very good grades. And a combination of both (incorrectly written summaries) won’t be acceptable.
  3. Please review the powerpoints and the links on the rough draft assignment from Writing Assignment #2. Also, see Documentation Guidelines for signal phrases for multiple authors.
  4. There’s still time to Inbox specific questions (but not drafts or paragraphs) about the essay assignment.
  5. Please check the due date (and time) of the essay assignment. If you’re experiencing technical issues (no pc/lousy broadband) please let me know ahead of time–not after the due date and time.

  That’s all for now.

  Please use these resources to write the paper.

Hi, this rough draft is about half way done. I need someone to expand and finish it for me. Please. Original instructions are below.

Each student is required to complete the term project, which is a 15-20 page (not counting the cover, abstract and reference page) research paper in APA format. Once you have submitted this assignment it is automatically run through Turnitin.com (plagiarism checker).

Submit your First Draft by no later than Sunday of week 5.

Late submissions of this assignment will not be accepted.
