Log 5.3 and 5.4

Go to the class moodle page to complete log 5.3. (Click here to go to the Moodle page) Scroll down to copies of class assignments. I am also going to post log 5.4 on the final project, but it is not due until Tuesday. Looking over the homework I decided it was a bit too much for one weekend. However, if you want to work ahead, you can complete log 5.4 ahead of time.

Log 4.7 NAFTA Interior Monologue

What's an interior monologue?

1. Written in first person (you're not writing about your character for the debate--you are writing as if you are the character in the debate).

2. Create fictional, but historically accurate details about your characters life. Bring them to life, begin to empathize and understand their perspective.

3. Explain your character's view on NAFTA and free trade policies. What do they hope to accomplish in the conference?

Helpful Hints for the Paper

Hello Seniors:

I recommend that you look through the posts below. In particular the "what is neoliberalism" assignment gives a good brief overview of the neoclassical perspective. Check out the moodle discussion forum questions on whether our current problems are a systemic and a result of deregulation, or are a result of greedy human nature; and the question on whether the invisible hand or government regulations are more effective in regulating the market. Many of your responses to this were excellent and could go right into this paper.

Also be sure to notice that you need to include at least one quote from each documentary we watched in class (Free to Choose and the Corporation). The links to those videos are below as well as the transcripts. Additionally the link to the Corporation site has a section where you can find quotes from different topics that were discussed in the video. For example under regulation there is a gold mine of keynesian vs neoclassical viewpoints on the effectiveness of government regulation vs the invisible hand.
