Overview – Is Disney on its Way to Becoming a Monopoly?
Before everything else, please review the topic on Monopoly (Chapter 9): https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/9-introduction-to-a-monopoly (Links to an external site.)
Also, review the topic on Monopoly and Antitrust Policy (Chapter 11): https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/11-introduction-to-monopoly-and-antitrust-policy (Links to an external site.)
NOTE: these are not included in the exam, but they are good resources for understanding the essay topic.
Disney has acquired many companies (and is still planning to acquire more), building a huge media and entertainment empire. A timeline of Disney acquisitions can be seen here, if you are curious: https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2019/11/disney-acquisition-timeline (Links to an external site.)
Many are worried that Disney will become a monopoly in the entertainment industry, but some are calling this an overreaction. Here are two videos which you can watch if you want, showing two opposite views on the matter:
Why a Disney Monopoly is Bad (Links to an external site.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74sZl9U3wo8&t=415s
Why Disney is NOT a Monopoly – Disney Debunked (Links to an external site.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8muc_T0EbY
Do some more research, and write an essay answering the following guide questions:
1. Do you think Disney is close to forming a monopoly in the entertainment industry?
2. Do you think Disney’s acquisitions hurt the competitiveness in the entertainment industry?
3. Do you think the government should stop Disney’s future acquisitions?
Make sure to support your arguments.

Here is a link to the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s3u8bPZfLU&t=3550s&ab_channel=JahangirAlamRoney
There are summaries online if the film itself seems daunting.

The paper’s PDF instructions explains it in full detail, I can add components that relate to class material so do not worry about that, just the components related to outside scholarly articles/sources, and the film.

1.)Recently, the Canadian government has announced it is considering enacting a “carbon tariff” – the idea of taxing imports from countries with higher levels of per-capita carbon emissions. It is claimed that this would not only be a means of generating revenue, but also help fight climate change. However, some commentators on the idea of carbon tariffs have dismissed them as “nothing more than protectionism in a green suit”. Using your knowledge of economics, mercantilism as well as Canada’s National Policy of 1879 as a case study, discuss whether you would be for or against such a tariff. (Hint: you may wish to bring in some of our class discussions on fur, fish, and bison as well).

Second Assignment:
At the center of the stem cell research debate is the question of “personhood.” When in the development of an embryo/fetus, does the being become a person in the moral sense (they have rights and responsibilities)? What factors might be morally relevant to this question—physical development, cognitive ability, viability, etc.? What resources might be brought to bear on this question (i.e. where could you turn for help deciding on this fundamental issue)—religious, philosophical, ethical, cultural, etc.? Where do you come down on this question? This response should be a minimum of 300 words in length (that’s usually about 1 page, double-spaced, 12 pt font; there is no maximum length) and cite at least one of the required readings.

Purchase Mortgage Loan Transaction Scenario:
Mortgage Banker is arranging the Mortgage Loan for clients MJ and MS (the Buyers) of a residential property. Through their Real Estate Agent at Omega Brokerage their desired Property was located and their purchase offer which was accepted. Escrow has been opened on this transaction which is currently in process. Within three days of Escrow opening, Buyers were provided the Loan Estimate which they reviewed and accepted. The Escrow is about 10 days before closing and the Lender has provided the Closing Disclosure for the Buyers to review and sign so they can be issued their loan documents to finalize the loan and purchase.
You have been asked as Assistant to the Loan Officer to review the issued documents; Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure to assist in answering questions made by the Borrowers. Although the Loan Estimate does not display electronic signatures, assume these documents were fully executed via electronic signatures which is typical modern practice. Also keep in mind the data shown is only for example purposes only and that the cost figures shown are not necessarily accurate representations of actual costs or totals incurred for current transactions.
Questions:
Regarding the Loan Estimate documents file:
What is the Sales Price (Purchase Price) of the Property listed on the Loan Estimate?
What is the Loan amount and Interest rate quoted for this purchase? At the time this LE was provided is the quoted Interest rate locked or could it still change?
Based on the Loan amount and Sales price, what is the Loan to Value (LTV) percentage? What amount of a total downpayment (including deposit) is the Buyer making?
Are the Property Taxes, Property Insurance, and HOA dues included in the quoted monthly payment? List all specific items that are included in the Estimated Total Monthly Payment?
Based on this loan estimate, if the loan were to close under these terms, how much Cash would the Buyer need to bring to Escrow to close the transaction?
How much is the quoted Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for this Loan Estimate? Why do you think the calculated APR% is higher than the quoted Loan Interest Rate?
If you were shopping 3 lenders with each one providing a LE quote, what factors would you consider on the LE to determine which of the Lender quotes would be better to accept and why?
Regarding the Closing Disclosure documents file:
Has either the Sales Price (Purchase Price), Loan amount, or Interest rate changed in the Closing Disclosure from the Initial quote? If so, which has and by how much? How has this affected the Estimated Total Monthly payment?
Is the Loan the Borrower receiving a Government insured loan? Can the Interest rate on this Loan change in the future? Does this loan have negative amortization? How did you identify these answers from the information provided on the CD?
What if anything would happen IF the Borrower decided to refinance the Loan in 1 year?
Did you notice any changes in the Lender’s origination costs as compared to the initial LE? How did this affect the Borrower’s overall quote?
As part of this transaction, identify if any sources and what amounts of credits were given to borrower? What effect would credits have on the figures calculated on the CD?
Based on the CD, how much money does the Borrower have to bring into Escrow for their Closing Funds? How has this amount changed from the LE provided?
Are there any new takeaways from this assignment that you think might help you in the future? Why do you think providing a LE at the beginning and a CD right before loan funding and closing the Escrow is an important disclosure protection for the Borrower?

Shakespeare is masterful at inventing characters. In Hamlet, we find the invention of a character who is the type of the anti-hero. This is an innovation of Shakespeare’s. Hamlet himself is intelligent, perceptive, wry, witty, eloquent, conflicted, and at times destructive. He is, in the words of one critic, the only character in Hamlet who could conceivably have written the play himself. To reveal his powerful consciousness, Shakespeare invents a new kind of dramatic soliloquy. Take one dramatic monologue (perhaps the famous “To be or not to be speech”, or “What a piece of work is man”), and examine and explore the following:
a. What is a dramatic monologue?
b. What makes a dramatic soliloquy unique and effective?
c. What is the playwright’s point in revealing character through a monologue rather than through a dialogue or a scene of action?
Does Hamlet’s eloquence change how we understand his personality and his effect on others?
d. How does Shakespeare shape diction, phrasing, rhythms, and memorable phrases, to make the monologue work?
