During the Great Recession, like any other economic downturns, as unemployment rises, aggregate income declines causing a major decline in tax collections. On the other hand, with the rise in unemployment, spending on safety net programs rise. So, to stabilize the national economy, government appears to have only two options (neither good) either to put in place severe austerity measures (cut spending) or increase borrowing. Of course, it is very difficult to defend cuts in the federal government programs and especially the programs geared to sustain the minimum of the standard of living for the “poor.” But increase in borrowing has major adverse impacts on the national economy.

Does one need to be moral to be happy?
Thesis:
Many argue that happiness and morality do not coincide; but in my opinion, understanding and acting upon morality is a crucial step to achieving inner price and happiness.
Explain morality and its role in making someone happy. use the philosophers seneca and fredrick Douglas into an intellectual conversation yourself.
Select two or three readings (from our textbook) that have some thematic connection regarding an issue you would like to weigh in on. Conduct a thorough re-reading of each of those pieces of writing, annotating and writing a fresh journal response for each which takes into account your more-developed reading.
Then, compose a 1000-1200-word essay which makes a clear claim about the topic and supports that claim by engaging with evidence from the readings.
What would sociologists have to say about this that the rest of the media may be missing?”
Select 5 topics related to social change from the course. You will be writing a blog-post style essay for each of those 5 topics.
Guidelines:
Browse the “There’s Research On That!” blog to get a sense of how TROT posts are written. They usually start with a summary of a current event, then provide sociological ideas relevant to the matter at the hand. The author highlights one to four key ideas from the research and includes citations for each source with hyperlinks to the authors’ website and the publication information.
Choose 5 recent news events or pop culture trends related to social change to analyze. Ask yourself, “What would sociologists have to say about this that the rest of the media may be missing?” Make a list of a few possible themes to investigate about each topic, such as the impact of social construction, institutions, or networks.
Search for literature on your themes using the online library. Select three to five pieces for each that speak to the themes or provide broader information about the topic.
Evaluate the research. Read the methodology sections of any journal articles, or find reviews of the books published in academic journals. Do you find the conclusion(s) convincing, based on the evidence provided? Is the methodology high quality? Which pieces provide the best takeaways for a general reader? Once you’ve considered the possible sources separately, consider how they will fit together in each essay. From your list, pick the best two or three pieces for each theme to include in your article.
Write a TROT essay for each of the five topics in the style of the website. Remember the main components: a short summary of the news, including links to media coverage so the reader can see what’s already been written; key takeaways you identified in the sociological literature; and citations of the research. Each essay should be 2 pages in length, for a total of 10+ pages for the assignment.

matrix needs to be explained briefly. In particular, there needs to be relevant data or other evidence
that explains why the item you mention is part of the SWOT. In total, there need to be at least 10

four building blocks of competitive advantage explained in Chapter 1 as your framework
(Efficiency, Quality, Responsiveness to Customers, Innovation). By explaining the actual or
potential sources of competitive advantage of the company, this section provides two basic
recommendations for the company regarding how they should build or maintain a
competitive advantage.
