Do you think an international monetary system with currencies valued on the basis of gold would work today?

Please read the instructions carefully (“Directions for this
Essay”, “Opinions”, and “Guidelines” sections). Do not bid on this order unless
you are absolutely sure you can deliver exceptional work.

Directions for this Essay:
-Read the opinions given below by another person in answer to two questions
regarding an International Monetary System based on gold and implementing a
global version of the European Monetary System.
-After reading the opinions given by that person, respond to the following
questions in a one-page essay:
1) Do you agree with the opinion
given to question # 1? Why or why not?
2) Do you agree with the
opinion given to question # 2? Why or why not?

Opinions:

Question # 1: Do you think an international monetary
system with currencies valued on the basis of gold would work today? Why
or why not?

Opinion: Suppose the international monetary system is the
standard economic unit of account based on gold. In these countries, the
currency would be linked to gold, and the value of a country’s paper money
would also be linked to gold. Therefore, the gold standard would lead to more prevalent
periods of inflation and deflation. This is because the value of a currency
will depend on gold discoveries. For example, if there is a significant
discovery of gold, it will lead to more currency, which will lead to inflation.
However, if gold discoveries reduce or fall drastically, then growth in the
money supply will slow down, leading to deflation. In addition, the banking
system will become more prone to crisis and instability. While new unregulated
entities will crop up, putting an immense risk on the financial and banking
structure.

Question # 2: Do you think implementing a global version
of the old European monetary system would work today? Why or why not?

Opinion: Implementing a system similar to the European
monetary system on a global scale would be a difficult task. Economies with
highly disparate economic conditions would find it challenging to address
domestic economic problems that could be dealt with efficiently at the national
level. The world’s industrialized economies could develop a system similar to
the European monetary system, but without including the least developed
economies. Thus, without the world’s poorest countries in line economically
with the world’s most advanced economies would be practically impossible.
Furthermore, the vast amounts of subsidies to the poor economies could severely
drain the resources of the world’s most industrialized countries.

Guidelines:
-Do not use Wikipedia as a reference.
-Please put together complete and well-thought-out responses. Original input is
greatly appreciated it, so please integrate your thoughts and experiences in
the essay.
-Also, answer the questions completely. Quality counts, so be brief thorough
and to the point.

In a well-written essay of at least 400 words, address the following:

In a well-written essay of at least 400 words, address the following:
The famous historian Edward Gibbon wrote
“The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the cause of the destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident and removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight. The story of the ruin is simple and obvious: and instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed we should rather be surprised that it has subsisted for so long.”
Do you agree? Discuss what you believe to be the most significant causes for the fall of the Western Roman Empire. What can we learn from the Fall of Rome?
Do you see any parallels in contemporary society?

In what ways do you have a fixed and/or a growth mindset?

3 pages total for the essay it includes a reflective cover letter

Background
We have just started to work together this semester, and we have also started to learn something about how you can succeed in this class and in college. We have very briefly discussed some basic ideas about what it means to be successful, as well as one more complex idea: mindsets.
Your Task
In a short essay, summarize the basic idea of mindsets (including one short quotation from Brainology by Dweck) and give examples from your own experience to answer the writing question in the box below.
In what ways do you have a fixed and/or a growth mindset?
How To Do It
These are recommendations rather than requirements.
Your first paragraph might be a short summary of the idea of mindsets: What is a fixed mindset? What is a growth mindset? You might also briefly explain how these concepts help us to understand why we succeed or do not succeed at some tasks. You should end this paragraph with a thesis statement.
Your thesis statement should directly answer the writing question. Feel free to use “I”—after all, I’m asking about you!
Some examples:
After learning about these differences, I realize that I have a fixed mindset about math, but a growth mindset about art.
I am lucky because I have a growth mindset about almost everything.
I am working on having a growth mindset about English.
Note that these are not high school formula thesis statements with a list of three things: now is the time for you to begin growing out of those.
The body paragraphs should support your thesis by providing examples and further explanations.
At the end of your essay, in your conclusion, state whether you believe you need to change your mindset. If you do need to change, how might you do so?
Here are some ways that you might develop the essay (you do not have to answer all of these questions):
What makes you think you have a fixed mindset in a certain area? Use examples!
What are the consequences—for you—of having a fixed mindset? Use examples!
Do you believe it is possible or necessary to change your fixed mindset? What might help you change?
What makes you think you have a growth mindset in a certain area?
How does having a growth mindset help you?
How might we encourage others to have a growth mindset?
