Part 5

Assume an economy is in recession and the government is considering using fiscal stimulus measures to boost spending, production and employment.

a) Using the IS-LM curve diagram, illustrate the crowding out problem that could occur as a result of increased government spending. Make sure to clearly indicate the new equilibrium position including showing how both the interest rate and level of Y change.

b)  Explain how 'crowding out' can harm productivity growth.

c)  Explain how the 'crowding out' problem associated with increased government spending can be avoided. In your answer identify any additional policy that is needed.

At the end of your answer to Part 5 state the combined word count for sub-parts b and c. Your answer to Part 5 sub-part b and c should not exceed 150 words.

A psychologist researching memory prepares a list of 40 noun pairs (e.g., dog/bicycle; grass/door). He then recruits two groups of subjects. Group 1 is given 5 minutes with the list and is instructed to create a mental image for each pair (for example, to imagine a dog riding a bicycle). Group 2 is also given 5 minutes, but they are told to memorize the pairs. Later each group is given a memory test in which they are given the first word of the pair and are asked to recall the second word. The number of words correctly recalled is reported below. Based on these data, can the researcher conclude that mental images affected memory? Answer using the 7 steps of hypothesis testing, setting alpha at .01. You are additionally given the following information: M_I = 26, M_NI = 18, s_I = 4.71, s_NI = 4.22, SE_{MI – NI} = 2

            Group 1 (Images)                               Group 2 (No images)

In a Word document memo, explain the problem or opportunity and define the project scope and constraints. (Word – PROJECT STATEMENT AND SCOPE)

Que. As we saw in the class lecture one of the most controversial ideas of Marx was his quote: “Religion is the opium of the people”. Many people now discuss the decline of the role of religion in people’s lives and wonder if Marx’s concept may be outdated. Here is your chance to update Marx’s ideas. For this question, you are to substitute the word “media” for the word “religion” in the above quotation. In other words, the quote you are dealing with reads “Media (or “social media”, “Facebook”, “Twitter”) is the opium of the people”. What you are to do is to focus on one aspect of media (it could be television, “reality tv”, video games, advertising, “second life” computer simulation games, sports (on television and in person), movies, social media, “Facebook”, or “Twitter”) and using the ideas discussed in the summary of Marx’s quotation – apply the same analysis to media today. Using examples to support your ideas, in what ways can it be said that today media operates to “dull the senses” and thereby (using Marx’s terms) operates as a highly addictive and sedative “opium of the people”?(subject is sociology)

In this assignment, you are required to respond to the question “Why do good?” in the context of a real-world case study of global concern (excluding references). Note: Global concerns are issues that every nation in the world is concerned about, such as child labour, human trafficking, migration, torture, humanitarian intervention, pandemic, scarce resources, discrimination, wars, online privacy, etc. This list is non-exhaustive.

(Minimum word limit: 400 words, Maximum word limit: 600 words)

(a) Present a real-world case study of global concern. You should identify relevant ethical considerations for discussion.

(b) Demonstrate ethical reasoning in your personal response to the question of “Why do good?”. You should make a claim and explain what doing good means in your case study (underline your claim), and apply any ethical theories you have learned in this course to support at least 2 reasons for your claim (number your reasons).

(c) Discuss possible constraints or limitations to any of the theories you have discussed within the context of this case study.

The files provided in the code editor to the right contain syntax and/or logic errors. In each case, determine and fix the problem, remove all syntax and coding errors, and run the program to ensure it works properly.

Talk like a Pirate! In this activity you are to create an English to Pirate Translator. Users should input a phrase and your program should translate it into pirate speak. A few rules:

1. Certain words need to be converted:

• hello becomes ahoy
• hi becomes yo-ho-ho
• my becomes me
• friend becomes bucko
• sir becomes matey
• where becomes whar
• is becomes be
• the becomes th'
• there becomes thar
• you becomes ye
• anything which ends in -ing becomes -in'

2. You need to obey capitalization and punctuation: if the word is capitalized, then its translation should also be capitalized. If the sentence ends in a period, then the translation should end in a period. To keep punctuation simple, you can stick to coding for commas and periods, and ignore all the rest.

3. Pirates like the word "arr". For fun, randomly insert it into your translation.

4. Remember to use all the tools in your arsenal, especially mainline logic, functions, loops, and error handling.
