Consider two Thai firms listed on the Bangkok stock exchange:
• Thai A is a mining company that exports a large part of its minerals production. Much larger competitors can be found in Latin and North America. The market price of its production is largely determined in dollars on the world market.
• Thai B imports various engine parts from Europe and the United States. The demand for its product is highly price elastic. A significant rise in baht prices lowers the demand.

What will happen to the earnings and stock prices of the two companies if there is a sudden and large devaluation of the Thai baht against major currencies?

What role should religion play in government? As you develop your argument, think about the following questions: What do supporters of religion in government (accommodationists) value? How do they view the world? What about those who believe in the separation of church and state (separationists)? Why do they disagree so strongly with the accommodationists? Why might separationists who also happen to be religious believe in the separation of church and state? How can we rectify the fact that America is a religious nation, but one in which religion plays a limited role in government? Do we need to?
