Critical Thinking about current American and foreign macroeconomic
Critical Thinking about current American and foreign macroeconomic
Answer each of the following questions in about 2 pages each (6 – 7
pages total Maximum), double-spaced and submitted as a single MS Word
document or saved in rich text format. No references or research is
necessary; should be based entirely on your own critical thinking
perspectives as derived from the course material. [Please make sure not
to use any current events that were among the Case Studies in Modules or
our Discussions!].
Steps involved: (1) Begin by underlining your purpose thesis statement
in the first paragraph of each essay. (2) Next use each succeeding
paragraph to analyze a separate macroeconomic concept or theory which
applies to your chosen topic. (3) Finally use your conclusion to show
what you take away from each of the following topics:
1. Select any American current macroeconomic topic occurring this
quarter to analyze in light of the course material. Your choice of
current events should not be topics closely associated with any of the
class Discussions or Case Studies.
2. Select any foreign (non-American) current macroeconomic topic
occurring this quarter to analyze as well based on the course content.
3. Watch the entire video which is linked in Module #8: “The Battle of
Ideas,” Episode I from The Commanding Heights. Use each paragraph
(following your thesis statement and preceding your conclusion) to
analyze a separate macro economic concept / principle which is related
to our course. What conclusions do you arrive at from watching this video?
