Using the Six Steps of Decision-Making framework from this week’s content, please develop an essay responding to the following questions related to the case study Student Advocacy and “Sweatshop” Labor: The Case of Russell Athletic (p. 109).

Recognize decision requirements: What are the factors to consider in a corporation when deciding to outsource labor to developing countries? Include the following:

Diagnosis and analysis of causes: If labor outsourcing to developing countries is a legitimate business strategy, how can it be handled without risk of running into a sweatshop scandal?

Development of alternatives: What are other countries doing to avoid, reduce or eliminate sweatshops?

Selection of desired alternative: Decide on alternatives for outsourcing for companies in developed countries, including whether or not to maintain or implement the same high labor standards and regulations as in the home countries.

Implementation of alternatives: Which alternatives would be best for outsourcing for companies in the United States?

Evaluation and feedback: Have your recommendations been implemented in other countries? Are they working? What has been the outcome? 

In this course, you will have six Critical Thinking assignments where you will respond to assignment questions to develop an essay. Essays have an introduction (to the topic of the assignment), a body (where you will integrate your responses), and a conclusion (your thoughts on the assignment). Please do not just answer the questions as is. It is best to use APA (7th ed) headings to capture the essence of the questions as a way to make sure you have integrated all of the responses in your essay. Also, make sure you are using an APA (7th ed) paper template as a starting point.

The future for you and the environment!

Part 1:
First I would love to hear about your future endeavors and so please take this opportunity to reflect on your progress in accomplishing your educational goals as you move forward in your academic career.

Part 2:
More than half the world’s population now lives in cities around the globe and that number is expected to rise to 2/3 by 2050. When thinking about sustainable development, that means cities will be ground zero for innovation and achievement. This week you studied what sustainable development means and some great examples of those leading the way. Here let’s discuss how your city is doing! Using the following resources (and those you used for your projects) look up your city to see where they place. Then check out other cities and pick out a few ideas that you think would work well where you are and why you believe it would be successful in your area. 

United States Sustainable Development Report 2021 (find your state here by clicking on state profiles at the top) – https://us-states.sdgindex.org/

Then find your city in the 2019 report – https://www.sustainabledevelopment.report/reports/2019-us-cities-sustainable-development-report/

Princeton, Sustainable Cities Review (examples of what others are doing – https://psci.princeton.edu/tips/2020/6/16/sustainable-cities

Answer the following questions:

How is your state doing overall?

Where does your city fall on the sustainable development report list? (A screenshot is great but make sure to embed it in the post rather than attached and discuss your findings too). Highlight some of the SDG dashboards and trends that your city is “doing well” and “not so well”. 

What are a couple of practical ways the city could become more sustainable? 

  • After completing your project what are your overall final thoughts?

QUESTION

TEAM ASSIGNMENT 1: DETERMINING WHEN A RETURN IS SUFFICIENT TO
START THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS. (rev’d 090721).

Determining the Statute of Limitations: While the statute of limitations for examination is
generally three years from the date a return is filed, the statue can be automatically extended, can
be voluntarily extended, or tolled under various provisions provided in the code, regulations,
rulings and court cases. Your job is to advise your clients as to the applicable statute of
limitations based on the fact pattern to be provided to you below. Remember: the date a return is
deemed filed is a question of both fact and law.
It is October 1, 2021. The clients have not filed their joint current year’s tax return. No
extension has been filed. Your clients have filed timely in the past and there is no reason to
suspect that there is unreported income (once the return is filed). They live in Florida and have
been unaffected by a hurricane or other severe weather event. Your team must write a
memorandum to the client explaining when a tax return filing will be deemed sufficient to start
the statute of limitations for both examination and assessment purposes. In addition, the clients
have asked if they should file a joint tax return under the facts above. You should cite, as
appropriate, the code, regulations, rulings, court cases… etc. Make sure that the memo addresses
all the following questions for both types of returns:

Just Questions 3 & 4

3. What are the exceptions to the general statute of limitations on Assessment?
4. When is a return deemed sufficient to start the statute of limitations?

Write essay on it:

Please no complex words, simple answers

Part I: What is your current perception of the United States’ Congress? Offer the reader insight into your understanding of Congress and its role in addressing the concerns of the nation. In what way(s), if any, do you believe Congress can be an effective tool for addressing environmental concerns? Also, reflect on your own level of political engagement. For example, do you pay attention to politics, vote (or plan to) in elections or participate in other political processes such as town halls, have an interest in running for office someday? If so, why, if not, why not? Conclude this section of the paper with a question you would like to ask Al Gore. (1-1.5 full pages)

Say I dont plan to vote and that I dont know much about politics other than I lean towards more democratic. No intention in doing anything government.

Part II: After watching the interview, reflect on what you learned. Did your perception of Congress change? If so, why? If not, why not? Based on what you heard, what role do you now think Congress has in addressing environmental concerns, and what role do you think you can play as an engaged citizen in that process? Did Al Gore answer your question from part I? If so, was their answer satisfactory (why/why not)? Using a credible peer reviewed source, fact check something significant that you heard them say about the environment or the political process that affects how you think about the role of Congress and/or engaged citizens in caring for the environment. Be sure to offer a proper in text and bibliographic citation for your source. (1-1.5 full pages)

QUESTION

Drug addiction can be a part of daily life. You may be addicted right now! It is likely that you use either nicotine or caffeine in your daily life. Choose one of these and document how this drug fits into your life. If you use one of these, you are required to track it so that you are able to use the provided charts. If you use neither, you may track your consumption of sugar, though this might require a bit more ‘homework’ to acquire the additional data on the sugar content of your consumed products. If none of these substance options work for you, please contact me for an alternative.

Your task: Track your consumption of nicotine/caffeine for three days: Monday, 2/19, Tuesday, 2/20, and Wednesday, 2/21. Record the time of your use and the amount you consume. The following websites have charts documenting the nicotine/caffeine content of various products. I have also attached a caffeine chart.

Nicotine: https://www.govtlab.gov.hk/english/pub_tnrpt.htm

Caffeine: http://www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm

After the three days are up, refrain from using nicotine/caffeine for 48 hours (Thursday, 2/22 & Friday, 2/23). Document any withdrawal symptoms you may experience and the types of support you have during this time (emotional support from friends/family, use of other drugs to relieve symptoms). Take careful notes about your physical and mental health. Try not to relapse, but if you do, describe the context surrounding the relapse—physical withdrawal symptoms at time of relapse, social setting, time of day, etc.

The report: The data should be collected such that you could write up the results for a scientific report. Develop an appropriate strategy for documenting your data and keep careful records of your progress over the duration of the experiment.

Econ102 Macroeconomics

QUESTION

Assignment 1: Demand-side Policies and the Great Recession of 2008

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.

Develop an essay discussing the fiscal and the monetary policies adopted and implemented by the federal during the Great Recession and their impacts on the U.S. economy. Complete this essay in a Microsoft Word document, and in APA format. Note your submission will automatically be submitted through “TurnItIn” for plagiarism review. Please note that a minimum of 1500 words for your essay is required.

Your paper should be structured as follows

1. Cover page with a running head 

2. Introduction: What is the economic meaning of a recession? 

· A brief discussion of fiscal policies

· A brief discussion of monetary policies 

3. Conclusions: Discuss the extent to which the use of demand side policies (fiscal policy and monetary policy) during the Great Recession of 2008 has been successful in restoring economic growth and reducing unemployment
