Summarize your results and include a description of what you would anticipate the relation between the two variables to be and what the actual results indicate.

In Modules 1 and 4 you used some data you collected on two airlines, along with some data on the airline industry. Use the same data to perform a regression using load factor as the independent variable and revenue passenger miles as the dependent variable for one of your airlines. Summarize your results and include a description of what you would anticipate the relation between the two variables to be and what the actual results indicate. Are the results statistically significant? Be sure to include a table summarizing your results and a scatterplot of your data that includes the resulting model. Make sure and examine the plots discussed in this module regarding normality

Write an essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy.

During the Great Recession, like any other economic downturns, as unemployment rises, aggregate income declines causing a major decline in tax collections. On the other hand, with the rise in unemployment, spending on safety net programs rise. So, there are not too many good options available to resort the health of the national economy. It will be very difficult to defend cuts in the federal government programs and especially the programs geared to sustain the minimum of the standard of living for the recent “poor.” So, government needs to increase its borrowing. Deficit spending refers to government spending exceeding what it brings in federal income and corporate taxes during a certain period. Deficit spending hence increases government debt. Most economists accept that deficit spending is desirable and necessary as part of counter cyclical fiscal policy. In such a case, government increases its borrowing and hence its deficit to compensate for the shortfall in aggregate demand. This is derived from Keynesian economics, and has been the mainstream economics view. Following John Maynard Keynes, many economists recommend deficit spending to moderate or end a recession, especially a severe one. When the economy has high unemployment, an increase in government purchases creates a market for business output, creating income and encouraging increases in consumer spending, which creates further increases in the demand for business output. (This is the multiplier effect). This raises the real gross domestic product (GDP) and the level of employment and lowers the unemployment rate. Government borrowing under such circumstances increases the demand for borrowing and thus pushes interest rates up. Rising interest rates can “crowd out” (discourage) fixed private investment spending, canceling out some of the demand stimulus arising from the deficit

Write an essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy i.e., the “crowding out” effect.

You are required to submit a one page reaction paper to the video shown in class. The reactions must be typed, double spaced (no extra spaces between paragraphs), 12 pt standard font (Times New Roman or Arial), 1” margins and submitted to Canvas no later than midnight of the following Sunday. Late reaction papers will not be accepted, under any circumstances. Content: Use one of the given prompts as your guide for what to write. You are expected to put thought in your answers and respond intelligibly. You are encouraged to support your answers with material from the video, class lecture, as well as the required readings. You must clearly indicate your source, and if you directly quote any material, you must clearly indicate what has been quoted along with indicating the source of the quoted material. Format: Although these reactions are only one page, you are expected to submit well-written papers. These will be graded not only on the thoughts submitted, but also on grammar and cohesiveness. Put nothing but your name at the top. Here is the link to the video: http://digital.films.com.ezproxy.lib.utah.edu/PortalPlaylists.aspx?aid=6296&xtid=43284 () Topics mentioned in the video: – Impact of Highways (good and bad) – Baby boom/suburbia – Moon landing – Civil rights movement – Cold War You can write about one of these, or choose a different topic mentioned in this video and discuss the economic implications.

In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society’s progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy?

Instructions: The film that I choose is “Remember the Titans”. Within the six page paper I am expected to apply the material covered in class (Especially Bonilla-Silva’s 4 Frames of colorblind racism). As his/her critical thinking decision making objective, the student should decide whether the societal evidence he/she reviews in the paper :
a) demonstrates the typical colorblind pattern that Bonilla-Silva describes in the textbook; or
b) reveals a more progressive and/or minority pattern
c) Some combination of the above
d) Some other pattern not discussed in the textbook but worth exploring in future research.

The student may find that the quotes he/she analyzes deliberately challenge one of the 4 frames of colorblindness in some way, and he/she can note this in the paper as well. The paper should consider the implications of the analysis of colorblindness for the future of a multiracial society. In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society’s progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy?

The books Required for this class is listed below:
1) Bonilla-Silva, E. 2010 Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and Racial Inequality in Contemporary America. 3rd ed. Boulder, CO: Rowman and Littlefield. ISBN-13:9781442202184
2) Higganbotham, E. and Margaret L. Anderson. 2011. Race and Ethnicity in Society: The Changing Landscape. 3rd ed. Belmont Ca: Wadsworth. ISBN-13:9781111519537

The six page paper should quote and illustrate all 4 frames of colorblindness and analyze them accordingly.

The two sources I would like to use is the book on “Remember the Titans and the movie itself if possible.

Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience

Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion

__: Submit topic on Canvas for approval

__: Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience

__: Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience.

Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion:

This assignment requires you to place yourself in a situation where you will be persuaded to do something (buy, believe, etc.). The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert and to analyze their experiences using fundamental persuasion, argumentation, and logic concepts.

Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience:

The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert. To simulate a realistic experience I will not explicitly instruct you on how to approach the situation (e.g., emotionally detached, strongly resistant). Rather, I simply ask you to behave as naturally as you can.

Examples of the tactics and concepts (these are from the “handout” reading):

a) the foot-in-the door
b) door-in-the face
c) and that’s-not-all techniques
d) slowly escalating commitments
e) the illusion of choice
f) conformity and social proof
g) conveying illusions of authority, honesty, and likeability
h) the base-rate fallacy and negativity bias.

Sample persuasion experts and situations:

Car, jewelry, stereo, furniture, and insurance salespeople; timeshare seminars; parties to sell Tupperware, kitchenware, photo albums, and candles; military recruiters; funeral arrangement coordinators; street hustlers; scientology, Moonie, and other religious recruiters; and psychics.

Ethical Precautions

It is important to take precautions against placing yourself in unsafe situations. You must have your topic approved by me before carrying out the assignment. Occasionally, it might be necessary to suggest an alternative scenario if a proposed situation is too risky. Most cults, for example, are excellent illustrations of persuasion but I generally advise you not to subject yourself directly to their influence. Also, in situations where you will likely encounter hard-sell salespeople, use your best judgment about what point to exit the encounter. For example, if you are visiting a visiting car lot, do not to go beyond the test drive.

Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience:

Your reflection paper should provide readers with an overview of the entire persuasive experience. Be sure you include the following three ideas:

Analyze the tactics, persuasive concepts, and/or logical fallacies that were employed during your experience.
Reflect on how you responded to the tactics
Articulate how you (or someone you know) could more effectively resist similar persuasion attempts in the future.

Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion.

There are four steps to this assignment—you must complete all four in order to receive credit.
