Written research analysis of a country’s public policy related to applied microeconomics .Almost all countries’ governments determine policies:
(1) to increase economic efficiency and productivity
(2) to encourage research and development in certain areas such as IT, automobile industry, or pharmaceutical industry
(3) to deal with positive and negative externalities of economic activity, e.g. environmental policy as related to a negative externality to prevent pollution; health care policy, education policy, and public transportation policy are all related to positive externalities
(4) to prevent negative impact of asymmetric information so that both buyers and sellers can conduct their market transactions based on reliable and accurate information, such as regulations of stock markets and requirements related to generally accepted accounting standards and auditing
(5) to prevent monopolies and cartels, e.g. anti-trust or competition policies
(6) to reduce unemployment and provide minimum income to workers, e.g. minimum wage, and to farmers, e.g. agricultural subsidies
(7) for efficient production of public goods by government agencies
(8) to increase their companies’ competitiveness in global markets
You need to choose a government policy in any of these policy areas and analyze how good or effective that policy is in terms of bringing desired results from a microeconomics perspective. This research and analysis paper requires you to conduct research and use microeconomics theories / models that can be applied to your policy analysis.
Steps to take:
1. Determine your group.
2. Choose a government’s policy as related to one of the above topics. There will be examples in the
book as we cover the chapters. One of those examples can be your starting point. Here are some examples of topics from the book:
Many countries put extra taxes on gasoline, which affect the prices of gasoline on those
countries and consumers’ purchasing choices for small or large cars, the amount of driving that people do, and their overall spending. You can analyze an oil importing country’s government policy on this topic.
Governments have policies to maintain competition in the market. Based on these policies they determine whether to allow mergers and acquisitions of companies that produce similar products. You can analyze a country’s competition policy. The EU has a common competition policy, if you choose the EU’s competition policy.
Some governments adopted regulations designed to improve the average fuel economy of domestically-sold vehicles for reducing oil imports and for reducing carbon emissions which lead to global warming. You can analyze one of such policies.
Governments all around the world have health care systems. You can choose a government’s health care policy and analyze what the government has been doing to ensure sufficient and efficient health care provision. What has the government done to make health care accessible to the poor, to make production more efficient, and to ensure sufficient supply of healthcare, including the private sector, to meet the demand for healthcare.
3. I shared an Excel spreadsheet on Moodle, putting the same topics across all the group members, so that I will know who are in the same group.
4. After you choose your topic you may discuss it with me in terms of how to approach the topic.
5. Collect reliable information about that government’s policies on the topic that you have chosen.
6. Using your microeconomics knowledge, turn your research into a policy analysis paper. The
paper should have an introduction, discussion of the policy, and a conclusion. Your discussion of the policy should include a description of what the policy is and the economic goals of it, how that policy has affected the different stakeholders (such as consumers, producers or the industry at large, suppliers), competition and market structure, government revenues, external trade, environment and so on. It should evaluate how affective is that policy in terms of achieving its goals. You may also compare two or three countries’ policies on the same topic if you prefer to do so.
7. Your resources should be cited properly and listed at the end. The purpose of these assignments is to get you to reflect about and apply what you have learned in the class to analyze real economic world issues and problems.
You can Choose any countries Public policy for this research paper.

“Exploring the Relationship between Freedom and Constraint in American New Religious Movements: A Comparative Analysis of the Nation of Islam, Wicca, and the People’s Temple” “Exploring the Response to Suffering and Reshaping of Experiences in New Religious Movements”
Prompt
Format: Below is an essay question which draws together a number of themes and subjects that we have explored since the midterm (although issues and ideas from the first part of the course will clearly be relevant to your thinking). Your answer must be from 7-10 pages double-spaced in length, and should take the form of an essay. In other words, give me a clear thesis, a well-argued and well-researched body, and a concise conclusion. You MUST use the texts particular to each movement we have studied, and you must document these with proper citation. (In addition, if you wish to consult outside sources I will be happy to give you some recommendations.)
Question:
As we come to the end of our complicated journey with new religious movements in the United States, certain comparative themes have emerged in our conversations. One such theme has recurred often: the relationship between freedom/liberation and constraint/limits.
Karl Marx once wrote that religion is “the sigh of the oppressed, the heart of a heartless world.” While he meant this as a disparaging remark, this notion actually helps us understand what religions DO for people, how they help people create meaning, and how they often work to preserve identity or community.
In this essay, I want you to explore this relationship between freedom and constraint in American new religious movements. You must discuss at least three of the following new religious movements or impulses in your essay: the Nation of Islam, Wicca, Vodou/Santeria, Rastafarianism, New Age, Scientology, UFO religions, invented religions, bright side/dark side religious impulses, or the People’s Temple.
With each movement, describe the ways in which constraint and freedom are experienced with regard to the following three areas: the body, society/community, and intellect/mind. Be very specific about how each tradition deals with these three areas – how are limits perceived in each area, and how do these traditions attempt to create freedom therein? What do these movements promise or offer people? How do they respond to people’s suffering and their experience of limits? How do they reshape people’s experience of their world, through specific beliefs, practices, and communities?
In your responses, you may wish to consider the role of religious eclecticism (including the limits of what counts as a “religion” in terms of pop culture, fantasy narratives, conspiracy, and invented religions), the ways in which the mainstream defines the religious “other,” the growing number of religious consumers/seekers, and other key concepts we have dealt with over the semester.

Reflecting on My Semester: Personal Growth and Support at Lone Star College-Kingwood
The length requirements are 500 to 750 words.
Write one paragraph for each prompt.
You can number these or title each one. I will be looking for one paragraph to discuss each of the questions listed below.
Each paragraph needs to be 7 to 9 sentences, not more and not less.
Use sentence variety and elevated, college-level word choices and sentence structures to express your ideas.
Use MLA format for heading and all other aspects of your final exam. Consider the areas of content, originality, clarity, organization, conciseness, and grammar as you revise and edit.
In this final essay, reflect upon your semester’s experience. Keep in mind this essay is a narrative essay about your personal experience, and the best narratives demonstrate how an event has changed your perspective in some way.
Reflect on how one of the works you read this semester changed your viewpoint on a topic. (for this topic, I have added an attachment titled “research paper” regarding online vs traditional school).
Reflect on how your personal writing skills have improved by what you studied in this class this semester. (This topic can be about me being in school again after 18 years, It improved my writing skills by learning about
fundamentals of academic writing, including essay structure, thesis development, paragraph organization, grammar, punctuation, and citation formatting (commonly using MLA style). Students may also learn critical reading and analysis skills, how to conduct research and integrate sources into their writing, and how to craft persuasive and well-supported arguments. Overall, English 1301 aims to equip students with the essential tools and strategies for effective communication and writing in college)
Reflect on someone at Lone Star College-Kingwood, whether a staff member or faculty member, who helped you to achieve your personal goals or stay in your program. (we can add my advisor “Kimberly Crenshaw”, she was very motivating and always was there to answer my questions, she also motivated me by telling me about her achievements and goals.) -
