MicroEconomics2 – 20210627U

Thread Prompt: In this module/week’s forum, you must find an article containing material that is relevant to microeconomics, clearly link your article to material from the textbook, then compose a thread discussing the topic per the instructions below. The article you choose along with the textbook must be referenced in current APA format. Acceptable research sources for your articles include periodicals, journals, newspapers, and magazines. Sources such as Wikipedia, About.com, book reviews, and blogs are prohibited. Reply Prompt: For your replies, respond to at least two classmates’ threads. At least one of them must deal with a story different from the one you address in your thread. You must make substantive comments about your classmate’s thread. Just saying “I agree” in one form or another is not acceptable. A good reply might include a question of clarification, a question that is relevant to the topic but was not discussed, a counterpoint to the author’s points, or a well-supported disagreement. Be sure to keep your replies civil. Requirements: 500 (including replies) In the opening paragraph, provide a summary of the article. In the second paragraph, explain an economic idea contained in the story. Specifically, refer to material from the textbook, including the page number, and note how the economic idea plays a prominent role in the story. In the third paragraph, explain what you think about the events in the story. You do not have to agree with what is going on, but you do need to provide your reaction to it. This is your chance to express yourself: what are your opinions? Be sure to defend your position. Finally, what do you think is a Christian response to this situation? Provide details to support your view (in other words, do not just say “Christians wouldn’t act the same way as economists”). Be sure to title your thread according to your topic.
