Part I: A Closer Look at the Evidence
For the first part of this assignment, answer these questions using the NASA website:
Describe the graph on the NASA website. What does it show us about the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere? According to the following site (the United Kingdom's National Meteorological Service), what recent event contributed to the rising carbon dioxide levels? Met Office
The supporting data on climate change are grouped into different categories on the NASA website. How are these groups labeled? Is there agreement on these categories between the NASA website and the UK website (Met Office). If not, how do they differ?
Select the Effects tab at the top of this web page: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Summarize the effects of climate change listed here in one paragraph. Be sure to address the effect of climate change on our weathe
The assignment is in two parts.
Presentation (not graded but required). The group must present its country case study to class (and upload slides)...on a day to be timetabled. There is a 10-minute time-limit. This is not graded but it is required. The purpose is to give the class material to think about in relation to specific real-world economies, but also use the presentations to provide feedback to the group on their work-in-progress. All group members must take part.
Final graded report. The group must submit a written Country Case Study Report (2500 words, by Friday of Week 14). This is what is assessed (for general assessment criteria, see the Rubric on the home page)
The topic and content
Groups are allotted a country. There will be two groups studying each country and they will present in class on the same day, with an informal class vote on whose study is the best.

This is a current events report. I have chosen a section to have written. All that needs to be done is follow the template I have provided answering the questions. I also am providing a sample/example of what the outcome should look like and I am providing the rubric as well.
Please answer TWO of the following questions. Each response should be roughly 600-800 words.
1.Discuss how regional production networks (RPNs) have affected the Chinese economy. How have patterns of trade and FDI been affected by the development of RPNs? What effects have they had on patterns of growth, division of labor, changes in productivity, etc.?
2.Discuss Chinas transition to a market economy from 1978-96. What were the respective roles of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), township and village enterprises (TVEs), and private and foreign firms? Please reference growing out of the plan, reform without (and with) losers, and grasping the large, letting the small go.
3.Will China be able to surmount the middle-income trap? Why has Chinese growth slowed over the last 10 years? What is the evidence that China may be in the midst of the middle-income trap? What are some of the policy measures that the country is using to surmou

After your topic(Unemployment at a national level) has been approved, the next step is to research current articles and publications (within one year) and write an outline.

You may write a formal outline or present your information in paragraph form using current APA formatting. Regardless of the outline format, you must provide the following:

Like bread and butter go together, so do supply and demand. In this activity, you will select a country and explore the concepts of supply and demand and market equilibrium.
Locate a recent article (published within the last year) that discusses supply and demand of an exported good at the macro level. You can use the Hunt Library, newspapers, new stations, or other credible sources to locate an article. Analyze your selected country's exported good and determine the market equilibrium. Include the following in your discussion.
Identify the country chosen.
Discuss the exported good.
Define the Law of Supply and the Law of Demand.
Examine the change in demand, change in quantity demanded, change in supply, and change in quantity supplied. State how these concepts apply to your selected country.
Identify the determinants of supply and demand.
Explain factors that will shift the supply and/or demand curves to the left and/or to the right.
