Bill of Economic Rights
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented what he termed a Second Bill of Rights, specifically, a Bill of Economic Rights to which he felt every American was entitled. For this forum:
1. View President Roosevelt presentation on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EZ5bx9AyI4).
2. As a budding anthropologist, what do you think of these rights? Write at least three sentences in response to each question.
(a) Should people be entitled to these rights? Explain why “yes,” or why “no.”
(b) Could they be achieved? Through what kind of political action?
Decision Support System and Solution
1- Identify a problem (opportunity) from the local (Saudi Arabia), regional (Middle-east), or global area.
2- Explain the context of the problem.
3- provide a model that is representing the problem; variables and relationships between them are to be specified.
4- Specify, generate or collect a data sets required for the model.
5- Provide a solution to the model using a different technique.
Notes:
1- Make sure that you provide a justification for each of the non-trivial elements of this model.
2- Be sure to make all your assumptions explicit. Egg: Genetic Solution (Objective function, size of the population, mutations and crossover parameters, convergence …etc.).
Economic definition of scarcity
Considering the economic definition of scarcity, would you say parking in Los Angeles is scarce? Why or why not?
I’m looking for 3-4 thoughtful paragraphs for your initial post (not just “Not if you know where to look” or “Parking–what’s that?”) framed in terms of what you have learned about scarcity. Any response that seems to quote too extensively from your text OR from any internet discussion of scarcity or parking will receive NO points.
