Document Summary

Above communities have institutions + r ituals + core doctrines, but not founder. In past people know what vaisnavism and saivism were but they did not understand hinduism. For the renouncer, the ultimate goal is liberation form the cycle of rebirth, not heaven. The vedic texts are revered by most orthodox hindus but there is a revaluation of the veda. Now people value the upanishads -> considered the most valued of the. According to the gita, people can worship whatever form they want. If they are devoted to the gods, they will reach the gods. If they are devoted to k rishna, they will reach k rishna. K rishna lets people worship whoever they want to worship but not all worship is equal. The only solution is that all gods are reincarnations of the same god! Hinduism cannot be said to be monotheistic or polytheistic -> it is something else. www. notesolution. com.

There has been a lot of talk about web 2.0 and its impact on the economy. Airbnb was been experiencing a level of pushback not seen at others like Uber. The attached article talks about AirBnB allowing hosts to be selective/prejudiced when deciding who they will or won't rent to. There has also been a lot of talk about renting space in gated communities and if that should be allowed. People feel protected in these communities and are claiming that allowing non-vetted "quests" negates this feeling of protection. Is it fair to decide to turn private living space into a rental without taking into consideration the wishes of the others who live around you? Web 2.0 seems to be focused on circumventing the rules and regulations that society builds up over time. Concerns over privacy, safety, and how "workers" are treated all seem to be in the process of being bypassed. Is this web 2.0 or just another way for companies (not the workers) to make money without keeping to the norms of society. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/opinion/how-airbnb-can-fight-racial-discrimination.html

In Costa Rica, only a few beaches remain that are nesting grounds for sea turtles. Some of those beaches have communities situated near them; traditionally, the local people collected the turtle eggs and sold them for their purported aphrodisiac powers. As a result, sea turtle populations became endangered. To protect the sea turtle populations, the Costa Rican government gave each family in these villages ownership of a portion of the beach to do with as the family pleases, including the harvesting and selling of sea turtle eggs. Sea turtle populations have started to increase. The economic rationale for this action has to do with the differences between public, common, and private goods. Select an example of your choosing that would display how the government could take an action (or has actually taken one) that might change how a resource would be treated in the future. Take a look at common resources (such as the turtles) and use your own example to explain the economic rationale for a positive result.
