Document Summary

Two types of public speaking: extemporaneous spur of the moment, top of the head, prepared- having time to develop your material, having notes, just being ready and prepared ahead of time. Chance to tell others about what you learned. You know things about your topic that others do not. Break the ice use ice breakers. Interesting: use examples or stories, provide interesting facts. To the point: don"t go on and on and on and on, keep your comments simple but information. Develop presentation material: accuracy (content and spelling) Practice, practice, practice: friends/family, mirror, family pet, stuffed animals, record your speech, practice where you will do your actual presentation, accept criticism no one is perfect/there is always room for improvement, time yourself. Preview the main points that will be covered. Tell a joke, use a quote, use a poem to begin your speech. Highlight the central theme of your speech.

Comprehensive Final Essay: Perverse Subsidies
The negative effects of perverse government subsidies and how they directly compound other problems have been mentioned throughout the textbook and in Myers’ guest essay “Perverse Subsidies”. In order to answer the questions below, you’ll be gathering your information from various chapters. If you remember sufficient detail without having to look things up, you must say so (“from memory”). Otherwise, please cite all pages consulted.

NOTE: I am NOT asking for a recap of all the environmental and social problems associated with agriculture, fisheries, mining, etc. (That would be a very long discussion!) Each chapter section describes information specific to subsidies for each industry. Please summarize in your own words.
