CT #4 Should the club cover explicit and implicit costs? Imagine that you are asked to consult with a drama club that puts on a play every year. The club asks you: How much should we charge for tickets if we want to cover our costs? You begin by listing the club's explicit costs and implicit costs and then make a recommendation whether ticket prices should cover the explicit costs, the implicit costs, or both explicit and implicit costs. Give the club three examples of each type of cost. What is your recommendation for ticket pricing: should they cover explicit costs, implicit costs, or both? Why? Your response must be at least three paragraphs in length and no less than 200 words.

Using a minimum of 3 approved sources (articles from major news outlets, academic journal articles, textbooks), post an original 4-5 well-developed paragraph response to the questions below by June 5th at 11:00pm and respond to at least two classmates' responses by June 8th at 11:00pm. Source documentation should be parenthetical (e.g. Smith 2010) and a list of sources must be included at the end of the initial post.

Research a good or service that creates a positive or negative externality.

Explain the good or service and the corresponding externality that it creates.

Propose a form of government intervention to correct this externality or explain the form of government intervention that already exists.

If there is existing government intervention, does it correct the externality problem?

Propose a market-based solution that would fix for the problem rather than government intervention. Evaluate the expected effectiveness of your market-based solution compared to government intervention.

Based on your analysis, do you think it is appropriate for the government to make decisions on our behalf and reflect those decisions in their policies? In formulating your answer, consider the circumstances under which such intervention may or may not be appropriate.

Episode 3: Justice for the Poor - Youtube

Discussion Question to Students: In the video Stephen Grabill noted, "God affirms private property. He gives us boundary markers, mile markers, stones that mark one person's property from another person's property." Think about this: You cannot be generous with somebody else's stuff. You can only be generous with your stuff, which means its has to be your own property that you give away." Why would God care about private property? Is his concern connected to the role he has given us as stewards of creation?

Academic Honesty

Students must attest that all material must be of their own authorship, and when quoting another source or referring to another person’s work, a reference should be made in the appropriate manner.

Discussion Forums

Students are required to participate in the all discussion forums. Participation requires, at a minimum, an original response to the discussion question as well as one or more replies to the postings of other students. Discussion forums represent the facilitation of concept discussion during a regular classroom session. It provides the opportunity for students to interact with each other regarding a concept. The typical process of a threaded discussion is as follows:

The instructor will provide a PovertyCure episode discussion question.

Students will respond to the instructor’s post by submitting a response (at least 100 words) that answers the question or describes the concept of their choosing. As you create your response, be sure to reference information from the PovertyCure episode viewed for this discussion forum. The initial post of each student should conclude with a critical thinking question that will spur further discussion by other students.

Student responses to other students should begin by naming the individual to whose post you are responding, along with one sentence that summarizes his/her point. This way, a person reading your post will understand to whom you are responding. Students must respond to at least one (1) other student. Responds should be at least 50 words in length.

Other students will read the initial post and the follow-up posts and then respond to the question embedded in the student's response with critical thinking and another leading question. As students respond to each other, the thread of discussion builds throughout the week.

Students should submit their initial post within 48 hours of watching the PovertyCure episode in class. Responses to the initial posts by other students should happen within one work (168 hours) of the initial post deadline.

The faculty member will step in from time to time to support, clarify, or further facilitate the discussion.
