Assignment:
Your choices as individuals and households are really based on economic decision making. Use the concepts discussed in ECN340 to explain how the institutions (law, government, markets, etc.) in the society/societies of your choice has influenced you/your family’s life experience, decisions and expectations. It should also include how your contribution is/can be used for the benefit of all.
Provide a word processing document in 12pt, Times New Roman font, double-spaced with XXXXXXXXXXwords.
Notes:
Students in our class come from a diverse set of disciplines so your papers will be different. However, you may all want to provide some background about your economy -the system of government, legal setup, etc.
Please remember your investment in education or health care, your career choice and general decision making are dependent on (but not limited to) the legal and economic structure su
ounding you, the functioning of markets, responses to market failure, etc. It is not realistic to complete your paper without mention of the stumbling blocks you/your family encountered or expect to encounter along the way. Your welfare/happiness is also impacted by the behaviour of those around you which includes those you compete with and do business with.
Grades will depend on substance, clarity, and cohesion.
