In late February, March, and early April we will spend much of our time discussing the ideas developed by Acemoglu and Robinson in their book, Why Nations
Fail. This book is extremely wide ranging, covering human events from 11,000 years ago to the present day. Acemoglu and Robinson analyze and discuss many, many interesting and important historical episodes. These include
the end of the Roman Republic in the first century B.C.,
the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century,
the Black Death, which killed a huge fraction of the population of Europe in the late 1340s,
the expansion of trade between Europe and the Americas in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries,
the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which established that the English King was subordinate to Parliament,
the Meiji Restoration of 1868, which put Japan on the path to economic development,
the rise and fall of the Soviet Union,
the Civil Rights era in the southern United States,
the economic rebirth of China after 1978,
and many more.
I would like you to write a short paper, commenting on one (or a few) of the events which receive prominent attention in the book. The idea of the paper is to identify an event, or a set of events, and describe why those events are important, and how they contributed to subsequent economic and political development. You should connect the event(s) that you have chosen with the broader themes of the Acemoglu-Robinson book.
You may choose from the list above, or you may choose from among the many other episodes covered by Acemoglu and Robinson. In class, I will try to provide some perspective on Acemoglu and Robinson, and you may incorporate the ideas discussed in class into your paper. And, of course, you may also do your own research.
You may quote from Acemoglu and Robinson, and from other sources, but it is best not to use lengthy quotes. I would like you to develop your own ideas, and not merely to string together a series of quotes.
***I WANT TO CHOOSE THE TOPIC ” the rise and fall of the Soviet Union,”

Food companies have often been accused of targeting children with adverts for unhealthy products such as fast food, confectionery and snacks. Your task is to
determine the extent of such targeting and its appropriateness.
1) Review the websites of three major food companies serving these markets in your country ( for example, one fast food , one confectionery, and one snacks),
and collect examples of communications to customers.
2) Record three hours of TV programming on Saturday morning and note the details of all the adverts – the product , the advertiser and the target.
3) Assess the extent of advertising of "unhealthy food" to children based on this evidence – is it more or less than other products? Are children
targeted more than adults?
4) Analyse the way that children are communicated to in these marketing communications. To what extent are advertisers taking advantage of the vulnerability
of children?

Purpose:
The first assignment focuses on identifying your values using at least one self- assessment (work values inventory; interview with significant other;
structured autobiography), reflection on experiences and academic readings.
Values are deeply embedded in our identity and usually we are not conscious of our values, or the values of other people. One way that we can become aware of these implicit values is when they clash. Thus, in this report you are asked to describe and reflect upon experiences in which you have experienced value conflict. The report can be written in the first person, as it is a report about you.
The report should focus on conflict that has an ethical dimension, rather than issues of quality or worth. Such as: Health or safety, Moral or religious
concerns, Fairness or equity.
Tips
• Adhere to all requirements
• Focus on ethical situations – Eg You were asked to lie, ?cheat or steal, or someone is being dishonest, morally ?questionable etc
• Do not use work performance issues. Eg Being told off for ?being late or making a work process error
• Focus on understanding actions rather than attributing ?blame
• Apply knowledge from assigned readings
Required Format:
1. Introduction: Define values (approx. 200 words)
a. Using at least two academic sources, define what values are and identify core values.
b. How does the definition/s relate to your personal and work experience?
2. Describe 2 experiences of values in conflict (approx 800 words):
2a Experience 1

you spoke up and acted to resolve the conflict. In your description include the answers to the following questions:
i. Describe what happened and the impact of your action.
ii. What motivated you to speak up and act?
iii. How satisfied are you with the action? How would you have liked to have responded? (This question is not about rejecting or defending
past actions, but rather about imagining your ideal scenario)
iv. What would have made it easier for you to speak or act? (Consider both things within your control and things within the control of others).
2b Experience 2
Recall a time in your work experience when your values conflicted with what you were expected to do in a particular important work-related decision and you did not speak up and act to resolve the conflict. In your description include the answers to the following questions:
i. Describe what happened.
ii. Why didn’t you speak or act?
iii. How satisfied are you with the action? How would you have liked to have responded? (This question is not about rejecting or defending past actions, but rather about imagining your ideal scenario).
iv. What would have made it easier for you to speak or act? (Consider both factors within your control and things within the control of others).
* You can use experiences from your full time job, summer job, internship, student club, student team project or family setting. Always describe your role in the organization at the time of the decision.
3. Conclusion: Reflection and lessons learned (approx. 500 words)
Reflect on the experiences described above in light of the results of at least one of the self assessments (WVI, ISO and autobiography).
Identify 2 lessons learnt from the experiences above. Apply what you have learned about yourself to your career. You are expected to use at least two academic sources to support your analysis.

Essay 1
A group of researchers conducted an experiment to determine which vaccine is more effective for preventing getting the flu. They tested two different types of vaccines: a shot and a nasal spray. To test the effectiveness, 1000 participants were randomly selected with 500 people getting the shot and 500 the nasal spray. Of the 500 people were treated with the shot, 80 developed the flu and 420 did not. Of the people who were treated with the nasal spray, 120 people developed the flu and 380 did not. The level of significance was set at .05. The proportion of people who were treated with the shot who developed the flu =.16, and the proportion of the people who were treated with the nasal spray was .24. The calculated p value = .0008. For this essay, describe the statistical approaches (e.g., identify the hypotheses and research methods) used in this excerpt from a research study.
Interpret the statistical results and examine the limitations of the statistical methods. Finally, evaluate the research study as a whole and apply what you have learned about hypothesis testing and inferential statistics by discussing how you might conduct a follow-up study.
Your essay must address the following points:
Describe the research question for this experiment.#9702;What were the null and alternative hypotheses?#9702;Were the results of this test statistically significant?
#9702;If so, why were they significant?
Would the researchers reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
Do the results provide sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis?
Was the sample appropriate for this study? Explain your answer.
What are some possible limitations to this study?
Discuss how you would conduct a follow up study to this one. Explain your answer.
Describe the difference between practical and statistical significance.
