Throughout Sales books, Dwellers in the land, it proposes the concept of bioregionalism, an alternative way of organizing society to create smaller scaled, more ecologically sound, and individually responsive communities with renewable economies and cultures. Sale argues that the scientific world view that we adopted has turned the world upside down-and brought it to its present crisis, and that bioregionalism is the solution to this problem (23). While bioregionalism could help protect the earth, the scale of the plan seems to large for countries like the United States and Australia to adopt. Does Sale describe how industrialized countries will change their economy and lifestyle toward a smaller-scaled region? How would bioregionalism prevent catastrophes such as wildfires?
For this assignment, choose a product or service. Feel free to use something produced by your current, former, or prospective employer. For example, it may be a certain drug produced by Merck which operates in the pharmaceutical industry. Answer the following questions (3-5 pages total). Be sure to start each answer with a new paragraph or use question numbers. Two people will work on this assignment together (they will receive the same grade).
Describe the product/service: Is it a normal/inferior good? Is it a necessity/luxury? Does it have complements / substitutes?
What specific factors influence the demand for the products/services by consumers (e.g.: advertising, weather, location, interest rates…)? Explain briefly how each of these factors influences demand for the product.

Explain how the firm can increase its profits by using price discrimination. What segments of the market could be charged higher / lower prices, and why? What might be your guess for the range of these prices?
In part 2 and 3 you identified demand and supply shifters for your product. Choose one demand and one supply factor. Sketch two SD diagrams to illustrate how an increase in this factor will shift D or S curves, and what happens to the market P and Q in each case. Explain briefly.
Handwritten graphs are easier and faster than fancy graphs.
