One of the most dramatic periods of fiscal stimulus took place during the major recession of 2008-2010. Not only were the conventional fiscal (and monetary) tools employed, but the federal government also pursued certain unconventional initiatives, such as the bailout of financial institutions on the brink of insolvency.

Class, this is an important assignment. Please read all the instructions carefully. This is not a discussion. Use the Submit button on the upper right.
Outcome #1: Be able to utilize tested research questions and search terms to locate scholarly articles.
Outcome #2: Be able to write concise and accurate summaries, integrate source information smoothly into original prose and cite sources correctly using correct MLA style.
Instructions:
- Using the research question(s) and search terms that you have been developing so far, find two sources that provide responses to some aspect of one of your research questions.
- One of these two sources must be from a scholarly journal. Scholarly journals can be found in the library databases. Look for peer reviewed articles as you will be using this type of source in your final project. Do not use abstracts.
Write a brief summary of only the sections in each of the two sources that respond to your questions. This will be a page or less overall. (Please do not summarize the entire article.) These summaries should be written formally, as if they were part of your paper.
Explain how this passage addresses your question.
Each source/summary should provide very different possible answers to your question(s).
Both of your summaries must include a quotation or paraphrase. Cite your sources correctly, using MLA style, and integrate any direct quotes or paraphrasing smoothly into your summary, citing these as well.
Examples of the correct use of source material are in the Powerpoint tutorial under Week Six.

This is a basic discussion post pertaining to Understanding Structural and Non-Structural Mitigation. The following basic instructions are below as well as an attached file with readings from textbook/module notes to help aid in the writing of this assignment.
Do any of the examples described in your readings exist in your community, neighborhood, or home? Explain your answer.
When the economy is in a recessionary mode, aggregate demand shifting inward is often the culprit. Deflationary pressures on prices ensue, and output falls, causing problems like higher unemployment and contraction of the economy.
When the economy is in a recessionary mode, what will likely be the actions by government using fiscal policy? Is it better to concentrate on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? Why?
Review how and why aggregate demand and aggregate supply shift inward and outward. English economist John Maynard Keynes developed a model that provides an explanation for the high and prolonged rate of unemployment of the Great Depression. According to Keynes, what are the major sources of economic instability? Fiscal policy is spending and taxation of the executive branch of the federal government; in recessionary times, what initiatives in spending and/or taxation are going to help the economy?

Before you start the self-scheduled screening, two items:
First, study the time-line of events leading up to the L.A. Uprising LA Uprising Timeline.pdfPreview the document
Second, gain some insight into the so-called, Black-Korean Conflict via a description of Michael Chos film, ANOTHER AMERICA
How did the idea for Another America begin?
The genesis of the project started in early 1992, before the riots. Around that time a few events took place which brought Black-Korean relations to the forefront. In Los Angeles, a Korean merchant shot and killed an African American teenager whom she accused of shoplifting. There was a fight that broke out between the two, and the Korean merchant killed this girl. The woman was convicted of murder, but sentenced only to parole. So that created a lot of outrage in the African American community. There was a lot being said about Black-Korean tensions. But I didn’t understand what that meant. When I was growing up, my father had a business and still has a business in the African American community in Detroit. He has been in the African American community for over thirty years.
So as I was growing up, I never saw anything of what the media called a “Black-Korean conflict.” My parents got along fine with their customers, especially my mother who was extremely friendly. I felt that the media didn’t know these communities and that they were in some ways creating a problem.
In January of 1992, I had an uncle who was murdered during a robbery at his store. His business was located in downtown Detroit, across from my father’s store. I felt that his death pointed to the deterioration and abandonment of the inner city, more so than to any inter-ethnic tension. The boy that killed him is African American, but no one in the family thinks of my uncle’s death as a racial issue since everyone that they come in contact with in their stores is African American.
The Langston Hughes African American Film Festival Underground Railroad Film Series presents ANOTHER AMERICA by Michael Cho
Filmmaker Michael Cho investigates his own family history and tragedy as he explores the Black/Korean conflict in the inner city as illuminated by the Los Angeles uprisings of 1992.
“In Another America, a documentary that I produced about the relationship between Korean American merchants and African Americans in the inner city, I looked at the murder of one of my uncles, an immigrant from Korea, during a robbery at his store in downtown Detroit. When he was murdered, my father, also a downtown merchant, called the local television news stations to have them cover my uncle’s death. He wanted to tell them a larger story about how the city had fallen apart under the weight of its abandonment and how this was connected to my uncle’s murder. Instead, the TV news programs told a tragic story of a family victimized by a random crime. The emotions were there in their report, but little context. Their coverage undoubtedly moved many who watched the news that night. But did it inform them?
