Hi, I need help with essay on Crito. Paper must be at least 500 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

His association with then Athenian regime landed him in prison (Melchert 103). Even after being locked behind bars, Socrates held on to his philosophic principles of life. Socrates was unwilling to abandon his quest for truth even after being advised so by his trial jury. He believed in his wisdom and the power of reasoning rather than illusion reality. His firm devotion to his convictions and beliefs is illustrated well in the Crito incident.

Socrates was known to display a calm spirit concerning serious issues in his life. Even after being sentenced to death, Socrates accepted the jury’s decision and maintained that giving up his philosophy at the expense of freedom signifies defeat. In this Crito incident, Socrates friends who had visited him in jail devised a plan of getting Socrates out of prison. However, Socrates engaged his friends through a series of rational evaluation of their plan. His friends were faced with an obligation to rescue Socrates because of the society’s expectations on them, concerning Socrates’ sentence. As usual, Socrates subjected his friends’ idea into an evaluation on whether it was in concert with any moral values.

The basis of his friends’ plan was the expectation of the people after Socrates had been unjustly sentenced to death. Despite this underlying reason for the plan, Socrates opted to question the plan’s validity at the moral arena. He engaged his friends on the quest for what is truly right. Socrates always argued that in the context of decision-making, what matters most is not the public’s opinion but an individual’s knowledge on the subject problem (Melchert 107). He argued that the public are fond of acting randomly and usually fails to come up with rational justification of their actions. Socrates also based his argument on his belief that no one should think of doing something wrong, regardless of the state of affairs. He acknowledged the moral principle that it is not right to pay injustice with

International treaties are an important facet of diplomacy. Whether large or small, binding or non-binding in nature, they are a crucial tool in a toolkit that can—when done properly—help prevent wars, economic calamity, human suffering, environmental degradation, arms proliferation, and any number of negative effects.

For this class activity, please select an international treaty and respond with the following:

1) Name, year signed, and countries involved

2) Purpose of the treaty. (Why was it needed?)

3) What role did the U.S. play, if any? What commitments did the U.S. make?

4) According to your research, what have been the effects of this treaty? Is it viewed as successful, unsuccessful, or a mixed bag?

5) Anything else you’d like share from your findings!

PS2-ECN101

Problem 4: Suppose a country enacts a tax policy that discourages investment. As a result, the value of the parameter s ̄ now goes to a smaller value s ̄′.

a) Assuming that the economy starts at its initial steady state, use the Solow model to explain what happens to the economy (after the change of s ̄) over time and in the long run.

b) Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time (put Yt on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis). What happens to economic growth over time?

Problem 5: Suppose the level of TFP in an economy rises permanently from A ̄ to A ̄ ′ .

a) Assume that the economy starts at the initial steady state. Use the Solow model to expalin what happens to this economy (after the change of TFP) over time and in the long run.

b) Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time, and explain what happens to per capita income.

c) How is the response of the economy to the increase in TFP different from the economy’s response to an increase in the investment rate (like the one of Problem 4 above)? (Hint: Think about what happens to consumption)

Problem 6: In class we pointed out that, in the baseline Solow model, the variables K∗, Y ∗ remain constant in the long-run (that is, there is no long run growth since the economy settles at the steady-state).

a) Verify that the varibles y∗, C∗, c∗ are also constant in the long-run.1

b) Now suppose that everything in the Solow model remains the same excpet one assumption: labor supply is not constant over time any more, but assume that it grows at a constant rate per period. Intuitively (no need to write down any equations), will the variables K∗, Y ∗, y∗, C∗, c∗ still reach a long run steady state?
