In the course, cultural revolution is defined as a major change that impacts the way people in a culture lead their lives. This could be anything from a major terrorist attack like September 11, 2001 that impacts a feeling of security, or a change in technology that changes how people interact and work. It could be a positive change such as the fall of Communism in Europe during the 1980s, or a change in attitudes about women or minorities. Cultural revolutions can impact a single country or the global economy. In your own life, a cultural revolution may be a change in religious practice and belief, or an event that restructures the family unit. There are a variety of ways that culture and revolution can be defined, and this will be explored through two interviews.

Be prepared for the interview. Check out the document on Interview Protocol in Doc Sharing in order to know what to expect and how to conduct an interview.

You will select two people and interview them about the cultural revolutions that have had the most impact upon their lives. You should have at least 4-5 questions to ask, and be prepared to ask follow-up questions if you want more information. The objective is to see the impact of cultural revolutions upon societies, but an effective way to learn about the view of a member in the society is to ask an individual. You will not be required to a transcript of the interviews, but you should take notes so you can answer the Assignment question. The replies to the questions below, Part I and Part II, should be between 500 words.

  1. One at a time, you will want to introduce the person you are interviewing and explain why you chose them for the interview. Then, you will summarize their replies and highlight one or two interesting ways they viewed the cultural revolution as having an impact upon their life. How has this revolution improved or made life more challenging? How have they changed? How has their family changed? After you complete these steps with the first interview, write the same information for the second interview.
  2. Finally, you should draw conclusions about the process and the answers that were given. Compare and contrast the results of the interviews. Discuss what was similar or different in the replies. What did you learn about how these interview subjects saw their role in society? What is their attitude about the opportunities and challenges of this cultural revolution?

Please, Please be 100% correct and thank you very very much!!!!!!!

1.What is the double dividend hypothesis?

(a) The idea that Pigouvian taxes give firms an incentive to innovate and eventually lead to even greater reductions in pollution in the future.

(b) The idea that tax revenue collected from Pigouvian taxes could be used to offset other, more distortionary taxes like income or employment taxes.

(c) The idea that that tax revenue collected from Pigouvian taxes could be used to subsidize investment in clean technology. (d) A system where polluters pay up front to enter an industry and then receive a rebate for each unit of abatement.

2.Suppose there are two different polluters on the outskirts of Flagstaff Arizona, one on each end of town. Due to wind direction, the damages from polluter A’s emissions is 3 times greater than the damages from polluter B. Assuming firms have the same abatement costs, the efficient pollution tax should: 

(a) Charge A 3 times as much as B.

(b) Charge B 3 times as much as A.

(c) Charge both polluters the same.

(d) Not enough information.

3.Which of the following is true about the comparison of Pigouvian taxes vs. “cap and trade” systems? Circle all that apply.

(a) Taxes lead to uncertain emissions reductions but give certainty about marginal abatement costs.

(b) Cap and trade systems lead to uncertain emissions reductions but give certainty about marginal abatement costs.

(c) Taxes lead to uncertain marginal abatement costs but give certainty about emissions reductions.

(d) Cap and trade systems lead to uncertain marginal abatement costs but give certainty about emissions reductions. 

4.Which of the following is true about cap and trade systems? Circle one.

(a) They lead to a pattern of reductions that satisfies the equimarginal principle.

(b) They do not give strong incentives to innovate, compared to Pigouvian taxes.

(c) They are much easier to enforce than Pigouvian taxes.

(d) They lead to a fairer distribution of costs and benefits than technology standards.

  • Prepare a written analytical report (3-4 pages) on a juvenile delinquency treatment program in your community or any community of your choice. You were asked by the government to assess the juvenile delinquency program you selected in order to reform the existing program and perhaps add a few new ones. The government wants to increase reliance on alternative to incarceration programs, but needs to know if the current program is working. The government is thinking about adding more community programs, counseling, and after-school jobs for older juveniles.What is the name of the program you are assessing?
  • Where is the program located?
  • Have there been any studies completed on the effectiveness of the program you are reviewing for the assignment? What were the results of these studies? If no studies were done, would this have been informative?
  • What (if any) positive impact is the program providing for the community and the delinquents?
  • Will the program help to curb juvenile delinquency? Why?
  • What are the negative aspects of the program you reviewed?
  • Give specific suggestions for improving the program (none is not an appropriate answer here, there are always manners in which programs can be improved).
  • Explain your reasoning for supporting or eliminating the program.
