For each you will find an article containing material that is relevant to microeconomics, clearly link your article to material from the textbook, then compose a thread discussing the topic. The article you choose along with the textbook must be referenced in current APA format. Acceptable research sources for your articles include periodicals, journals, newspapers, and magazines. Sources such as Wikipedia, About.com, book reviews, and blogs are prohibited. You must demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the economic theory and outside research for the topic at hand.
Each thread must be at least 1-2 pages. For each thread, you must find a relevant article. Use the following guidelines when composing your thread:
• In the opening paragraph, provide a summary of the article.
• In the second paragraph, explain an economic idea contained in the story. Specifically, refer to material from the textbook, including the page number, and note how the economic idea plays a prominent role in the story.
• In the third paragraph, explain what you think about the events in the story. You do not have to agree with what is going on, but you do need to provide your reaction to it. This is your chance to express yourself: what are your opinions? Be sure to defend yourself.
• Finally, what do you think is a Christian response to this situation? Provide details to support your view.
• Be sure to title your thread according to your topic.
