Assignment:
Your assignment is to examine the following scenario and determine how the economic theories and concepts you learned this term can be applied to address the questions below. Your response to these questions can be in the form of a short story, a play, a newspaper article, an interview, etc. Be as creative as you like - just be sure to weave together a logical economic analysis. The point of view you take on the topic is entirely your choice. You may address the citizen portrayed in the situation or you may "talk about" the situation to a third party.
For example, you may be a prosecutor summarizing your argument about a crime in which the defense has stated the catalyst for the crime is the economic situation. Or you may be a patient in therapy whose obsession is economics. Let your mind wander and explore, but remember to maintain the applications of economics in your creative work.
