5th Entry – Creative Nonfiction: In the preface to nonfiction (p. 2803 of your text), the editors tell us that creative nonfiction illustrates that “no direct duplication of reality is possible in language, that all writing is affected by the author’s point of view” (Baym et al, 2014, p. 2803). Do you think that is true? Can there such a thing as a truly reliable narrator? Consider the excerpt from Danticat’s Brother, I’m Dying that you read this week as you prepare a response to this question. How is this point made (or not) in Danticat’s writing?
6th Entry – Conclusion: Write a summary and evaluation of how well you met the goals you set for yourself in the first week of class
One typical characteristic differentiating U.S. public policy compared to Europe is that U.S. governments often use tax incentives rather than explicit government programs to pursue particular policy goals (which include providing pensions, medical insurance, home ownership, or private investment). For example, European governments might provide larger government pensions for retirees where the U.S. might provide modest government pensions through Social Security and then encourage firms to provide additional pensions for its workers by giving tax breaks for the funds that the firms devote to their pension plans. Look at the list of tax expenditures in Table 12-1 of your text. Which do you think are more valuable than others? Why? Would public goals sometimes be better pursued through explicit government spending rather than the equivalent tax breaks? Offer examples. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. the 7th ed. of the text is attached below
Division of Government Functions atleast250words
Our federal system divides responsibilities between the various levels of government (federal, state, local). Take a look at the government functions listed in the United Nations Classification of Governmental Functions in Appendix 5-2 of the text. Discuss which functions you think would best be handled at the central, state and local levels and why. Beyond determining which level of government may best handle certain functions, it is important to consider funding sources. How do you think functions at the state and local levels should be funded — through grants or own-source revenue? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each option?

What are the economic benefits of union membership to employers, and to what extent can these benefits be increased before employers face problems?
Careful scrutiny and constructive criticism are an integral part of the scientific process. Publishing a research paper in a peer-reviewed journal is just one of many steps in the process of scientific inquiry. Students, however, commonly perceive the publication of a scientific research article as the end of scientific inquiry. On the contrary, one of the key features of the scientific process comes after publication, namely how the science community responds to claims put forth by scientists. The science community examines research articles carefully for errors in assumptions, procedure, logic, and conclusions drawn. Scrutinizing the ideas and work of other scientists is an important communication skill for students to learn because it is a critical step in the process of scientific inquiry.
