The American Past

/in /by

Reading Chapter 22 the American Past and complete Comparison Questions. Questions 3-5 Only
To what extent were A. Mitchell Palmer’s raids against the Red menace an outgrowth of President Wilson’s wartime policies? Based on the documents in this chapter, how might Debs have responded to Palmer?
To what extent did Debs’s advocacy of socialism address the issues raised by Stanley B. Norvell? Did Norvell endorse Debs’s stance toward the war and other matters?
The wartime appeal to patriotism intensified domestic concerns about who was authentically American. Considering the documents in this chapter, what ideas do you think existed about who genuine Americans were, how they could be recognized, and what their duties and responsibilities were?

Measures of Unemployment

/in /by

(1) Does education pay? Do people with higher educational attainment typically earn higher
incomes? Are they less likely to be unemployed? For more information on the relationship between
educational attainment, median income, and unemployment rates, you may use this BLS webpage:
https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2016/data-on-display/education-matters.htm (Links to an
external site.)or find other sources. Make sure to cite any sources used.
(2) What about a person who has given-up looking for a job? Is that person “unemployed”? The BLS
definition says no. (That person is instead classified as “not in the labor force.”) What do you think?
Should such people be counted as unemployed? Explain.
(3) Does unemployment compensation increase unemployment? Between 2008 and 2010 federal
laws extended eligibility for unemployment compensation for up to 99 weeks in states with
persistently high unemployment rates. Some argue that longer eligibility for unemployment
compensation may, in fact, discourage people from seriously seeking employment. Do you agree or
disagree? Explain why.
(4) Which of these alternative measurements of unemployment do you think is the most
meaningful measurement of unemployment in the economy? Explain why

Measurement of Inflation

/in /by

In order to receive full credit for this discussion, you need to post an answer of at least 100 words
to two of the three main questions below. Explain why. The goal is to motivate careful consideration
and discussion of the measurement of inflation.
(1) Which is a more meaningful measure of “inflation” – the one using the headline CPI-U (including
energy and food prices) or the one using “core” CPI-U (excluding energy and food prices)? Why?
From which perspective?
(2) Try the CPI Inflation Calculator: http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm (Links to an
external site.) to determine the historical price of something you might buy today. (Type a dollar
amount in any year at the top. Select the year at the bottom to determine how much the top
amount was worth in the bottom year.) Remember, prices of all expenditure categories have not
changed at the same rate. Any calculation you make with the calculator is based on the changes in
the “CPI-U for all Items.”
(3) Take a look at the details of the most recent Consumer Price Index news release:
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.htm (Links to an external site.)
Do you see any specific product groups that went up or down in price more or less than the
average? Can you suggest any factors that may have affected those product prices?
