Write 6 pages with APA style on Economic Indicators. This paper discusses the subject of fiscal policy based on the simulation Evaluating Fiscal Policy Alternative in which the player plays the role of president of the nation of Erehwon.

The gross domestic product of a nation measures the overall output of the economy. The most commonly used method to calculate GDP is the expenditure approach which is the sum of four variables: consumption, investment, governmental spending, and net exports (Quickmba, 2009). One of the objectives of any economic system is to achieve the higher possible gross domestic product which determines economic growth. The reason a higher gross domestic product in general terms is a favorable condition is that it raises the standard of living of the population. An economic metric that better illustrates the actual wealth of the inhabitants of a nation is GDP per capita which takes into consideration the population variable (GDP) population). As the president of a country with a low GDP per capita of $1,300, a figure comparable to the economic condition of Sri Lanka in 2006, my fiscal policy decisions are going to be tough (Finfacts, 2009). The aggregate demand/supply framework will be needed to facilitate my decision-making process.

The simulation starts me governing Erehwon in the year 2003. Two of my executives are proving me with recommendations and advice along the way. The country is currently facing a recession. My first and top concerns based on the principles of the aggregate demand and supply framework are too pay close attention to the twin evil of macroeconomics which is unemployment and inflation. The two biggest problems the economy is facing is a rising unemployment rate and low levels of consumer confidence. Problems with these two macroeconomics variables at Erehwon are similar to what is occurring in the US&nbsp.economy right now which is in the middle of a recession in 2009.&nbsp.

Provide a 6 pages analysis while answering the following question: People and Emotions. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The paper aims to explore the definitions and effects of people’s emotions in terms of existence in society and human interactions. To achieve the said goal, research had been undertaken regarding concepts and views that can explain the effects of emotions on social interactions.

Emotion is something that a person feels even at the very first second he was born. There are instances that a person experiences extreme feelings that are indescribable through words. Emotion is often so strong that it can build or ruin relationships. Adam Smith once declared that sentiment is the building thread that weaves the society together. Yet, it is also the same thing that can tear society apart.

Adam Smith stated in his The Theory of Moral Sentiments that:

As we have no immediate experience of what other men feel, we can form no idea of how they are affected by conceiving what we should feel in the like situation. Though our brother is upon the rack, as long as we are at our ease, our senses will never inform us beyond our person, and it is by the imagination only that we can form any conception of his sensations (1).

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. In the book The Cultural Politics of Emotion, Sara Ahmed agreed with Smith’s idea that a person’s emotion might be the core of a relationship with other people. Ahmed then stated that a single person could make a simple opinion, which can provoke another person’s emotions or a whole society. With the agreement on Ahmed and Smith’s thoughts, there is extreme evidence that though the feeling is intangible and unseen, it is a significant factor in alliances and rivalries (Ahmed, 1-2).

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. Emotion can be used for or against a particular person or group when there are factions either agreeing or conflicting toward a specific opinion or subject. Still referring to Ahmed’s thoughts, a “you” can be a “we” when emotions are evoked. On the other hand, the “we” can also become a “you” upon disagreement over an opinion. The feeling is a powerful entity in a person’s relationship, either with the family or society. &nbsp.The author also stated that the softest touch could determine the national character (Ahmed, 1-5).
