ECON 310
Phase 4 DB Assignment
The official Phase 4 DB assignment asks you to create an
outline for your Phase 4 IP paper. Because I am changing the Phase 4 IP
assignment, I must also make a change to the Phase 4 DB assignment. For your
Phase 4 DB assignment, please do the following:
Read and comment on the following three (3) articles
concerning immigration that are posted in the Instructor Files section of the
class homepage:
· Immigration
- Myths and the Facts Behind the Fallacies
· Immigration and American Jobs
· Immigration
and Its Contribution to Our Economic Strength
As I noted in the last chat, immigration is a very
interesting topic and I am pretty sure that what you have heard about
immigration in the press is only part of the complete story. My goal with this
assignment is not to sway your opinion about immigration but instead to open
your mind to different sides of the argument.
For your DB, merely share your thoughts about these
articles. Some questions to focus on might be:
· How did they
change or reinforce what you currently believe about immigration?
· How do these
articles either support or refute what you hear and read about immigration in
the press?
· What effect
does immigration have on wages?
· Does
immigration help or hurt a country’s output?
· What are the
advantages of immigration?
· What are the
disadvantages of immigration?
· What are
some of the current political and economic issues regarding immigration?
· What is the
debate surrounding the Dream Act about? (To discuss this, you need to do a
little research on the topic, but if you do, I guarantee that you will enjoy
the learning).
You do not have to discuss all of these questions. Remember,
this is a learning community. I want you to share your thoughts and ideas about
these topics (after reading the articles) so that you can spur one another on
to a higher level of critical thought.
