Before the Flood by National Geographic documentary discussion
hi I have an assignment for ECON class online, and that is due on the Feb 17. The informathion you need is below Due February 17th: Before starting this discussion board you need to watch the movie “Before the Flood” by National Geographic. The movie is at the following link:https://archive.org/details/youtube-90CkXVF-Q8MAnswer with a brief answer (2 or 3 sentences) for each of the 5 questions given below:How is palm oil production in Indonesia related to the consumption of products in the United States economy, and what do multinational corporations' bottom line production choices (cited in the movie) have to do with Climate Change?Gidon Eshel (Research Professor and Environmental Physicist at Bard College) reveals how U.S. consumers, as individuals, may instantly reduce their own personal carbon footprint. What is his suggestion? Why would it matter (in measurable impact)?How many giga-factories does Elon Musk (Tesla Founder) believe it would take to power the entire planet's transportation and electricity needs (replacing 70 percent of carbon emissions with clean technology solutions) ? How big is Musk's solar and storage battery giga-factory, nearing completion this year?Dr. Piers Sellers (Astronaut and Director of Earth Science at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration--NASA) demonstrates a computer graphics simulation of earth systems which utilizes real-time data from 20 orbiting satellites and trend projections. Briefly summarize the findings that Dr. Sellers presents in this movie documentary.What role does a carbon tax (see Chapter 5) play in shifting the United States away from fossil fuels toward more sustainable energy alternatives? How is the success of such a tax related to the concept of the price elasticity of demand in Chapter 6?Do you support or oppose the imposition of a carbon tax? Explain you reasoning and reply to at least one other student concerning this policy.If the movie link above does not work, or if you need closed captioning (the names below, however, are shown with subtitle in the movie as each authority is introduced), you may have to google: “Before the Flood” movie by National Geographic. If you have a NetFlix account, the movie is available on Netflix. Or, you may rent the movie on-line if you require a closed captioned version. Rubric is provided in Monday Screencast for weeks 4 and 5 covering Chapters 5 and 6.

FIN 626 New York University This is Water Discussion Board Questions
What I want you to do first is read my powerpoint slides for “This is Water”. It is under documents. It is only 17 short slides and talks about System 1 and System 2 (this is from a book called Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnamen (who a Nobel Laureate in Economics). As you can see from the slides, System 1 is our natural default setting. It is about fast thinking. System 2 is about slow thinking. It is about doing something that is not automatic. However, by doing System 2 for a very long time you can make it into System 1 (for example if you play chess long enough you will see a move without having to think about it).Then I want you to listen (you can only listen to it—as there is no video) of a commencement speech by David Foster Wallace called “This is Water”. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMIThe speech is 22 minutes long. It is a commencement speech from 2005 Kenyon College in Ohio.After you listen to the speech answer the following discussion questions:In the grocery store when you are waiting in line and you are really tired (part of the speech) what behavior would be your default setting (System 1)? Why?Now what does Wallace think we should do instead if we can (System 2)?Assuming we can do what Wallace advocates in question 2, what will happen to us? That is, what are benefits of what he is talking about?To me the answers to questions 2 and 3 are really important in life. If you can do what he advocating in questions 2 and 3, you will be a better worker, a better manager, a better finance professional, a better spouse, a better parent, a better teacher, etc. It is hard to do this all the time but with practice it is possible. What he is talking about is very behavioral—maybe not economics or finance—but very important in leading a better life in my opinion.Feel free to completely ignore this if you do not like it. I admit it is a little weird and maybe a bit too preachy. But I am just trying to conclude the class in an unconventional, interesting way.

Please utilize the chart below also as part of your analysis for graphical representation of GDP by component.The submission should include a detailed written response reporting on all components of GDP for the time periods requested. Note, the course textbook can be a citation as a source for your assignment along with any other websites such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis (www.bea.gov) used to gather and report responses to these questions.Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before Friday at 11:55 p.m. by clicking the '**REPLY HERE**' post.
