1. Contrary to the misperceptions of those who oppose addressing extreme income inequality, few advocates for change actually believe in anything close to perfect equality. Most, including myself, believe that it is 1) impossible and 2) undesirable. Discuss why there are reasonable reasons for moderate, or even large, levels in income inequality, even if extreme inequality is detrimental to the welfare of most persons in a country.
2. One of the major problems being faced in economics today is the issue of asymmetric information. Referencing both the module on asymmetric information and the module on conditions necessary for an efficient market, what is the effect of this condition on an internet company such as eBay? Would your analysis also apply to the same degree to Amazon? Why?
3. You have been in business for 18 months and overall you are doing well, as defined by covering the costs of your operations and securing enough revenues to allow you to make your house payments and otherwise cover living expenses. You believe that if you could only expand operations, then your business and personal perspectives will improve. This would require a loan from a financial center. Discuss what you need to research and review to confirm this decision, both for yourself and for the lending institution.

Title: Understanding the Elements of Operational Art: An Information Paper
Read Army Design Methodology. Review ATP 5-0.1. Review TR1-11. Review AR 25-50. Read Information Paper Assignment Instructions.
You are simply writing facts. That being said, this assignment is not an APA style paper so don’t structure this paper as an essay; no in-text citations, no reference page. Do not be concerned with plagiarism with this assignment so it is ok to extract information verbatim from resources.
Build your paper from scratch (Sterile Word document). Do not use a formatted template.
Ensure you format your Word document like the essay assignment such as the line spacing Before and After; make sure it is set to “0” (zero) for both. Only difference is to set it to single, not double-space. If not, your line spacing will be incorrect for the entire paper.
Spacing after periods/punctuation: AR 25-50 calls for one space, TR 1-11 calls for two spaces. Either is acceptable but it must be consistent.
The center of the paper is at 3.25!
You will have to refer to AR 25-50 for formatting guidelines. Don’t just look at the example in TR 1-11 and “guesstimate” the formatting.
For transparency, the only software tool we use to check for errors and passive voice is via Word. Refer back to the Writing Fundamentals link. There is another error software check tool out there commonly known as Grammarly but we don’t use this because not all students have access or an account to it. Also, there are minor differences or nuances between Word and Grammarly, particularly with passive voice. You should have 0 (zero) passive voice.
Learn from the resources provided to you such as the video and PowerPoint, especially ATP 5-0.1 when answering the question in the assignment instructions. Don’t just throw “fluff” in the content of the paper.
Purpose
An Information Paper is used to provide the reader pertinent facts in a clear and concise format. IAW TRADOC Regulation 1-11 write an Information Paper.

Expectations
1. Starting from a sterile MS Word document, write an Information Paper onthe topic above. Your paper must:
-be one full page maximum-follow the formatting guidelines in TR 1-11-follow rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation (run a spelling and grammar check before submission)-use XXXX-XX for the office symbol-use Colonel Bill E. Pultz for the “Approved by:” nameNote – spacing after punctuation; AR 25-50 calls for once space. TR 1-11 calls for two spaces. Either is acceptable but must be consistent.

“Modernizing Pablo Neruda’s Translated Poems: Polishing for Clarity and Accessibility”
These are Pablo Neruda’s poems I have translated from Spanish into English, but they need to be polished. I need them to be modernized, check punctuation, use words everyone knows and can understand easily (avoid using outdated words that might confuse people, use common words and make the writing clear and easy to read).

Assignment
Compose a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:
Identify the statement you selected.
Based on the information you encountered in the Learning Resources and the article you read, complete the steps below for the statement you selected:
Statement 1: Sexual Arousal and Motivation
State whether or not it is possible to determine the biological sex of a person by looking at a brain scan of them while they are sexually aroused. Explain why and include the following in your rationale:
An analysis of what is known about how sexual arousal is processed in the brain (as it relates to your stance)
An explanation of your opinion on whether or not sexual arousal is processed in the same way biologically by males and females
Statement 2: Biology and Sexual Orientation
State whether or not you think it would be possible to tell a person’s sexual orientation from a brain scan or some other technique or test (e.g., EEG, blood test, etc.). Explain why and include the following in your rationale:
An analysis of scientific evidence supporting or denying the idea that biological factors may influence sexual orientation
An evaluation of the strength of the evidence connecting sexual orientation to biological processes (as it relates to your stance)
Statement 3: Male Birth Control Pill
State whether or not you think it is possible to have a male birth control pill that manipulates hormones in men in similar ways as does the female birth control pill in women. Explain why and include the following in your rationale:
An analysis of evidence of biological and social factors that impact the development of a male birth control pill
An evaluation of how a male birth control pill would work, including an explanation of how it would alter biological factors and how close scientists are to developing such a pill for males
Notes:
In your paper, you should address neurobiological factors rather than any religious or moral concerns.
Use what you learned from the article you selected to support your points. Support your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment. Use APA style for in-text citations and references.
