Assignment 1: Demand-side Policies and the Great Recession of 2008
Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.
Develop an essay discussing the fiscal and the monetary policies adopted and implemented by the federal during the Great Recession and their impacts on the U.S. economy. Complete this essay in a Microsoft Word document, and in APA format. Note your submission will automatically be submitted through “TurnItIn” for plagiarism review. Please note that a minimum of 1500 words for your essay is required.
Your paper should be structured as follows
1. Cover page with a running head
2. Introduction: What is the economic meaning of a recession?
· A brief discussion of fiscal policies
· A brief discussion of monetary policies
3. Conclusions: Discuss the extent to which the use of demand side policies (fiscal policy and monetary policy) during the Great Recession of 2008 has been successful in restoring economic growth and reducing unemployment
4. References
Include in your essay analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of deficit spending and the effects of federal government borrowing on the economy i.e., the “crowding out” effect.

Excitation of the Skeletal Muscle Fiber
Skeletal muscle fiber contraction begins with
excitation of the fiber by a somatic motor neuron. The nerve signal must first cross the neuromuscular junction to excite the muscle fiber. Excitation depends on a complex sequence of events that is reviewed in Chapter 10 of your textbook. This week’s assignment will give you practice describing these events.
Begin your paper with a description of the neuromuscular junction. What are the main structural features of the motor neuron and skeletal muscle fiber where the two meet? Then address the following topics:
Starting with an action potential traveling down the axon of the motor neuron, how is the signal transmitted across the synaptic cleft to the muscle fiber?
How is an End Plate Potential generated?
How is an action potential initiated and propagated to the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
What happens at the sarcoplasmic reticulum that leads to a contraction?
How does the structure of a skeletal muscle fiber enable contraction to occur?
Requirements:
Your paper should be 2 pages in length, excluding title and reference pages.
Include at least two scholarly references, in addition to the course textbook. Also cite your sources in the body of the paper.
Conform to the APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center.
The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.

Research and discuss one of the following topics in the US (be sure to reference your source of information). Be sure to include: epidemiology (prevalence/incidence, risk factors), signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Include minimum two images embedded in your post. Note: do not attach a file as your post. Use the text box and the images icon to formulate your post. Congestive heart failure
Research this disease and tell us about certain aspects of the disease. Make sure to include:
Origin of the name
Etiology
Epidemiology (incidence or prevalence rates, populations affected (age, gender, ethnicity, regions))
Signs and symptoms
Diagnosis
Treatments
Prognosis
Each section of your post should contain these headings. Include at least two pictures in your post (i.e. an unusual sign and/or symptom, a chart, a graph, a diagnostic tool). Use the Insert/Edit Image icon; do not include your picture as an attached file.
Some of these diseases affect other organ systems as well; please mention these systems but mostly focus on their effects on the homeostatic effects since that is this module’s topic.
Warning: Do not copy and paste from online sources. Create original descriptions using words from your A&P vocabulary that you have learned this semester. Cite your sources at the end of your post.
There is a 400-word count minimum for your post.
