In a minimum of 250 words, informally written and in first person (use I), share some key facts you learned about FDRs Four Freedoms speech and/or the New Deal programs you chose. Perhaps you simply relay some important information that you discovered, or perhaps you offer some personal thoughts and opinions. Want some more prompts to get you thinking? What made you choose the two New Deal programs that you did, what do you think these programs have meant to Americans, or what do they mean to you? 1. Visit the website Hows Life? 2024 from the OECD. Scroll down to Country Notes and select United States (in U-Z) and download the available PDF (should be a 6-page report). Select at least one more country and download the available PDF. Read through the summary information for the categories included in well-being index. 2. Compose a written response to the given prompt containing a minimum of 150 words. You should consider these questions 1. How does using this kind of data compare to using GDP in terms of the usefulness for comparing countries progress/well-being? 2. What surprises you about the rankings and comparisons regarding the U.S. and the other country you chose? 3. Are there other categories that should be incorporated into a more complete well-being index? 4. Of the categories included in the index, which do you find most important when making a comparison across countries regarding well-being? PART 2 The purpose of this assignment is two-fold: 1. Investigate macroeconomic concepts at a state level (such as unemployment, labor force participation, inflation, growth, etc.). 2. Use generative AI in a responsible way to assist your research and analysis. TASK 1. Select your state — For students with last names beginning with A-M, you may select any state (other than Georgia) that starts with a letter A-M. For students with last names beginning with N-Z, you may select any state that starts with a letter N-W. STATE CHOSEN IS: HAWAII 2. Select your choice of a Generative-AI platform (ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc.). 3. Ask the platform at least one question about the current state of your states economy. ***Note: you will need to save the AI-generated response to your question and upload to this discussion assignment. 4. For your initial post, please complete the following: 1. Summarize the information generated by the AI platform. 2. Provide a critique on what the AI report provided based on things learned in this course and/or reputable sources such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, FRED: Economic Data by the St. Louis Fed, or other reliable sites. There are lots of options here. A few are: 1. agree/disagree with the AI-generated information, 2. compare the AI report of current economic conditions to historical trends for that state, or 3. compare the statistics for their state against your selected state. Be sure to cite all sources used in your responses. 5. attach your generative AI report to your discussion!
