write about 600 words   use own words  Paragraph*I. Explain the filmmaker’s thesis—the main point or points that he is trying to make in the film.  (This is nota description or summary of the film; it is an explanation of the director’s purpose, the central idea or ideas around which the film is organized). Also include a brief discussion of the scope of the film–the subject of the film and the time and geographical area that it covers (i.e. what the film is about).  Like the thesis, this should take no more than a sentence or two.  You should also include information about the director and the principal actors, writers, and production staff involved in the film 2.Next 2 paragraphs.  Give a broad, general summary of the film.  You cannot in 2 paragraphs summarize the entire film, but you can give description of the plot (1 paragraph) and a discussion of the major dramatic action (second paragraph).    3.Next 3-4 paragraphs.  Analyze with specific examples the depiction or race and racial issues in the film.  This should include both issues of plot, dialog, and dramatic action (content) and visual images; it should address not just the depiction of blacks, but the depiction or all racial groups depicted or discussed in the film.  4.Last paragraph.  Assess the film and its racial vision.  Do not tell me whether or not you liked it or found it interesting, but briefly tell me how successful the filmmaker was in achieving his objectives (thesis) presenting his racial vision; also note briefly the relationship of this film the its historical context. You may also cite briefly the strengths and weaknesses of the film (if you wish), but make sure address the other points listed for this section. *A paragraph should be 1/2 to 3/4 pages in length.  Do not write paragraphs that are too short or too long!

Write an economic forecast for one year from now for major global economy.  The forecast should include a history of the economy focusing on interest rates, price levels, unemployment rates, GDP growth rates, level of exports and imports, and other appropriate variables. The paper should also identify the current state of the economy with attention to the previous variables.  Finally, you should offer three possible scenarios for the future state of the economy with attention to significant fiscal and monetary policies that will impact the future.  Your paper should be 8-9 pages long, including a one-page bibliography containing your sources.  You may also use graphs and charts, but you need to explain relevant information contained within your graphs and charts. Here is a sample outline you could try to follow if you need more structure: Introduction – A story, a statistic, a quote, or other attention catcher to set the framework for your forecast.I. Description of the indicators that you will be using to forecast the economic future.  These indicators could be some of the indicators discussed at the web site investopedia: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/leading-economic-indicators.aspII. Description of the present state of the economy focusing on all the measures of the economy that are important such as GDP, M2, inflation rates, unemployment rates, growth rates, exchange rates, trade balances, etc.III. Your forecast for the future using the select indicators that you have selected to make your forecast.IV. Possible wild card events that could alter the outcome of your forecast.Conclusion – Summing up the material covered and bringing attention to the likely future direction of the economy.If you need to lengthen the paper out, you can look at variables in more detail.  For example you can break down investment into residential and non-residential investment, etc.  You can also look at different scenarios and how they might impact different variables.  If you can weight the probability of these scenarios, you can multiply those probabilities times the outcomes and add these sums up to come up with a forecast of what the future is likely to look like for a variable. For example, I could look at the probability of the Federal Reserve raising the target federal funds rate by .25%, .5%, or not raising it at all.  If there is a .5 chance to raise interest rate by .25 (.125) and .25 chance they will raise the interest rate by .5 (.125) and a .25 chance they will not raise the interest rate (.0), the average of these sums adds to .25.
