“The Heckscher-Ohlin Trade Theory is about how two countries can get greater gains from trading with each other if they have different resources one have more labor and the other have more capital (that is technical equipment and machinery).

By specializing in production, and by trading with other countries, it is possible for countries to increase their incomes. Even though countries as a whole benefit from specialization and international trade, all groups in society, workers and capitalists, do not gain according to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. If international trade leads a country to specialize in producing goods that require lots of workers and little capital, such a specialization increases wages (which benefits the workers) but decreases the income of the capital owners. But the country as a whole benefits because the gain of the workers is bigger than the loss of the capital owners.

The Trade Ruler game is set in “the Hechscher-Ohlin world” you are to make an island (a country) prosper by trading. As a ruler of an island you want to engage in international trade to achieve this goal” (Nobel Media, 2011).

After playing the game (estimated to last about 15 minutes), answer the following questions in the form of a short essay. Your completed essay should be at least 250 words in length:

1. Did your selected country have more labor or capital?
2. Why did you select this particular country?
3. Did your selected trading partner have more labor or capital?
4. Why did you select this particular trading partner?
5. Did you increase or decrease the welfare of your country by engaging in international trade? Why?

Choose one of the main Presidential candidates and advise them on how to best run their campaign in TEXAS.

Project description
The presidential primary election process is currently underway. Each of the main candidates must decide how he or she can best appeal to voters in each state, which requires an understanding of the politics and demographics of that state. Choose one of the main presidential candidates running in either the Democratic or the Republican primary, and assume that candidate will be his or her partys presidential nominee. As the candidates campaign advisor for Texas, you are responsible for advising your candidate on how to best campaign in preparation for the general presidential election in November 2016. Write a three page minimum memo to your candidate outlining the strategy he or she should use to maximize his or her vote in Texas. Consider the following in your memo:
Key demographics in Texas which voters are likely to support the candidate and which voters the candidate should attempt to reach out to
Key issues that Texas voters care about most in this election
The message your candidate should pursue, based on the issues and concerns of the voters in Texas
Interest groups working on behalf of your candidate in Texas
How your candidate should challenge the other presidential candidate(s) based upon the politics, interests, and concerns of Texas voters (in other words, what are the strengths of the other candidate(s) that your candidate needs to counter, and what are the weaknesses of the other candidate(s) that your candidate should address)
Note: You are exploring the campaign process in order to analyze Texas politics in action. You should demonstrate an understanding of Texas politics and Texas voters through the lens of the current presidential election. Be analytical and critical in your response, and support your arguments with specific examples. This assignment is not asking for a simple list of your candidates political positions, nor is it asking for a discussion of Republican and Democratic political positions; rather, you are to analyze campaign strategy in terms of Texas politics. Additionally, this assignment is neither asking for an opinion of the candidates nor commentary on the rightness or wrongness of their political positions. You are not being asked to provide personal opinion for or against the candidates you need to make well-researched, supported arguments about how your candidate should run his or her campaign in Texas by considering Texas politics, demographics, issues, and concerns.

Passage Analysis: Nikolay Gogol, “The Greatcoat”

Project description
Discuss the significance of the passage in terms of the themes and images it presents as well as its relation to the work as a whole. Your discussion should not just be a summary of the plot of the work, but should present an analysis of the important themes, images, and ideas present in the passage, as well as address how those elements relate to the rest of the story.

From The Greatcoat:
The young clerks joked and made witticisms at his expense, as far as their office wit would stretch. There, in his presence, they told all kinds of stories they had made up about him and his landlady, an old woman of seventy; they said she beat him, asked when the wedding would be, and showered little scraps of paper on to his head, saying it was snowing. But not a word of response came from Akaky Akakiyevich, who carried on as if there were no one else there; it did not even affect his work: amid all these aggravations he made not one error in his copying. Only when the joke became too unbearable, when they jogged his elbow and stopped him carrying on with his work, would he say, Let me be. Why do you torment me? And there was something strange in the words, and in the voice that uttered them. In that voice was something so evocative of pity that one young man, who had recently been appointed, and who, following the examples of others, was on the point of allowing himself to make fun of Akaky Akakiyevich, suddenly stopped, as if transfixed, and from that moment everything was changed before him and appeared in a different light. Some strange power pushed him away from his colleagues, whom he had taken, on first meeting them, to be decent, cultivated men. And for a long time afterwards, at moments of the greatest merriment, there would appear before him the figure of the little clerk with the balding forehead, uttering his piercing words, Let me be. Why do you torment me? In these piercing words was an echo of other words: I am your brother. And the poor young man would bury his face in his hands, and many a time in his life he would shudder to see how much inhumanity there is in man, how much savage coarseness can lie concealed in refined, cultivated manners and dear God! even in a man society regards as noble and honourable.
