What have you learned so far that may have changed you in any way? How will you put your beliefs and values into practice? How can you maintain your beliefs and values when practicing as a nurse?

What might Nozick mean by “[p]erhaps what we desire is to live (an active verb) ourselves, in contact with reality”? Is he right that “this, machines cannot do for us”—why? How so?

Choose 1 of the following 3 essay topics below and write a  paper responding to the prompt. Those questions and suggestions are designed to get you thinking about potential ways to address the prompt, but you cannot hope to address all of these matters sufficiently in your paper. Rather, the point is to help you brainstorm ways to address the central questions of the essay prompt. Recall Robert Nozick’s “Experience Machine” set of example scenarios from your reading—not just the first case, but the whole series of machine-examples, including the “result machine.” Describe if/explain how Nozick’s examples count against various views of the good or well-being(especially those we discussed). What sort of views of well-being or what’s good, if any, might escape the worries his examples generate? Explain. Is there a type of consequentialism that might satisfy Nozick’s misgivings as expressed by his “Experience Machine” examples? If so, what sort and how so?(You may wish to bring Susan Wolf’s paper, “Happiness and Meaning: Two Aspects of the Good Life” into your discussion here, but you do not have to.) Potential ways of proceeding and questions you might consider along the way: What might Nozick mean by “[p]erhaps what we desire is to live (an active verb) ourselves, in contact with reality”? Is he right that “this, machines cannot do for us”—why? How so? What kinds of views of the good, if any, seem unassailable by intuitions about “experience machines”? Why? If you do not think Nozick’s machine-example worries could not, in principle, be adequately addressed by a consequentialist theory, explain why you think this, providing an argument that touches upon consequentialist views and views of the good that we have discussed in this course (perhaps among others). If you do think a consequentialism can be formulated that steers clear of Nozick’s objections, explain why you think this:what view of well-being or good/bad consequences would be involved? What does this consequentialism say should be done with regard to this understanding of the good—viz. should it bemaximized, evenly distributed, etc., or something more complex? How does such a view differ, if at all, from the classical utilitarianisms of Mill and Bentham? Provide an argument that this form of consequentialism can quell the misgivings that Nozick articulates by means of his “Experience Machine” examples.

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.

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.
