Assessment 1 – Critical Review (15%)

In about 600 words summarise and critically evaluate the main arguments developed in one of the readings in SGY120. These can be found in e-Reserve.

Helpful hints:
• Instead of summarizing the whole article you may find it more useful to highlight what you consider to be the central points.
• Explain the key concepts employed by the author and say something about how they are used.
• Where possible comment on how the author justifies his or her argument/s (for eg, statistical or documentary evidence, examples, logical reasoning, citing relevant authorities, quoting other sociological research, etc.).
• Your critical evaluation should include discussion of how successful you think the author is in formulating his or her argument. Feel free to couch this in the first person (ie, ‘I think…’ or ‘My impression is…’) but try to avoid appearing subjective, emotive, biased or simply opinionated.
Please note that we expect this piece of writing to be written in essay form. You also need to comply with the guidelines to referencing set out in Assignment Guidelines (see Assessment Table of Contetns), this includes page references for direct citations and a list of all texts referred to in the assignment. If you are in any doubt with regard to referencing, or other aspects of essay writing, please consult the course convenor.

Written Assignment

This assignment is a book review. It is a paper that critically evaluates the book Identifying Citizens. ID
Cards as Surveillance by David Lyon; and, tells the reader what the point it is trying to make and how
convincingly it makes this point. Writing a critique achieves three purposes. First, it provides you with
an understanding of the information contained in a book and a familiarity with other information written
on the same topic. Second, it provides an opportunity to apply and develop your critical thinking skills
as you attempt to evaluate critically a political scientist’s (or other thinker’s) work. Third, it helps you
to improve your own writing skills as you attempt to describe the book’s strengths and weaknesses
within a specific page length so that your reader can clearly understand them.
Generally, a written critique covers five areas: thesis; methods; evidence of thesis support; contribution
to the literature; and, recommendation. Because for many of you this will be your first introduction to
the topic and may not know the literature, it is neither anticipated nor expected that you will critique the
book’s contribution to the literature. Before you start your critical review you should provide the reader
with a short summary of what the book is about. Next you should turn your attention to the critical
review. The following are guides to help you write your paper. Thesis: Your first task is to find and
clearly state the thesis of the book. The thesis is the main point the book is trying to make. Many
authors, however, do not present their thesis clearly. Do you have to hunt for the thesis of the book?
Comment about the clarity of the author’s thesis presentation, and state the author’s thesis in your paper.
Methods: What methods did the authors use to investigate their topic? In other words, how did the
authors go about supporting their thesis? In your critique, carefully answer the following two questions.First, were appropriate methods used? In other words, did the author’s approach to supporting the thesis
make sense? Second, did the authors employ the selected methods correctly? Did you discover any
errors in the way the authors conducted their research? Evidence to thesis support: In your critique,
answer the following questions: What evidence do the authors present in support of their thesis? What
are the strengths of the evidence presented by the authors? What are the weaknesses of the evidence
presented? On balance, how well did the authors support their thesis? Recommendation: In this
section, summarize your evaluation of the book. Tell the readers several things. Who will benefit from
reading it? What will the benefit be? How important and extensive is that benefit? Clearly state your
evaluation of the book.
Think of your paper as a construction requiring planning (an outline) and careful thinking of concepts,
issues, problems etc. It is helpful to state the objectives and the plan for the paper in the opening
paragraph (introduction). The introduction should conclude with a concise, coherent summary of the
argument to be developed (the thesis statement). Despite having major components in the paper, you do
not need subheadings. Instead, you should use paragraphs as building blocks. To effectively use the
book in your paper, try to identify the main argument(s) of the authors and select examples carefully to
bolster your argument. Do not use too many long, direct quotations. You can summarize the
argument(s) in your own words, but make sure to cite the source of the information. Because you are
not using outside sources, it will suffice that you simply cite page numbers from the book for either
direct quotation or summarization in your own words.
Your paper will be evaluated on the following criteria:
• A clear, coherent and systematic presentation;
• Correct spelling and a competent writing style which allows you to express your views and ideas
clearly;
• Proper citation;
• Adequately and fully addressing all aspects of the assignment
• Any review which is simply a chapter by chapter summary will automatically receive a grade of
60% and may be lowered based upon the other grading criteria

Why are the securities and more marketable than loans in the secondary market?

Please just answer the following questions direct as possible without the use of to much extra fluff……if u knw wht i mean.

1.Explain the meaning of efficient markets. Why might we expect them to be efficient most of the time? In recent years, several securities firms have been guilty of using inside information when purchasing securities, thereby achieving returns well above the norm (even when accounting for risk). Does this suggest that the security markets are not efficient? Explain.

2.Commercial banks use some funds to purchase securities and other funds to make loans. Why are the securities and more marketable than loans in the secondary market?

3.What is the function of a mutual fund? Why are mutual funds popular among investors? How does a money market mutual fund differ from a stock or bond mutual fund?

4.Explain why interest rates tend to decrease during recessionary periods. Review historical interest rates to determine how they reacted to recessionary periods. Explains this reaction.

5.Should increasing money supply growth place upward or downward pressure on interest rates?

6.Suppose the real interest rate is 6 percent and the expected inflation is 2 percent. What would you expect the nominal rate to be?

7.Suppose that Treasury bills are currently paying 9 percent and the expected inflation is 3 percent. What is the real interest rate?

8.A) Assume that as of today, the annualized two year interest rate is 13 percent, while the one year interest rate is 12 percent. Use only this information to estimate the one year forward rate.

B) Assume that the liquidity premium on a two year security is 0.3 percent. Use this information to reestimate the one year forward rate.

9.A) A corporation is planning to sell its 90-day commercial paper to investors offering an 8.4 percent yield. If the three month T-bill’s annualized rate is 7 percent, the default risk premium is estimated to be 0.6 percent, and there is a 0.4 percent tax adjustment, what is the appropriate liquidity premium?

B) If due to unexpected changes in the economy the default risk premium increases to 0.8 percent, what is the appropriate yield to be offered on the commercial paper (assuming no other changes occur)?

Discuss the civil law, the common law, a religious legal system, and a socialist legal system in four separate sections.

The subject of the paper is as follows:

Walter G. Tonkle, former president of the United States, is charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court based on allegations of torture in a military prison, which President Tonkle had authorized. Based on the Statute of Rome, the charges will be dismissed if the home country, the United States, commences an investigation of the charges. (See an overview of the International Criminal Court and the Statute of Rome by clicking here.) At the same time, however, charges are filed in the European Union, Spain, India, Russia and China against President Tonkle. More charges from more countries are coming in every day. An investigation is commenced in the United States, and you are working for the defense attorney.

Answer the following question:

How would the Tonkle case be affected by general differences in law under the four main types of legal systems?

(a) Discuss the civil law, the common law, a religious legal system, and a socialist legal system in four separate sections. Place the name of the legal system in bold at the top of each section.

(b) In each section, first include a paragraph explaining the main features of that system. Include relevant quotes from the readings of this course, and explain how they back up your points. Make sure to use quotation marks, and reference the article in parentheses after each quote.

(c) The next paragraph in each section should discuss how the features of the system would affect the trial. Again, use relevant quotes from the course readings and explain how they back up your points.

(c) FOR LAW AND SOCIETY MAJORS ONLY: The next three paragraphs in each section should each discuss (1) the history of that system , (2) the structure of that system, and (3) the procedure of that system. Use relevant quotes from the course readings and explain how they back up your points.

(d) FOR ALL STUDENTS: Create a separate section of the paper, with the heading Comparison of Legal Systems. In this section, write a paragraph explaining which legal system would be most favorable to the defendant, Tonkle. Use relevant quotes from the course readings and explain how they back up your points.

Then, write another paragraph explaining why the other systems would be less favorable to the defendant. Use relevant quotes from the course readings and explain how they back up your points.

(e) FOR ALL STUDENTS: Create a separate section of the paper, with the heading Post-Colonial Thought. In this section, write a paragraph explaining how concepts of legal imperialism and post-colonial thought would affect the trial. Use relevant quotes from the course readings and explain how they back up your points
