Evidence of academically mature insight and use of critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles.

For this assignment you will develop a 10 – 12 page paper critically analyzing a lifespan development topic of interest.  The paper must include summaries and synthesis of 6 – 8 scholarly PEER REVIEWED articles retrieved from the our school online library.  The paper must not be merely one summary after another with no meaningful connections between them, but rather should include, following a description of and careful review and critique of the summaries, descriptions of how they are related to one another.  This is done via transition statements between descriptions of the various summaries such that the paper interweaves all the articles into a coherent and well-articulated review of scholarly publications related to the paper topic focus.  The paper will end with a minimum of three paragraphs summarizing points made and articulating suggestions for future research directions arising from the article reviews.

Direct quotes are strongly discouraged but if used, they do not count toward minimum page length.  If you use a direct quote, you also need to paraphrase the same information so it can be evident that you understand what the original author was saying.  Academic articles to supplement the final case study analysis cannot be older than 10 years (so those articles published in 2004 and earlier are unacceptable), and all articles must be from the APUS library.  Be sure to include the DOI numbers if available and/or clickable links as dictated by APA formatting.

The 10-12 minimum page length is for the written narrative only, and does not include the title page, abstract, reference page, and any graphics should you choose to include charts, illustrations, etc.

As this is a formal paper, APA formatting dictates the following be incorporated into your paper:

Title page, abstract, header (AKA running head), page numbers, and reference page.  You will also he held to APA standards with regard to font size, indentaitons/margins, and proper within text citations as well as the reference page.

On submission your work will auto-run through Turnitin.com’s plagiarism checker software.  A Turnitin.com report that reveals five or more words from the original source have been used verbatim will result in a zero assignment score without option for revision and resubmission to recoup lost points and will also be reported to the school for academic review.  You are strongly cautioned not to use direct quotes even if they are in proper APA formatting, because I can only grade based on paraphrased material.  Submitting quoted text only tells me that you know where to look for the information, not that you can synthesize and understand the material clearly enough to reiterate it in your own words.

This assignment submission will be evaluated based on:

– The above requirements.

– The degree to which the article summaries are truly integrated; arbitrary statements of “This is related to that” without supporting evidence of an actual connection will result in a significant point deduction.

– Evidence of academically mature insight and use of critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles.

– Clear and thorough articulation of the paper’s key points in a well organized logical progression of ideas.

– Compliance with APA paper formatting standards.

– Minimal to no grammar, spelling or basic writing errors

Discuss the extent to which the use of demand side policies (fiscal policy and monetary policy) during the Great Recession of 2008 has been successful in restoring economic growth and reducing unemployment .

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 feral 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.
