1. Is beauty about anything beyond human life as we know it? We easily appreciate beauty; we can never have enough. Yet we can still avoid letting beauty ignite any desire in our hearts to see, hear, touch and live within an ultimate harmony in everything.
2. Does understanding relate to anything beyond human life as we know it? We know what it means to understand. It’s figuring how things might work and for what purpose. Yet, the universe itself understandable. It has an order, a complex of laws and probabilities that we can understand. Is our universe itself – including our understanding – the result of an understanding beyond the human?
3. Does reality cover anything beyond what we know of human life? Everything we know began. Each thing we know depended on something else to appear. Everything depends on other things to continue existing. Does reality include something that depends on nothing, and on which everything depends?
4. Does good refer only to the objects of our making and appreciating, or might our ability to make and appreciate be itself a good – made and appreciated by something beyond our human selves?
5. Is friendship restricted to our relations to one another or might the universe be place made by a lover for the sake of friendship? More urgently, our failure to achieve global peace prompts questions like these: Are we really self-sufficient or do we need to look beyond the human for help? Are the many disasters we witness in history the result of people assuming that humans are self-sufficient?

In this course, you are studying managerial accounting strategies and techniques that are used to capture and report quantitative data to run an organization. In this paper, I would like for you to extend beyond the theoretical nature of your studies and investigate applying this knowledge to a real-life organizational situation, which can be real or imagined. For example, you could use your family as an organization that makes decisions based on data. Or you could imagine yourself as the president of General Motors (or the place you now work) and describe how you envision using data.

1. In the opening section of your paper, I would like for you to discuss in general terms, how quantitative data is used to help manage an organization. What are the benefits and pitfalls of data usage? Can data be used for everything? How does one decide what to use? How is cost vs. benefit used to decide what information to capture and report? This section of the paper must be at least two pages and I want for you to provide and evidence to support your conclusions and assertions. The textbook and Deming book could be cited in this section.

2. Describe the organization you are studying. What are its goals? How is it structured? How is it currently managed? This section must be at least one page.

3. In the final section of the paper, please describe how you would use data to improve the organization’s performance. Please discuss the use of statistics, benchmarking and trend analysis.

Classical and Neo-classical economics

Classical economic theory and neo-classical economic theory are often differentiated along several different axis; for example, classical economic theory, it is sometimes alleged, considers labor, land, rent, and capital in separate, isolated, variables whereas neo-classical economic theory integrates these variables into a single, unified economic theory.
First, explain how and why David Ricardo and J.S Mill are classical theorists.
Second, show how one or the other or both of these theorists is attempting to develop a comprehensive, integrated, internally consistent account for all social and economic landscape.

Please put more effort to answer second part than first one.

Please refer these books
– David Ricardo, Principle of Political Economy and Taxation
– JS Mill, On Liberty
