Based on the readings on income, wealth and inequality, In a three paragraph essay explain one way in which your thinking changed in this section of the course. What caused that change? Why is it important?(my opinion before was that taxes should be lowered)

2. Looking back at your results for the Tax Game, which tax choice made your overall system most progressive? Why? (you played this game before on the previous assignment, if you forgot take a look at the assignment to have better understanding)

Which choice made your overall system most regressive? Why?

3. Your politician friend wants to do a survey to find out the impact of a tax on wealth held by households in her community. You remember that the survey could be misleading if it interviews only 100 randomly-selected households. Why might this be?

4. Visit the following website and complete all the steps.

http://www.oecd.org/statistics/compare-your-income.htm (Links to an external site.)

What surprised you about the results here? You don’t need to report personal information.

How do these results compare with what you learned about inequality in other countries?

How might these results differ if they looked at wealth rather than income?

Describe generic models of application systems to include transaction processing (using an ATM as an example) and language processing system, for changing one language into an alternative presentation of that language.

System Modeling and Architectural Design Concept Map–Section 3

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read Chapter 5: Contextual Models and Chapter 6: Architectural Design in the course text. It is also recommended that you begin reviewing Chapter 5 exercises 5.2 and 5.5 and Chapter 6 exercises 6.1 and 6.3, as these will be your homework assignment due later in the week.

In this week’s interactive assignment, you will add to your concept map that you created in Week 2 and further illustrate and make connections among the concepts of software development and requirements. This week’s section of the concept map is focused on System Modeling and Architectural Design. Illustrate the essential perspectives of context, interaction, structure, and behavior modeling. Be sure to label each component, and then

• Describe the differences between applying each model, using a real-life example.
• Describe system architecture from different perspectives of software components.
• Describe how architectural patterns are used to present, share, and reuse knowledge about software systems.
• Describe the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern components as examples used in Layered and Client-Server architecture.

In addition to your concept map, you will write a paper in which you

• Describe these five Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams and provide example scenarios for utilizing each diagram.
  • Activity
  • Use Case
  • Sequence
  • Class
  • State
• Explain the two types of behavioral modeling: data-driven modeling and event-driven modeling (state diagram) providing examples showing the internal and external interactions for each.
• Describe generic models of application systems to include transaction processing (using an ATM as an example) and language processing system, for changing one language into an alternative presentation of that language.

Empirical research is the foundation to scholarly research and scholarly writing. An empirical article is defined as one that reports actual results of a research study. An empirical article will include a description of the study, an introduction, a research question, an explanation of the study’s methodology, a presentation of the results of the study, and a conclusion that discusses the results and suggests topics for further study. This assignment will help you locate and identify empirical research studies.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Locate the Kottke and Pelletier article in the topic Resources.
• Locate, download, and print “Empirical Research Checklist.”
• For this assignment, selection of quantitative studies is preferred.
• Instructors will be scoring your submission based on the number of correct identifications of empirical articles as noted in the checklist submitted. To be accepted as an empirical article, at least 13 of the 18 characteristics identified in the checklist must be present.

Directions:

1. Read the Kottke and Pelletier article in the topic Resources.
2. Go to the GCU eLibrary (www.library.gcu.edu). Use the “Find Journal Articles” search feature found on the home page of the GCU eLibrary to locate one additional empirical article on leadership practices related to the ethical use of power, authority, persuasion, and/or motivation. NOTE: For this assignment, selection of quantitative studies is preferred.
3. Read the articles in detail.
4. Complete the Empirical Research Checklist for each article by giving the page number where the characteristic is found or marking an “X” in the “Not Contained in Article” column.
