How Does Our Economy Work?
Based on this module week’s summit session, what would you say is the role of firms in our macroeconomy? Do consumers indirectly and/or directly affect our macroeconomy? Consider how microeconomics and macroeconomics affect the flow of money within the Circular Flow Model. Do you think firms could operate without households? Consider how these disciplines relate to the Circular Flow Model.

Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter. Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text.

Summarize the main points of the chapter or the interview and provide a more detailed analysis of one of the subsections of the chapter or one of the questions asked of Yeampierre.
For our first reading response, I’d like you to choose one of the chapters we’ve read in our Climate Change text by Henson or the interview of Elizabeth Yeampierre, “Unequal Impact: The Deep Links Between Racism and Climate Change.”
For the response, please summarize the main points of the chapter or the interview and provide a more detailed analysis of one of the subsections of the chapter or one of the questions asked of Yeampierre. A more detailed analysis would go beyond the summary and ask questions such as: Is there consensus about the topic presented? Who is involved–scientists, community members, governments? Do you find the claims or evidence to be compelling? What further questions do you have that aren’t answered in the subsection of the chapter or interview?

Explain the resource and how you see Operant Conditioning principles applied.
Examples of Operant Conditioning on the web
ASSIGNMENT:
We have been reviewing some technical information so far and comparing the differences and similarities between Classical (Respondent) Conditioning and Operant (Consequences and Reinforcement) Conditioning.
Now it is time for you to do some research to see what resources are out there.
Please go to the internet and find a resource (agency, organization or program, book, website, video, etc.) where Operant Conditioning principles are used (reinforcement/consequences). Please do not use the same Big Bang video clip I have already supplied you with in a prior lesson.
Please copy and paste the source/link into your post.
Explain the resource and how you see Operant Conditioning principles applied. (200 word minimum)
After responding to the initial post above, please also respond to the following two students regarding the same topic (100 word minimum EACH)
Student one:
i chose to use a clip from youtube .In the movie Cinderella her stepmothers tells Cinderella she can have a chance to go to the prince ball if she does all of her chores. This is an example of positive reinforcement . The stimulus is the chance to go to the ball if she completes all of her work around the house.
Student two:
The instructor is using positive reinforcement to get the students to do a desired behavior. The instructor just kept rewarding the students until he got them to do what he wanted. The students were unaware of the behavior the instructor wanted them to perform but eventually figured it out.
