The follow
ing post has three assignments namely;
1.The Democratic and Republican parties
It has been said that political parties can be thought of like designer brand jeans. On the one hand, parties
must project an image that is broad enough to appeal to a large audience of potential voters. In our
popular political discourse, this is often referred to as widen
ing the tent. On the other hand, parties must
also appeal to a base of supporters who have a proven track record of loyalty. We call this energiz
ing or
galvaniz
ing the base. So political parties, much like designer brand jean companies, have the difficulty of
balanc
ing the need to attract new customers while mak
ing sure that their current customers cont
inue to
consume their product. To understand the behavior of our political parties better, we need to th
ink like the
political operatives who work to sell a party brand that Americans will support.
1 Demonstrate a nuanced understand
ing of the Democratic and Republican parties.
2 Apply knowledge of those political parties to social media and th
ink like a political strategist.
3 Demonstrate creative th
ink
ing abilities by produc
ing a unique series of party brand
ing ads.
2.Gold mining on the Moon
Assume that NASA discovered a gold deposit on the surface of the Moon with average gold grade of 5% by volume. The dimensions of the orebody are 1000m by 1000m by 500m (deep).
Suggest a reliable, efficient and cost effective solution for m
ining out the gold deposit and for process
ing the gold.
Make reasonable assumptions for the calculation and about the operat
ing conditions, energy sources, economics for m
ining and gold process
ing on the Moon
3.“An Introduction To The Principles of Morals and Legislation”
Jeremy Bentham developed a technique he termed a “hedonic calculus.” Describe this technique us
ing citations from the Bentham excerpt that you f
ind at the below site. Bentham
intended for this
“calculus” to be applied to every moral judgment. Is this statement correct?
