DISCUSSION ESSAY

Economics is everywhere and for your project you find some. You need to find a work of fiction (movie –non documentary, song, or fictional novel) that contains some hidden economics. It can cover any topic that we have covered or will cover this semester (Chapters 1-17 ). There must be a significant amount of economics in your choice – there must be enough to complete the assignment below (a 4-5 page report).

What you will do is write a 4 – 5 page report (double spaced, using standard margins and fonts) that will:

Summarize what you have found (no more than ½ of a page). If it is a song then you need to attach the song lyrics to the back of your paper but this does not count toward the 4 – 5 pages.

Explain the economic concept(s) that are being illustrated by your example.
How is the concept(s) presented in your example?
Is the concept being used properly? What did they get right? What did they get wrong?
