_{Topic:Looking around: Economic Theory as Evidenced in a Current Affairs News Article}

Description:In this reflection (if you are unsure what a reflection is,click this linkorhttps://student.unsw.edu.au/reflective-writing) These instructions are to be used for all reflection assignments-if you are submitting two reflections during the term, then use these instructions for both, but use two different articles.

You are to"connect" some practical issue or situationthat you find in a current affairs news article and reflect as to how the issue is related to any of the economic theories we have taken in class. (i.e. Production Possibility/Gains from Trade/Circular Flow Model/Demand and Supply etc.)

The article must be Canadian based (or have a Canadian connection) and published within maximum three months of the due date of the assignment. If you are unsure what a current affairs article is,"Google"it. Read the article and address the following questions/discussion points:

1. What, in the article, provides evidence of the economic theory we have studied-what is the connection between the article and the theory? Be specific-for example, it is not enough to say demand increases-if demand is increasing, is it because of expectations, income increase, etc.; or if elasticity changes, is the good elastic or inelastic? Being vague in your explanation will only get average marks.
2. How does the article provide you with clarity on understanding of the theoretical concepts.
