✅ Instructions:
Research and find answers the following questions by using articles from current or past events from any major publication (electronic or print edition) to be your research references. Articles that appear in economic journals or business magazines such as The Economist are good resources.

Several links to good references are available under the Content and the Announcement section on the class website as well as a sample and guildlines for your research.
The objective of the paper is to summarize, analyze, critique, support (or question) the articles, and relate the articles to your research questions. The paper must show an analysis of a real world situation using economics concepts, framework, and theories to suggest such as what the problems are, why there are the problems, how to fix the problems, what the pros and cons of each solution are, and how it will affect each group of people.

✅ Research topic and Questions✅
Robots are taking our jobs
Applied Topics: Price control, technology advancement and
unemployment
Research Questions:
🔴 1. Robots and new technology are taking away jobs from human. In 2008-2010
Our government has bailed out U.S. automakers to save millions of jobs, not
just factory workers but also dealership related jobs and auto repair related
jobs. Should our governments intervene or stop robots and new technology
taking jobs away from us? Should governments offer other alternatives to those
who will lose job?
🔴 2. Minimum wage is going up. Fast food chains are starting using machine
(kiosk) to take order instead of minimum wage workers? Should we stop
technology from progressing? What is the overall economic impact to the
economy?
