The topic I had chose already is unemployment payments can you do it on that still but these are the instructions Purpose:
To discuss your individual viewpoint about the tradeoffs between equity and efficiency while analyzing a particular transfer payment program.
Requirement:
Select a type of transfer payment and analyze the pros and cons of the current system in the United States or abroad and how the the system could be improved.
Examples of transfer payments would be Social Security, Medicare, unemployment payments, welfare programs, etc. There are many more, so don’t let this list limit you. You can write about almost any type of transfer payment you would like.
In writing the paper you must include the following areas:
Part 1: Use positive economics* to analyze the current situation.
Part 2: Use normative economics** to analyze the current situation. Do you believe the current situation comes down too much on the side of equity or efficiency? Explain.
Part 3: Come up with a plan for how you believe the situation could be improved. In this section, you will need to come up with at least one (1) specific policy that the government could implement and how you believe this policy will change the situation both domestically and potentially globally.
*Positive economics is an analysis of facts; what is.
**Normative economics uses economics to make value judgments about the situation.
Submit a report that is 4-5 pages long, typed double-spaced.
This paper is a formal, college-level paper which means that it should be written in that style. Do not use personal pronouns like “I,” “we,” “me,” “you,” etc. It should be well written with a introduction and conclusion and use appropriate citation.

Submission:
Paper must be submitted in Canvas through this assignment.
Verify that you paper has been submitted to the Canvas assignment. If you can’t see the assignment, then I can’t see the assignment and I can’t grade it.
LATE SUBMISSIONS: The assignment will close exactly at 11:59 pm on the due date. It is your responsibility to submit the paper by that time. Even if it is only 1 minute late, it will not be accepted. Do not wait until the last minute to submit. You never know what could happen.
You will have the opportunity to make revisions for a better grade, but that means you need to submit on time so I can grade the paper and provide feedback.
Similarity Percentage:
The similarity percentage should be less than 25% for this paper.
In my experience, most students who have higher similarity percentages are not purposely plagiarizing, but have either used too many quotes or inadvertently used similar vocabulary, phrasing and sentence structure to the original source and that will also be flagged.
If the similarity percentage is higher than 40%, the entire paper will receive a zero.
You may submit the paper as many times as you like before the due date to check the similarity percentage. Please note that after the first 3 submissions the report will be generated automatically, but for all subsequent submission you will have to wait at 24 hours for the report.
Research:
Each student will develop and analysis based on the information provided and the questions asked in each activity. Research is required and the best place to find that is through the Hartnell Library.
APPROPRIATE SOURCES: It is your responsibility to choose sources that have been peer-reviewed or fact-checked. Do not use blog posts, websites that sell papers, or any source that does not have a reasonable assurance of being fact-checked at a minimum.
Wikipedia is not an acceptable source!
I do review the sources. If I find a source that does not meet the criteria it will significantly impact the grade of the paper.
Formatting:
Must use APA 7 citation format.
All references should be cited (5 sources minimum are required)
Each project needs to be in a single document (.doc or .pdf formats would work best) and submitted in Canvas through the appropriate assignment. Do not submit a .txt document because the formatting will not be correct and it will significantly impact the grade.
Typed, double-spaced in a readable 12-point font with margins no larger than 1” on all sides.
