Discuss the below:
1. Identify two positive aspects of our class this semester, and identify two areas in which I need to improve the class for future efforts. Then pick two other questions to answer for a total of three short answer questions.
2. What arc the positive and negative effects of government legislation/regulation? Assume that a given regulation was needed and implemented, what method would you propose for removing that regulation from the books when the need had passed? (how would you stop the pendulum from staying too far in the other direction?)

What factors would encourage you (also, discourage you) from actively trying to affect government behavior with regard to your company?
4. How much of a problem is "money in politics"? If you were in charge of government/society (perhaps, king or queen for a month), how would you fix the problem? What realistic actions might reduce the negative impact of money in our national political process?
5. Describe a real-life example of the "tragedy of the commons- and how can this problem be averted in the future? To what extend does free-market capitalism cause pollution and what market forces can be depended upon to reduce the negative impact of industrial pollution on the world?
6. Describe 'sustainable development' in relation to the powerpoint quote by Aldo Leopold. If Leopold had been familiar with the term. would he support it? How does sustainable development offer real hope in securing the appropriate balance between industrialization and conservation/ protection of natural resources around the globe?_

8. What are the pros and cons of technology (in the largest use of that word)? What are the primary effects of technology as seen in the relationship between business and society
