You wrote some practice multiple choice questions to practice for Part B of your Diploma Exam.

You have a homework assignment tonight:

I want you to write a detailed outline of an essay based on the following source: "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

You should have an idea of how you would analyze this source in your first paragraph, the ideological perspective of this source, what arguments you would use, and what evidence you would incorporate too. I will be posting past Part A of the Diploma Exam on the wiki tonight.

Please remember that you have your Political Systems Exam on Friday, please see the study guide here. You also have your Trial Diploma Exam on Tuesday, please use the Social 30-1 Diploma Exam Study Guide.
