We are learning quite a bit about market structures in this module week’s summit session. Hopefully, you have had the opportunity to discuss market structures with your colleagues leading up to this activity. Now, let’s dig a little deeper into market structures. In this activity, you will draft a document addressing the following topics:

Identify the differences between all four market structures in the short-run and long-run. This will be helpful as many of you may hold management positions and/or become entrepreneurs in the near future. When deciding what type of firm to own or operate, you may find that one market structure may be more advantageous over another based on short-run and long-run costs.
Explain the significance that the average total cost (ATC) curve has on profit and loss based on each type of market structure. Explore how the ATC curve affects all four market structures and identify whether firms will earn a profit or loss based on the placement of the ATC curve and price.

Your answers must be supported by a minimum of two sources, be in current APA format, and be one-two pages in length.

For this one, please read the question below and then use the source to support a one paragraph argumentative response.

Although northern states initiated emancipation laws to end slavery in the decades after the American Revolution, there counterparts in the South (and in NJ) retained slave laborers well into the 19th century. The result was a small percentage of free black people living in the Northern states and in the upper South (Maryland and Washington D.C.). While many free black people continued to endure racism and prejudice, several pursued legal action for the things they suffered in enslavement. Below is an excerpt from one such attempt. Based on what we have been reading so far, how impactful were these types of cases on the nation at large? Note: Remember to make a clear cut and short argument. You don’t need a lot of historical context, just start with your argument and build using a combination of the source and the larger historical context to support you.

This documentary describes one of the rare cases where a white collar criminal (see your text, Chapter 3, for the definition and a discussion) was given a long jail sentence – but he defrauded the wealthy.

Watch this documentary and discuss your reactions.

Do you think he would have been treated the same way if he had stolen from the less affluent? Was his sentence too long? Too short? Were all of his victims “rich” people?

Essay Prompt 1: The Narrative Essay
The Assignment: Please write a 1250 word essay that recounts in vivid, descriptive detail an event in your life. This event should take place over a short period of time and center on some kind of internal or external conflict. It need not be a major life event; rather, it should be an event that reveals something about you: a value that you hold, a belief you have or that you lost, or something else of significance.

In order to choose a topic, you may find these writing prompts helpful. They come from The St. Martin’s Guide to Writing (Axelrod and Cooper), and you’ll see them again as part of our assignments for this week:
Other Requirements of This Assignment: Write using rich description and sensory detail, and use appropriately punctuated dialogue if applicable. Be sure your essay is in MLA format, which is a requirement for all college-level language classes, including English. Remember that this is public writing, so please do not write about anything you’re uncomfortable with sharing with the rest of the class.

In addition to the Writing Commons readings for this week, I am including two examples of personal essays in this week’s readings folder that should help you understand the genre, and I will share two more next week. Please note, both essays treat an experience that occurs over a short period of time, both include rich descriptive detail, and both of them convey a sense of the importance of the event to the writer. While each of the essays focuses on one event, each of them do refer to events that occurred at other times; this is all right. The Mock essay also includes photographs. You may include images in your essay as well provided you meet the minimum word count and observe MLA format.
