Currency Exchange: National currencies, like the dollar or the euro, can be exchanged in an international market. When a Michiganian travels to Canada, for example, they require Canadian dollars to purchase goods and services there. When crossing the border, the traveler exchanges US dollars for Canadian dollars at the current exchange rate. Since currencies are traded on the open market, we can determine how much the US dollar is worth in terms of Canadian dollars, and this exchange rate may change from day to day.

Exchange Rate Systems: Every country chooses which exchange rate system to use. The options (broadly speaking) are:
Float: the currency is valued by market forces
Peg: the country decides on a value for the currency and takes steps to support it at that value.
The United States has used the float method since 1971. Prior to that, a modified gold standard in accordance with the Bretton Woods System was in use.

Considerations for Choosing and Exchange Rate System: Countries must observe the Impossible Trinity: One must choose two of three circumstances to observe, free capital flows, an independent monetary policy, and a fixed exchange rate. It is impossible to have all three. The United States, for example, has an independent monetary policy and free capital flows, and therefore cannot use fixed exchange rates without giving up one of the first two conditions. China has an independent monetary policy and fixed exchange rates and therefore cannot have free capital flows. Hong Kong has free capital flows and a fixed exchange rate and therefore cannot have an independent monetary policy.

Gold Standard: Prior to the First World War (1914-1918), most major countries used a gold standard, in which a fixed exchange rate was used, with currency values stated in gold. The post Second World War (1939-1945) Bretton Woods System (1944-1971) was a modified version of the gold standard. While a number of countries presently use a fixed exchange rate, gold is not the standard for any of them at present. However, the ideas of a gold standard remains popular with some political and economic advocates.

Case Study

Consider the question of whether the United States should adopt a gold standard, remain in the current float-based system, or use some other system. Consider the impossible trinity mentioned above and carefully define all terms and concepts to which you refer. Explain the reasoning behind your answer and not the changes to the US economy and policy that would be required in any change.

Compare and contrast the Imperial Foods Plant Fire with the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
Although fire prevention and protection laws, technology, and engineering have advanced since the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, we have still seen catastrophic losses in recent history as evident in the Imperial Foods fire in Hamlet, NC. Citing your evidence, discuss where and how Imperial Foods management could have incorporated fire protection technology/engineering or follow fire protection laws that came about during the 1900s after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
Formulate and support (or justify) an argument that fire prevention and protection are essential components of a safety, health, and environmental professionals role on the job. Back up your argument with scholarly proof.

Suggested outline:
Introduction/thesis statement
Brief background on your story

Theme Analysis
Setting Analysis
Conclusion

Support your character analysis by using two different sources:
1) Quotes from the short story to back up your analysis. Where do you see evidence of the theme, symbols, and how does the author use setting to enhance of give meaning to the story? For symbols, look for things that represent other things (like the rose in Beauty and the Beast). Try to determine what the overall message (like the moral of the story) is expressed to help determine theme. Show examples where you see that come into play. For setting, consider how the geographical space, time period, and rules for that time effect the story. Use quotes examples from the story to prove your thesis.
Refer to your Modules for extra help understanding these analysis concepts.
Use quote marks around the title of your short story.
Use standard MLA in-text citation format for both summary and direct quotes.
2) 3 Scholarly Journal Articles. I want you to also incorporate support from 3 scholarly journal articles. These should come from the Librarys databases.
