The PERC model

In a Microsoft Word document, write a three to four page paper in response to the following:

You must be doing something right because the politicians in Raleigh would like you to testify one more time. The budget writers are having difficulty balancing the revenues coming in with the expenditures going out. Many of the fiscally conscious representatives are willing to shut down many of the 74 State Parks, Areas, Lakes, Rivers and Trails. The state parks employ about 400 people and host more than 15 million visitors each year, according to the North Carolina State Parks website. Shutting them down is politically risky and an alternative is needed.
The Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) in Bozeman, Montana has published a case study comparing two public parks called, A Tale of Two Parks. Use the questions provided on the assignment to help guide your testimony to the committee.
In your testimony (again limited to no more than 4 pages) to the politicians in Raleigh, you will need to find a way of taking the PERC model and making it applicable to North Carolina. How can the PERC model benefit North Carolina and help maintain a balanced budget? The legislators will want to know if this is something that can be applied across the board to the entire department of parks and recreation or to just a subset. If it is a subset, what are the limitations? They will also want to know if there will be immediate benefits or whether these benefits will be far into the future. To help further the debate, a recent article in the Carolina Journal Online addresses the possibility of charging an admission fee to enter state parks.
3. Your paper should be written in APA style with appropriate references and bibliography.

Please refer to this link and additional materials for references. Please include and use these three references. https://www.ncparks.gov/more-about-us/about-state-parks-system

State Park System Could Pay Its Own Way

In the United States, we often learn early American history from the perspectives and experiences of the original British settlers

Write an essay that addresses the theme below. Remember to include an introduction, complete with a thesis statement, and a conclusion, which briefly restates your arguments and highlights the larger importance of your findings. Be sure to use a few quotes to substantiate your arguments. Always cite all direct quotes and paraphrases from the works of others. Include a Works Cited page. Your paper must be double-spaced, use 12-point type, Times New Roman font, and standard margins.

Use the chapters you have read so far in Our America to answer the questions. Use of internet sources is not acceptable!

Assignment: In the United States, we often learn early American history from the perspectives and experiences of the original British settlers – following them from their first journeys to the Americas, to the establishment of English colonies, through the American Revolution and early republic, down to the 20th and 21st centuries. Felipe Fernandez-Armesto proposes a different approach to the study of United States history. What does this author say is limiting about our traditional ways of teaching and reading about US history? What kinds of problems can the traditional focus cause? What alternative does he propose? Finally, choose an example of story from the book and explain how, in your view, the author succeeds (or not) in his goals and describe how students of history can benefit from books like Our America.

I already purchased the book and sent it to you guys.

Be sure to clearly define the dialectic you’re engaging with (the main issues in the debate) and to pick a side by clearly providing an interesting, defensible, manageable, argumentative, and focused thesis. Be sure to also consider the best arguments against your thesis and why your view is superior.

Prisoner Dilemma

Review Chapter 15, Table 15.4, Prisoner Dilemma. Suppose the game starts with both Jesse and Frank planning to “Stay Mum” in the lower right cell. Discuss how each player would evaluate the situation and decide whether to change decisions. If each player makes decisions to minimize the penalty, in which cell will this game end? Is there a Nash equilibrium?
