     “Canada’s Climate Change Boomtown,” is about one of the benefits of global warming in Canada.<br/> 
Adam Fowler predicts Churchill, a small town on Hudson Bay, to have a growth in their economy when the<br/>
opening of the Northwest Passage occurs from melting ice. This growth will come from the increased flow<br/>
of people through the town as Churchill becomes part of an international shipping route. I find this<br/> 
article to be exemplary because it talks about a benefit of global warming and because this benefit is<br/> 
economical. I think articles on controversial issues, such as benefits of global warming, are very<br/> 
interesting. Also, this article is good because someone without an economics background can read<br/> 
and understand it.<br/> 
Tierney, John. "Recycling is Garbage." New York Times 30 Jun. 1996: n. pag. Web. 5 Oct 2010.<br/> 
<http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/30/magazine/recycling-is-garbage.html?pagewanted=1>.<br/>
     “Recycling is Garbage,” tells how putting all garbage into dumps instead of recycling can help the<br/>
economy and society more than if we all recycled. The author, John Tierney, thinks that dumping sites can<br/> 
create jobs for small towns and newspaper and magazine publishers will profit more because they will not<br/> 
be forced to buy costly recycled paper; these are just two of the examples of who can benefit. Again, I<br/> 
find this article to be exemplary because it is about a controversial issue, that recycling can be bad.<br/> 
Almost everyone thinks that recycling is good because it helps the environment and I really enjoy how John<br/> 
Tierney goes against that with a very compelling argument for society and the economy. In my opinion, this<br/> 
article is one that most people, not only economists, would find interesting because it is about a very<br/> 
well-known issue.<br/> 
Rosenberg, Tina. "What the World Needs Now is DDT."New York Times 11 Apr. 2004: n. pag.Web. 5 Oct 2010.<br/> 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/11/magazine/what-the-world-needs-now-is-ddt.html?pagewanted=7>.<br/>
     “What the World Needs Now Is DDT,” talks about how the previous issues with DDT are what is standing<br/>
in the way of getting rid of the malaria epidemic in countries like Africa. The economical factor of this<br/> 
article is that, if these previous moral and environment issues of using DDT were put aside, malaria could<br/> 
become a thing of the past for $1.70 per person without hurting the environment. This is the most effective<br/> 
method for dealing with the malaria problem in poor countries. As with the previous chosen articles, this<br/> 
one is about a controversial issue as well; the use of DDT to help people with malaria. I think that because<br/>
 of what happened with the usage of DDT from airplanes in the United States, most people are against using <br/>
DDT for any purpose because they are afraid that it might harm them and the environment. This article, like <br/>
the previous two in my research paper, explains the economics in a way that people without an economics<br/> 
background can explain. I think this is a very important aspect of an economics article because I feel it<br/> 
will make more people become interested in economics which will educate more people about their economy and<br/>
the global economy. I think it is important for citizens to understand what is happening in their economy and why.<br/>
     People in economics, economists, discuss current issues in the economy and predict what may happen in the<br/>
future to the economy. The methodology that I would say most economists feel is most effective is empirical<br/> 
testing or analyzing.  I think legitimate methodologies for economics would be empirical and theoretical<br/> 
testing or analyzing. These are the two ways that economists work with data, to interpret and make predictions<br/> 
about the economy.<br/> 
     Economists do not use a specialized form of English. Many articles you find in the newspapers are about<br/>
economics and written by economists and are not difficult to understand for people without a background in economics.<br/>
