Mid-term paper on New York economic inequality. Please read these two articles about economic inequality in New York. http://fiscalpolicy.org/nys-leads-nation-in-income-inequality http://furmancenter.org/files/sotc/SOC2013_HighRes.pdf You have now been introduced to three traditions of moral thought that are relevant to political life. For your midterm, please write a 1500- to 1800-word paper that compares and contrasts how at least two of these traditions—you may refer to all three—would approach one of these questions: 1) What, if anything, ought a private citizen to do in response to the facts of inequality in New York that these articles reveal? If you think these facts would not require a personal response according to the traditions you are discussing, explain why. 2) What policies on the part of city or state government ought a private citizen to support in response to the facts of inequality in New York that these articles reveal? If you think these facts would not require a public policy response according to the traditions you are discussing, explain why. Because these articles inevitably focus on only a small part of the total story, you should feel free to mention other facts a thinker in the traditions you discuss would need to know in order to answer these questions. Please send a Word file and not a PDF file.
