In other words, reasoning is used when you infer one claim on the basis of another. For example, if you see a great deal of snow falling from the sky outside your bedroom window one morning, you can reasonably conclude that it’s probably cold outside. Or, if you see a man smiling broadly, you can reasonably conclude that he is at least somewhat happy.

  • Europe in the Time of Covid-19
    Europe in the TimeEurope of Covid-19 There is no doubt that the Covid-19 crisis represents a challenge for European unity and another crash test for the euro. Europe has been, Europe in the Time and will likely remain, one of the most Covid-infected regions in the world and, while doing nothing was not an option and would itself have disrupted economic activity, the forceful reactions of national of Covid-19 governments to the pandemic, through various strategies combining social distancing, testing/quarantining and lockdowns, have triggered an economic crisis at least twice the size of the 2009 crisis. Furthermore, the recovery is likely to be slow due to depressed consumption and Edited by Agnès Bénassy-Quéré investment, and it will require fast reallocations in both the labour market and the capital market. and Beatrice Weder di Mauro A small positive observation in this crisis has been the degree of engagement of economists in an intense debate with policymakers on the appropriate responses to ‘flatten the economic recession curve’ and to safeguard the most impacted groups from the economic fallout of the health crisis. This eBook is an illustration of the intense effort of the academic community during this time. In a selection of columns, analysis and policy proposals that were published on VoxEU between the end of March and the middle of May 2020 it provides a remarkable example of the response of economists to the unfolding crisis and of the value of VoxEU as the platform for such high quality exchange of views. Within each section, the articles are sorted by their date of appearance, which gives the reader a sense of how the debate progressed over a short period of time.

The general objective is to determine what is being communicated through these expressive forms, to whom, how, and finally to suggest why it is being communicated. The extent to which the encoded messages are consistent with reports of the subculture's goals is then discussed. It is asserted that hip hop operates as an alternative identity management and problem-solving mechanism within the black American ghetto.

The morning commute. 149th St. station left in the dust as the 2/3 heads downtown. The train is crowded, airless, miserable. CREDITS ROLL AS WE SEE -- A banker playing Candy Crush, a pregnant woman rubbing her belly, a Sikh with a Chihuahua in his kaftan, a construction worker reading the Wall Street Journal, triplets with a Trinidadian caretaker, a homeless man combing his beard. The MTA subway. The great democratizer. We end on a lanky black teen wearing khaki pants, Penny Loafers, and a button down which blooms sweat patterns. This is SAUNDERS BELL (17). His head is tilted at 45 degrees, ear buds are in, IG feed scrolls across his tired eyes. Bored as can be. But after checking his Casio watch, he smiles. And like clockwork, here they come. Right through the inter train doors. In SLOW MOTION. All wearing the same uniform: black track pants, wife beaters, flat brimmed Mets hats. And on their feet? Air Force 1’s with leather wings protruding from the heel, the Greek Gods of the subway. The leader of the crew is an enthusiastic though chubby black man with three days of stubble sprinkled on his tired face.
