Macbeth Letter



Dear Macbeth, you have been diagnosed with paranoia, antisocial personality disorder, and you are also narcissistic. The symptoms you show are that you’re consumed by the anticipation of betrayal and project blame on others. You tend to make impulsive and irresponsible decisions and have a very high lack of remorse for harm done to others. You disregard the safety of yourself and others while lying and other criminal behaviors. I’d characterize you as somewhat of self centered. You are taking advantage of others and only showing self-importance because you are obsessed with fantasies of power. If you are seeking help, I suggest you try to work on yourself and your priorities. You should talk to somebody you trust and try to seek help with them and work on it together. You need to take others and their opinions/feelings into consideration and take the safety of yourself and them very seriously. With that being said, please try to work on bettering yourself and solve these diagnoses soon.
Sincerely,
       Rachel

Fiscal Cliff

The fiscal cliff can potentially send the economy into recession & increase unemployment. The republicans and democrats differ because the republicans just want to cut spending & avoid raising taxes so they won't have to pay taxes on their wealth, while the democrats want a combo of cutting spending & raising taxes. 

I googled fiscal cliff and opened up the first few articles that came up. There was a lot of information about the fiscal cliff but not a lot of information on the democratic and republican positions and how they differed. I didn't necessarily use the strategies, I just googled fiscal cliff and read until I found what I needed. Although they didn't come in handy for this assignment, I will apply these strategies to my own research when trying to find information on my senior project. They'll be very helpful when trying to find specific information.
