(2011, March 29).Spotlight on Skills: Developing a Power Point PresentationIn this activity you will prepare a Power Point Presentation. For help in using this tool, review this PowerPoint Tutorial.Main Task: Develop a Presentation to Analyze if Income Inequality is IncreasingThe activity resources above both use data and statistics to support answers to the same question, but they reach opposite conclusions! The textbook authors use the Gini Index to argue that income inequality is increasing. The newspaper article?s author uses Census data on household income and Treasury data on income tax returns to argue that the rich are not getting richer and the poor are not getting poorer; rather, there is great income mobility: some rich are getting poorer and some poor are getting richer!Construct a clear, creative PowerPoint presentation to present each article?s side of the argument and reach a reasoned conclusion about which one is correct. Your audience consists of business leaders attending a forum so you want to make the presentation understandable yet detailed. Use any other resources you choose, including comments on the Cunningham article, to complete the assignment. Make sure you read closely and understand the data and categories each article uses. Your presentation should:Present important statistics on economic inequality discussed in the articles.Explain what these statistics are: Gini index, Quintile analysis and Quintile distribution, Pareto Criterion, and measures of income, e.g., median and disposable.Argue, given the statistical knowledge you have gained up to this point in the course, which article gives the correct answer.Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as ?speaker notes? for each slide.
