6、2023学术活动选题
◾ 哲学 Philosophy
▪ Q1. A team of scientists wants to discover how many genders there are. How should they proceed?
▪Q2. In what sense are you the same person today that you were when you were ten?
▪ Q3. Is tax theft?
◾经济学 Economics
▪ Q1. A government funds its own expenditure by taxing its population. Suppose, instead, it relied solely on money newly created by the central bank? What would be the advantages and/or disadvantages?
▪ Q2. In his thought experiment, the Iowa Car Crop, David Friedman tries to show that growing wheat is, in an important sense, just another 'technology' we can use for manufacturing cars, and in some circumstances a much more effcient one. If international trade is thus a way of using less valuable inputs to produce more valuable outputs, why would governments impose trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas, thereby forcing producers to be more wasteful and less effcient?
▪ Q3. What would happen if we banned billionaires?
◾历史 History
▪ Q1. How much richer or poorer are the British today than they would have been without the effects of British colonialism?
▪ Q2. Which has a bigger effect on history: the plans of the powerful or their mistakes?
▪ Q3. Which characteristics distinguish successful movements for social change from unsuccessful ones?
◾心理学 Psychology
▪ Q1. Can happiness be measured?
▪ Q2. In surveys conducted in the United States, significantly more than half the respondents reported that they believed themselves to be more attractive than the median person in their country. How might we account for this?
▪ Q3. Are beliefs voluntary?
