SO, due Monday:  current events journal check in (may be shared on paper or digitally) you should have 3 week's of entries at this point AND your 5 digital notes.

EXTERNALITIES - cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit; the consequence that is experienced by unrelated third parties.
