We recently watched a video in which Lawrence Lessig made an impassioned plea for expansion of fair use of copyrighted material. Briefly describe the concept of fair use and the limitations that have been placed on it, especially due to the explosion of user-generated content on YouTube. Please comment on the tension between the rights of artists to maintain exclusive use of their creations versus the potential benefits from transformative reuse.
2. Illegal trade in endangered animals and animal parts has brought a number of species to the brink of extinction. Outline the features that make certain types of animals more likely to be endangered, and comment on the potential for private ownership and husbandry to alleviate or eliminate this concern. Include as a part of your response the extra difficulties presented by the extremely high value of some of these animal parts, and potential responses discussed by Allen in his paper on the Rhino’s horn.
3. During the class, Dr. Jeffrey Barrows gave a forceful presentation about human trafficking in the United States. It was especially disturbing to hear that girls as young as twelve are enticed into sex trafficking, that many adult prostitutes started into the business in their early teens, and that most prostitutes are also addicted to drugs. Describe how this information would impact an economic analysis of the sex trade, especially one that might view prostitution as a market with suppliers and customers engaging in voluntary exchange of services.
4. The illegal trade in human organs brings together economics and ethical concerns in a number of troubling ways. Describe how the current organ donation system in the United States leads almost inevitably to an illegal market for organs. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a well regulated organ sale market in the US, one that likely would involve a high degree of regulation and control by the federal government.

Program evaluations serve to answer two critical questions: What have we been able to do; and what have the results been? As an executive director you are most likely going to be asked these questions by your board, constituents, and funders. Using evaluation and the logic model results in effective programming and offers greater learning opportunities, better documentation of outcomes, and shared knowledge about what works and why.
In this Discussion, select a nonprofit program you are familiar with.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post your answers to the following questions:
Has this program been evaluated? If so, explain the evaluation process and what the results were. If a program evaluation was not completed, identify the type of evaluation you would conduct and complete, and why you would select that type of evaluation to conduct.
Using the “Logic Model Development Guide,” draw a simple logic model for your program and explain each element. Explain how this aligns with your program’s goal and your organization’s mission.
