Weekly Accomplishments

What tasks did you complete this week? (Include links)
This week I read a paper detailing how individuals should be treated as moral agents that are freely able to decide what they believe is the best outcome for them. This paper was written with a particular focus on the beltline and how the new system of transportation it promises to use could or could not be fully helpful to transform the city of Atlanta.

I learned more about how actions of people in a place can be determined in a moral/ethical way instead of a more theoretical/game approach.
