APPLICATION OF ECONOMIC CONCEPTS

Economic concepts in all economic systems are interrelated such that a change in a particular variable in a concept affects other variables in other concepts. For example in market determination of prices, the level of supply and demand of commodities in the market plays a large role. The equilibrium prices are determined by the availability of the commodity in the market and the extent to which buyers are willing and able to buy the commodity. Consumers’ ability to purchase the commodities may be affected by various issues like high prices as a result of inflation or unemployment during recession times. At any price less ...

The interest rates for the central bank of Kenya have had different faces since 1991 with the rate changing as the economy of the country keeps on shifting from worst to best.

Liberalism focuses on the worldview setup on the ideology of liberty and equality. It supports ideas such as civil rights, free, and fair elections, freedom of religion, civil rights, freedom of the press among others. It can be summarized as the belief of individuals having the right to pursue their individual goals and to take up their liberty as long as in doing so they do not harm others or interfere with their freedom (Reus-Smit, 2005).
The advantages are; it promotes freedom and human rights. It also advocates equality by ensuring that everyone can participate in building the ...

Urban Farming is a new methodology of introducing farming to cities and to the urban landscape, particularly on top of buildings where it can be positioned conveniently for enough sun exposure and soil placement. Such examples include Brooklyn Grange Urban Farm and the roof garden in the Waldorf Astoria. Both exemplify that farming activities can be done in urban places.
I have observed several differences between the two urban farms. It can also be contested that Waldorf Astoria is more like a garden than a farm due to its smaller scale compared to the urban farm in Brooklyn. And also, the ...

Civil Rights Movement and American Paradox

Introduction
In 1960s, Republican overwhelmingly supported the Civil Right Movement and believed the idea from constitution “all men are created equal” and Northern Democrats supported the cause too. The Southern Democrats were “conservative” and were against the Civil Right Movement and they wanted segregation to stay within their society. They believed blacks being treated as “separate” were enough in itself.

Some examples of American Paradox to Civil Rights Movement:

Ku Klux Klan: Ku Klux Klan used to be very violent with the Blacks and they were against Blacks being treated as “Equals”. They used to do their best to ensure Blacks didn’t manage to vote and ...

Historically, the fundamental differences between sexes have been used as the basis of an argument against equality. Globally, there are various measures that have been used in measuring the disparities between men and women. The most common measures as adopted by the UN are health, empowerment and the labor market as they are the social and economic perspectives affecting inequality. The existence of inequality disparity on the basis of gender has been a major factor behind the loss of human development leading to inequality between female and male achievements (Kamrany and Robinson para 5). In most global societies, men and ...

Should the Minimum Wage be increased?
Minimum wage can essentially be described as the hourly wage rate set by the law, and it exists to ensure that people who work can earn enough compensation to support not only themselves but their families as well. The idea behind minimum wage has been in existence in American since the late 1800s and the early 1900s when the trade unions were formed and started agitation for better pay for workers from different professions. Since then, there have been various changes to the minimum wage over time, with the ...

- “Raising the minimum wage will ultimately bring about more harm than good to the majority of people working minimum wage jobs” is the thesis statement of the analyzed text, which contains the claim that minimum wages should in fact not be increased, as it impacts the minimum wage workers. The claim is solid and consistent, determining the further growth of the information.

Based on the reasons and warrant presented in the post regarding the Henderson article it appears that it is synonymous to the reasons and breakdown of warrants on my own worksheet.

Similarities

In the analysis section it was stipulated that Henderson’s argument to raise the minimum wage has an apparent negative social implication being it a factor that will cause teenagers to drop out of school. Although, the interpretation I have when it comes to teenagers dropping out of school is somewhat different because teenagers should be in school anyway and should not be working. In addition it would hurt ...

The report by Giovanni Peri on Rationalizing U.S Immigration policy explains the market-based reforms that ought to be implemented in the immigration system to connect employment-based inflows to the labour market. According to Peri (2010) immigrants raise living standards by boosting demand and increasing productivity thereby improving the economy and the well-being of their families. The reforms intend to use market-based auctions to apportion employment-based permits to employers as well as visas to immigrants that have a high chance to contribute to economic growth and, therefore, improve the economy of the US.

The history of the student and her family in terms of country of origin is clearly depicted in the paper. The fact that they are organizing a fundraiser to assist in setting up a project in their native country shows that relocating to the United States of America did not make them forget their history. This shows that history is an important aspect of people’s lives as it creates a sense of belonging to a certain group or social setting. The student states in the paper that although, she and her family moved to America, she holds her country and city of ...

Introduction

The issue of dominance of men in the society have been experienced since the earliest times. This has led to many debates throughout the world where some believe that men dominate women while others view these two groups as equal. Women in many instances have been discriminated due to the fact that they are under the control of men. This has led to feminism that is a collection of ideologies and movements whose aim is to define, establish, and defend equal economic, social, and economic rights for women. This in fact includes the efforts to establish opportunities that are equal ...

Studying business and economics at my undergraduate has been very helpful to me. It has helped me learn the different ways through which I can improve the business that I am involved in, I can also make decisions from an informed point of view rather than just making blind decisions.

1. In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, schoolmaster Albus Dumbledore says, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." How do you interpret this statement in light of what you know about motivation?

I think this statement contains so much wisdom. One’s character – which is made up of individual choices – defines who the person is more than how much he can do in life because of his abilities. For instance, a person may be very skilled in the use of technology. He is so adept in ...

In his speech nominating President Obama, former President Bill Clinton had a lot to say about the economy. To begin with, he said that Obama changed the course of the collapse of the economy and “stopped the slide into depression and put us on the road to recovery.”. He also said the country works better with a strong middle class and opportunities for poor people to work their way into it. In that train of thought he went on to say “advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics”.

Abstract

Economics is an academic discipline that deals with scarce resource planning. Macroeconomic and microeconomics are two fields of economics, dealing with decision making at aggregate level in the former and individual level in the latter. Microeconomics discusses individual preferences and macroeconomics considers aggregate scenarios. An analysis of self-decisions reveals that, in spite of the difference, these two fields are closely linked and interconnected. The microeconomic decisions taken by individuals impact macroeconomic variables, and macroeconomic phenomena impact individual decisions significantly.

Introduction: The current literature aims to address Global Warming as a threat to the economy as a whole. To establish the impact of Global Warming on the economy, it becomes crucial to develop a basic understanding of Global Warming. It can be defined as a situation where the sea levels rise as a consequence of constant rise in the earth’s temperature due to uninterrupted increase in the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Subsequently, a chain reaction occurs which endangers the life of almost all the animals, plants and human beings on the earth. Therefore if unattended, Global ...

The survival of the American Dream depends on the maintenance of the Union between North and South. If the South were to become its own country, neither power would become the grand entity that the framers envisioned when they created the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For example, the Southern economy is primarily agricultural, sending raw materials to the North, where the industrial sectors turn those materials into products for sale throughout the entire nation. This will help the North prevail in a conflict between the two regions, because the North has the wherewithal to build munitions and keep ...

Introduction

Predominantly, economic well-being has great connections with social well-being (Easterlin, 2001). As such, most of the public policies that are intended to improve the social welfare are usually directed towards variables that indicate economic welfare. However, not all aspects of social well-being have direct linkage with economic wellness. Thus, economic progress in a country does not entirely translate to social happiness among citizens since some economic growth policies involve trade-offs between social risk and income growth (Bok, 2009).
In essence, economic well-being entails a measure of economic wellness of citizens in a country ...

Obviously, if one gives a definition of the phenomenon of fashion, it should be said that it has to do with fashion, taste, and lifestyle. In fact, fashion is a certain lifestyle or its determining function. Vogue is something of a dominant style in one or more areas of life.

The features of understanding of vogue are largely determined by the socio-economic characteristics of the societies in which each of the concepts was formed. Fashion is mainly formed in high ...

Abstract

OPEC is an international cartel aimed at securing interests of the oil producing countries by restricting the oil production levels. The market structure of a cartel is similar to an oligopoly, the only difference being collusion between the dominant players. The paper attempts to understand these market structures, their welfare benefits and how the firms respond in certain situations. Game theory explains the incentive for firms to cheat in a cartel. The future strategy for OPEC is suggested based on synthesis of these concepts. It includes maintaining an active dialogue, designing a detailed disincentive plan and innovation.

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering. This is rather ironical considering that it is the same masses under the ‘guidance’ of some indigenous political leaders who struggled to attain this independence. It was expected that the working classes who form the majority of the population would after gaining independence enjoy both political, social and economic freedom. That every person ...

Introduction

Cost price squeeze is increasing of costs when market pressures like competition make it hard to increase commodity prices in order to cover for the escalating costs. In agriculture it involves increasing costs of inputs like seeds and fertilizers and the decrease of crop prices. The farmers end up paying more than they get due to the squeeze between prices and costs. Increase of costs in upstream can be caused by energy costs fluctuation, consolidation, and inflation. When fertilizer and seed companies consolidate, there are no low cost inputs for farmers to buy. Prices on the downstream can decline ...

Outsourcing has often revolutionized the business models and how businesses are conducted locally and globally.

The economic performance is depicted using the notions of aggregate demand and supply. Early instances of recession and inflation led to economists instituting policies that aim to sustain demand and supply. The classical theory was the first approach provided by the scholars that dictates that government or any other independent body should not intervene in economic matters. The organization should let the situations correct themselves. Other theories enacted include the Keynesian approach and monetary or fiscal policies. The key directive of this essay is to evaluate how the monetary policies can alleviate problems of spending, pricing, and employment.

Between the last quarter of 16th century and first decade of the 17th century, Amsterdam’s commodity trade suddenly emerged as metropolitan and cosmopolitan in genre.

“The biases the media has are bigger than conservative or liberal. They are about making money, getting ratings, about doing stories that are easy to cover”. This saying holds a vast amount of truth. Americans and other populations of the world trust and believe on what the media reports on the media outlets as the truth (Allen p. 40). However, researchers have found out that media outlets distort the stories and news they report leading to much attention given to some news than others. Some news stories are not heard in the radios, watched on television or read on newspapers. ...

Black power emerged as a result of the efforts made by African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s in the clamor for equal representation and opportunities in all the spheres of the public American life. The concept led to the rise of the black power movements across the United States of America. Chief among the black power movements is the civil rights movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King. King focused on accomplishing the mission of achieving equal rights for African American so that they could participate in the social, economic and political affairs without discrimination (Joseph 90).

Afghanistan, Qatar, and Albania are countries in Asia, Middle East and Europe respectively. The countries have attained a different level of economic development as up to date. Evidently, the countries also have differences and similarities in their political, religious and economic systems as the case among many nations in the global society. In this case, Afghanistan is mainly an Islamic state and the capital city is called Kabul. The misinterpretation of the Jihad by the Muslim community has contributed to an increase in terrorism activities.

Robert Merton and the functionalist and social control theorists maintain that most people obey the laws, rules and regulations of mainstream society because they have been trained and socialized to do so, while those who are more likely to become criminals and delinquents have weak social and community bonds. They are unable to obtain the money and material things that American culture values the most, so they turn to illegal methods to obtain them.

The world of literature has changed tremendously over the past ten years.

Gone are those days that the artist’s concern was the role of man as a dominating factor in the Australian home: And the woman being thought of as the weaker sex: who could not work in the factories and take prestigious posts when they were allowed to work. As the short story writers, we should go beyond traditions into the writing for developmental purposes.

One thing that can be observed and not be denied, is how consumeristic the society has become. Almost every decisions and actions that people make, are inclined to consuming or are influenced by economic aspects. Societies and economies are two things that literally coexists together. The economy affects societies in many ways, by influencing every aspect of people’s lives. Though the current state of an economy may not directly reflect the situations of the citizens in a nation. Even though this chapter discusses a quite technical topic, I was able to find a connection through its practical applications. ...

Slavery has widely been held as the primary reason for secession in the South.

From the poll we can infer that secession was as a result of numerous factors. This inference is supported by the Declarations of Causes, ...

Generation gap has been a widely discussed topic because of its significant impact on work, family and social relationships. The issue started being discussed during the post war era when globalization and multiculturalism were taking root in society.

History students would agree that the working population’s challenges became more noticeable during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century in Europe and America as compared to any other period in time. France relied on the close-by weave frameworks and corporate solidarity of working artisan trades. Nonetheless, urban growth did not stop bringing together traders with a much experienced way of doing trade leading to the reality of which a couple of specialists has judged it as a way of creating class and taste around French workers. History shows that a social affiliation inside trade bundles cannot speak to uprising in the ...
