Expectations is a critical topic on macroeconomics and defines the pivotal elements of every market economy and controlling all the economic transactions and decisions. The activities within an economy are usually defined by the expectations of the people.

In normal situations, when the supply of goods like oil falls, its price rises pushing for higher production by producers while consumers conserve on its use to get substitutes and get prepared for more. The price controls are significant in controlling the expectations and eliminating the poorly executed economic plans or activities. The government intervenes in the economic expectations or plans ...

The experiences that people go through in life help shape their characters and actions. The behaviors that people exhibit cannot be looked at exclusively from an idealistic moral perspective. It is therefore important to look at an individual’s past situations before throwing a blanket judgment on them. This is the case with Troy Maxson in the play “Fences” written by August Wilson. An abstract look at his behavior would suggest that he is a selfish and egoistic man, yet a closer look at his life experiences suggests that more often than not, there was an underlying justification for ...

1) Which were the primary causes of the Great Depression? According to Walton and Rockoff, an acceptable explanation for the Great Depression has to distinguish between the initial forces, which brought a downturn in financial activity, and later events, that turned a downturn into a calamity. We can detect two issues on the economy that foreshadowed the real slump in economic activity. First, there was a decline in the construction industry that began 1925, that had a significant impact on the depression. Second, the agricultural sector suffered greatly, with falling world prices and massive indebtedness (422). Walton and Rockoff ...

Psychology

In a study published in the Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, researchers worked on the importance of the prior knowledge before facing the present situations or conditions (Bransford, and Marcia K Johnson 717). Research shows that subjects usually develop semantic thoughts joining the present information and prior knowledge. Therefore, researchers studied the role of prior knowledge and its importance in comprehending the present information. They were trying to show that prior knowledge is not only involved in comprehension but is also necessary for the meaningful information. They also studied the effect of prior knowledge on subjects by ...

The universe is so large that scientists believe that there are over two billion galaxies glimmering throughout space. Earth calls one very special galaxy home and that galaxy is the Milky Way. Many city dwellers don’t get to see the Milky Way and some children have never seen it at all because of urbanization and light pollution. But, once those nasty, artificial night light polluters are gone, one can see the very end of the galaxies spiraling tail. This essay will cover a few interesting facts about the Milky Way and how modern society effects populations around the ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”). The wired filament of the incandescent bulb was initially made using carbon obtained from a cotton thread that was uncoated. This filament gave the bulb a lifespan of just 14.5 hours. Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...

Introduction

Our galaxy, the star system of our solar system, is called the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a grand cluster of stars visible in the sky as a bright band of fog. In the ancient Greek, the word "galaktikos" means "milk", "milky", so the Milky Way and stellar systems similar to it are called galaxies. In our galaxy, there are more than 200 billion stars of very different luminosity and color ("The Milky Way Galaxy - 200 billion stars", 2016). The Solar neighborhood is the volume of the galaxy, where we can observe and study the stars of ...

Based on the example of the Amos Yee case, we would like to demonstrate and analyze the work of the media towards the definition of deviation, or more simply how the media affect the formation of the generally accepted norms of behavior. In general, the media always overestimated an importance to the public opinion. The journalists are always trying to build information in the form, in which it will be taken by as many people as possible. In this case, it turns out that many of the events, and many of the individuals are a bit exaggerated in their ...

Management

Abstract Conformity and differentiation are strategic tools that businesses utilize in order to gain advantage in the competition. However, institutional theory, including the resource-based literature opposes the existing view about differentiation. The trade-off in many industries suggests that extreme differentiation and conformity appears to damage performance while moderate differentiation creates an opposite effect. This discussion will explore the context of conformity and differentiation from related theories and evaluate the statement, whether the trade-off could provide a better advantage for the any industry.

Introduction

The context of differentiation and conformity refers to how an organization or business establishes its identity. Every ...

The quick trigger of the financial crisis of 2008 was the bursting of the United States housing bubble, which crested in between 2004 (Krugman 43). High default rates on "subprime" and flexible rate mortgages (ARM), started to rise rapidly from that point. An expansion in loan motivations, for example, simple starting terms and a long haul pattern of rising lodging costs had urged borrowers to expect troublesome home loans in the conviction they would have the capacity to rapidly refinance at better terms (Brink, Lowe and Victoravich 101). Once financing costs started to rise and housing costs began to ...

Meyer et al., (2009, 38-39) stated that organisms are usually “grouped” according to their traits in a single taxon which is to track the original ancestor of the specie; the traditional naming was based on the Linnaean classification composed of: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and specie. It is important to note first the characteristics of the organism before naming. In the scientific world, taxonomy is the universal language in which scientists from different nations understood each other because of the Latinized classifications as a result of the physical attributes, performance, lifespan, location of the discovery, cell structure, ...

Introduction

In the realm of Mathematics, there are many concepts that can be applied to multiple fields of mathematics. One of these concepts is the “Fibonacci sequence” that was developed by Leonardo Pisano during the 13th century. The Fibonacci number and sequence proposed by him gives a clear indication that mathematics can be connected to many things that may seem unrelated to it. The Fibonacci sequence has remarkable characteristics; it can be applied to various fields like discrete mathematics, number theory and geometry. By definition, the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence starts with either 0 and 1, or 1and1, and ...

Technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) are important tools mutually used by educators and learners to organize and develop the educational activity in its advanced form. In the present paper, investigating students' difficulties within the transition to the new model of education and acquiring of ...

The Spiral of Silence was a theory created by Dr. Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, a German political analyst in 1974. The theory is based on the public opinion; as Neumann suggests, people are more confident in voicing out their opinions if they know that their own opinion matches the opinion of the majority. In some cases, if the opinions bare quite different than that of the majority, people refuse to voice out their opinions and remain silent (Donsbach, Salmon and Tsfati, 2014).

Those people who belong to the minority are afraid to voice out their views for the fear of being socially isolated ...

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to define the context of Spiral of Silence and to identify the theorist who created the theory.
