Eco/372 Week 1 Reflection

Please tell me one new thing you learned this week. Detail it so that I know you clearly really understand it well.

There are several factors that affect our economy, gross domestic product (GDP), real GDP, nominal GDP, unemployment rate, inflation rate, and interest rates. All of these factors have influences over how we purchase groceries, weather there will be massive layoffs of employees, and decrease in taxes.

During week one meet with staff and providers to discuss the research that supports my change project. Also, randomly talking with patients to get their input and what they feel would meet their learning needs. Meeting with the stakeholders from my clinic. Reaching out to the IT department and meeting with the finance department.

Global competition has a direct impact on Wal-Mart. Global companies offer competition for consumer business and companies within the United States and other countries who compete with Wal-Mart. The global competition for consumer business primarily takes place in the e-commerce domain that Wal-Mart dominates. Wal-Mart offers their consumers a convenient one-stop website with all the merchandise and products offered in the store, and some that are not. The exchange is significantly sped up by the convenience and availability of the internet. The internet allows transactions to take place at a faster pace than the standard face-to-face or telephone method. Target, a major competitor of Wal-Mart, also has a Website that is reached by consumers all over the world. This added competition, especially from a competitor in the same industry, forces Wal-Mart to keep their prices low while offering

This week you may make some startling new discoveries. Be open to surprises from people you thought you knew well. You may even learn something about yourself!

Michaela answered after 2 rings with the standard greeting and identified herself. I jumped in and said that I have a CD coming due with a large bank but am disappointed with the interest it is earning. She asked me what term the CD was and I told her 6 months. She then gave me the rates and I told her that was also low. She then told me about the 9 and 12 month CD, which has higher interest rates. I told her that the 12 month was a little better. I told her it would be hard for my wife and I to get to the back, to which she told me that they are open until 6:00 on Thursdays and on Saturday. I told her my wife and I were busy this Saturday but might come in the following Saturday. She then told me that we would first have to open a main

Two things stood out to me this week: the first was just how much emphasis was put on the Gomery inquiry, and its impact on Canadian politics and its similarities to current Canadian politics. The second was how larger the concept of neoliberalism loomed in the global community in the two years before the Great Recession, which has come under fierce criticism in contemporary politics both in Canada and internationally.

It was good to see you this week. I am glad that you are feeling better.

Many of your comments resonated with me, so to wrap up our week, I wanted to share a few of these to summarize our learnings. These are as follows:

In PIEER, I continued reading “The Bond” book. It gives me a lot of understanding how our genes determine how we respond to our environment. We are connected with in our world throughout our lives. It is so interesting that the quality of air, water, diet, and the emotional climate have effective on our genes. Also, this week I have learned different things that help me to improve my work. I created recipes for Harvest Patch Festival and inserted the PIEER logo in it. I am so excited for this event. I have finished with health educational topic “Obesity” for Muslim immigrants.

When I was taking the Marketing course in the High School Program at Columbia University this summer, my professor often broke us into small group to accomplish some activities. The experience I had in the final project was really impressive. Back then, I was in a group with two American boys and a Canadian girl. The professor required us to develop a novel product or service and create a marketing campaign on our own. Recalling my experience of being unable to find my glasses in a morning, I had the idea of developing a tracking device. However, at the very beginning, the other members of the group didn’t feel the same way, because they didn’t wear glasses at all. Then I supposed we extend the function of the product to make it capable of

Joshua and I had a meeting today. We talked about his overall progress, and the assignments and evaluations he needs to work on during this week. Joshua is preparing for his ABE 444 Midterm Exam. It is going to be given tomorrow (Thursday) at 2:00 in our Proctoring Services offices. He is also preparing for an ABE 340 exam coming this Friday (11/03). He is also working on ENGL 212 Unit 4 Paper; it is due on Sunday, November 5th. Joshua has completed all his quizzes for the rest of this term in his ABE 350 class.

From the past week we learned seeing things in others perspective helps us understand their point regardless of

I have a better understanding of new concepts and familiar concepts, thanks to the readings for this week. The readings for this week helped expand my understanding on how politicians are effected by the media. It seems like any moment a politician can be scrutinized. Back region and axiology was not that familiar to me before the readings. The readings helped expand my understanding of the 5 criteria citizens use in order to evaluate a candidate. I was not even aware there was a visual solution to speeches because I am most familiar with the first three only. The only surrogate speakers I seen in political campaigns are at the conventions.

At the start of this class I questioned how you could be taught business in a class setting. I truly felt that business is something that you gained knowledge through experience, on the job training, and company advancements. In the past few weeks of digging into our Intro to Business class (chapters 1-8), I feel that I actually have a better understanding of how and why things work the way they do in a business setting. I’ve had business employment experience; and I feel that I have had a few moments in the literature of this class that gave me a bit of a “aha” moment. Moments that I was able to link back to my experience and thought, now it all makes sense.
