P4) Review factors that have contributed to one declining destination (Cyprus) and one developing (Greece) in the European travel market.

In the United States, we encounter quite a bit of obstacles that we can’t seem to get rid of completely. We as a nation deal with inflation, unemployment, stagflation, recessions, depressions, and so much more. Reading these three articles opened my eyes to the world of economics, and even made me question the society we live in. I’ve learned that sometimes questions can’t be answered, and I learned that once we solve one issue, there is always another issue on its way. These articles made me analyze, and think about the future of economics, and what I can do to try and help the economy. These authors of these three articles make it very clear that there are issues in the United States, and they do an amazing job

a. Say we are already suffering the long-run consequences of the policies of the remote or recent past.

Identify and describe at least two resources that teachers can utilize in their planning and implementation. These can be text or web-based resources.

The bank rate is the interest rate at which the Bank of Canada stands ready to lend reserves to chartered banks. The banker 's deposit rate is the interest rate that the Bank of Canada pays banks on their deposits at the Bank of Canada. Changes to these rates by the Bank of Canada typically spread to other interest rates and therefore will influence the amount of lending done by the banks.

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.

I will always try to communicate with others so that I can solve problems and help people to the best of my abilities. Communicating helps for me to connect to the other players problems or situation. If someone needs help to report someone, I will do it straight away and help him get passed his or hers problem. Sometimes, the players will not be getting help from the staff members. I would love to reduce that problem and will answer there questions safe and soundly no matter who it is.

I’m actually pretty embarrassed about my performance in the practice of the spells we learned today. I actually did fairly well with the Stunning Spell. My partners and I were able to cast it at about the same time. With quick slashes downwards towards our opponents, we kept saying the incantation, Stupefy! We both also were quite adept at dodging the spells, so it took a little while for one of us to knock the other out. In the end, I won that round. It took a lot of focus, but not as much willpower. I was also holding back a bit, because I didn’t necessarily want to knock them out for long, even knowing the Reviving Charm. After getting some help from Professor Silvers to revive my partner, as I hadn’t mastered the Reviving Charm yet and the designated counter caster hadn’t quite gotten it either, we moved onto our practice of the Full

In the poverty simulation I played the role of a 16-year-old girl named Connie Chen who was 7 months pregnant. My father had just gotten laid off from his job and my mother was the only one bringing in income for our family. Our monthly expenses exceeded our income which forced us to choose between basic necessities. Cultural considerations weren’t mentioned in our packet, but since we were of Chinese decent it is possible a lack of knowledge in navigating the U.S health system would be a barrier to receiving necessary healthcare. The Chinese culture also puts less emphasis on individual feelings and more emphases on loyalty to the family, making it important to include the whole family in decision making.

Thank you for your reply and the additional information. I wasn’t sure what direction I was going to go in this week until I begin to write on the topic provided. It is just so many things that influence the economy, even the environment. Supply and demand pushes output numbers; however, interest rates and employment number have a great effect on the economy as well. Again, thanks for the input and I look forward to your posting.

In the Planning Ahead and the Planning for Instruction and Assessment sections indicates the EdTPA is composed of 3-5 consecutive lessons. Do we complete the two lesson required for this course consecutively? My placement site plans of Friday for the following week; how do I plan for commentary using the curriculum pacing guides provided to me that is also a district requirement?

Formulate a reason why the elasticity of demand is an important consideration when analyzing the impact of a shift in supply and why the elasticity of supply is an important consideration when analyzing the impact of a shift in demand. Include at least one (1) example in each scenario.

The field engages in the scientific process; the results of the work should be inconclusive in its definition. At this point in time economics generally cannot produce models that can predict outcomes with a sufficient degree of precision or accuracy. However, this does not mean that economics can never reach that point. The fact that economics uses the scientific process in an attempt to meet this goal signifies it should be defined as a science. There is no true evidence to suggest that like all the other sciences the authors presented did economics will not develop the ability to predict outcomes with sufficient accuracy and precision in the future. The authors of the essay assert that a history of predicting outcomes with sufficient precision and accuracy is essential to characteristic science because it allows the author to argue that economics is not a science without acknowledging that economics adheres to the scientific

In an article published by The Spectator entitled “Why foreign aid fails – and how to really help Africa,” Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson condemn the current system of foreign aid granting and suggest an alternate, more efficient solution. They support their points by deducing that “extractive institutions,” in which incentives for economic prosperity are few, are the culprit of enduring poverty; by providing examples where foreign aid failed to reduce poverty (Congo, Angola, Syria, and South Africa); by giving testimonies from former British Prime Minister David Cameron and multilateral institutions concerning the effectiveness of foreign aid; and by advising an alternative solution to combating poverty, involving diplomatic relations

The film Black Gold is a good, albeit biased, take on the state of the coffee industry in the African nation of Ethiopia. Taken almost purely from the view of the farmers, it sheds light on the conditions they live in and opens the eyes to prime examples of dependency theory and conflict theory. Although panned by many critics for its lack of economic breakdown on a more global scale, the film shows the viewer how these issues really feel to those at the bottom of the ladder. Black Gold was released in 2006 by brothers and filmmakers, Nick and Marc Francis. Its focus is on the coffee trade worldwide using the smaller focal point of the country of Ethiopia and even more specifically, the Oromia Coffee Union (a cooperative of some 74,000 farmers,
