Pink Paper Alarming Effect

Decent Essays
With behavioral economic policies in place, we can reduce a lot of waste and negligence. For example, If we put city notifications of fees and taxes on pink paper instead standard white paper, people will then pay more attention to the fees and are more likely to pay them on time. The pink paper has a psychological effect that's alarming. The change in papers could reduce the number of fees that becoming overdue. The issue of hassling folks to pay overdue fees would reduce. Many times those unnoticed fees that lead to warrants, could also decline. Those warrants tend to create a snowball effect that can disrupt people's lives. The goal is to make people's lives

    While certain symptoms of illness are less often overlooked, this is not always the case. An almost tragic example of this is portrayed by Charlotte Perkins in her story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” This eye-opening short story utilizes irony to present the narrator’s delusional state of mind, where as her husband, amongst the other characters, does not realize the fate of the narrator after her misdiagnosis. The issue that is more surprising than the depression and insanity seen in this story are the attitudes of the other characters. The narrator’s insanity is caused by her husband, the treatment prescribed to her, and her obsession with the wallpaper.…

Viagra is a pill used by men that has to do with the physical body whereas the pink pill affects a woman’s sex drive, which is a cognitive issue.

    The one-cent coin was the first piece of currency authorized by the United States government in 1793. Also included was the half-cent, dime and quarter-dollar. Today, one will probably not recognize the name or face of the half-cent. This is because it was discontinued in 1857 due to its lack of value and failure to facilitate trade. In recent years, the penny has taken to many of the same effects the half-cent had in the mid-1800’s.…

    As humans, we tend to be massive consumers, we buy anything that we can buy and sell anything that we can sell. Money is our master while the people are its slaves, we listen to what the markets have to say and follow what everyone buys. This is something that people who don’t support the “Buy Nothing Day” would say. Buy nothing day is a day where people literally buy nothing to cause awareness of excessive consumerism. But in all honesty people need to see the good in things, and the good of consumerism is that there is a smaller gap between the poor and the wealthy, people only buy things because they need to, and finally it helps the growth of the economy.…

    When most people hear of the Emancipation Proclamation, they tend to believe that it was the document that freed the slaves; however, this document was merely a political ploy by Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln issued the document in late 1862, and it took effect on January 1, 1863. When many look at how and when this document was issued, they often neglect to analyze the document using an economic way of thinking. When evaluated this way, Lincoln’s motives and reasoning for the proclamation, the impacts that were made, and the legacy that Lincoln left stray from the common beliefs. Economics can be defined in many ways, but in this case, it is best defined as a study of how people respond to incentives.…

    In the passage, Irving Coffman presents the argument that since tobacco companies are paying financial settlements to those who have been affected by their products, other companies who also put out legal but harmful products should do the same. He believes that this would be the right thing to do but he doesn’t realize the effect it would make on the economy. When I first read his argument, I thought it was a good idea. After further research though, I am now opposed to it. Although Coffman has a point, you have to consider many consequences that might result if his argument were to be carried out.…

    When looking at the economy and what systems work best to regulate it, you observe command and control or incentive system. Each side has their own benefits and downsides, but personally, I find that incentive is the better system. Reason being is that with an incentive system, the government has less control over the political decisions being made. It’s all about a game of who can earn the most money, and when it comes to government and money, they’re going to look for a way to earn the most money no matter the consequences. For example, 3 of Iceland's largest banks had borrowed 120 billion dollars (movie).…

    When people are presented with a daunting problem there can be a natural reaction to want to “do something.” Inaction in the face of injustice or other harmful situation may appear unacceptable and doing something—anything—to stem the tide, is seen as better than doing nothing. Although it may be counterintuitive to some, taking action against a problem can have detrimental results if the problem is not yet adequately understood. Public resources are scarce and committing limited funds to a new program would be unwise if there is only limited or unclear evidence of its effectiveness. Causality is difficult to identify and before we commit time, money, and personnel to solving a problem we need to disentangle possible causes and effects.…

    Americans and others around the world are often struck with what is deemed “shopaholic syndrome.” The symptoms of this are spending preposterous amounts of time and money shopping.

As the name implies, it is day when people choose to buy nothing to fight against and raise awareness of overconsumption and growing consumerism in our world. There are a myriad of flaws in the logic of the Buy Nothing Day; therefore, the Buy Nothing Day is not the transcendent solution to this problem.…

    Frequent exonerations of innocent parties affect the entire legal system in a myriad of ways. Perhaps no challenge is greater to the integrity of the American criminal justice system than that of the conviction of innocent individuals. Since the1990’s when DNA evidence became more widely known and accepted, a great deal of attention has been focused on wrongly condemned individuals and their post-conviction exonerations. In many of these cases, defendants had been sentenced to death and were awaiting execution.…

Environmentalists would be outraged by the damage done to locations that ought to be preserved for either biological necessity (water sources) or natural beauty. There is even a small chance that irreversible damage may be done to these locations, making them less desirable to visit. In short, if this moral rule were adopted, companies and countries would experience a gain in the short term.…

    Crime Pattern Theory (Brantingham and Brantingham 2008) examines people’s activity patterns, especially when traveling to, or gathering at particular places, in terms of ‘paths, nodes and edges’; and whether places are ‘crime generators’ (many crimes happen there simply because lots of people are passing through, some of whom happen to be opportunistic criminals) or ‘crime attractors’ (criminals are specifically attracted there because of features that make crime less risky, less effort or more rewarding). Broken Windows is a specific theory (Wilson and Kelling 1982) that suggests that if we fail to maintain the environment (for example by leaving broken windows unrepaired, or allowing litter to build up and public places to become dirty and…
