Socio-political and Economic Comparisons Based on Mankiw (2012), the law of demand infers that a decline in the price of a good increases the quantity demanded. Therefore, the price elasticity of demand gauges how much the quantity demanded reacts to a change in price. Demand for a product is deemed to be elastic in scenarios where the quantity demanded reacts considerably to changes in the price. Demand is described as inelastic if the quantity demanded responds only slightly to changes in the price

What if we all lived in an ideal world, where race is not an issue and everyone starts off from the same socio-economic status or “vitality chips.” Would disparity or gap continue to exist? This is the question that continued to conjure in my mind as we played the last straw’s game. However, we live in a world where people’s race, gender, socio-economic status plays a significant role in how they are raised, which ultimately influences their life’s journey. Similarly, the game the last straw mimics

Our first motive is to spread awareness amongst the mass about sustainable fashion and the affects its absence has on our environment. The fashion industry is based on a model of continual economic growth fuelled by ever-increasing consumption of resources. What needs to be retained is – continual economic growth and what needs to be changed is – ever-increasing resource consumption. So what I propose here is an idea which can possibly be a giant step towards sustainable fashion. The concept central

The history of money dates back to the very dawn of human civilization, and as early as 9000 BC both cattle and grain were used as money or as a means of trade and barter.

The first use is the original purpose for which the artifact was created, and the second purpose is to

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) is an education classification which refers to disciplines of the aforementioned fields. The humanities, on the other hand are disciplines

The middle class. It’s exactly how it sounds. The middle of the socio economic ladder and what a majority of the United States working class is located. This class is what shaped me into the man I have become and continuing to grow as today.

students attending universities. Australian public universities need to be more inclusive, mainly when it comes to enrolling poorer students. For example, Marcia Devlin (2012) argues that undergraduate students enrolled in universities from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds are marked as inadequate when the public education system benefits from wealthier students more than others.
