4.2. Supply This subsection is based mainly on the Book V of the Principles of Economics (8th Edition), where Marshall’s proposal was to consolidate the supply and demand theory founded “on the pioneering work of his many predecessor economists” (Moss, 2003 ; Lima, 1992). Marshall was not creating the supply and demand theory, less yet a neoclassical supply and demand theory. He was describing, and obviously improving when he considered appropriate, the state of the arts of his own time.…

In his book, Driven to Distraction (Hallowell & Ratey, 1994), Hallowell recounts his experience having ADD. He relates to when he first discovered that he had Attention Deficit Disorder. (ADD) It was in one of his college classes. He, like some of the millions of other people in the United States alone who have it, had no idea. To him, he was just a kid who couldn’t pay attention in class and who wasn’t able to try had at many things. Hallowell states that one day in class, his professor began…

Somalia on its mind. It had inherited the Somali civil war crisis from the Bush administration, which, as described, had chosen to intervene in large part due to public opinion. A key aspect of the AE framework is that leaders tend to use the availability heuristic to choose the analogy on which they’ll base their next decision. Broadened to the American public, the AE framework would posit that the people also had Somalia on their minds, coloring their feelings toward intervention in Rwanda. In…

American Abduction Epidemic? Are missing children an American epidemic? While many parents fear that it is, I disagree. In fact, I believe there is an irrational fear surrounding child abductions and “stranger danger” in The United States. This is evident when examining the actual statistics as opposed to listening to the media’s portrayal of these incidents. Throughout this essay, you will read some of the statistics of fear, the media’s role in causing this fear, and why parents are…

Throughout this semester, I learned a lot about myself, and I found a new passion, psychology. In high school I had the privilege to take a sociology course, and I really enjoyed it, so I was enrolling for my first semester in college and decided to take psychology 1101. This by far was one of the best decisions of my freshmen year. This class opened an entirely new world within my degree. As a Biological Sciences major, I was excited to explore different branches of biology but I never thought…

Every action and attitude by others are derived from the society around him. The people around you-- and, most importantly, the groups they break up into-- affect your attitudes through the treatment the status quo causes them to give you; the norms they set. After being influenced by an ideal, other specific ideas will develop which will cause other specific actions. This kind of shaping leads to the creation of norms, obedience, and the way we interact in groups. Attitudes control actions.…

Racial and ethnic disparities have long marred the dissemination of health information and the availability, delivery, and quality of care. Despite efforts to reduce such inequalities, disease diagnosis and treatment remain at the forefront of community health intervention research. This issue is exemplified by incidences of breast cancer among African American women in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, non-Hispanic White women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a…

Among minority populations, racial and ethnic disparities have long marred the dissemination of health information and the availability, delivery, and quality of care. Despite recent efforts to reduce such glaring inequalities, their implications for community health, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, remain on forefront of community health intervention research. This issue is exemplified by incidences of breast cancer among African American women in the United States. Data…
