Part One The four functions of an economy. The four functions of an economy are what to produce, how much to produce, how to produce and whom to distribute to. 1. What to produce: This is essentially the decision of what an economy is going to produce with its resources. Sometimes an economy must choose to lose some goods in favour of producing more of something else. For example if an economy was at full employment and was producing an even number of both 50 cars and 50 boats but the economy…

I went to school on December 14th, 2012 just like I had done any other day. I was a sophomore in high school. My favorite class that year was Drawing & Painting, not because I was good or anything, but because it was an easy A class where I can just try to be creative to the best of my abilities. Since it was towards the end of the semester, I was almost done with my project. I remember we were painting on canvases using acrylic paints. I was painting a tree, with a wooden chair attached to it.…

Supply, Demand, and Market Prices are very key to the Economics world. The two, Supply and Demand, impact each other and impact prices of services within an economy and as well as consumer goods. Supply is the amount of a good or service that is obtainable at a certain time to consumers. When we talk about consumers, they reveal attention in buying a good or service, exhaust available supply, the when that happens the demand will certainly rise. Demand is a calculation of consumer wants and…

The Existence of God and the Devil Demon In Descartes’s piece of philosophical writing, “Meditations on First Philosophy”, he argues that he has the idea of God, therefore God exists. In my paper, I will contend that the same argument will not apply for the possibility of the Evil Demon. In the beginning of the Meditations, Descartes claims if he want to establish the stability of anything in science, he must start over from the foundations. He set the standard for knowledge, which must be…

You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball. Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless. While playing some may think you feel the pressure of…

The Effect of School Uniforms Everyone knows that there are many discussions about school uniforms. Do they affect students education or not? Danielle Spanner published by GlobalPost says, “Uniforms are being used as a way to level the socio-economic status of students, promote a school-wide culture and, most importantly minimize disciplinary problems associated with wearing casual clothes. . . Students from upper socio-economic statuses commonly receive more attention because of the latest…

Not a day goes by in this 2016 election year without hearing the engraving campaign words and phrases such as “Feel the Bern” and “Make America Great Again.” The television in every single living room across the country blares live debates while updating every single American citizen on the status of each candidate. Although there is a mute button for the television, unfortunately, there is no mute button for politics. Ever since the first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F.…

I’ve had my ups and downs with reading, starting out with some severe downs. It was truly a struggle in the beginning, to even figure out how I felt about reading. Why can’t I find the right book? Do I even like reading? The struggle in the beginning was figuring out what I liked to read. The other ones came later, such as, getting through school with my test anxiety, and having a hard time with comprehension, I didn’t see a bright side. Nevertheless, the only constant thing in our lives is…

One can argue that man’s human nature is both inherently good and evil, but it is through the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden that each generation born after them was no longer born without shame, which Hsun Tzu does a great job of showing how man’s nature is inherently evil. Hsun Tzu was a Chinese scholar who followed the Confucian belief who lived from 300-230 BCE. He wrote this piece of literature explaining how man is not born with an innocent or pure nature, meaning that in the…

SC5 Demonstrated commitment and capacity to actively contribute to a broad range of school activities and a capacity to reflect on, evaluate and improve professional knowledge and practice. My commitment and contribution to school activities began in my own schooling. As a student at school I was always looking for new programs and extra school activities to get involved with. In my final year alone I became a School Prefect, a House Co-Captain and a Platoon CUO. Whilst maintaining a high…
