Economics journals

Journal Entry 2 – Economics – By Kyra Cameron This article by Ian Austen is about explaining the damages caused by the fires in Fort McMurray, Alberta to the Oil Sands industry, leading to a negative effect on the Canadian Economy. During the fires in Fort McMurray many oil companies slowed down or stopped pumping oil and production stopped by approximately 1 million barrels a day. With oil being a major industry in Alberta, overall output dropped by about 40 percent due to the decrease in production. Not only is Canada at a loss for production, but the government is expected to pay for 90% of the repairs in the oil industry caused by the damages of the fire. Austen, I. (2016, May 11). Canada Fire Deals Staggering Blow to Oil Sands Industry…

This annotated bibliography is designed to give readers a comprehensive indication of readings regarding the “The effect Immigration has on the United States.” In recent times, majorly because of the presidential election there has been a lot of discussion on the subject of immigration. And so, I used various sources from journals, books, blogs and T.V. interviews to get information from a broad range and an insight of different perspectives about the subject of the impact immigration causes.…

In an entry in the Journal of Economic Perspectives written by Alan Krueger and Jitka Maleckova, this topic is examined. Researchers obtained information from failed Palestinian suicide bombers and found a much different result than what most people would assume. It was found that individuals who carried out suicide bomb attacks for terrorist organizations are less likely to come from poverty-stricken families. It was also apparent that these individuals are more likely to have completed high…

From the Private Journal of a Journey The events of American history are very much connected to the influence of American literature and what it has become today. The effects of the world around him/her mostly gather the inspiration that a writer needs, and this is how the geography and history of America have made an impact on American literature. When beginning to read From the Private Journal of a Journey by Sarah Kemble Knight I learned that it was a private note she had wrote in her journal…

With healthcare being such a rapidly moving field it is important that we, as aspiring medical professionals, understand what is progressing in our profession. Within the blink of an eye healthcare changes; doctors, professors, phds, are coming up new theories, journals and studies daily. It is our job as current students in this field to do our best to further understand these journals studies, etc.and the writing that is involved in our field. Why you may ask? There are arguably an infinite…

My journal is a place where I can be open with my thoughts. Having never done a journal in a class before, I assumed at the beginning of the semester this was going to be just another monotonous assignment. After a couple classes, the daily journal grew on me. My journal allows me to think through the items we discuss in class and flush out all of my analysis. More specifically, I constantly related items we learned in class to real life situations that I am facing. Making those connections in…

I stand in the stationary section of Walmart looking at journals. The shelves tower over me as I take in the possibilities that await for me on this quest. The journals that catch my eye are not the standard compositions, but the red ones, blue ones, and the colorful Lisa Franks. I continue to the pens; only the most colorful would do. My eyes rake across each package until I come across the one that I know is the most powerful tool the world has to offer. As I look at my full hands, I know…

There are two types of scholarly research, qualitative and quantitative; they are both distinct in nature. The article, Relationship of Core Self-Evaluations Traits – Self-esteem, Generalized Self-efficacy, Locus of Control, and Emotional Stability – With Job Satisfaction and Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis (Judge & Bono, 2001) is an example of quantitative research. In order to determine if the research article is credible and scholarly, it is important to not only look at the credibility of…

research sources that I’ve come across in the past month or so doing research for our Individual Endeavor. However, I am not writing to draw conclusions and create a thesis statement. Rather, I plan to dive deep into what makes each piece of writing what it is, from its audience, genre, situation and medium. The first source that I will be exploring in this essay comes from the Journal of Sustainable Tourism. The article, entitled “Integrating Indigenous values with capitalism through…

Out of all the theories we’ve covered through the course of the semester. Person-centered therapy has managed to capture my attention the most, and here’s why. Trust is something that’s automatically given to the client who is seen as the sole contributor of being able to solve his or her own problems without the assistance of direct intervention. Now, when I first heard of this therapy I immediately thought. “So, what exactly does the therapist do again?” It turns out that the therapist’s job…
