bigger risk and failures; they are the roaring lion of innovation in Silicon Valley. The government has trouble with being as innovating as the private sector. The state should therefore only interfere in the innovation economy to give money to research, provide education and to encourage cooperation between academia, government and industry. The best way to get an innovated environment/economy is to keep the government regulation to a minimum and believe in market mechanisms, Isaacson says.…

Some people say that there is a difference between urban and suburban sprawl. Mrs. Lowry states that urban and suburban sprawl is the same thing as urban sprawl is people leaving the cities for housing options that allow them to spread out more but still close enough to the city to work. This is exactly was suburban sprawl is. However, suburban areas encourage more commuting as it takes longer to get from place to place, which increases gas emissions, and using farmlands as land for new housing…

While Confucius argues that a monarch should lead his people by being morally upright, Cicero argues that the ideal government is a…
