The U.S. desperately needed cash to pay for tanks, guns and ammo, uniforms and food for soldiers, so war bonds were the answer. They were promoted to both adults and children. Each single bond would cost $18.75 to purchase, and in ten years could be sold back to the government for $25 (NWW2M). So, a war bond is nothing more than a loan issued from civilians to the government that yielded a 2.9% return. Children were also encouraged to buy 10-cent to 25-cent stamps that they could put into a stamp booklet and eventually raise the $18.75 needed for a full bond.
FILE MEMORANDUM PREPARED BY: Eric Hebner DATE: February 16, 2012 RE: Cost and Pricing Analysis for The Craddock Cup PROBLEMS FACED: The Craddock Cup is a high school soccer tournament sponsored by the Craddock Youth Soccer Club. This tournament is generally seen as a success by the participants, spectators, and by the community. When the tournament began the league was expecting a $6000 profit when in actuality the tournament expenses were growing quicker than the revenues. These losses are starting to frustrate the board members and because of this manager Jose Rivaldo may have to cancel the tournament or worst case scenario he could lose his job. FINANCIAL DATA/REFLECTION: The first thing that needs to be looked when looking
Braulio Sanchez 5118986 Singer’s Unrealistic Solution In the New York Times article, “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer tries to persuade his audience to donate a huge chunk of their annual earnings to charities that assist those children that are impoverished overseas. Singer does this by proposing almost insane, unrealistic ideas, such as donating more than half of their income and only living off of necessities. This, of course, is preposterous because as humans we want to have luxury items such as expensive TVs and fancy cars so we can enjoy our leisure time. When looking at this article its ineffectiveness becomes clear; this article in its entirety is a giant appeal to the readers’ emotions with not enough logical or reasonable arguments to support his argument. Although Singer has strong ethos because of his status as a philosopher, his essay is ineffective due to his misuse of two certain scenarios in order to persuade people to donate by making them feel guilty & relies far too much on pathos to persuade his audience rather than focusing on logos and ethos.

In this cut throat and disproportioned world, we see imbalance like no other time in history. Children are starving, while athletes play a sport they love and get paid fortunes to do it. We live in a world where people drive 13 cars to where people can’t afford shoes to walk miles every day just to get water for their family to live. Once a symbol of international pride and the love of fair play, sport brought countries out of war to come together to test their skill ("United nations," 2008). Now it is a get rich scheme where the rich get rich and the poor will stay poor.

Atmosphere Issues Name University of Phoenix As the new Mayor of Sparksville, the town was anticipating a change that could sustain the city. The best choice I went with made the economy thrive and successful it stated I was an ECO – Hero but my grade does not reflect that. The first one was the Distribution Company which was good but had some issues with the proposal, the proposal was straight forward yet not enough information to help Sparksville be a sustainable city. The proposal was to create jobs five hundred jobs for Sparksville citizens but that was all, the Distribution Company promised to do emissions testing a couple of times a year but that was not enough to make me want to vouch for the them to the Board. The Distribution Company felt that the government was to help Sparksville become a sustainable city.
