Owais Ansari IB Economics Ms. Lee 7 September, 2010 Naked Economics: It Depends Economics is one of the most unpredictable ideas in our world. Every single country has its own distinct economy, and some economies are more well off than others. In America, the economy relies on a little thing called consumer sovereignty. This ties in with the idea of popular sovereignty. Basically, consumer sovereignty means the people rule and always act in their best interest.

Jason Baker Eng-11-10 July, 29, 2010 Melissa Byrd Exam, Final Essay Welfare; The falling of America. Welfare once began as a way to save the over burdened American from complete and total loss of everything they had worked so hard to acquire or accomplish, but it has now become the largest and misused form of government support that now only serves to make people more dependent, and in turn damages society morally as a whole. Welfare has thus far in our history as a country only bred laziness. First, people on welfare; for the most part, do not have to work. All the government requires of people on welfare is to fill out a job application on a regular basis and then that person will be eligible to receive benefits.
Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield. But I believe that by far, the most productive and sustainable legislation and business practices always come from the center. Therefore it is my recommendation that the public at large look at the lessons of the past and see that neither a pro-business nor a pro-regulatory climate is the most beneficial one. I believe that the best answer, the best solution, the most sustainable outcome will be the one closest to the center.

Hunter Sallee ENGL 1010-21 10 September 2013 Writers Notebook 4 Writers Notebook Four Is there one positive essay about our working industry anywhere? Now everything I have ever been told is being completely blown out of the water. I was always under the impression that the better your education the better paying your job will be. Now I’m being told that it’s the people who have higher educations that should be worried because its those jobs that are now being computerized. So when Obama said that the way to work on the job crisis is to invest in education that was wrong.
With technology that runs the life’s of millions, and the constant need to obtain anything and everything without a price, Lao-Tzu would hang his head in shock at the life we have grown so quick to know. There are places in the government and in the life of today that Lao-Tzu would think inadequate for living; however, we must look at what in our life meets his guidelines as well. Modern American society is not perfect. The ways of the world have changed since 6th century BC and life has become much more complicated all the while striving to make things simpler. The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically.
Are We the Dumbest Generation? Adults often argue that the intellectual ability of today’s generations has taken a turn for the worst due to the amount of technology they are exposed to as they develop mature ideals. English professor Mark Bauerlein examines in his 2008 book the effects of digital media and how it has caused young people to be more connected and technologically savvy as a result of the wide range of modern inventions, but he also asserts that this has caused them to become less intelligent; therefore, he presents the modern ages as the Dumbest Generation. Young people have a tremendous amount of information available to them due to technology through social networks, the internet, and video games. Many respectable individuals discuss on whether to call the modern generation the “dumbest generation” (Bauerlein) or realizing that they might be participating in an intellectual revolution.
Population stabilization is not necessarily easy to achieve though. Birth control and family planning are great ways to help slow population growth. This works in multiple ways, but the most successful approach is to educate the people and allow them to make their own informed decisions on this subject. All nations need to address population stabilization though, including developing nations, as this is a key role in global efforts for sustainability. “The ideological split between developed and developing countries was a thing of the past – all agreed that population growth must be dealt with in order to make progress in reducing poverty and promoting economic development.” (Wright & Boorse, 2011) A well-developed economy’s population stabilizes itself.
Rough Raft Is the current two-party system we have in the United States the best system for distributing power? The US government, in recent years has proven just how ineffective both the democratic and republican parties have become at getting anything helpful or meaningful accomplished, even when the current situation demands it. But an even bigger problem facing voters is there are no alternatives. The two party system in the United States, combined with the electoral college, have created a system where voters are often forced to choose the best of two evils. The most important question here is what should be done about this problem in our current voting system?
