Thank you for coming in last week. I have looked at your portfolio, and have some initial observations. These are not specific recommendations, but rather investment issues to think about, based on your specific situation.
A. The concept of elasticity of demand has played a major role in managerial decision-making. It has greatly helped managers in consideration of whether lowering a price will lead to an increase in demand of a certain product, and if so, to what extent and whether profits would increase as a result of doing so. In this case the concept of demand becomes advantageous in that:
I will always try to communicate with others so that I can solve problems and help people to the best of my abilities. Communicating helps for me to connect to the other players problems or situation. If someone needs help to report someone, I will do it straight away and help him get passed his or hers problem. Sometimes, the players will not be getting help from the staff members. I would love to reduce that problem and will answer there questions safe and soundly no matter who it is.
Thank you for your reply and the additional information. I wasn’t sure what direction I was going to go in this week until I begin to write on the topic provided. It is just so many things that influence the economy, even the environment. Supply and demand pushes output numbers; however, interest rates and employment number have a great effect on the economy as well. Again, thanks for the input and I look forward to your posting.
In the poverty simulation I played the role of a 16-year-old girl named Connie Chen who was 7 months pregnant. My father had just gotten laid off from his job and my mother was the only one bringing in income for our family. Our monthly expenses exceeded our income which forced us to choose between basic necessities. Cultural considerations weren’t mentioned in our packet, but since we were of Chinese decent it is possible a lack of knowledge in navigating the U.S health system would be a barrier to receiving necessary healthcare. The Chinese culture also puts less emphasis on individual feelings and more emphases on loyalty to the family, making it important to include the whole family in decision making.
You also expect to be able to accomplish your work quickly and with minimal stress, leaving more time to work and spend with your family. You expect to be able to do what you did in high school and still pass. However college, by far, is nowhere as easy as most anticipate. You have to study, unlike high school, where you could float on by with A's by seldomly attending class. College is harder than high school and therefore
At the beginning of the semester of FIN 421, you asked each student what career path they wanted to pursue. At that moment I sarcastically answered, “I wanted to be a CFO of a company in about 15 – 20 years”. Now looking back after just 4 months, I am inspired to pursue a career in executive field. I was not serious about this career goal until we had guest speakers, Dan Cox and Kevin Lycklama from Riverview Bank. Both of them originally took the path of Accounting and Auditing. I feel like I am in the same position as they were 15 years ago. I am inspired by their story and want to follow their footsteps.
Preparing for College after graduating from high school is considered to be as one of the most thought by students. Even so, most students nowadays are uncertain whether attending college will be a good advantage for them. Some believe that it is a waste of time and money, but most people consider it as a reason to thrive in life. Unlike High school, College is certainly different because it determines your future and should be taken more earnestly by the students. College education is a worth of cost because it basically provides students with great benefits, which can be a good help in shaping their future goals.
College is like a steeping stone to becoming a responsible adult because for the first time most people are practically on their own. It is completely different from high school in that not only that school has to be dealt with, but you have to juggle your personal time and financial state as well. They go away to college and face circumstances that they would most likely come across when they finally do go on their own. Bills have to be paid, time has to be managed efficiently, and deadlines have to be met, just like in the "real world."
As someone who had always been prudent, I wanted a major that involved risk, and the out-of-the-box thinking I enjoyed. To me, business was all of the aforementioned. Who would’ve thought selling something like “pet” rocks could make someone a millionaire? Looking to an even more ludacris invention, who would’ve thought that selling a singing plastic fish would go viral. Herein lied what I thought to be the “magic” of business and entrepreneurship – the fact that it wasn’t a prescribed path but one that I could pave for myself.
Going to college allows for many opportunities to open up in life. Society is changing at a very rapid rate. College is a very difficult time for nearly everyone, as Charles Murray who published an article on should the Obama Generation Drop out also states that “A large majority of young people do not have the intellectual ability to do genuine college-level work” (95). Attending college is not for everyone, but It can teach you to learn how to become independent, develop discipline, evolve new life skills, and learn how to balance a social life versus student life. The experiences you obtain and gain from attending college can lead you to learn how to live your life within the college environment in a way that creates harmony with who you are. It is a time of trial and error until you find what works for you. Eventually harmony is found by choosing a major that coincides in a positive way with the person you are.

It is natural that your life will be in disharmony when the circumstances in your life change dramatically, such as when you go to college, but your life should eventually return to being less stressful. During your college journey, you will make many friends. Many friendships that you make in college
We all know that everyone goes through high school and college. We can compare that college is much more challenging and complex than high school. This is a higher level of learning, thus, requiring more time, effort as well as devotion to studies. Even though college is very tiring at times, I still believe that college is much more enjoyable and exciting. To have that kind of freedom in your schedule is very rewarding; however, proper judgment is a must since we are all mature students now.
College is a chance to be free and is a bridge between the real world and school. I’m an adult and expected to behave as such; I make my own choices where I have to decide what is important to me. I have an opportunity to learn how the world works, to explore the limitless possibilities and a chance to admire how vast knowledge can be. College will change my life in the way that I can develop life skills outside academics, to be fully
Although one might think that college is simply one step above high school, there are several differences between the two, and one must be prepared for what’s ahead. This essay will discuss a few of the most important differences between high school and college.
As I graduated high school, I thought college would just be yet another four years of high school, and I was wrong. College opens many new doors in a young man or woman’s life. There are new responsibilities and pressures that you will have to deal with, and with more freedom these responsibilities and pressures can be difficult to handle. College has changed a great deal over the years and these changes, such as more freedoms, make college a much more challenging experience. You need to start preparing for college now by making yourself more responsible and having more self-control. Although you think college is merely partying with easy classes on the side, I have experienced pressures and work loads that make the experience challenging
