The Impact of the Theory of the Consumer Choice on Demand Curves, Higher Wages and Higher Interest Rates

The theory of consumer behavior shows how the choice is affected by the price of goods, income and preferences, and the way buyers maximize their net gains from the purchase of goods and services. The price change of a good affects the consumer demand structure in two ways. Any change in the price results in the appearance of the income and substitution effects, as it changes the amount of available goods and their relative prices. The above effects are consumer reaction to changes in relative prices and real income (Mankiw, 2014).
The substitution effect is the change in the ...

Introduction

Germination is the process by which a plant develops from a seed and grows in optimal conditions where temperature and water available is suitable for the transformation of a seed into a plant. The conditions are favorable when the right balance of air, moisture and temperature are reached that stimulate the seed to come out of hibernation and start sprouting a root and shoot that starts the process of germination(Bewley, J. Derek, et al). Mostly, germination is the growth of embryonic seeds. When a seed is germinating and fertilizing, it produces an embryo where an embryo is present after fertilization and this embryo gets ...

ABSTRACT

The involuntarily and subconscious behavior of some individuals can be described as extraordinary capabilities. When individuals cannot consciously account for their actions, the phenomena is called ideomotor effect. The effect is not clearly understood though scientific research strongly relates it with the subconscious mind. The difficulty in conducting experiments to come up with a clear psychological and scientific explanation for the ideomotor effect, has lead to it being related to psycho-kinesis and extra sensory perception. The two (ESP AND PK) have an explainable origin from the subconscious mind although further research continues in the field. How scientists explain one sending ...

Explain the difference between multiple independent variables and multiple levels of independent variables. Which is better?

It is important to note that design experiment requires researchers to decide on the type of dependent variable that they should use in their respective study and distinguish the same from the independent variables. However, every research ought to have a single dependent variable, but the independent variables can be many, an aspect that makes the independent variables be considered as parameters. Therefore, for our case, multiple independent variables indicate the use of many parameters in conducting a study. For example, if we take a survey to find the extent of obesity in a given area, and take the ...

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi ...

Research Question: What should be done about abortion?
Thesis Statement: Abortion is impermissible except when performed to save, not to take, life.
I. Abortion as a Utilitarianistic Act
Mothers who opted for abortion often base their decisions on factors that are favorable to them personally, making their utilitarianist philosophy essentially egoistic. Thus, a mother who opted to perform an abortion is essentially an egoistic utilitarianist.
Consequently, utilitarianism suffers from the problem of failing to respect the separateness of persons; that is, that of the mother and that of the unborn child (Jacobson 168). ...

Greenhouse effect and global warming

Greenhouse effect refers to the increase of temperature of the earth’s surface and its immediate surrounding caused by a “blanket” effect of gasses that trap heat radiation (Ganesh, 2011). The greenhouse gasses decrease the frequency at which the surface of the earth reemits infrared radiations into the atmosphere. This leads to a relatively slower rate of energy loss to the immediate surrounding causing the surface of the earth together with the lower atmosphere relatively warmer than they should be.
There are two main causes of the greenhouse effect:”natural” and “man-made” greenhouse effects. The natural greenhouse effect is due ...
