Essays on Scarce

Any person with knowledge of sales and marketing can quickly point out the anomalous growth curve of Snapple from the year 1994 when it attained its peak growth throughout to the year 1996 when the company’s growth was drastically on the decline. It is evident that the different strategies employed by various managements along the company’s lifespan had tremendous effects on the overall growth and performance of the enterprise. Snapple, as it stands out, has not only lost a huge section of its market segment but also lost its first reputation as the preferred brand. The company’ ...

The conflict.

The conflict in question took place at a used books store where I purchased a book a week earlier. I usually look through all the pages really quickly before buying but this time I made a mistake of not doing that; after I brought the book home I did not touch it for a week, and when I finally opened it I found that almost half of the pages were covered in ink and it was unreadable. I tried to return the book or exchange it for another one but had a hard time explaining the situation to the ...

With many discoveries yet to come, astronomers are still working hard to further their knowledge on exoplanets that could be around the universe. However, there is a feeling of our world being extraordinary and exceptional. The idea of exceptionalism has been common in the history of America. The nation has been deemed exclusive in various aspects of the world. Economically, militarily, and socially, America has often led by example and diligently. Many other countries also recognize that America still plays a critical role in global leadership thus earning the exceptional perception. There remain the bad and good sides of ...

Markets work as the most efficient way to allocate scarce resources for which there are alternative uses. This is the theme carried through Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics. And this is the point that Becker and Elias offer in their Wall Street Journal article. They make the case that people are literally dying from a lack of organs that they need to survive. And they make the point that it is especially true in the case of kidneys. Live donors can survive perfectly well with one kidney. Such donations are becoming common, but usually among family ...

Domestic disputes

Domestic violence is a gender related crime that has been occurring for a significant period of time, but is one that has a short record. Much of the criminal jurisprudence in the United States defines this behavior as abuse against the wives or against intimate partners. American criminal codices that list down the action as a specific crime rather than lump it together within the general crime of assault define it as “family” or “domestic” violence (Erez, 2002). Texas law has identified three distinct acts of domestic violence: “domestic assault,” “aggravated domestic assault,” and “continuous violence against the ...

YOURSCHOOLHERE “How long can a human being survive without water?” That seems like a simple question. Packer (2002) points out that this seemingly simple question is not simple at all. Various factors mean that the answer can be anywhere from a few hours to several days. Regardless, though, one thing is clear. Water is necessary for life. The Earth (capital “E” for our home world) is unique in the solar system with its vast supply of liquid water (Blue Planet, n.d.). Since a human body is 60% water, this is obviously a substance of some importance (The Water In ...

Abstract Sexual aversion disorder is characterized by the presence of aversion and avoidance of making a genital contact with sexual partners. In the DSM-IV-TR, the characterization of the problem was extended by the inclusion of some of the features of phobias such as anxiety, fear, and disgust; thereby describing it as a phobia. However, the disorder was deleted during transition from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5, probably due to the presence of scarce studies on the topic. Sexual aversion disorder is commonly found in women as compared to men, and it is commonly found in women in the ...

Definition

Opportunity cost is the choice of the alternative good or services against the other based on cost and benefit. There is always a trade-off in opportunity cost as resources are limited and they are used in various ways.

Examples

Suppose a person is thinking of riding a bus and not driving his own car. If he is riding the bus then he is travelling more cheaply but not as comfortably like his own car.

Conflict theorists view the society as an entity that is dynamic or an organization that is constantly undergoing change because of competition over scarce resources. The situation of scarce resources in the society creates social problems. The argument about the conflict perspective of social problems was heavily derived from Karl Marx’s ideas. According to Marx, the society is an entity that constantly undergoes change strongly motivated by class conflict. Class conflict is fueled largely by class interest. For a certain class to champion for its interest, it must struggle with another opposite class that has the same interest. ...

Introduction

Modern economies have multiple agents. A proper understanding of economic principles enables agents to work successfully in their endeavors. Mankiw (2015) describes economic principles which will be used in this paper to answer specific questions.

How economists are both scientists and policymakers and what principles society uses to allocate its scarce resources

Scientists develop different hypotheses and models to explain world phenomena. Likewise, economists attempt to create models which describe reality and, more significantly, use those to make predictions that guides people, businesses, and governments (Mankiw, 2015). Since economists can hardly use a laboratory as in a physical experiment – although there has been mock economic experimentation – they usually refer to the natural experiments offered by history ( ...

Informative Speech

The guest of honor, other distinguished guests that have graced this occasion, ladies, and gentlemen, all protocols observed, water is one of the most precious natural commodities that we must always pride ourselves. Even though this product covers more than seventy percent of the planet, thinking that it will forever remain a fallacy (WWF, par. 1). The only available fresh water for human consumption accounts for three percent of the total available water. There are however concerns regarding the rate at which these water sources are disappearing with current information indicating that water systems like rivers, aquifers and lakes ...

Background

Wound healing is one of the most important processes in maintaining the health of a person. Multiple factors affect wound healing in humans regardless of age. A partial list includes diabetes, hereditary healing disorders, obesity, drugs, alcoholism, smoking and compromised immune condition. Infection, stress, nutrition, and radiation therapy can also contribute to delayed or incomplete wound healing (Guo & DiPietro, 2010). In the start of a wound, an inflammatory response is initiated. Blood vessels expand, helping white blood cells and nutrients to reach the wound. Wound healing is achieved through the processes of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Proper sequence ...

Abstract

In most economies, the resources are scarce and limited which calls for proper planning and allocation of the limited resources. Economic operations of a particular region are represented in the circular flow of income, whereby various sectors of the economy are represented. In the flow, all the players have their specific roles to enhance the optimization of the resources available. As enterprises and firms are going global, there are benefits and costs associated with the move, which calls for planners and economists in the enterprises undertaking the move to analyze the world market consciously. In this article, various economics ...

From the Figure 1 it is seen that the global average temperature, which combines the surface and ocean temperature have been on the rise and have reached the highest levels in the ...

Global issue: Food insecurity

Today, the world suffers from numerous issues; from the security of life and property to the security of food and water. With the gradual but persistent rise in global temperatures, food and water resources in certain parts of the world are getting scarce and hard to conserve. This is problematic as with the passage of time; these resources are bound to get scarcer and lesser in amount. Moreover, poverty is another factor which makes it difficult for masses to get hold of nutritious and abundant food resources. When the factors of money and lack of resources are combined together, ...

Introduction

No doubts, materials, and material engineering have remarkably advanced the world in unimaginable ways. One would wonder what the 21st-century world would have been without high tensile strength materials, the state of the art technologies employed in the construction of airplanes, ships, and cars, technologies in the construction of bridges structures, top notch houses, and towers, to mention a few. Nonetheless, these innovative technologies also bring alongside some concerns. This study evaluates these concerns as they relate to material engineering.

Introduction

For many years, financial crises have been pervasive. According to Collardi (2012), the frequency of occurrence of financial crises in the recent decades has doubled the occurrence during the Bretton Woods Period and the Gold Standard Era. Nevertheless, the occurrence of the 2007-2008 financial crisis came as a great surprise to many individuals. Initially, the crisis was seen as difficulties that were being experienced in the United States subprime mortgage market. This, however, spilled rapidly to the financial markets before spilling over to the real economy. This paper discusses the causes of the financial crisis and the measures that ...
