...known all over the world. I have learned over the years role-models have a positive effect, and some have a negative effect, and some have a positive and negative effect on people’s lives. Cam Newton, a pro football player he is a positive role- model. Pro athletes are usually positive role-models. Cam Newton give back to the community and he goes to the hospitals and visit the sick and he does a lot of charity work, and he helps raise money to help find cures for diseases. Cam Newton does a lot of positive things, that’s what makes him a positive role-model. Drug dealers are negative role-models. They sell drugs to whoever wants to buy them; it doesn’t matter if you are an adult or a kid. Drug dealers are just after the money, they will kill you if they think you are trying to play them, they will rob you and some people still want to be like them because they love money, but the love of money is the root of evil. The president, Barack Obama has a positive and negative affect on people’s lives. Barack Obama is our first black president and a lot of people don’t like him because he is black. I believe he won the election because all the black people who voted, they voted for him. It is a lot of people who are glad they lived to see a black man become president, and it was a couple of peopled who killed themselves when he became president. Barack Obama is an example, we as black people can do whatever we want to do in this...

...The Black Death There are many things that we overlooked as kids when studying the Black Death, and one of them is how religion, economics, and labor made the disease effect even more twisted by showing a horror side to human nature. The Black Death was a disease that killed majority of the citizens in Europe, and originally travelled there by a parasite riding on the backs of rats from Asia on sea merchant ships. The people of that time had different theories of how it came to Europe, however, they never thought the carriers being the rats. The theories that the people came up were: It being the wrath of God, infection of the air and waters, and blaming the Jews for polluting their waters. To help break the mold that we’ve been taught as kids, this essay will go into the economics, labor, and religion aspects that the Black Death...

Professor Arun Kumar in his Lecture titled “The Economy of Black Money” debated and informed about various causes and its ill effects. Black money is only a tiny part of black economy. Arguably the entire elite class is involved in some kind of black money exchange. With corporates and government working in tandem for their own good, decision are made on the basis of black money paid compromising National Security. About 4 lakh crore goes out of India every year to about 77 tax havens making the Indian economy weaker. This is called flight of capital or drain of wealth. Only about 3% of Indian population is involved in black money laundering. Various studies have shown that black economy has grown over the years with stock markets, mining and oaring and now of recent the service industry is key contributors to black economy. Such huge amount of black money laundering can only be successful by a system. This system is theorised as a Triad that is formed chiefly by three things. Corrupt business class, corrupt bureaucracy and corrupt middle men working in nexus with criminals. Here the problem is not narrowly technical. Honesty is imperative. So then what can be done about this? The lecture pointed out some steps that can be taken to reduce black economy if not stop it....

...price is set above the equilibrium market price, the price ceiling will not be binding. In the case of non-binding price ceiling, the quantity of supply is larger than the quantity of demand for bread. That can reduce the negative effects that can happen. Consumers will not have to wait for long line to get bread which can save their time and go back to work to make money. In this case, price ceiling prevents the black market that can sell the products in the very high price. The cost that the consumers have to pay is just the price of bread they purchase, let assume that it is one dollar. However, in the other case, binding price- ceiling, government actions can lead to many negative effects on the consumers. First of all, the shortage of bread may occur since many people now are able to buy breads- the quantity of demand is higher than the quantity of supply. Thus, it will cause the long line waiting to purchase breads. Consumers are now wasting their time, which is their first opportunity cost. Before the price ceiling, consumers may just have to wait for few minute, but now, they may lose their one valuable hour.

...Bobby Thrush-Louis AMH2020 Depression and New Deal Minorities 4/14/15 At the end of the 1920s, the United States was the largest economy in the world. With the destruction brought by World War I, Europeans struggled while Americans flourished. Then, in the flash of darkness, everything went downfall. The stock market crash of 1929 was a snowball effect that put us into the worst crisis in history. But then, President Franklin D. Roosevelt sparked an idea, the New Deal, it was the set of federal programs launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt after taking office in 1933, in response to the calamity of the Great Depression. The new deal had four major goals and achievements: Job creation, investment in public works, civic uplift, and obviously economic recovery. The new deal stabilized banks and all the financial mess from the stock market crash. One in four Americans, were out of work by 1933. The new deal created agencies that would aid jobs to millions of people and this also organized the rights for workers to organize unions. The New Deal built transportation landmarks and public landmarks that would help to bring back America. There was more positives than anything in the new deal; in addition, the new deal improved the lives of ordinary people and reshaped the public outlook. New Dealers and the men and women who worked on New Deal programs believed they were not only serving their families and communities...

...grow into a major aspect of the modern African American culture, the studies intend to distinguish the mass outlook of black people in America. It is incredible that this single genre of music has transformed into a vital communication mechanism for an entire race and may even become larger in future generations of African American people. The other races, in America, have gotten an idea of African Americans through the controversial rap music in which black people use to communicate with each other, and outsiders; the non-blacks. The study revolves mainly around the attitudes which have deemed as common in the black culture; rap music has always been open for interpretation which can lead to danger. The music has become so popular and influential to the youth that many crimes have been linked to the music which fuels an efficient form controversy in America. Do people receive the negative aspects of rap more than the positive aspects? If so, then why? Also, why are the positive approaches of hip hop not made commercial rather than the sex, drugs, and violence? There is belief that the music has a great influence on how the other races in America view the black culture. It is not certain whether rap music is more negative than positive, but it is obviously a notorious topic for many reasons, no matter the race. The studies propose that the behavior of blacks in America is greatly influenced by hip hop music that can easily be perceived in forms of criminal activity, sex, greed...

ABSTRACT Real options analysis can be used by investors to determine the value of potential investments that offer an owner the right but not the obligation to exercise a strategic decision at a predetermined time and price. Tools which are popular for valuing financial options, such as Black Scholes analysis, can be used to determine the value of real options. However, Black Scholes analysis has been criticized for its unintuitive approach to real options and also for its difficulty in determining the volatility of an investment. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not a second order moment approach can...

...Frito Bellevue English 101 Mr.Maslonka Theory of stereotyping Stereotyping is a form of pre judgment that is as prevalent in today's society as it was 2000 years ago. It is a social attitude that has stood the test of time and received much attention by social psychologists and philosophers alike. Many approaches to, or theories of stereotyping have thus been raised. This essay evaluates the cognitive approach that categorization is an essential cognitive process that inevitably leads to stereotyping. Hamilton (1979) calls this a 'depressing dilemma'. Brown's (1995) definition of stereotyping through prejudice is the 'holding of derogatory social attitudes or cognitive beliefs, the expression of negative affect, or the display of hostile or discriminatory behavior towards members of a group on account of their membership to that group'. This definition implies that stereotyping is primarily a group process, through the individuals psyche's within that group. A further idea of stereotyping, defined by Allport (1954) as 'thinking ill of others without warrant', is that people 'make their mind up' without any personal experience. This pre judgment about a whole group is then transferred to the stigmatization of any individuals in that group. It is these ideas that the essay aims to evaluate, through the cognitive process of categorization and the above definitions that bring about three distinct features of stereotyping...

...would be more than the money received. (www.sahistory.org.za) In order to answer this key question, information relating the following questions has been researched: What were the implications of the Abolition? Was the affect positive or negative from the traders and slave point of view? What impact did the end of the external slave trade have on the cape slaves and was it positive or negative? The abolition of slavery and the freedom of slaves caused a lot of hatred from the Cape settlers towards the anti-slave traders. Even before the freedom of slaves there were cases of missionary intervention on behalf of black workers who were being mistreated, they sometimes won convictions against farmers and therefore made them enemies of the Afrikaner farming community in the Cape. This shows that there were people who were against the slave trade and the use of free people as slaves and they did what they could to help prevent the abuse of slaves. This ultimately led to the abolition of slavery. (www.sashistory.org.za) The abolition of slavery by the British Government was one of the reasons for the Great Trek, which would lead to the migration of many white, Dutch-speaking farmers away from the Cape after 1833. This lead to many problems- the farmers complained that they could not replace the labour their slaves did without losing a large amount of money. Unfortunately the abolition of slavery did not change the colonial “slave-master” view between black and white individuals. Rather...
