Women of Dreams
The question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is often asked by teachers, parents, friends, and family addressing younger children. It would seem that most Americans have within them the sense that dreams do have the potential to become reality. People often choose to see the “bright futures” of children in order to reassure them they can be anything they want to be. It seems as though there are no barriers to reach a goal if enough hard work is applied. Does this truth transcend cultural divides? Do people of minority in the United States have the same hope about their futures as the majority does? Sandra Cisneros depicts the unique dreams of Mexican-American women despite cultural depression in her story The House on Mango Street.
The plot of The House on Mango Street symbolizes an immigrant family moving to the United States in hope of a future with more opportunities. It is a story about a girl by the name of Esperanza and the retelling of the events in her childhood. Esperanza faces many challenges growing up in an underdeveloped neighborhood of inne…

Quality, Safety, and Performance Improvement Project
Many times in hospitals, we can see inefficiencies, unsafe practices, or areas that can be improved to save time or money or add value. Often, we are simply waiting for a chance to share our ideas with someone. This project is your chance to highlight an area in need of improvement that you feel strongly about.
Week 1 Tasks
This week, you will identify an improvement issue for study in your final project throughout this course.
Cover the following:
• Identify a quality, safety, or performance improvement issue within a hospital to examine in your final project.
• Explain the selected issue by applying the six standards of quality healthcare measurement and achievement as set by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Describe how each of the six standards applies to the selected issue.
Be sure to support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples. Cite all sources using the APA format.

It started like any other day up on the hills of Rhein, but that day had the scent of freedom floating in the air. The journey ahead of me had been teasing me for weeks, I was just so anxious to get away and start all over again. I had made certain arrangements before I left, our family dog was not allowed on the ship that we were going to be arriving in America, so I had my parents take care of the dog for us. It was a hard thing to do seeing that the dog had become more than just a pet to the children and I, for we almost would recognize him as a family member. Most of our possessions we were able to keep with us, but we had to keep the load light since it was going to be a tight stay in the steerage. I wasn’t sure of what to expect in America, but my friend Niva had been writing me ever since she had arrived in America; begging me to witness the splendor of freedom given, and the different way of living. I was easy to be convinced into going because it seemed like nothing was really happening in my life, and I was desperate for a change.
The sea breezes were dancing around me as I waved goodbye to my ma and pa. Tears streamed down my face as I looked at what I was going to be leaving, it was my life and my past. Each of the children were given a photograph of the last time we were all together, including our dog Marcy and my ma and pa. Their small hands drifted in the breeze while waving goodbye to everything t…

In financial terms, Exchange Rates (ER) refer to the worth of two different currencies in regards to each other (Sullivan & Sheffrin, 2003), whereas the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to the net inflows of foreign investments. This is so if the investment is to acquire a lasting interest in terms of management where the enterprise that is operating in the specific economy in question is a different entity from the investor (Soltani, 2009).
In recent years there has been an increased understanding as to the forces of the concept and usage of economic globalization. This can only be implemented by the utilization of foreign direct investment by the multinational corporations. This is realized where and when a firm forms its base in one country but locates and or acquires its facilities for production in another country or countries. The realization of this could not have been at a greater time than now when there are conclusive reports that between 1986 through 1999, the GDP of the real world grew by at a rate of 2.5 percent annually whereas its export grew by 17.7 percent.

My research of Classical Economics and Keynesian Economics has given me the opportunity to form an opinion on this greatly debated topic in economics. After researching this topic in great lengths, I have determined the Keynesian Economics far exceeds greatness for America compared to that of Classical Economics. I will begin my paper by first addressing my understanding of both economic theories, I will then compare and contrast both theories, and end my paper with my opinions on why I believe Keynesian Economics is what is best for America.
Classical Economics is a theory that suggests by leaving the free market alone without human intervention; equilibrium will be obtained. This theory was the first school of thought for economists and one of the major theorists and founders of Classical Economics was Adam Smith. Smith stated, “By pursuing his own interest, he (man) frequently promotes that (good) of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I (Adam Smith) have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good.”(Patil) Classical Economic theory assumes three basic ideas: Flexible Prices, Shay’s Law, and Savings-Investment equality. Flexible prices in Classical theory suggests prices will rise and fall as needed but is not always true, due to, the interference of government agencies including unions and laws. Smith stated in the Wealth of the Nation (1776), “Civil government, so far it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.” (Patil) Shay’s Law implies supply creates its own demand and demand is not based on production or supply.

The last assumption is that savings will equal the investment which will lead to equilibrium; however, Classical theorist are realist and know this will not always happen, thus, they believe the flexible interest rates will help with the equilibrium.
Keynesian Economics was developed and founding by John Maynard Keynes. He believed and wrote in his book “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money” that it is essential for the Government to play a vital role in economic stability. Keynesian theorist believe Government spending, tax hikes or tax breaks are vital in economic success. Keynesian assumptions include: Rigid or Inflexible Prices, Effective Demand, and Savings-Investment Determinants. Rigid or Inflexible Prices suggest that wages increases are easier to take while wage decreases hits resistance; likewise, a producer will increase prices yet when needed will be reluctant to decrease prices. Effective Demand implies that only a portion of the household income will be used for consumption, leading the Keynesians theorist to believe that the effective demand can only be derived from the actual disposable income. Lastly, the Keynesian theorists believe savings and investments are based on one’s desire to save for the future and the expected profitability of the endeavor.
As stated above one can see there are great differences in Classical and Keynesian Economics. Classical Economic theorists believe the Government should have no role in the free market while Keynesians believe the Government is vital in maintaining equilibrium in the free market. Classical Economic theorists believe supply creates its own demand while Keynesians believe demand can only be derived from the actual disposable income. Another contrast between these two theories include: Classical Economic theorist believe flexible interest rates will help with the equilibrium of savings and investments, while, Keynesians believe equilibrium

of savings and investments can only be obtained with the will of the savor and the expected profitability of the endeavor. In “Economics in Crisis: Severe and Logical Contradictions of Classical, Keynesian, and Popular Trade Models” written by Ravi Batra it is reported that Classical Economics almost died until inflation became intolerable and the Keynesian Economics made an error causing the Classical Economics to easily be brought into the economy. (p.623-624)
This research has brought new light for me in how economics/politics is played in America. Looking at recent events with the American Government, I now have a better understanding of how and why economics is so important. Hearing the word deregulation throughout the 2008 Presidential election, I never quite understood what it meant; I now am gaining a better understanding. I believed in the Keynesian theory before I even knew it existed and now I can say I feel stronger about the Keynesian Economics and I recognize the importance of this kind of economics for America. In “The Relevance of Keynes”, Robert Skidelsky states, “the classical
theory of the self-regulating market rested on the epistemological claim that market participants have perfect information about future events. Grant this and the full employment assumption follows, deny it and it collapses. Keynes’ economy, on the other hand, is one in which our knowledge of the future is usually very slight and often negligible and expectations are frequently subject to disappointment.” (p. 3) I agree with this because even in my short life I have seen many natural things change the economy such as September 11th or the Tsunami in Japan. No one can predict the future and everyone must be prepared for the worse. The websites and articles I found were intriguing in that they mainly disagreed with the Keynesian Economic theory. McCoach even went as far as to use scare tactics including a quote from Adolf Hitler,

“Gold is not necessary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That’s the bastion of money” and later comparing Keynes and Hitler as having the same economics in the same sentence. (McCoach)
In “The Transition from the Classical to the Keynesian Perspective” written by Hukukane Nikaido, I found many different graphs which I have came to conclude is very important in an economic study. I found it hard to really understand the graphs but what I did gain from this article is that Keynesian Economics will continue because the graphs showed a great gain in Economic growth. I have further gained a greater appreciation for Keynesian theory for in this article Nikaido reports, “Keynes’s philosophy of the economic world should not be thought to be
confined to a depression economics. Moreover, it should be deeply impressed on our mind that this discordance applies in the short-run, but also in the long-run, contrariwise to the prevailing view of almost all economists. For a long-run analysis to ignore short-run aspects would be very fictional to the real economic world.” (542-543) My hope is America never has another economic catastrophe as we did in 1930’s and nearly again in 2000’s.

Social studies is a huge part of the elementary curriculum. Without social studies, elementary students would have a huge gap in their knowledge content. Economics is responsible for providing a large amount of information to students. For third graders, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction places economics under goal five. Goal five divides communities and the basic economic principles into seven objectives. The first objective for third grade economics asks for students to understand the definition of scarcity and be able to provide examples. In order to understand scarcity, students must first understand the difference between a want and a need. A want is something that you wish to possess but is not necessary for survival. Some examples of wants include a laptop, a new sofa, or a big-screen television. A need is something that you must have to live. Some examples of needs include water, shelter, and food. Scarcity deals with the fact that, as humans, we have an unlimited number of wants and needs. However, the earth’s resources are limited and that creates an …

What does the phrase marketing mix mean? What is the purpose of the marketing mix? The marketing mix is a process most organizations use to bring a product or service to market. The four Ps is a good way to define the marketing mix tool. The four Ps or four elements of the marketing mix are product, place, price, and promotion, which are used to satisfy consumers’ needs and the objectives of the organization. After a target market is selected, “…the firm must take steps to satisfy [the customers] needs” (Kerin, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2009 p. 13). The basic concept of the marketing mix is to focus on what customers want and to keep customers satisfied. Although the marketing mix is a unique way to market a product or service, satisfying the consumers’ needs and wants is every marketer’s main goal.
