Keynesian Theory And The New Deal
.... other
organizations devoted to forming jobs and in turn helping the economy.
One of those organizations was the Civilian Conservation Corps. This
corps took men off the streets and paid them to plant forests and
drain swamps. Another of these organizations was the Public Works
Administration. This organization employed men to build highways and
public buildings. These were only some of the organizations dedicated
to creating jobs. Creating jobs was important because it put money in
the hands of the consumer. This directly affected the supply and
deman .....

Landscape Architecture As A Career
.... of utilities, make drawings which outline
the work in detail, and draw up lists of materials to be used. They then
invite bids from construction companies and landscape nursery companies.
With the awarding of the contracts, their work may be finished, or they
may stay on to supervise the work as their client’s representative (151).
A major branch of landscape architecture, golf course architecture,
integrates the skills of a landscape architect on a larger scale. The aim
a golf course architect is to create a truly great golf course by
utilizing to the fullest extent possible the potential of a promising
piece of land (G .....

Marxism And Economic Theory
.... how the English
organizations (the Crown and the Parliament) effectively obtained,
amassed and managed resources. Samuel Huntington's, "Institutional
Theory", will argue that the existing government at that time was
unable to incorporate the demands and personnel that the socio-economic
changes created.
Marxism was formulated in the 19th century. Carl Marx and his
associate Frederick Engels observed the socio-economic changes that
were transpiring in Britain. England was the dominant world power
and had the largest industrialized economy during the 1800's. The

Monetary And Fiscal Policy
.... The tool known as open market operations influences money and
credit operations by buying and selling of government securities on
the open market. This is used to control overall money supply. If
the Fed believes there is not enough money in circulation, then
they will buy the securities from member banks. If the Fed believes
there is too much money in the economy, they will sell the
securities back to the banks. Because it is easier to make gradual
changes in the supply of money, open market operations are use
more regularly than monetary policy.
When member banks want to raise money, .....

The Importance Of Mining Industry
.... way, on the mining industry. The mining industry will continue to
be an important support to the economy.
Mining is taking full advantage of the quick expansion of computers and
microelectronics. These technologies are found in nearly every aspect of
mineral development activity - from exploration methods, through production,
mineral processing and even marketing. Computers and related equipment now
have a lot of different applications in geophysical logging, geochemistry,
geological mapping and surface contouring5. At the mine planning stage,
the job of designing a mine is now greatly simplified by automation.

Why Do All Modern Cars Look Alike?
.... share of that part of the market, which has
grown considerably the last decade have taken almost desperate measures.
They have simply bought the rights to re-badge the Isuzu Rodeo as the
Honda Passport and marketed it as an all new model.
The last and maybe the most logical reason is that all manufacturers are
striving towards 'the perfect car'. All cars are supposed to offer a
maximum of performance, passenger room and cargo space, and a minimum of
fuel consumption and cost to manufacture and maintain. There are only so
many ways to technically achieve these goals. Cars tend to get more
rounded edges in order to be more aerodyna .....

Time For More On The CD
.... since it reduces their income but also because it sends out the
wrong signals to people. It gives the impression that the product is worth
less and that the customers have been charged too much before. And if the
price can drop by ten per cent this year people might expect it to drop
another ten per cent next year.
A better settlement could be enhancing the product and giving people
more for their money. Thanks to modern technology there can be so much
more included on a CD than just music. A computer with a CD-ROM drive,
which is becoming quite common, allows us to read several different kinds
of information off a CD. A shor .....

The Use Of Merit Pay And Incentives
.... be eliminated from the
program. Maintaining that average is our motivator. Attaining the certificate
of graduation is our incentive. In psychology, at its most basic, a motivator is
that which impels or compels an individual to act toward meeting a need. On a
physiological level, thirst, hunger and sex are motivators or drives. They are
basic needs which must be met.
Relating this to a hospital environment, it is not base compensation which
drives the employee, but what the base compensation can satisfy in a higher
level of needs. Money can't buy love, but it can buy some security such as
insurance benefits. After bas .....

Efficient Market Theory: A Contradiction Of Terms
.... information, sales of stocks and bonds will not
depress prices, and companies cannot "cook the books" to artificially
manipulate stock and bond prices. However, information technology and
market dynamics are based upon the workings of ordinary people and diverse
organizations, neither of which are arguably efficient nor consistent.
Therefore, we have the basic contradiction of EMT: How can a theory based
on objective mechanical efficiency hold up when applied to subjective human
inefficiency?
As a case in point, America Online (AOL) offers a classic example of how
investors can be misled by a company that uses the market .....

Monopoly Of The Postal Service
.... Intro).
Even with this added revenue the Postal Service was still greatly
under funded on its own (#1, Intro). During this time it was
discussed to privatize the postal service and introduce competition
because of the extreme losses that the service was experiencing. A
positive argument for privatizing the Postal Service was with
numerous competitors in the market there would be more
efficiency and the public would receive lower prices. But this
would also increase the usage of resources, for example airplanes and
cars. One of the problems the Post Office had was its receipts from
consumer purchases that we .....

Unions

retaining buyers (new members). Recently, one of the major problems faced
by the union movement is that few Canadians understand what services unions
come into public."3 The public also don't know the union is also helping
Canada in other parts of areas such as economy, etc. The public think that
the only time unions come into the public's eye is as a result of strike or
withdrawal of services. This is because of the impressed strikes held by
the union workers. The memorable one would be the strike held by the
Toronto Transit Commission workers back in September 1991. The lack of
transportation resulted in inc .....

Confucian Values And Japan's Industrialization
.... placement of the group over the individual and strong belief in filial
piety also caused families and local communities to accept social responsibility
for members of their community. This safety net that was provided by communities
and families allowed the government to limit it's spending on social welfare
programs and thus channel more funds into infrastructure and industry.
Confucianism also placed an emphasis on self-cultivation which has helped East
Asian Countries to have a skilled and ambitious work force. The tradition of
self-cultivation like the work ethic that Max Weber credited Protestantism of
producing lead people .....
