- 301: Define And Explain The Concept
- ... effect and the more elastic the demand will be. This is the reason salt has a very low price elasticity of demand. We spend such a small proportion of income on salt that a relatively big percentage increase in the price of salt is borne by us without too much difficulty, so the income effect would be pretty small. One other determinant of price elasticity of demand is the time period ... a ticket would not seriously affect the number of people travelling by train in the United Kingdom. This is because only a very small proportion of our income is spent on train tickets, so a big percentage rise in the cost of a ticket is borne by us without too much difficulty. However, as the road network of the United Kingdom cover a vaster expanse of land than the rail network ... investment. A coach may not be suitable for daily journey s to work, but may be better suited to long, occasional journey s like visits to museums. The relatively little fare may not seem to big a burden on your finances. However, when looked at in a group, you may fond that rail transport is more expensive than collectively hiring a coach and going to your destinations in that. In ...
- 302: Effects of Advertisements
- Effects of Advertisement Advertisement is a big part of our lives. Every day the average person sees and processes around fifteen hundred advertisements, such as those on TV and print ads, or billboards. Do these advertisements have any effect upon us? If ... learn about violence and use of drugs from TV and movies. I think to put an opposing view of violence and drugs on TV, using commercials is a very good idea. It makes a very big difference because teens do listen to what other teens have to say, and often, these ads feature teenagers. Another example of a good advertisement would be the commercials for milk. No particular companies, just good ... while they watch commercials for new toys or video games they can’t afford. This brings people’s self-esteem down. They feel unhappy because they are unable to provide these luxuries. Advertisement is a big part of our lives and we, like little boats in a big ocean sailing around try to find the safe harbor of truth. I think advertisement is very important because it helps people to ...
- 303: The French and Indian War
- ... the Ohio and Mississippi River valley regions which led to conflict over who should get control over it. The wars going on in Europe also fueled the French and Indian War because there was a big rivalry between France and Great Britain there as well. There were also British and French clashes at Fort Duquesne, one of the prominent Ohio River valley forts. Whoever had control over fort Duquesne had a ... strategic advantages over the British. The French had less land to defend. They had one government, which was probably their biggest advantage because it was easier to plan attacks and battles. The French had another big advantage, which was having all their forts, and settlements very close together which made them stronger. The French simply had more fortifications than the British. The French didn’t have a very good army in ... in the world in France. Unfortunately the army in France could not be transported to North America because the British controlled the Atlantic Ocean. The French had the Indians as allies which was a very big help to them because the Indians taught the French about guerilla warfare and they knew the land well. The French only had about seventy-five thousand people, which wasn’t too helpful. The only ...
- 304: Woodstock
- ... attitude and lifestyle. Most of the people at Woodstock were not hippies in the commonly accepted sense: a good half of them, at least, were high school or college students from middle class homes ("The Big Woodstock, 33"). But at Woodstock they exhibited to the world many of the hippie values and life styles, from psychedelic clothing to spontaneous, unashamed nudity to open and casual sex, and also illicit drugs. Youthful ... gates and fences. Many people got into the festival for free because of the rain. During the festival, many people would also go skinny-dipping in a farm pond to get the mud off ("The Big Woodstock, 21"). The rain and mud helped add a peaceful touch to the festival. Woodstock has become a major symbol of the 1960s. It has become a historic symbol with different meanings to thousands of ... came together. "There are a hell of a lot of us here. If we are going to make it, you had better remember that the guy next to you is your brother." Everybody remembered ("The Big Woodstock, 1"). There were no rapes, no assaults, no robberies and, as far as anyone can recall, not one single fight. This yearning for togetherness was demonstrated in countless major and minor ways. People ...

- 306: A Young Hero
- ... behind him in the corridor. Without hesitating, and with a silent creak he opened a door not far from where he was standing, and entered the room. Within seconds, he had taken cover behind a big plant located on the right hand of the door. If one of the guards came into the room, he could get lucky and he would not find him. A small window was not far from where Gregory was hiding. From here he had a good view over the parking lot and the barracks. Just below the window there was a big officer shouting: "Someone will get shot for this! 'Der Fuhrer' will not be pleased." The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer each second. A drop of perspiration found it's way down the ... the door was opened and the muzzle of a gun appeared, followed by a guard who stepped into the room. Gregory's respiratory system stopped, and he kept as quiet as possible. The guard was big and had a strong built body that went well with the tight-fitting pants and the rest of the uniform. Gregory could not avoid noticing a deep scar stretching from the top of his ...

- 308: The Evolution of the PC and Microsoft
- ... when Apple, a company formed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, released itąs Apple II. Now the nerds were satisfied, but that wasnąt enough. In order to catapult the PC in to a big-time product, Apple needed to make it marketable to the average Joe. This was made possible by Visical, the home spread sheet. The Apple II was now a true-blue product. In order to compete ... two major contenders for IBM. The other was a man named Gary Kildall. IBM came to Kildall first, but he turned them away (He has yet to stop kicking himself) and so they turned to Big Bad Bill Gates and Microsoft. Microsoft would continue supplying IBM with software until IBM insisted Microsoft develop Q/DOS, which was compatible only with IBM equipment. Microsoft was also engineering Windows, their own separate software ... beginning the incredible success of Microsoft. With all of these clones, Apple was in dire need of something new and spectacular. So when Steve Jobs got invited to Xerox to check out some new systems (big mistake), he began drooling profusely. There he saw the GUI (graphical user interface), and immediately fell in love. SO, naturally, Xerox invited him back a second time (BBBBIIIIGGGG mistake) and he was allowed to ...
- 309: Is Government Dominated by Business
- ... by the first amendment of the Constitution. In that way, special interest groups are good. The point that disgusts many people is that more often then not money overpowers the right decision; that is why Big Business is a problem. The richer the companies and organizations, the better chance they have to persuade the government officials. In the United States alone there are thousands of special interest groups working for their ... allowed to cut down as many trees as they do. These two groups confer with senators at the state and national level trying to persuade them to their side. However, the loggers' unions join the big companies to protect their jobs. This is a very steep obstacle for the "Tree Huggers" to overcome. The lumber industry wins due to the money they have at their disposal. Political Action Committees are other ... money being spent by one of the largest tobacco companies can be attributed to the governments recent threats made against the industry. Philip Morris is obviously trying to coheres anyone into believing in their case. Big Business seems to have dramatically impacted the political system of this country. The United States is a country of equality and freedom of speech. These lobbying groups hurt the integrity of what this country ...
- 310: European Union
- ... the European Union should be among the winners, as the price of many foods could fall in the coming years. Spain, Greece, Portugal and France did quite nicely, defending their share of EU subsidies. The big loser is Germany. The host government tried to get its EU payments reduced by 3bn euros, but for the talks to succeed the Germans had to settle for a cut of just 700m euros. Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands are the other big contributors to the EU's coffers and they did not achieve the big cuts they hoped for either. Italy could soon become one of the big spenders. In two years new rules for calculating each country's budget share will sharply drive up the size of Italy' ...
