- 15721: Consumers Purchasing on Credit
- Consumers Purchasing on Credit The reasons we as Americans buy on credit varies, but without it most of us would probably never be able to purchase necessities such as a home or automobile.

- 15722: Conflicting Goals in Economic Growth
- Conflicting Goals in Economic Growth Goals of monetary policy are to "promote maximum employment, inflation (stabilizing prices), and economic growth." If economists believe it's possible to achieve all the goals at once, the goals are inconsistent. There are limitations to monetary policy. The term "maximum employment" means that we should try to hold the unemployment rate as low as ... higher and higher inflation, while ultimately failing to produce lower average unemployment. Therefore, most economists would argue that there are no long-term gains from consistently pursuing expansionary policies. Monetary policy can determine the economy's average rate of inflation in the long run. And that's important for the economy, because high inflation can hinder economic growth. For example, when inflation is high, it also tends to vary a lot, and that makes people uncertain about what inflation will be ...

- 15725: Managers of Organizations
- ... about what changes they wish, this assumption about resistance may wither away due to the usefulness of their change ideas (Kanter 204). A second incorrect assumption is that the planning of a change in one's department or organization can be kept separate from the implementation of that change (Weatherley & Lipsky 283). Managers often assume that the planning of an organizational change is best done by upper echelons of management while ... a change is best performed by lower echelons. Many managers have learned the painful lesson that those who implement change, i.e., lower echelons, often have sufficient resistive power to block the best of management's planned changes. This is especially true if the change does not meet their (perceived) self- interests or if it upsets the work equilibrium they established over years in their work habitat (Weatherly & Lipsky 374). Managers ... the planning phase (Patti & Resnick 56). The belief that a change process can be managed effectively, regardless of the organizational context of that change, is a third erroneous (Snyder 164-176). For example, an organization's recent history includes many changes and workers and management are overloaded. Consequently, no matter how important the new change may be to all concerned, they will be reluctant to support it. If there is ...

- 15729: Money Laundering
- Money Laundering The word money laundering, according to the myth, is derived from Al Capone's practice of using a string of coin-operated launderettes in Chicago to disguise his revenues from gambling, prostitution and protection rackets. It's a nice story but not true, money laundering is so called because it perfectly describes the process of removing the stains and smells which money acquires when criminals earn it. In this report I will ... in return for a fee. Another scenario is for the money launderer to approach a business and ask them to set up transactions in which a sum of money is regularly deposited in the company's account.

Although this method is very popular amongst the criminal underworld, there are other ways of laundering money ...
- 15730: The Immortal Harley Rider
- The Immortal Harley Rider The wind blew the strands of my long brown hair like streamers behind me as I let the Harley Davidsons V-Twin motor unwind. It plastered my beard to my face and whipped the skin of my cheeks. My black T-shirt flapped in the summer breeze behind me and clung to my front like wet cloth. The roar of the wind passing between my helmet and ears almost drowned the throaty rumble of the 41 Knuckleheads engine from my awareness. Tears streamed back from my stinging eyes as the gale penetrated between my face and dark sunglasses. My twenty-two year old body vibrated with youthful exhilaration to be in ...
