... up. The greater the number of substitutes and the closer they are, the more people will be able to switch, and so the bigger the substitution effect will be of any price rise. Another determinant is the proportion of income spent on the good.

This is the reason salt has a very low price elasticity of demand.

... a school full of students wearing the same clothes and hairstyles helps build an attachment within the class. Students that wear many different styles of clothes all come together wearing similar pants, shirts, ties, and shoes. A required dress code and hair restrictions, helps everyone to be more comfortable by wearing similar clothes, otherwise, people may feel different with less cool clothes. Hairstyles help ease this integration as well by giving each person similar styles making everyone feel more at ease. The overall unity helps the students realize that although people may look similar, the idea that everyone will be greatly different. These different ...

... young men are terrible. Some even consider it lucky if you die. For example, Remarque made it very clear that he was aware of the pains men were forced to endure when he put Paul and Albert Kropp in the hospital. Paul was going on leave and asked Albert if there was anything that he could get for him and Kropp said, "A gun." Paul showed his disapproval of this idea and Albert said something to the degree of I would rather die then live without a leg. Another example was when Kat was wounded by the bomb that went off while he was delivering supplies to the men on the front. Kat could not even walk. Then while Paul was taking him back to the First Aid center ...

... of severe and paralysing panic attacks. In the early stages of agoraphobia people suffer recurring panic attacks when in certain public places or situations. These attacks cause the person to feel generally uncomfortable in public settings. Eventually, fear of the recurrence of the panic attacks results in an obvious reluctance or refusal to enter all situations associated with the attacks. Other consequences of agoraphobia may include fear of being alone, fear of being in places where escape might be difficult, feelings of helplessness, dependence on others and depression. These consequences place many serious restrictions on a person with this disorder. Agoraph ...

... to select the right message to transmit and then aim it at the right receiver in the market. What sounds obvious now was in fact not recognized in the 19th century. Advertising was a print medium at first, and primarily followed the basic rules of decorum and factual reporting of the journalism of the day. Thus, a Sears And Roebuck catalogue from the 19th century offered Underwear For Fat Men with a line drawing a hefty, older fellow with a distended belly trying on a pair of longjohns (Sears & Roebuck, 1879, p. 6). In addition to such straightforward advertising, there were rules which limited the effectiveness of print advertising as a visual medium in many v ...

... fruit and vegetable fields. Hard work and little pay was the common denominator of their American experience; many were the subjects of racial prejudice and even mob violence. Despite discriminatory legislation aimed at them, by joining together in labour unions and other cooperative ventures Filipinos were able to improve their standing in America and promise a better future for their children. In recent decades, the Filipino- American community has been energised by a new type of immigrant, well-educated professionals--doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and engineers--whose numbers have made Filipino-Americans the second fastest growing immigrant group in t ...

... and how he sees his own life. Sure America is the land of oppurtunity. But not everyone has the same oppurtunity as others. A person living in the Ghetto seems to have less of it than a person living in a rich neigborhood. A young boy could be at the top of his life. He is ready to conquer the world. He is ready to go to west point to study to be the best soldier in the world. When his physical come back they tell him he has a weak heart. He then finds out he got it from his father. It is nice to believe that a five foot hudred and fifty five pound boy could play in the NBA. But his chance are slim to none. Michael Jordans son has a better cance than make ...

... two different civilizations and probably due to the difference of time. There are about ten major differences between the two counties.

The rich also didn't want to spend the money on the child's education and would be very selfish. Girls stayed home to cook, weave, do art, and to learn to run the house because of the male dominated culture. Only the boys went to school, and at first the rich boys only went to school. Only men learned to read and write. All schools were private schools and family's would have ...

... Labor Debate” discusses both the pros and cons of immigrants, both legal and illegal alike, taking jobs of their own in a country where they might not be welcome. I believe that the immigrants are not necessarily taking jobs away from the American worker. Those occupations that the immigrants possess are truly illegal for any employer to employ any American. The job sights include unsanitary conditions, dangerous equipment use without proper safety precautions, extremely long working days, and less than minimum wage for average pay. There is not one citizen in this country that would stand for such an outrageous environment to work in. Many would go ...
