...What is economics? What role does economics play in your personal and organizational decisions? Provide an example of the role of economics in decision making. Economics is the study of how human beings coordinate their wants and desires, given the decision-making mechanisms, social customs, and political realities of the society. In my personal like economics plays a good role in our finances. At the moment we deal with only one income and with it comes the decision making of food, clothing and bills. Things like how much is available for eating our verses cooking a hot meal at home. In regards to the organization I work for I have to say that with my pregnancy the decision making of taking days off is the example. If I don’t go into work I will be losing leave time from that day and with it some of my maternity leave, but some rest will be gained. In the other hand staying home may cause me more in electricity bills. It can be an economic gamble.

...and new technology. Some of the thing with the railroads like the miles of railroad they built from 1860 to 1900 it went from about 30,000 to about 190,000 miles (doc 2) of train track so they could move supplies from one side of the country to the other side so farmers could get there stuff to the big market. One other thing that the railroad help make possibly help make political parties and stuff like that making taxes off the railroads they would also work with some of the people that helped run the railroads. Immigration was a big part of the industrial boom with the people that it brought in to the country. It would help the nation in many different ways one of those ways is that they would get these immigrants as they would use these people of for cheap labor. This would also help with getting stuff made in these factories made it more possible for people to get cheap stuff and so everyone could get cheap stuff also they would be helped by the republicans with they helped support for more immigration. This would help give them easier ways to get into the country (doc 3). This will help the boom of immigrants become part of our industrial boom to grow on of the biggest industrial nation in the entire world.

...moments of ambiguity and some highlights in the film that indirectly give us a sense of ageism, sexism and cultural values. The directors craft helps tie these together in a way that is appealing to the audience and can be drawn back to David R. Shumways’ of that era. First I’d like to analyze my impression of the film. Before the film I knew of Bob Dylan, his music, his legacy. I was under the impression that Dylan fell into the category of mellow pot smokers or “stoners” of the midsixties who were heavily involved in politics and current events. Then having heard a few of his songs, I thought, “wow this guy really wants the best for our society”. With that in mind, I also believed Bob Dylans personality would be sort of gentle and affectionate. Dont Look Back pretty much challenged all point of views. Dylan gets into a lot of conflict throughout the film. There are several moments, when we are unsure if Dylan is being civil or argumentative with people. Although, we do get a glimpse at Bob Dylans sensitive side, we are preoccupied by his radical actions throughout the film. The introduction to the documentary, is a flashback into Bob Dylan's career, showing his origins as a singer for the homeless or basically anyone who couldn't afford to see him in concert. From the audiences standpoint, we are thinking about how much of a generous person, Bob Dylan seems to be. This flashback doesn't prepares us for the drastic changes in his personality throughout the film. I believe th...

...the internet. It is important that bloggers protect themselves from committing this crime. It is okay to use copyrighed material for certain purposes such as: teaching, research, and news reporting. However, one must use caution when posting pictures and text messages from other people in blogs. Using the work of others without permission is equivalent to stealing a photo album or journal from your next door neighbor. Just because you may not sell it to make a profit, does not benign the fact that the material was stolen. Bloggers must become educated about copyright infringement and fair use. When unsure whether they are committing copyright infringement, they should refrain from using copyrighted material. Although it is common knowledge that blogs are the opinions and points of view from various people, bloggers themselves should not deliberately spread false information. Furthermore, the opinions in blogs should always be easily identified, as well as the facts. Bloggers may not have the responsibilities of journalists, but they have the responsibility not to steal or mislead followers. Bloggers should have enough integrity to preserve the credibility in their discussions. If the topic that is being discussed contains false information, then the entire blog loses credibility. Bloggers may not be news reporters, but they must pride themselves in their ability to use the news and current events to spark educated and meaningful...

...many different types of drones in the marketing world. The most common ones have been used for military purposes. The US military has two types of drones. UAV’s, unmanned aerial vehicles, are used for high tech surveillance. UACV’s, unmanned aerial combat vehicles, are used for destroying targeted objects in war (Pugliese). There are many drones that can be mistaken for remote controlled helicopters as well. These are now issued to some police forces around the US in order to keep a closer eye on cities. Civilians are starting to demand the use of drones in many different areas. Farmers are asking for drones to watch their crops better, and to annihilate any crows that try to destroy them. Boarder patrol wants them for surveillance. This could help patrol the boarder between Mexico and the United States better. Newscasters want them to videotape footage that most reporters cannot get to very easily. Also police departments want to use them to keep an eye in the sky and watch out for crime in...

...Deviance? Defined as anything of violation of the norm. In the sociological perspective of functionalist, deviance is important for society to remain functional. For it contributes to the social order. Piracy is defined as an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The idea of categorizing the transgression of private rights in creative works as "piracy" predates statutory copyright law. The Sean Parker joined friend Shawn Fanning and started the file-sharing service Napster in 1999. Napster's popularity among music lovers quickly escalated. Within its first year, the service attracted tens of millions of users, but also became a target of the music industry, which saw the start-up as a huge threat to its business. Napster was opposed by recording labels, the Recording Industry Association of America, and the heavy metal band Metallica, among others. Lawsuits by various industry associations eventually shut down the service Napster has been called the fastest growing business of all time, is credited with revolutionizing the music industry, and is considered by some to be a precursor to iTunes. I can actually agree with what happened, as piracy is wrong. But I must stress that it was a needed action. Which resulted in all of these companies expanding their industry. Focusing the music, film industry into evolving. Expanding. Into the new era, the era of the internet. In February 2003, Dotcom set up another company called Data Protect Limited, but changed...

First, this note discusses the Copyright Act of 1976 and the fair use doctrine. ... Further, this note evaluates how the defendant used the fair use doctrine as an exception to copyright in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. ... The district court recognized that courts have included parody under the fair use doctrine. ... The district court found that the second factor, the nature of the copyrighted work, weighed against fair use and in favor of Acuff-Rose. ... Judge Joiner, writing for the majority, considered each of the factors in section 107 in determining that the derivative work was not fair use. ... The Supreme Court's Application of the Fair Use Doctrine in Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. v. Campbell ... He observed that the application of the fair use doctrine requires a case-by-case analysis, as opposed to "bright-line rules." Such an approach is necessary because section 107 does not define every type of creative work that a court may exempt under the fair use doctrine. ... However, the Court of Appeals read Sony as presuming unfair use when a derivative work is used for commercial purposes and found that the fourth factor weighed against fair use. ...
