...Higher gas prices should lower demand. How do you evaluate this statement? One would think this statement to be true, but as gas prices rise, the demand for the gas does not change. Consumers still are in demand for the fuel due to traveling, commuting to work and school, etc. Also, in this day and age I feel consumers will pay higher gas prices due to the preference of wanting to drive their own vehicles then partaking in public transportation. Certain consumers are preparing in advance for the spike in gas prices by purchasing a vehicle that is fuel efficient, while others pay no mind to the rising prices. What are the three reasons that law demand exists. Explain. The three laws of demand are diminishing marginal utility, income effect and substitution effect. Diminishing utility- Is described as, the more a consumer purchases an item, and their satisfaction will deteriorate over time. For example, I have a love of racing RC cars, as I buy more I become less satisfied because what I thought would be a better RC car turns out to be false. This causes me not being satisfied and my fulfilment of racing is not complete. Income effect- Is the effect of a change in income, either directly or indirectly, changing the assumption of goods. For example, when a consumer has to change their cable package to a lower level due to a decrease in income, where before they had more than enough income to afford a $300 cable package that includes numerous extras. Substitution...

...Evaluating Media Coverage My first online video story was on CNN and it covered the “Lockerbie Bomber Dies in Tripoli”. The length of this video was around 3:22 and I found this story playing on people’s emotions. What it showed (which was terrible) was a man convicted of bombing a airline flight back in 1988(Pan Am, flight 103), which killed all 270 people on board. The Lockerbie bomber was given 27 years but only served about eight years, because of prostate cancer. They interviewed the passengers family’s and they expressed how they thought about his early release. This was a good way to get an emotional response in the audience/public. However, they did bring up some interesting points like the fact that Libya threatened Britain in a statement that if the bomber died in a Scottish jail, there would be dire consequences. Of course, when asked about this, this was denied. People in Scotland were interviewed and many thought that he was being used as a “scapegoat” so to speak. Even the possibility that he may have even been a Libyan Intelligence Agent was mentioned but that was never proven, even in the trial. My second online news video was with Fox News about the continuing story about baby Lisa and the newest updates. It had the parents and their attorney at the news station being interviewed, as well as flash backs with the same reporter from the beginning. This interview lasted 10:27 which is quite a bit longer then the first video but then again, we are talking about...

...The Social, Cultural, Historical and Political context of The Women of Lockerbie The Women of Lockerbie is a play written by Deborah Brevoort; set in town of Lockerbie sometime after the bombing of Pan Am 103, a New Jersey couple visit there to search for the remains of their son who was killed in the attack. They find a group of women there who are protesting against the American government to obtain the clothes of their departed ones, but the government plans to burn them. The play focuses and is based around how people cope with devastating news and loss. This is clearly shown through the characters as is made more believable as it is based off a real event and set in a real place. This time period that the play is set in is shown to be a time of moving forward as well, as the characters are trying to move forward with their lives, but are being held back. The play handles and displays the government as being the antagonists. This is to emphasise when the play is set, as it is set in a time where people were scared and nervous. The way I would portray these emotions would be by speaking my monologue in a low pitch and tone, which gets across the feeling of sadness and depression which is what the overall context of then play is. It makes the characters seem very pessimistic. The play contains a lot of chorus like sections. These are used to get the sombre feelings that the play brings up. It fits with the overall pace and themes of the play as it is about coping...

...En este trabajo presentare no solo una empresa si no varias empresas que fracasaron por varias causas. SEGA Una de las más grandes compañías de videojuegos de la historia. Durante años la compañía japonesa nos ofreció consolas increíbles y juegos que se convirtieron en clásicos. La Megadrive fue la consola favorita de toda una generación, pero ahí acabó su reinado, compartido durante años con Nintendo. En este casi faltó analizar el producto e innovarlo con tiempo. En 1994 lanzó su consola de 32 bits, la Sega Saturn. Pese a la gran acogida que tuvo en Japón, la Saturn tuvo unas ventas menores en el resto del mundo. La llegada de la Sony Playstation y decisiones equivocadas en cuanto al hardware. La Saturn era una buena consola, pero era demasiado difícil programar para ella (debido a sus dos procesadores) con lo que la Playstation le acabó por robar a los usuarios, que se decantaron por los juegos de la gris de Sony, que vendió 100 millones de consolas frente a solo 10 por parte de Sega. Para enmendar su error, en 1999 Sega sacó la que probablemente fue su mejor consola, la Dreamcast. Una máquina potente, con multijugador online y un catálogo de juegos espectacular. Pese a vender 36 millones de unidades, tampoco funcionó. La fama que había ganado Sony con su Playstation hizo imposible remontar a tiempo y en 2001 la compañía anunció oficialmente que renunciaba a seguir fabricando consolas para dedicarse en exclusiva al software. Pese a que ahora desarrolla juegos con bastante...

...I was born in Kinshasa, it is the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is located in Africa, right in the center. It is one of the largest country in Africa with a lot resources. The most known resource that we have is the coltan which is used to make smartphones. I went to high school in Kinshasa at Complexe Scolaire (School Complex) Les Loupiots and I played several sports such as soccer, basketball and tennis. I was the captain of the soccer and second captain of the basketball team. I was not planning on studying in an English program because I knew how hard it would be to learn a new language. Even though we learned English in high school, French was our primary and first language. I choose ISU because my older brother came here before me and was telling me how good the program was and that I would not have difficulties with English if I was willing to learn. I am currently majoring in Business Administration and I am planning on adding another major which might be management. I chose Business Administration because I did not know which concentration fits me well, but I am leaning toward management for my second major. I have four siblings, one sister and three brothers. I am currently living with my older brother here in Terre-Haute. I like to go hang out with my friends and watch sport games. I watch soccer, basketball, football and tennis. I usually go play basketball and soccer at the rec when I have time. I always thought that aviation was what I wanted...
