...Course Project Parts 1-3 ITT Technical Institute GE 273 Microeconomics How outsourcing affects the US economy and contributes to political stability in developing economies is a matter of great debate. Many people think this practice will have an overall positive effect on the US economy, since it saves money for companies, opens up opportunities for greater entrepreneurship in the US, and leads to more Americans holding higher level jobs. Jobs that companies outsource to save money besides medical and manufacturing include copy writing jobs for publishing companies, administrative jobs, and data entry jobs for insurance companies. Critics suggest hiring foreign workers has an immediate effect on the US economy by stripping many Americans of jobs they would have performed, particularly by semi-skilled or skilled laborers. Further, many argue that giving jobs to workers in less developed countries improves those countries economically and increases trade for US products. It also increases a country’s ability to pay back debts to the US, and may promote better political relationships. Companies economically benefit by selling their products in other countries. This means they can hire more people in the US, lower their prices on products for US consumers. Comparative advantage and efficiency takes place when countries, individuals, and firms have lower opportunity costs in the production of a good or service with comparison to that of their competitors. This creates more...

...Kafka reveals how modernity removes ownership of self by setting up Gregor’s life before he turned into a bug: “He sits with us at the table and reads the paper quietly or studies times tables” (Kafka 16). Just to support his family, Gregor had to prepare for work, thus losing out on any time he could have spent on himself. However, when Gregor turns into a bug, his family imprisons him: “stamping his feet, began to drive Gregor back into his room by brandishing the walking stick and the paper” (Kafka 23). Gregor is forced back into the room immediately after escaping its confines. Previously, Gregor’s family was cheering him on to escape his locked room (Kafka 20). However, when Gregor does escape his room, his family does not see him as human (Kafka 22). Rather, Gregor is forcefully removed from the family, and no member would acknowledge him (Kafka 23). It is interesting; however, that Gregor is dehumanized by his family after he turns into a bug (Elimelekh...

Introduction Interactive entertainment industry (sometimes referred to as the video game industry) is the economic sector involved with the development, marketing and sales of video games. It includes a tremendous amount of different job disciplines and employs thousands of people worldwide. This industry exists since 1970-s when the first arcade games appeared, like space invaders and pong. Today, the video game industry transformed into vast and high-growing market. According to data compiled by the “NPD Group”, a global market research company, and released by the Entertainment Software Associations, the computer and video game industry sold over 273 million units in 2009 leading to an astounding $10.5 billion in revenue. The statics of United States of America shows how great is the consumption of video games is. There are 67% of gamers in this country with average age of 34 years old. This is very inspiring that people keep playing games in their conscious adulthood. It will be correct to assume that the result of this statistics tells us how video games have penetrated in life of peoples. I took the US as example because this country has a great influence on...

...wife describes marrying her husband at age fourteen. After that, she was continuously shy, either out of respect, sub-ordinance, or just because of her introverted personality. According to the next stanza, she became more comfortable with the marriage by age fifteen and "stopped scowling." A year later, her husband (a merchant) departed for another village, which is where he has been for the past five months. The monkeys' sorrowful noise mirrors her loneliness. She writes that her husband "dragged [his] feet" when he left - indicating that he did not want to leave her. She ends her letter by writing that if he comes back along the river, he should send word ahead, and she will come out to meet him. The poem is signed "by Rihaku." Analysis: Pound was not the creator of this poem; he translated it from the original Chinese version by Li Po. The Chinese original likely had a specific form and identifiable meter, but Pound did not know enough about Chinese poetry to preserve it in his translation. Pound wrote his translation in free verse, structured around the chronological life events of the river-merchant and his wife. This form, though perhaps not Li Po's intent, does actually align with the content of this poem. The free verse makes the letter feel more authentic, as if it is a real letter from a wife to...

...The Cathedral and the Bazaar Eric Steven Raymond cf text and copyright at: www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings Abstract I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of some surprising theories about so=ware engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally di:erent development styles, the “cathedral” model of most of the commercial world versus the “bazaar” model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the so=ware-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposition that “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”, suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of selfish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implications of this insight for the future of so=ware. 1 The Cathedral and the Bazaar Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago (1991) that a world-class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected only by the tenuous strands of the Internet? Certainly not I. By the time Linux swam onto my radar screen in early 1993, I had already been involved in Unix and open-source development for ten years. I was one of the first gnu contributors in the mid-1980s. I had released a good deal of open-source so=ware onto the net, developing...

... Branding consists of the name, symbol, slogan, design or any blend of these that identify the offerings of your entity and differentiate it from another. Branding is the visual influence of your company. Brand-building is enhancing brand’s equity directly and indirectly through marketing campaign and promotions respectively. Brand equity is the significance your business name has in the industry without accounting the profitability of the company (Vincent, 2012). Equity mean gives an edge, consideration, or autonomy to a company in comparison to another. Positioning is employing promotion to project differentiation in your business and its offering to targeted customers. Building and upholding a strong brand is a primary intention for successful organizations. A general talk with my friend Mark, the word Apple or iPhone is bound to come up whether in terms a discovery of a new exciting app in the App Store or just about the release of another “out of this world” product. This behavior is not because he’s a young tech savvy but because he adores this particularly brand and all its products. Apple is the leading technological firms in the world. It’s mainly involved in the manufacture of premium and innovative electronic products. Recent studies suggest the company enjoys the largest consumer or brand loyalty as compared to its competitors...
