...Over the recent months following the recession, there has been talk about the overall state and well-being of the United States economy. The U.S. economy has been trying to slowly recover from the devastating hit from the last recession. Consequently, there have many successes and failures as the economy tries to stabilize itself. For example, as the unemployment rate falls the inflation rate rises. In examining recent trends in unemployment, gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, and policies used to address the economic health of the U.S. economy I believe the economy is slowly improving. In the text, Essentials of Economics, author Bradley R. Schiller discusses the term full-employment. Full-employment refers to “the lowest rate of unemployment compatible with price stability; variously estimated at between 4 and 6 percent unemployment” (Schiller, 221). Full-employment is also embedded into the Policy Goal in order to keep price stability in order. There are four main factors that influence macroeconomists to maintain a low unemployment rate. These factors include seasonal, frictional, structural and cyclical unemployment. All of these different types of unemployment add to reasons why some workers leave a job, cannot get a job, or job fluctuate due to season. Overall, the underlying point is that the U.S. economy must have a low unemployment to have a successful and productive economy. The unemployment rate has been progressively decreasing. At the end of February the...

...Medical Marijuana Should Be Legalized By Antoina Wynn English 101 Ms.McCormick 21 April 2012 Medicine is the art or science of restoring or preserving physical condition as by means of drugs, surgery or obstetrics or any substances used in the treatment of illness (dictionary.com). From there one must ask what a drug is. The dictionary definition of drug is any substance recognized in the official pharmacopeia, any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in humans and other animals, or a habit forming medicinal or illicit substance, especially a narcotic. A cancer patient goes through chemotherapy in an attempt to cure their cancer and preserve their life, but this form of medicine causes nausea, vomiting, infections, hair loss, mouth sores, diarrhea, constipation and fatigue. These symptoms make the already sick patient feel much worse than they already were but medical marijuana can relieve many of the symptoms that chemotherapy causes. Marijuana or cannabis was once recognized in the US Pharmacopeia, so its medical uses are known and recognized. Medical Marijuana should be legalized because it still provides a safe alternative for healing and relief for a various range of illnesses Cannabis or Marijuana was classified as a Schedule 1 drug in the controlled substance act of 1972. Schedule 1 drugs are considered to have high potential for abuse, no medical use and not be safe for use even under medical...

...second consecutive annual decline in poverty. Since two thousand fourten, the poverty rate has fallen two point one percentage points from fourteen point eight percent to twelve point seven percent.” Through the lens of poverty these numbers are excellent, because the statistics display national poverty rates strictly. These numbers do not show the mass unemployment that millions of Americans still face to this to this day. According to an article writen by Algernon Austin, Austin states that “In the first half of two thousand thirteen: The American Indian unemployment rate was eleven point three percent. American Indians have endured five years of unemployment rates over ten percent.” Further more in a recent report by the Bureau of Labor Statisitcs “In 2016, for example, the overall civilian unemployment rate was four point nine percent, while the rates for the major race and ethnicity groups ranged from three point six percent for Asians to eight point four percent for Blacks or African Americans; the rate for Whites was four point three percent in two thousand sixteen, and the rate for Hispanics or Latinos was five point eight percent. Though currently the unemployment rate as nation does not seem so catastrophic, millions of Americans have to suffer the cruel epedemic of unemployment, driving many to live an impoverished lifestyle. Along with Junior’s reservation having a poor economy, Junior’s tribe like many others suffer from high rates of substance abuse and alcoholism....
