Classical vs. Keynesian Macroeconomics

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008


According to the Keynesian view, if this economy shifts from AD1 to AD2, let’s say due to a large decline in investment spending by businesses, then:

A) the price level will increase, but real GDP will decrease.
B) the GDP will increase, but the price level will not change.
C) the price level will increase, but real GDP will not change.
D) both the GDP and the price level will decrease.

 

A)    both the GDP and the price level will decrease.

fall in investment will lead to left-ward shift of AD thus toward new equilibrium GDP over old SRAS.

Ladies, what’s the best way to deal with men with?

Friday, August 1st, 2008


the mentality, “it is not a matter of no, it’s a matter of when” meaning that they think by continuously hitting on (harassing) a female, she will give in…

1. On the streets
2. At work
3. At school
4. Any other place

Especially when you don’t want to leave bad airs amongst one another, you. simply. want. it. to. stop

 

I have known a few blokes, and girls like this. They don’t get invited to any social gathering ore than once!

Anyone, male or female who always seems to be gagging for a shag or hitting on others is difficult to be around, and often very convinced that they are absolutely charming ladies and gentlemen.

“Ladies, what’s the best way to deal with men with the mentality, “it is not a matter of no, it’s a matter of when” meaning that they think by continuously hitting on (harassing) a female, she will give in…”

Ignoring them completely and utterly, to the point of pretending they are not there.

At work. “I will never date you, even if we were the last two living people and the human race would die out.”
A bar or street, after numerous nice Nos. “What part of F off do you not understand?” Yes, I once said it, and it has gone down in history among my friends..

Does maturity equal boring?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008


And does immaturity equal fun?

 

Immaturity would more closely relate to youth rather than fun. The younger you are, the more immature you are relative to how mature you will be in your later years. When people “mature” they are essentially becoming less and less excited about seeing the world around them and also less and less open to different beliefs. This being said, each person will only become so mature and nothing will ever change that. Immaturity is seen as childish and naive because in many ways it is; it is highly related to being a child and later an adolescent.

More mature people will get less excitement from doing things that more immature find amazingly exciting.

———

When we were young and immature maturity seemed like some far of place that we would never reach.When we were growing up big peaple would dangle the world before use like it was some special state of being to aspire for,and we attained it doors would open for us.Maturity was the ticket driving,drinking,having a serious relationship,earning our own money,living our own and being left largely alone to be ourselves and make our own decisions.
Now that i have been an adult for many years,I realize that the descriptions of maturity force upon me as kid were both overrated and underrated.
As an adult I miss being carefree and irresponsible.I miss being immature and reckless and sometimes I allow myself some lattitude to be a bratty kid again whu must have instant gratification.

What is the best explanation for the kind of work done by the Louis and Mary Leakey?

Friday, July 25th, 2008


They were dedicated and passionate anthropologists who made ground-breaking discoveries in the quest for human origin. The details of their work and many discoveries could go on forever so I would just recommend checking out their website. It gives a good history of their lives and their work.

Louis Leakey I believe was the one who gave the name Homo habilus to one of the finds at Olduvai Gorge around the1960s era, Leakey was delighted by this, it went nicely with his theory that there were different species of hominids existing, some of which became extinct while one of them ” Homo habilus ultimately gave rise to modern humans. This was after thirty years of fruitless searching apart from a few minor bits and pieces. He also believed that the origin of the homo line went even further back in time. Many researchers could not bring them selves to accept this, at that time.

What is the difference between identity and role in social psychology?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008


These two seem so very similar, and I have to explain them in a paper and I am finding it completely difficult…

 

Identity is who you are , you are a 24 yr old female(for example).This is what you use when you define yourself, Basic facts about yourself.
Role is what your identity plays upon. What role you lead in life. This is something you choose to do. what you make yourself to be like, the things you do, the actions you take, the choices you make.

Which gender is more intelligent?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008


My friends and I couldn’t decide. The smarts would include both rational and logical.

 

I think both are born equal, but its our experiences through life that shape our intelligence.

——

i’d argue women are more inclined to think clearer, but they arent smarter. it all depends on how much one applies their education.

Why can’t people take the truth?!?!?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I hate the fact that alot of people can’t take the true expecially if they asked for the truth. Then why is that person viewed negativly. For ex. girls are called B*%$#es and guys are called a&&h$#*@!!! People should stop asking everyone elses opinions and trust their own, am I right???

 

We all have this idea that we are the best person we can be, even though that isn’t true. Some don’t want to hear the truth because they are afraid of it. It scares them that they are doing something wrong in someone elses eyes. We are often too afraid to really take a good look in the mirror and we just want others to tell us we are ok. When that isn’t the answer, it forces a person to look more deeply at themselves, and most people don’t like that.

As far as I am concerned, the truth is the kindest thing you can give a person though.

—–

That depends on the context of the truth.

Constructive truth should be accepted. ie. “Red’s not your colour. You should wear something Green.”

Negative truth serves no purpose. ie. “I hate you.” Perhaps you do hate them, but why should they react positively to that information merely because it is true ?

——–

you are right. sometimes, like when a girl asks one of her friends if she looks good, & they say of course!…well she’d most likely think that they are only saying that because they are her friends so she would ask for the truth. however, deep down , people dont want to really hear the truth…it only hurts.
people do need to thicken up their skin a little bit. people in this world live hard lives & you cry about the truth?
you’re absolutely right & people would be afraid to admit it.
it’s just the world. it’s just how so people are. life’s a *****..then you die

Seriously, what is wrong with men?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007
  1. I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through, but, no, not all guys are jerks
  2. Perhaps you need to meet some males worthy of your attention. We’re not all that way.
  3. I agree that not ALL men are jerks, but it seems like all the men you have met are. You need a change of scenery girl. Get out of that hell you call “home” and you may start to meet some decent people (even guys)
  4. You have a very common life.Know that your story isnt very different than than the next woman.What i say is if you always look where you always look you will always get what you get.Try newer surroundings.And good luck!
  5. You tell me what makes all men in your life like this. if you can’t change them for better don’t let them change you. have a faith and try to make your life better always.

believe it or not there are some fantastic men out there, you just have to know where to look. nobody can make excuses for what has happened to you, and none of it is your fault. your brother is probably harbouring some issues though, regarding the father and step father situation, as you probably know, your father and step father would have been the role models for your brothers behaviour. this doesnt make it right though. maybe you should talk to him, him may not even know he is the way he is. you also need to talk to someone (ie a psychotherapist) about what has happened to you, if you havent already, they will help you deal with what happened as well as give you some more self confidence. as for the boys at your school, all boys are like that, and maybe making friends with some girls wouldnt be a bad idea, but be choosy, as you will probably confide in them your deepest darkest secrets. as for the guy who told you to go away, it could be that he had more on his mind thatn you know about, and he is finding it hard to deal with his problems as well as yours (he could have been a bit nicer though). you never know, he might have been the nice guy you are looking for and may care about you a hell of a lot, which then it would hurt him to see you in so much pain.
sorry about the long winded reply, but i hope i helped.

 

  1. hang in there.youve just had one hell of a life so far.were not all assholes.i wish the best for you because more than likely your going to or probably already do have major trust issues when it is going to involve us.i wish i could of been the most recent friend of yours because what i need more than anything right now is a female friend.not trying to get a laugh from the guys.lifes a strange place.it’ll be alright.it’ll all work out.
  2. Really, not all of them are jerks, but the majority are. Don’t worry you are 17 you will meet a lot of good guys. May be you need to try some time to avoid friendship with men. See what will happen, may be you need to take your time.
  3. After reading your post…
    I’m sorry that you had to go through all that…
    Try joining a “support”-group, as in just a group of people coming together having some fun.
    I’m a Christian youth leader, and we have a youth programme.
    I’m sure you could probably find something somewhere that would fit you.

    By the way. I believe everything happens for a reason. Keep your chin up. Stay positive.
    If you get through this, you will be an ambassador for women who have the same problems. And perhaps you can even help them. Let that motivate you.
    But first. Help yourself. You are strong. You CAN get through this.

  4. U have gone through some big difficulties! All I can say is ur plain unlucky regards to males. Hope you find a nice person soon.
  5. U have gone through some big difficulties! All I can say is ur plain unlucky regards to males. Hope you find a nice person soon.

This is the first time I’ve had a dream where I actually decide to stop running?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007
  1. Usually if I dream that I am running it is because I have a problem that is bothering me. I’d say things have settled down for you and going smoothly. I hope I am right for you.
  2. I really don’t know. But I don’t like pit-bull…..
  3. It may been you’ve decided to face whatever problems you have and deal with them, rather than run away from them. I think this is a very positive dream for you.
  4. Stop handling dogs to avoid dreams about being bitten!
  5. You are coming to grips with a situation in your life. You have avoided for too long. You have run away from the situation, not wishing to face it, for fear of failure/defeat. You have come to a place in your life where you have the confidence and intelligence to solve the problem.
  6. It means you’re ready to face your fear.

Is it possible to control our dreams when sleeping?

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

What you are talking about is called lucid dreaming. I think, with practice, it is possible. Ever seen the movie Waking Life? After watching that, I was obsessed with lucid dreaming for a while. It’s difficult though, and I’m not sure it makes for the most restful sleep. But, in your case, I guess it’s better than nightmares.
