Economics - January 2007

Full with oil midle east was helped by modern nation to explore oil. unfortunately certain tribes got control on profits ( by help of west) and now situation has come that they have made virtually a big part of humanity as slaves with no human and democratic rightes; natural resouces belong to all humanity. Is not it time for united effort by all world nations to intervene and help stop all time wars in region( these are simple greed issues, religion has nothing to do with it , only name of a major religion is being used for selfish gains). FIRST step must be to bring all democracy and non-tribal governments in all arab plus region as soon as possible. (before they run out of gas and life)

two seperate questions

2007-01-09 10:04:34 · 7 answers · asked by frederic B 2

I have looked at past questions that were similar to this one, but not exactly the same. I am looking for, quite simply, which uses more electricity between a standard microwave and a small toaster oven to heat the same food. I know that a microwave is on for less time, but I do not know how much electricity per minute each of the devices use.

I am trying to figure out which will use the least amount of electricity to heat my food. For argument's sake, let's say the food takes three minutes in the microwave versus ten minutes in a toaster oven, which is about standard for the things I'm looking to heat. Taste is not a factor in this question. If anyone could give me a source for their answer it would be doubly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

as the price of raw materials such as oil steel and copper increase, then firms which use these goods in order to make goods will shorley have to increase there prices, resulting in inflation,

there is a minimum cost for producing good and if that cost increases how could raising intrest rates reduce inflation assuming firms cannot absorb all of the increases costs.

It was originally formed as a trading block of countries to compete with larger single markets such as the USA.

Every year more and more countries are admitted and can benefit from trading with other member states without import duty.

The economies of those new member states can receive new grants and subsidies from other member states.

So if we have no limit on membership what is the benefit?

We lose all our rights to self management of our economies and trade but we are at the mercy of countires with lower wages and social benefits so we are undercut in import export.

Now being a member we are less protected tha we were before we were members and we now are not allowed to do anything to protect our trade.

I can understand the politicians wanting working people to have a decent wage however where do these people think the money is coming from? Businesses are in the business of making money so when they are forced to increase their wages the price for their goods is bound to go up to make up the difference. In other words the ones who will be paying for the cost increase will be the consumer, you and I. The price of milk, bread, eggs, ect will all go up. It has happened every time minimum wage increases, so isn't it all a relative thing anyway and that increasing wages will in the long run do nithing but devaluate the dollar? Can't they see this and work to fix the real problem,,,, the cost of raw material, employee insurance, health care, all that stuff that humans need and so on? In the end raising wages means nothing if prices go up. If it costs a penny or a nickel, a piece of penny candy is still a piece of penny candy. Am I wrong in my thinking? Thank you for your thoughts.

It would seem to me that raising the minimum wage would be the best way to solve the social ills in our societies. Welfare rolls would drop, the economy would be spurred by people that are now able to buy the basic necessities of life. The government would get more tax revenue and be in a position to drop taxes as a result of higher incomes and higher economic activity. Not to mention it is the right thing to do. The only drawback would be an immedite and temporary spike in inflation as employers pass on the increased costs. This increase can be accompanied by a coincidal corporate tax cut to accomodate increased business costs.


Please only educated responses please! I'm looking for figures.

I am doing a homework assignment where the questions are based on the movie Stand and Deliver.

The question that I must answer deals with a quote from the movie where the vice princapal stated that depending on your econmic status depends on your intellegence. I have to prove that if you are poor doesnt mean that you are stupid. And name two people in history who are good examples to make valid argument

Below is what I have so far

I completely disagree with the statement that was made by the female vice principal during the faculty meeting. Basically, she was implying that a student’s intelligence is based on the economic status of the community they live in. Breaking it down to even more into simpler terms, she was saying if you are poor then you are considered stupid. This statement is incorrect because there are many people in the world today who have been raised in poverty but still managed to have a good head on their shoulders.
