The theory of the “Broken window fallacy” says that destruction and the costs incurred along with it do not reap any kind of benefits to the economy. If any kind of destruction occurs‚ there are many parties that are going to be affected‚ if it’s a natural disaster it would affect the business of the economy and the economy is hit badly. If everything was working on normal pace‚ the business could have flourished and would have new avenues‚ but on the event of the destruction all those extra opportunities

While reading “Broken Spears”‚ written by Miguel Leon-Portilla‚ I’ve had a small view of what Mexican culture was like back in those times. They are sort of different from America’s traditions and societies. Broken Spears is unlike others written about the loss of the empire because it was written from the point of the Aztecs and not the Spanish. As the book goes on‚ Miguel Leon-Portilla describes how the Spanish were successful in taking over the solid empire. The book really starts out by giving

From reading chapter 3 about “The Hidden Origins of Slavery” in the book titled A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki it is found that there is much evil spoken of about black skinned people and their relationships with white people. Takaki mentioned‚ “In the English mind‚ the color black was freighted with an array of negative images: deeply stained dirt‚ foul‚ dark or deadly in purpose‚ malignant‚ sinister‚ wicked. The color white‚ on the other hand‚ signified purity‚ innocence‚ and goodness.” Today

In the book Drive: The Story of My Life‚ multiple parts were precise‚ but the part I was able to visualize the best is chapter 5. In this chapter‚ Larry explains how he was never really into basketball until his sophomore year. Growing up‚ he would play it with his brothers‚ but it was just something that he did on the side. His freshman year‚ he decided to try basketball. He enjoyed it‚ but he didn’t practice as hard as he could because he still wasn’t completely into it. The next year‚ he

Haiti is a beautiful yet broken country. If someone asked how to describe Haiti this was commonly how others and myself would describe the country. This past October-November‚ I was given an incredible opportunity to witness and experience Haiti myself. Haiti is deeply enriched in their culture and religion that is truly special. Haiti unfortunately lacks in sanitary‚ resources‚ and finances that takes away from Haitians being able to take care of their health. This country has gone through a lot

where the assault rate in 2014 was 371 per 100 000 (Queensland Police Service‚ 2016). When interpreting this data using the “Broken Windows” theory‚ a trend appears. There is a significant presence of graffiti throughout Wyoming Street in Detroit (Appendix 1‚ 2‚ 5) as well as obvious dumped rubbish‚ abandoned cars and derelict buildings (Appendix 2‚ 3‚ 4‚ 5‚ 6). The “Broken Windows” theory suggests that neighbourhoods where such visible signs of physical disorder are present tend to correlate with

Dying of a Broken Heart 5.1 million people across America have congestive heart failure and almost half of those people will die within 5 years of diagnosis. Heart failure is a weakness of the heart that leads to the buildup of fluid in the lungs and surrounding body tissues. This decline in cardiac productivity leads to the blood not being able to circulate from the body and lungs back to the heart‚ causing fluid to leak from capillary blood vessels. Heart failure is most commonly caused by

The first chapter of the textbook focuses on child development as it is related to children’s experiences with death‚ grief‚ and bereavement. Overall‚ my gut reaction is that I enjoyed the chapter and that I believe that the majority of the points made were strongly backed by evidence and reasoning. There were multiple strong points throughout the chapter. For example‚ the chapter set out to address 4 fundamental subjects and they were each examined throughout the chapter. Another strong point

One Piece Chapter 842 opened with Sanji’s struggle and recall with his memories with Zeff aka Red Leg‚ who taught him how to cook while he stayed in the cruise ship. On the other hand‚ Luffy upgraded his power to Gear 4th to defeat Cracker and his biscuit soldiers. The new chapter started with a sneak peak of Luffy’s on-going battle against Cracker and his biscuit soldiers. Before One Piece Chapter 842 narrated towards the end of the battle‚ it shifted to Sanji’s swollen face‚ with Reiju who was

I watched Deborah Gruenfeld’s video before reading chapter 7 and again after completing the chapter. My perception was not the same after watching the video for the second time. I noticed her gestures‚ eloquence‚ posture and mode of dressing and I realized that although she was talking about how to convey power and influence‚ she was conveying what Pfeffer talked about in chapter 7 as “acting with power”. Gruenfeld expressed confidence as she was lecturing and her posture and gestures was like Pfeffer
