The Cuban Revolution Essays -- essays research papers
The Cuban Revolution Mr. Barron Jason Rosenzweig                                   January 9, 1997      After the Cuban Revolution many change occurred in Cuba. Cuba was once a corrupt dictatorship, now and for the past 36 years Castro has led a communist government.      Before Castro took over Batista, Batista ran a biossed economy for the rich. Officials took pay offs, keeping the majority of the peoples thoughts invisible. Protestors of Batista were murdered, and their body's were thrown in gutters. During these times the life for the rich was plentiful, they had more Cadillacs than any other city in the world, and the highest number of T.V. sets per capita out of all the Latin American countries . Many gambling casinos were also present. While life for the poor was plagued with unemployment, inadequate health care, and a high illiteracy rate.      Castro's take over of the government, changed many ways of life in Cuba, most of which benefited the poor or the majority of the people. Education was improved for the poor, there are many times more schools and staff members to educate the young. Health care was improved, infant mortality rate has dropped from 60 to 11.1 which is comparable to industrialized nations.  &...

Macro ad/as model
Let us first understand the components of the AD/AS model, so we can determine and identify the factors which play a part in the level of output in the economy, and learn how the government intervenes in order to implement macro-policies in order to increase output, and the effects of these policies on the economy. The AD/AS model shows the combinations of both the aggregate demand curve and the aggregate supply curve.The aggregate demand curve shows the combinations of the price level and level of output at which both the money market and good market are in equilibrium, while the aggregate supply curve shows for each given price level the mount of out of output the firms are willing to supply. As mentioned in the 10th edition of macroeconomics by Mc Grawhill â€Å"the aggregate supply -aggregate demand model is the basic macroeconomic tool for studying output fluctuations†(Pg. 98, Macroeconomics, Rudiger Dornbush).Let us first understand the market equilibrium price of the p roduct and then identify and analyze how factors such as change in demand and supply, elasticity, separating and pooling equilibrium, market structure determine the price of a good or service. In free market, equilibrium price is the price at which there is no surplus or shortage nd therefore quantity demanded equals quantity supplied (Sloman 2008). At equilibrium, any change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied will move the market towards disequilibrium Let's work through an example.For this example, refer to . Notice that we begin at point A where short-run aggregate supply curve 1 meets the long-run aggregate supply curve and aggregate demand curve 1 . The point where the short-run aggregate supply curve and the aggregate demand curve meet is always the short-run equilibrium. The point where the long-run aggregate supply urve and the aggregate demand curve meet is always the long-run equilibrium. Thus, we are in long-run equilibrium to begin. Now say that the Fed pursues ex pansionary monetary policy.In this case, the aggregate demand curve shifts to the right from aggregate demand curve 1 to aggregate demand curve 2. The intersection of short- run aggregate supply curve 1 and aggregate demand curve 2 has now shifted to the upper right from point A to point B. At point B, both output and the price level have increased. This is the new short-run equilibrium. But, as we move to the long run, the expected price level comes into line with the ctual price level as firms, producers, and workers adjust their expectations.When this occurs, the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts along the aggregate demand curve until the long-run aggregate supply curve, the short-run aggregate supply curve, and the aggregate demand curve all intersect. This is represented by point C and is the new equilibrium where short-run aggregate supply curve 2 equals the long-run aggregate supply curve and aggregate demand curve 2. Thus, expansionary policy causes output and the pric e level to increase in the short run, but only the price level to increase in the long run

Writing a Persuasive Speech
Writing a Persuasive Speech The purpose of a persuasive speech is to make the audience see a certain issue your way. In order to accomplish this goal, you need to use compelling arguments, because people with strong opinions can be really difficult to sway. Following Monroes motivated sequence can be very helpful. It is a good idea to start with attention-grabbing opening statement regarding the topic. It could be a rhetorical question or a thought-provoking story, or even some shocking information. Afterwards you can mention why your speech may be of interest to the listeners. The next important part is the need step, where you should lay down the problem that has to be solved. You could either contend that the present state of affairs has to be changed, or, alternatively, that it has to be preserved exactly the way it is. To back up your statement you can employ some additional information, such as examples illustrating the need and making it more convincing. After formulating the problem you should present a possible solution, this way moving to the satisfaction step. Briefly explain the way you think things could be improved and support your proposal with logical argumentation and examples of how it was successfully realized before. In this fashion you provide both theoretical and practical validation of your ideas. The next step is visualization, in which you illustrate what is going to happen if your solution is implemented or if it isn’t. The goal is to make your description very vivid and realistic. Now move ahead to the final part: the conclusion (or the action step). Here you can summarize your main ideas and offer a specific course of action the listeners can take to become part of the solution.
