Content: equilibrium price equilibrium price
Critics of supply and demand say the system
does not distribute resources equally. According to Adam Smith, competition fosters efficiency because
producers have to offer the best products at reasonable prices. In New Hampshire, most general stores sell maple syrup and other maple products. Since no one business sells enough maple products to influence the price, this is an example of
pure competition. The automobile industry in a developing country has very few sellers. If one automobile company raises the prices of its trucks by a certain amount, other automobile companies in the industry follow by raising prices by a similar amount. This situation is an example of
an oligopoly. The government permits Electrify, a national electricity provider, to have a monopoly because the cost of supplying the service is so great that new providers cannot compete for sales. As a result, Electrify's prices are set by
government regulation. _____ is the condition of an economy in which unemployment is very high, consumer spending is low, and business output is sharply reduced. | https://quizlet.com/275642988/business-1-5-flash-cards/ |

Content: Why did George Kennan think that containment would work against Soviet expansion? Kennan thought if he provided aid to countries that were suffering econommically and might soon have to go into the soviet union, he could build them up and therefore they could stand up against communism
How did the United States and its allies apply the containment policy in Europe? The US passed the Marshall Plan to give monetary aid to help European countries rebuild their economies. The idea is that by building solid economies in Europe, the countries wouldn't fall to communism and thus contain it within the Soviet Union. How did President Truman use the power of the presidency to limit the spread of communism in East Asia? President Truman established that the U.S would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from internal or external authoritarian forces. President Truman delivered a speech before a joint session on March 12, 1947, this is how The Truman Doctrine up-rose. The immediate cause for the speech was a recent announcement by the British Government that, as of March 31, it would no longer provide military and economic assistance to the Greek Government in its civil war against the Greek Communist Party. Why were the communists able to win the Chinese Civil War? Jiang Jieshi and his nationalist's forces were corrupt, and the united states refused to intervene militarily. | https://quizlet.com/277005434/chapter-12-the-cold-war-focus-questions-flash-cards/ |

These include extreme acidic, saline (extreme halophiles), radioactive, hot (extreme thermophiles), and cold environments, many of which are tremendously toxic or precarious to humans. Although PCR is giving biologists a better opportunity to further study these curious micro-organisms without culturing them in a lab it is still a much more drawn out process than obtaining live samples. For now, the Domain Biology has a significant advantage in its study than Archaea. also it is important to take into account that human diseases are not caused by arcgaeal organismss

Content: How would you explain gender differences in the crime rate? Why do you think males are more violent than female? Anger and aggression are more appealing from males at a young age, even at adulthood, the same behavior in a man would also be anger and aggression. People are 'trained' to preform different roles in society which allows men to lead more crimes than women. I think males and women are some what equal when it comes to crimes because everyone is different through the mental state so everyone thinks different. There are in fact more males who commit more crimes but it doesn't justify that men are more violent, it just justifies more men get caught being violent. Assuming that males are more violent than females, does that mean crime has a biological as opposed to a social basis (because males and females share a similar environment)? Men are over-represented in crimes because they have a greater desire to enhance the chances of passing down their genetic material. By displaying violence, they are attempting to attract females or eliminate competition. This would explain why males are more likely to kill other males and why females are also more likely to be victims of male violence. | https://quizlet.com/281830485/feening-bro-flash-cards/ |

Content: Female offenders' lack of "traditional" female personality traits. Socialization Development
Girls are socialized to be less aggressive than boys and are supervised more closely by parents. Differences in aggression become noticeable between ages 3 and 6 when children are first socialized into organized peer groups such as day care. Cognitive Differences
Girls have been found to be superior to boys in verbal ability, whereas boys test higher in visual spatial performance. Girls acquire language faster, learning to speak earlier and faster with better pronunciation. Girls are far less likely to have reading problems than boys whereas boys do much better on standardized math tests. Feminist Views
This view suggests that the traditionally lower crime rate for women could be explained by their "second class" economic and social position. Convergence Likely
Female arrest rates seem to be increasing at a faster pace than males. the "emancipation of women" may have had relatively little influence on female crime rates. Changes in police activity may explain differences in arrest trends. | https://quizlet.com/29084367/criminology-flash-cards/ |

Why are experimental investigations the best type of scientific investigation to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships? Experimental investigations are the best type of scientific investigation to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships because they allow the investigator to actively manipulate variables and control conditions. The independent variable can be isolated and manipulated, producing a change (or no change) in the dependent variable. This change can be measured to gather evidence to support or refute the cause-and-effect relationship.

11.23. Describe testosterone in terms of its chemical makeup (ie is it amino acid, protein or steroid) and how this affects its method of transport in the blood and method of action on target cells. a steroid hormone from the androgen group
Free testosterone (T) is transported into the cytoplasm of target tissue cells, where it can bind to the androgen receptor, or can be reduced to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), DHT binds to the same androgen receptor even more strongly than testosterone, so that its androgenic potency is about 5 times that of T. T-receptor or DHT-receptor complex undergoes a structural change that allows it to move into the cell nucleus and bind directly to specific nucleotide sequences of the chromosomal DNA. The areas of binding are called hormone response elements (HREs), and influence transcriptional activity of certain genes, producing the androgen effects. 11.24.

Content: P = MC
Long-run equilibrium in pure competition guarantees productive efficiency, such that output will be produced in the least-cost way. But it does not guarantee that anyone will want to buy the items that are being produced in the least-cost manner. Consumer surplus in pure competition
Consumer surplus is the green triangle, which is the sum of the vertical distances between the demand curve and equilibrium price. Consumer surplus= is the difference between the maximum prices that consumers are willing to pay for a product. Producer surplus in pure competition
Producer surplus is the sum of the vertical distances between the equilibrium price and the supply curve. Producer surplus = is the difference between the minimum prices that producer are willing to accept for a product. P = MC = Lowest ATC
After long-run adjustments, Pure competition produces both productive and allocative efficiency. It yields a level of output a which P=MC= lowest ATC, marginal cost, maximum willingness to pay for the last unit = minimum acceptable price for that unit, and combined consumer and producer surplus are maximized. Creative Destruction
The innovations that firms achieve thanks to competition are considered by many economists to be the driving force behind economic growth and rising living standards. The transformative effects of competition are often referred to as creative destruction. | https://quizlet.com/29992760/eco-202-unit-3-test-flash-cards/ |

Headings:
Content: not all buyers will be able to purchase the good
Normally, buyers would compete with each other by offering a higher price. If price is not allowed to rise, buyers must compete in other ways
Some buyers may be willing to bribe sellers in order to obtain the good
Buyers can also compete with each other through their willingness to wait in line. Bribes and waits both lead to a total price that is greater than the controlled price, (but they are different)
The total value of wasted time is represented by the area between the horizontal lines at the price that buyers are willing to pay and the controlled price (ceiling) and the vertical line at the quantity supplied at the controlled price. Lost Gains from Trade
Price controls reduce the gains from trade
Price ceilings set below the market price cause Qs to be less than the market Q
When Q is below the equilibrium market Q, consumers value the good more than the cost of its production
This represents a gain from trade that would be exploited (if the market were free). Deadweight loss is the total of lost consumer and producer surplus when all mutually profitable gains from trade are not exploited. Price ceilings create a deadweight loss by forcing Qs below the market Q
Buyers and sellers would both benefit from trade at a higher price, but cannot since it is illegal for price to rise
Price ceilings reduce the gains from trade
Deadweight Loss = Lost Consumer + Lost Producer Surplus
Misallocation of Resources
Price controls distort and eliminate incentive - leading to a misallocation of resourced
Consumers who value a good most are prevented from signaling their preference (by offering sellers a higher price)
So producers have no incentive to supply the good to the "right" people first
As a result, goods are misallocated
Price controls prevent resources from flowing to their highest valued uses
Rent Controls
A regulation that prevents rents from rising to equilibrium levels
Rent control is a price ceiling whose effects worsen over time
No one wants to build new apartments if the rents will be artificially low
The shortage is smaller in the short run than in the long run
Arguments for Price Controls
The general public may not understand the nasty side-effects of price controls
Shortages may benefit the ruling elite
Benefits of the ruling elite
In the former USSR, the communist party elite used Blat to obtain goods
Blat = having connections that can be used to get favors
The party elite can use their connections and power to obtain goods for themselves or others
Without such leverage their power dissipates
Universal Price Controls caused widespread and persistent shortages in the USSR
Price Floors
A minimum price allowed by law
Price floors are not as common as price ceilings
Four Common Effects of Price Floors
Surpluses
Lost gains from trade (deadweight loss)
Wasteful increases in quality
A misallocation of resources
Surplus
When prices are held above the market price (price floor) quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded
Lost Gains from Trade
Price controls reduce the gains trade (create deadweight losses)
Wasteful Increases in Quality
Price controls that create surpluses lead to wasteful increases in quality
The quality waste is represented by the area between the willingness to sell and the controlled price (floor) and to the left of the vertical line at the quantity demanded at the controlled price
If they can't lower the price, sellers will find other ways to compete
Higher quality, but would prefer a lower price
Price floors encourage sellers to waste resources: higher quality than buyers are willing to pay for
Misallocation of Resources
Price controls misallocate resources by allowing high-cost firms to operate and by preventing low-cost firms from entering the industry
Regulation prevented Southwest (and 79 other firms) from entering the national market

Commanders assess the time available for planning, preparing, and executing tasks and operations. This includes the time required to assemble, deploy, and maneuver units in relationship to the enemy and conditions. METT-TC - Civil Considerations
Civil considerations are the influence of manmade infrastructure, civilian institutions, and activities of the civilian leaders, populations, and organizations within an area of operations on the conduct of military operations. Civil considerations comprise six characteristics, expressed in the memory aid ASCOPE: areas, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events. ASCOPE - Area
Key civilian areas are localities or aspects of the terrain within an AO that often are not militarily significant. This characteristic approaches terrain analysis (OAKOC/KOCOA) from a civilian perspective. The intelligence staff analyzes key civilian areas in terms of how they may affect the missions of friendly forces as well as how friendly military operations may affect these areas. | https://quizlet.com/300977041/operational-and-mission-variables-flash-cards/ |

Content: These critics say that investigative journalism has become attack journalism: Journalists only care about bringing down a prominent person, not about the truth or the common good. Critics of attack journalism believe that President Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998 was the result of attack journalism and partisan politics. The rise of attack journalism has brought to light questions about the proper role of journalism. Acting as the Public Representative
The media sometimes acts as a public representative by holding government officials accountable on behalf of the people. Many people argue that the media is ill equipped to play this role because the media does not face the same type of accountability that politicians face. Serving as the representative of the public, moreover, could undermine the media's objectivity because the act of representing the people might require reporters to take a position on an issue.

Content: Age segregation in adolescents' cliques appear to result mostly from the structure of school-unlikely an individual will have friends who are substantially older or younger
During early and middle adolescent years, cliques tend to be same sex because initially formed on the basis of shared activities and interests
Not until adolescents begin dating that cliques mix
Race/ethnicity is not a strong determinant of clique composition during childhood, but like social class, becomes more powerful as adolescents get older
By middle/late adolescence, adolescents' peer groups are typically racially and/or ethnically segregated—may be influenced by discrimination
common interest among friends
Adolescent cliques are usually comprised of individuals who are the same age, in the same grade, from the same social class, and of the same race and/or ethnicity
Factors that are important to determining clique membership and friendship patterns (beyond above) are: Orientation toward school: Adolescents and their friends tend to be similar in the attitudes toward school, in their school achievement, and in their educational plans
Orientation toward the teen culture: Adolescents and their friends generally listen to the same music, dress alike, spend their leisure time in similar activities, and share patterns of drug/alcohol use
Involvement in antisocial activity: Antisocial, aggressive adolescents often gravitate toward each other forming deviant peer groups
Gangs: Organized peer groups of antisocial individuals
Gangs are also groups of adolescents who are similar in background, share common interests/activities, and use the group to derive sense of identity
Gang members tend to be more isolated from family, have more emotional/behavioral problems, and have poorer self-conceptions
ROle of Parent in peer groups
The process of antisocial peer group formation begins at home during childhood
Stems from problematic parent-child relationships (coercive & hostile), leads to antisocial disposition in children, which leads to issues in school (academic and peer failure)
When rejected by bulk of classmates, individual seeks out other antisocial peers
Side note: even if adolescent has more antisocial friends, better relationships at home and stronger attachment to school will make them less susceptible to peer influence
In addition, the crowd an adolescent belongs to is influenced by upbringing—parents play a role in socializing children toward certain values (e.g. athletics or academics)
Predispose adolescents towards choosing certain friends or crowds
selection and socialization
Research demonstrates that it is a combination of the two, both selection (attracted to each other because of initial similarity) and socialization (as friends they become more similar because they influence each other)
And adolescent's behavior can be predicted on the basis of his/her friendship group's profile
stability of adolescent friendships
Cliques show moderate stability over the course of the school year—with some members staying, others leaving, and new members joining
Cliques become more stable later in high school
Even though some clique members leave and are replaced by others, the new members are likely to have the same attitudes and values as former members
Which are more stable—same sex or opposite sex friendships? How about male friendships vs. female friendships? The most common causes of broken friendships are jealousy, incompatibility, violations of intimacy, and aggression
popularity and rejection
Although more socially skilled than unpopular teens, there are two forms of popularity that do not always go hand in hand: Sociometric popularity: | https://quizlet.com/31742960/adolescent-psych-final-flash-cards/ |

The possible positive effects of the Factory System is this made it easier to produce goods on a larger scale, and this introduced interchangeable parts in the manufacture of muskets and other types of goods. The negative effects of the Factory System is the factory wages decreased, the working conditions were terrible due to it being poorly lit, cluttered, and unsafe place, the workers put in long hours for low pay, and the machines could cause many injuries to the factory workers. | https://quizlet.com/334898208/global-quiz-flash-cards/ |

Content: Hitler could sustain such power by threatening people with violence and/or promising things to the people of Germany that were very unrealistic. Hitler then became chancellor so he had power legally. Hitler also banned other political parties and arrested his opponents. The Nazis also took control of the economy and started to come up with new laws. Why did the leadership of many European nations fall to dictators? In Hungary in 1919, a brief communist regime, military forces and wealthy landowners joined to make Admiral Miklos Horthy the 1st European post-war dictator. In Poland, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski seized power in 1926. Constitutions were suspended and kings turned to strong-man rule. This happened to countries who had little democratic experience and were struggling economically. Why did a movement like fascism and leaders like Mussolini and Hitler come into power during a time of crisis
People like Hitler and Mussolini came to power during times of crisis because many of the people were struggling economically and democracies were not working out, so the people began to turn towards leaders so they could prevent instability. | https://quizlet.com/335037113/global-history-chapter-31-flash-cards/ |

Describe the difference between psychological dependence and physiological dependence. Psychological dependence is when a person believes they need a drug, and physiological dependence is when a person's body becomes chemically dependent on a drug. Why are marijuana users stereotypically portrayed as sluggish people with "the munchies"? Marijuana has many side effects, such as feelings of general relaxation, distorted time-sense, short-term memory loss, and increased appetite. Together, these manifest themselves as a general disregard for time schedules and the inability to remember to perform tasks or chores. The increased appetite also results in marijuana users feeling "the munchies." Explain how using drugs can lead to death. One way death can result from drug use is from overdosing. | https://quizlet.com/335652613/psychology-test-review-2-november-done-flash-cards/ |

The increased appetite also results in marijuana users feeling "the munchies." Explain how using drugs can lead to death. One way death can result from drug use is from overdosing. Illegal drugs cannot be safely measured and can lead to an overdose. Suicide is another fatal consequence. Most drugs are depressants that amplify negative emotions and can affect one's judgment, leading to cases of suicide. Finally, infectious diseases result from drugs. When sharing needles, small traces of blood can transfer HIV, hepatitis B, and endocarditis. | https://quizlet.com/335652613/psychology-test-review-2-november-done-flash-cards/ |

Some people were worried that immigrants would lower pay or take jobs away from native-born citizens. They also linked immigrants' physical characteristics to criminal tendencies or lesser intellectual abilities. People also were suspicious of religious and cultural differences between native born people and immigrants. Jews and Catholics were treated with suspicion and prejudice. In what ways did immigrants assimilate to and change American culture? They brought their religion, language and food to America like Jews bringing bagels; Italians pasta; and Germans brought sausages called wieners; Chinese herbal remedies and chow mein
They fueled industrial growth, became citizens, and made their traditions part of American culture

Overall, those with high self-esteem have reported greater fulfillment in life, while those who lack esteem often make poor decisions regarding their social relationships and other decisions involving their surrounding environment. How can the media negatively affect self-esteem? The media often does not accurately portray reality. Therefore, when individuals compare themselves to individuals portrayed in the media, they may begin to view themselves as unworthy or lacking in some way. Because the media often gives an inaccurate portrayal of an individual's life, an individual can develop unrealistic expectations. | https://quizlet.com/342452285/achieving-mental-and-emotional-health-topic-test-review-flash-cards/ |

Businesses are generally free to produce goods or services, enter into contracts, and otherwise conduct business as they see fit. However, businesses are subject to substantial federal, state, and local government regulation. Government regulation is designed to protect employees and the public from unsafe and abusive practices by businesses. Many times when a regulatory statute is enacted, an administrative agency is created to enforce the law. Regulatory agencies—and the industries, businesses, and professionals they regulate—are governed by a body of administrative law. Because of their importance, administrative agencies are informally referred to as the fourth branch of government. Click again to see term 👆

Introduction to Administrative Law and Regulatory Agencies
Businesses are generally free to produce goods or services, enter into contracts, and otherwise conduct business as they see fit. However, businesses are subject to substantial federal, state, and local government regulation. Government regulation is designed to protect employees and the public from unsafe and abusive practices by businesses. Many times when a regulatory statute is enacted, an administrative agency is created to enforce the law. Regulatory agencies—and the industries, businesses, and professionals they regulate—are governed by a body of administrative law. Because of their importance, administrative agencies are informally referred to as the fourth branch of government. Administrative law
is law enacted by governments that regulate industries and businesses and professionals. are often referred to as regulatory statutes. | https://quizlet.com/345990071/chapter-43-flash-cards/ |

Relatively easy entry
characteristic of monopolistic competition
Monopolistic competition is characterized by firms
producing differentiated products
Terms that describe basic features of monopolistic competiton
easy entry, many firms, differentiated products
To make price less of a factor and product differences more of a factor in consumer purchases
the goal of product differentiation and advertising in monopolistic competition
Monopolistically competitive firms are similar to monopolies in that they have
marginal revenues that are less than price
Demand and marginal revenue curves are downsloping for monopolistically competitive firms because: Product differentiation allows each firm some degree of monopoly power
The demand curve faced by a monopolistically competitive firm
is more elastic than the monopolist's demand curve
The monopolistically competitive seller's demand curve will become more elastic the
larger the number of competitors
Assume that in a monopolistically competitive industry, firms are earning economic profit. This situation will
attract other firms to enter the industry, causing the existing firms' profits to shrink
If monopolistically competitive firms in an industry are making an economic profit, then new firms will enter the industry and the product demand facing existing firms will
decrease
In the long run, the economic profits for a monopolistically competitive firm will be
the same as the profits for a purely competitive firm
Firms in an industry will not earn long run economic profit if
there is free entry and exit of firms in the industry
Compared to a purely competitive firm in long-run equilibrium, the monopolistic competitor has a: higher price and lower output
At long-run equilibrium in a monopolistic competition, there is: neither allocative nor productive efficency
productive efficiency
a situation in which a good or service is produced at the lowest possible cost
P = minimum ATC
allocative efficiency
the particular mix of goods and services most highly valued by society

market models in which advertising are used the most often
Market model in which conditions of entry into the market are easiest
pure competition
Market model in which conditions of entry are most difficult
pure monopoly
The fast food industry is an example of this market model
monopolistic competition
The market for agricultural products such as wheat or corn would best be described by this market model
pure competiton
A purely competitive firm can be identified by the fact that
its average revenue equals its marginal revenue
The demand curve faced by a purely competitive firm
is the same as its marginal revenue curve
If a firm is a price taker, then the demand cruve for the firm's product is
perfectly elastic
In pure competition, the demand for the product of a single firm is perfectly: elastic because many other firms produce the same product
If a firm increases its output quantity when marginal revenue is less than marginal cost then its profits will
decrease
In the standard model of pure competition, a profit-maximizing firm will shut down in the short run if price is below
average variable cost
If the entry or exit of firms does not affect the resource prices in an industry, we refer to it as a: | https://quizlet.com/348533240/microeconomics-final-flash-cards/ |

Content: Is a global economy really good for the United States? " Ultimately, the medium- to long-term benefits of globalization are positive for everybody," says the CEO of Infosys Technologies in India. " Let me give you an example. As our industry has increased economic activity in India, it's becoming a bigger market for American exports... Today you can't find any soft drinks in India except Coke or Pepsi." In addition, foreign firms are building plants in the United States, revitalizing parts of industrial America. Indeed, foreign direct investment makes up 15% of the country's gross domestic product (total value of all goods and services). Companies based overseas provide jobs for approximately 10% of the U.S. workforce. When the recession ends, suggests Gregg Easterbrook, author of Sonic Boom: Globalization at Mach Speed, worldwide economic growth will pick up, "creating rising prosperity and higher living standards.... The world will be far more interconnected, leading to better and more affordable products, as well as ever better communication among nations."

Content: Non-whites had to move out of these areas and often had to find housing in run-down neighborhoods outside the suburbs. Before this, though, even though suburbs promoted Americanization, rigid racial boundaries were also drawn, probably subconsciously. Explain the ideological rifts among conservatives in the 1950s. Why did many view President Eisenhower as "not one of them"? In the 1950s, conservatism changed. New ideas developed that included freedom meaning individual autonomy, limited government, and unregulated capitalism. This appealed to entrepreneurs who wanted to pursue economic fortunes free of government regulation and high taxes. They called for a return of the values grounded in Christian traditions. Conservatism changed from believing there were too many barriers up for individual liberty to condemning too much individualism. These new conservatives were bitter towards the New Deal, and as Eisenhower wanted to continue the programs, they did not see him as one of them. | https://quizlet.com/349534340/term-4-chapter-24-an-affluent-society-1953-1960-flash-cards/ |

Content: The courts have tended to support administrators as long as their agencies
can apply a reasonable interpretation of a statute. Whenever Congress has a perceived need for ongoing control of an economic activity, it has tended to create a
regulatory agency. Compared to the president and Congress, the bureaucracy
has a more direct impact on the daily lives of Americans. The federal bureaucracy today is
a mix of the patronage and merit systems. YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE...

Has the new deal coalition affected policies in our community today? Explain? The New Deal Coalition was the alignment of interest groups and voting blocs that supported the New Deal and voted for Democratic presidential candidates from 1932 until approximately 1968.No, the politics in my community was not affected
Did the growth in powers of the federal government during the New Deal benefit the nation? Government growth in the 1920s was less than in any subsequent decade and resulted in the Great Depression. It was the New Deal's increase in Government power through regulation, such as the creation of the SEC, which saved capitalism and brought this nation from the brink of no return. What was the difference between the PWA and the WPA? The public works administration built bridges damns and power plants, the works progress administration administered the 5 billion dollars spend in the new jobs. How did the people react to the New Deal's effects? At first everyone was okay with it, because there was lots of people to work.
