Trump’s Deficits Are Racing Past Obama’s Section 1 This article describes the spending trends of the United States government and the reasons behind the economic budget of the nation. The budget deficit in the government has escalated in the past decade and is piling up on Federal debts. This trend will heavily impede the US economy if Congress fails to rectify government spending and amend fiscal policies. The former president, Obama, saw the national deficits drop significantly from $1.4 trillion to $580 billion in the last year of his administration. In President Trump’s administration, the national debt has escalated from $660 billion to $984 billion and is expected to hit over a trillion dollars by 2030. Statistically, the growth of federal debts is expected to surpass the economy’s growth rate, which will restrict public expenditure of the GDP (Thomas 133). Also, the US GDP growth is expected to slow down this year, according to the Federal Open Market Committee. The increasing federal debts will reduce national savings and rise to the fiscal crisis in the future. Section 2 Government debts…
Learning Story When it comes to learning, various techniques aid us all in different ways. Some people learn best from watching, others learn from listening, and still others learn best with hands-on experience. For me, the best approach to learning has been a combination of these various techniques, with an emphasis on hands-on experience. By further developing these techniques over years of practice, and through constant self- reflection, I believe that I have finally reached a successful approach to learning. In the process of the learning procedure, hard work, commitment, and sacrifice have been necessary for my success. Besides, my mistakes helped me learn more than anything else, and in that way, failure has been my most reliable guide. Moreover, trial and error leads to a deeper understanding of consequences and accepting accountability. As much as having instruction can accelerate the learning process, there are always going to be aspects of learning that can only be self-discovered. However, this kind of hands-on experience can only be learned and cannot be taught. In other words, no amount of research can…

The China and Brazil Dispute In the Xia case, if the WTO were to rule in favor of Brazil, which of the WTO trade agreements would contain the justification and why? After the Brazil media hint on the toxic raw materials used in manufacturing the toys in China, the Brazilian government ordered the removal of toys from the market until some confirmation of the toys were made. During that period, Brazil was the highest importer of toys from China. So the government had a responsibility to make sure that its citizens are safe from any harmful substances. If, in any case, the toys contained these toxic materials, health problems would come up and, as a result, decrease the economic status of Brazil. According to the World Trade Organization (WHO) agreements, any country member involved in the trade should ensure that the goods and services offered are safe and free from any harmful substances. In this case, the WTO would support the Brazilian decision to ban the import of toys from China until the goods were declared safe. If the details…
Social, Economic, Ethical and Political Challenges in Climate Crisis Introduction Climate crisis describes climate change and global warming, the consequences they impact on the world. It’s a terminology used to define the impending threat that global warming poses to earth, and also to create a sense of urgency in developing an effective mitigation plan for climate change. Climate change is defined as an alteration in either regional or global weather patterns. This is mostly change that occurred during the mid to late part of the 20th century and has largely influenced the increase in carbon dioxide from the usage of fossil fuels. Global warming is described as the rise of greenhouse gases that have led to the increase of the earth’s temperature in the atmosphere (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013). Climate change is seen to negatively affect the outcome of life today as a result of global warming. The increase in greenhouse gases has brought about a rise in temperature that has changed the typical structure of the ecosystem. (Hanjra&Qureshi, 2010). The world’s population growth has led to a…
Expectations for a Good Case Write-Up The purpose of the case analysis is to present you with a typical scenario you will encounter in business at some point in your early career and to let you apply the concepts you’ve learned in class and/or from the book to analyze the issues facing a specific company (or person). For a good case analysis, you must closely examine the issues with which the company is confronted. A case analysis is not an essay or a report: Case = A statement of facts and reasons (figures, charts and graphs as well as data) used to support an argument. Analysis = A careful and methodical investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relationships in making up the whole. Requires critical thinking. You will probably need to read the case several times – once to grasp the overall picture of what is happening with the company and then several more times to discover and grasp the specific problem(s) that need to be addressed. Generally, “textbook driven” cases provide clear hints as to…
What are the psychological impacts of climate change? Research Question What are the psychological impacts of climate change? The Issue of Climate Change Climate change is an expression that is used to describe the changes in atmospheric conditions over some time, due to natural variations or resulting from human activity. Climatic changes include fluctuationsin temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns over an elongated period, usually between months and millions of years (Clayton et al., n.p). The variations may occur in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, earth’s surface, and biosphere. Climate change is not a phenomenon that just happened overnight. The accelerated rate of the variation of the conditions over the past few decades is attributed to human activity/behavior. The main driver of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) through human activities such as combustion of fossil fuels (Gifford, Robert, Karine, and Angel, 163). It is, therefore, undoubtful that the rate of climate change can be reduced by changing human behavior that leads to the effect. It is regrettable that many people still do not understand how human behavior contributes…
Karl Max describes religion in his writings as an opium of the oppressed. He says religion is an expression of material realities and economic injustices, which means that the problem faced in religion are problems in society. He describes religion as a symptom rather than a disease. This is because religion is used by the oppressed to make them feel better about their distress. According to Karl Max, religion can be the opium of the poor in that it is meant to create an illusion fantasy for the poor. The struggles of the poor hinder them from finding true happiness, and religion tells them that it is alright because they will find joy in life after death. Just as the opium-based drugs relieve the pain during severe injuries, religion does that to the economically hurt. There are several examples to support Karl Max’s views. First, the church is wealthy but chooses not to help the poor; the region legitimizes the suffering of the poor and dis-privileged. Also, the king i9n the 21st century was the representative of God, and disobeying…
