What frameworks did the Japanese government employ to stimulate economic growth? After WW2, each country that participated in the war had to undergo an occupation and reconstruction process in a bid to develop economically, and Japan was no exception. For Japan, in the aftermath of WW2, the country encountered rapid economic growth, which made it become the second-largest economy at that time. However, this paper seeks to outline; the key drivers of the economic development in Japan in the aftermath WW2, it also seeks to explore the microeconomic elements of a market system that stimulated her rapid economic development as well as the macroeconomic development process of post-war Japanese economy famously known a “Miracle Recovery.” In summary, the paper illustrates the economic drivers of Japan after WW2 and…

Material science, also known as material engineering is the study and research on materials that surrounds us every day. This is from the actual things we do every day including easy feats as we may consider holding our carbonated beverage, or the pens we normally use to compose, all the way to materials that presses the limits in the innovation sector such as aerospace and sport devices. The researchers are normally tasked into looking at all of the various groups of metals, alloys, polymers among many others. These groups of materials are of essence as they enhance existing materials in order to offer efficiency. In addition, they also look at the ways which can be used with other materials together. It is ion the field of materials science where you can find science, engineering and the innovation of materials. Throughout the study of materials science, there are many practical aspects of science that can always be learned. This includes the fundamental parts of material science where items can be enhanced using the understanding structure as well as how the processing…

Legislation and self-regulation Self-regulation is the term used to refer to the situation where the parties in an organization industry or trade sector of the economy are mandated to monitor their conformance to legal, ethical, social as well as safety standards. In some cases, self-regulation tends to be more efficient and effective under which the regulation is passed to consumers. Therefore, the process of rules enforcement, monitoring, and remediation processes is easier and fast. The legislation is the government regulation that is enacted to protect its citizens, more specifically, the consumers for the business sector. Therefore government regulations tend to protect the immediate consumer; however, the impact they might have on the business sectors. Government regulations are often better in situations where the industry may fail to eliminate the unethical behavior known to the public. Therefore regulations become infective where there arises a conflict of interest. Laws enacted by the States may thus force the party concerned to comply with such regulations. The concept of whether legislation or self-regulation should apply depends typically on the issue at hand. It also…

Homicide Introduction Homicide is my point of interest when thinking about life in society. Manslaughter is defined as the ability of one man killing the other man. Homicide can be either illegal or lawful. For example, soldiers who are deployed to counter-terrorism will kill people the terrorists legally. Therefore, choosing black on black homicide and violence is my topic of interest (Greenwood & Wattal, 2015, pp. 15-54). After gaining knowledge about the difference that has been between the blacks and the whites, knowing why the blacks kill their fellow blacks is more interesting. Besides, black males are exposed to homicides more than black women. Background / research topic Homicide is a recurring issue—various places where blacks live practice black on black murder. The leading cause of the killings is the need to revenge. Some blacks feel superior when compared to the others in the society. Instead of facing the whites who colonized them, they face their inferior black members to satisfy their superiority. Homicide is a significant issue for many blacks amongst the American states (Pratt-Harris et al., 2016, pp.…

Student’s name: Instructor’s name: Course title: Date: How does Fritz Leiber use the vampire as a mentor for capitalism in his story, “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes?” “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes” is a story that was written by Fritz Leiber in 1949. It is about a girl who has the identity of the vampire to enthrall and feed the individuals who are not lucky to see her in the adverts she makes. The story has been used to explain the capitalist nature of society. In the capitalist nation, wealth is handled individually. This means that the firms should do all that they can to ensure that they remain competitive enough in the market. The story of Fritz has some magic part of it that hinders the real meaning of the consumerism nature of the economy. This paper will, therefore, explain the relationship between adverts, capitalism, and vampirism based on the story by Fritz Leiber. The modern economists have defined consumerism as the promotion and the protection of the consumers. In this case, the consumers have the right…

“When studying the role of money in the economy, economists usually use a slightly different version of the quantity equation that the one just introduced.” (Mankiw 108) Citation Mankiw, N. Gregory. Macroeconomics. Macmillan International Higher Education, 2019. 108. APA: According to Mankiw (2019), “When studying the role of money in the economy, economists usually use a slightly different version of the quantity equation that the one just introduced.” (p. 108) Reference Mankiw, N. G. (2019). Macroeconomics (p. 108). Macmillan International Higher Education.     Question 2: Some scientists claim we have 20 years to save the world while others claim we have 12 years, but conclusively, they all mean we have limited time to salvage our planet by addressing environmental protection issues. Global climate conferences are held to evaluate the future of the world in the face of global warming. Reports on climate change suggest that carbon dioxide emissions should be reduced by 45 percent by 2030, an aspect that is yet to be achieved. Earlier, top environmental scientists claimed that 2020 was the deadline for corrections on environmental pollution. Therefore, it…

The standard deviation and  VaR techniques Investors usually analyze risks before making investments by using multiple methods such as standard deviation, VaR, CVaR, and beta. The investors are supposed to mitigate the risks after identifying it. The beta method involves the measurement of methodical risks in case of an individual security. The standard deviation method involves the measurement of dispersed data. The SD method helps in identifying the deviation of the current return from previous returns. For example, a high SD stock will have high volatility, and it also implies that the levels of risk associated with the stock are high as well. The method also measures consistency. While making any investment-related decisions, risk management is necessary, and analysts use the method for reducing the levels of risk. Usually, the conventional methods include VaR, standard deviation, beta, and CVaR. The VaR technique is based on statistics, and it is used for assessing the risk level in a portfolio as well as in a company. The method is useful as it measures the highest degree of risks for a specific amount…

Poverty and its relation to health as a social problem The first episode introduces viewers to the poor health statistics in the United States of America in comparison to other fellow industrialized countries. The results are presented to Marmot’s Whitehall Studies, which comes with particular findings. The findings are that health status and wealth status have a steady correlation in a continuous gradient that ranges from extremer poor to extreme wealth. The film addresses poverty and its relation to health as a social problem. There is the usage of people of different levels to represent social class within society. The lives of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the lab supervisor, the janitor, and a jobless mother illustrates well how the social class influences the opportunities of gaining good health. Those at the top class with higher incomes and power influence are in a better position of getting the required resources to obtain good health. On the other hand, those at the bottom are usually the victim of stressors. The stressors are inclusive of unpaid bills, the jobs which are not…

The diverse workforce  The diverse workforce contains employees of different gender and age. Workforce diversity is becoming an essential aspect of most small and large businesses. According to Brown (2017), Workforce diversity is likely to be among the four world’s trends of work soon. For this reason, he credits the workforce diversity as the dictation of specific features is displayed. Also, a scholar, Johnston, recognizes the advantages of a diverse workforce to be more than the disadvantages. He renders a diverse workforce a tool to the increase of productivity (2019). Therefore, it is evident that a diverse workforce is a crucial contribution to the succes s of the richness of both small and large business.
