China Economic Problems There is a good chance that one is likely to lose money when buying a call, even if the stock market will slowly recover. Purchasing a call option means that I will purchase the underlying stock at a strike price within a certain time period. This will give me the right to purchase stock at that certain price until the predetermined date expires. However, the value of my call option will be determined by how fast the stock rise. If the stock is equal to my strike price, then I will lose my money on the call because the contract will be invaluable. Also, if the stock price is lower than the strike price, I will also lose my money, and the contract will be worthless. Therefore, for my call option to make profits, the stock price has to be more than the strike price. There is a risk at speculating stock prices at such a time. Even if the country manages to get a grip on this disease and the economy starts improving, people…

Social Change and Policy Change Neo-liberalism supports free markets where resources are allocated in relation to supply and demand and encourages individualism, where citizens are expected to rely on themselves and the market for provision. Therefore, in the world of conservatism, the government rarely passes policy changes advocated by social problems as the government’s focus is on reducing its social responsibilities. Neo-liberal policies, such as those in the Chilean constitution, especially make it difficult to address social problems. In some cases, when the government passes policies, the actual reason behind the support is not the social change, but the reduction in responsibility that it offers or if it of political interest. Despite its economic success story, Chile is experiencing many social problems. Years of suffering pushed people to demand a constitutional change. A change that would address social issues, such as inequality, by safeguard the rights of the people and allowing citizen participation in the formation of policies and other political decisions.

Labor Union Formation and Activity In the past, mainly blue-collar workers and white-collar workers whose pay were low formed unions to deal with issues such as poor working conditions, long hours, and low pay. Nowadays, employees in tech companies such as Google, with the best salaries and working environments, are beginning to push towards the formation of unions. There is an evident need for more union activities, and this is the case, globally. Employers are trying to relieve themselves from responsibilities such as pension coverage and health insurance. They are also making jobs less secure. Thus, workers need the bargaining power and collective voice that unions provide, now as much as ever. Although most unions behave ethically, others do not, engaging in the monopolization of the human resource supply to force employers to pay higher wages. In 2019, there was an intense debate in Kickstarter between the management and workers on whether images of people punching Nazis in a comic book should be allowed to raise funds on their platform. This was the tipping point for the workers, as…
