economic crisis faced by Venezuela The content highlights the economic crisis faced by Venezuela. The crisis sparked by years of poor leadership has caused hyperinflation of its currency, food and supply shortages, corruption, high crime rates, and huge public debt. Interestingly, Venezuela was once one of the most prosperous nations in the world due to its large oil deposits; however, years of mismanagement has caused a political and economic crisis in the South American country with no end in sight. The solutions offered are to have different leadership in Venezuela that would create sound political and economic policies. I agree with the solution offered in the content. The biggest problem with Venezuela is political, which has a domino effect on all sectors of the economy. Under President Maduro, there has been a crisis after crisis that has put Venezuela in a negative light. His policies do not seem to work, and he should look beyond personal greed and do what is best for the country.

economy of the US, and the level of job satisfaction for workers The article focuses on the economy of the US, and the level of job satisfaction for workers. From the survey conducted on 5,000 households by the Conference Board Survey, it was established that only about 45% of workers in America were satisfied in their jobs. According to the article, a 45% level of job satisfaction in America is the lowest level that has been recorded in the last 22 years. In 2008, only 49% of those who were surveyed reported to be satisfied in their jobs. The article shows that the huge decline in job satisfaction among American workers can partly be blamed for the worst recession that was experienced since the 1930s, which made it hard for most people to find suitable jobs. It has been indicated that the dissatisfaction has grown steadily for the last two decades because only a few workers consider their jobs as interesting, workers income has not been able to keep up with America’s inflation, and the increased cost of health insurance…
Public and private law Public and private law has for many years remained to be an important branch of law that highlights the relationship between different parties and agencies. Public law refers to the relationship between the government and individuals, and it is an area of law that remains to be significant because of the unequal relationship between the public and the government. Private law, on the other hand, is an essential branch of law that governs the relationship among persons in a legal system, including corporations. A clear review, therefore, shows that this is a type of law that governs the relationship between government and individuals (Rosenfeld, 2013).

Private law is seemingly divided into subdivisions and such as contract law, the law of torts, property law and family, which will be highlighted in this paper.

Peru Trade Promotion Agreement In mid-May 2019, I read an article that was published online by Cambridge University Press. The item had been issued from the ‘American Journal of International Law.’ The article was initially published on 2nd Apr 2019 Volume 113, pages 400-404. Like most of you, I only accessed the information through my most reliable and credible source, ‘The Cambridge Core.’ Concerning the context of the content, I recalled how our government in January 2019 made claims and raised concerns about Peru’s commitment to the bilateral trade agreement. As an insight into the issues that we have witnessed over the years, it’s important to recap some of the landmarks and events that surround the subject matter (Cambridge press, 2019).

Analysis of house prices in Chicago Introduction The real estate industry is a volatile market whereby housing prices can change anytime. Tupenaite et al. (2017) report that housing prices throughout the world have not been consistent since when countries like Germany and Japan have not registered housing booms, countries like France, Spain, and the UK have experienced an increase in housing prices over the same period. Glaesar & Gyourko (2018) assert that positive economic growth leads to a property boom in the USA. Some of the factors that influence the real estate sector in the country are the Consumer Price Index (CPI), per capita income, and mortgage rate. House prices being the dependent variable, we seek to understand how independent variables; prime rate, inflation rate, per capita income, mortgage rate, number of Starbucks openings, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), and change in mortgage rate have contributed to the rise of house prices in Chicago downtown.
