Identify an investment decision that you, someone you know, or someone fictitious has made (for example, stocks, bonds, real estate, a car, a house, a degree or certificate, et cetera): How do you think the concept of supply and demand impacted the investment decision?

 
A key concept in economics and finance is the time value of money.
Most investment decisions, like buying a house, paying for your education, or starting a business, involve making a payment up front in order to earn a return later. (You pay money out at one or more points in time and later receive your benefits based on the investment’s agreement.)
Additionally, economic factors such as supply and demand can play an important role in your investment process. If there is a huge supply of houses available in a neighborhood you like, housing prices in that neighborhood may go down due to a lack of current demand. Therefore, you as the buyer have more power and may be able to make an offer that is lower than the initial asking price.  
Alternatively, in a neighborhood that is very much in demand and low in available housing, the housing prices may be higher and you may need to offer to pay more to compete with other offers for a home there.
Decisions in investments can end in a variety of ways. Applying your problem solving skill and critical thinking strategies can help you successfully analyze opportunities to bring the best benefits for your efforts. Adjusting for the time value of money lets you calculate if the rewards are worth the wait so that you can arrive at an informed decision before you commit your money.
Initial Post: Identify an investment decision that you, someone you know, or someone fictitious has made (for example, stocks, bonds, real estate, a car, a house, a degree or certificate, et cetera):
How do you think the concept of supply and demand impacted the investment decision?
Now that you understand the time value of money, how could we use our problem solving skill (especially critical thinking strategies) to rethink the decision in the future?

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”NET NEUTRALITY IS the idea that internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon should treat all content flowing through their cables and cell towers equally. That means they shouldn’t be able to slide some data into “fast lanes” while blocking or otherwise discriminating against other material. In other words, these companies shouldn’t be able to block you from accessing a service like Skype, or slow down Netflix or Hulu, in order to encourage you to keep your cable package or buy a different video-streaming service.” – Having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service cannot do anything that would prioritize some information over others or censor any information. Not having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service can control how information passes through their network, effectively giving them the power to censor information for their customers. Read the following list of pros and cons for net neutrality: As of 2017, the Trump administration changed the regulatory classification of the internet which effectively removed all net neutrality protection at the federal level. It’s now up to the states as to whether or not to create net neutrality rules. Currently Georgia only has legislation preventing the state from entering into contracts with companies that can’t certify their net neutrality. There is no other legislative protections. Find one of your Georgia state government representatives: Write a letter either:Expressing your support for net neutrality and encouraging new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection or Expressing your opposition to net neutrality and encouraging no consideration of new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection.

Conclusion
Introduction
· It defines or identifies the general topic, provides an appropriate context for describing the available methods found in the literature. 
Body
· It summarizes individual studies or articles with as much or as little detail as each merits according to its comparative importance in the literature, remembering that space (length) denotes significance.

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy. Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

 
The economic growth and trade competitiveness of countries can be influenced by the economic, political, and cultural development within the country. There are several countries that can be compared to see how a successful economy’s decisions differed from a less-successful economy.
Step 1: Select Economies
Review the pairs of economies listed below. Each pair has 1 highly successful country and 1 less successful country, except for NAFTA /EU.

NAFTA vs. European Union (world’s two largest economic entities)
China vs. India (world’s two most populous countries)
South Korea vs. North Korea (two polar economic opposites, one people)
Venezuela vs. Saudi Arabia (world’s two largest sources of oil reserves)
Nigeria vs. Democratic Republic of the Congo (functioning government and civil order vs. struggling government and violent clashes among factions; note: the Republic of the Congo is not the same country as the Democratic Republic of the Congo)

Research the economies for your chosen pair of countries.
Compare similarities and differences between your chosen countries/economies.
Step 2: Create a Presentation – Evaluate Economic Growth and Advantages
In a 12- to 16-slide presentation with detailed speaker’s notes and visual elements, including graphs and tables, explain how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and trade competitiveness.
Use tables or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your 2 chosen economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle):

GDP per capita growth over time
Inflation rate over time
Unemployment rate over time
Exports as a percentage of GDP over time
National government debt as a percentage of GDP

Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart.
Evaluate why the economic growth of the 2 economies/countries varied.

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy.
Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

Analyze how the failure to use value-added trade measures distorts trade statistics.
Examine at least 2 industries that have provided each economy a comparative advantage in world trade.
Cite at least 2 academically credible sources.
