The Rational Consumer's Choice Between Market, Non-market and Leisure Activities
(14 Pages, 167.3 USD)
|
|
A 14 page paper discussing how changes in work and society affect consumers' choices in how they will spend their time. The superficial view is that greater labor-saving devices and other factors work to create greater availability of leisure time, but one author notes, "Greater exertion at work results in a higher wage, but less energy to devote to consumption and leisure activities." This is in conflict with the theory that greater material success results in greater leisure time. In the "real" world, busy people must make choices in how they will spend their time. Those choices include market, non-market and leisure activities. The purpose here is to describe how rational consumers allocate their time between the three. The annotated bibliography lists 14 sources and accounts for half of the paper's length.

Children can be as stressed as adults, and teens are under increasing pressure to compile a resume acceptable to college admissions counselors.

Some of the chores that must be done can become family projects, and some wonderful family times have arisen from such work times. Even so, we need to strive to reclaim balance in our lives, and restore some of the leisure time we lost over the past several years. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Outline for a Paper on “The Legalization of Gambling: Its Social Impact and the Reasons for Its Continuation”
(3 Pages, 35.85 USD)
|
|
This is a 3 page outline discussing the points needed for a paper on the legalization of gambling and its social impact. However, the outline concludes with the continuation of legal gambling opposed to possibilities of banning it. An outline involving the legalization of gambling and its social impact includes various elements: the history of gambling on a worldwide scale; the history of gambling in the United States; and the impact of the legalization of gambling on a psychological, sociological and economic scale among other factors. The negative impact of legalized gambling has been found to be mainly socioeconomic in that people who become addicted gamblers often end up not only ruining their own lives financially and socially but also the lives of those around them. From a psychological perspective as well, gambling addiction must be treated similar to other addictions and therefore requires financial assistance to administer recovery programs. The positive impact of gambling is largely economic in nature by providing communities and state governments which much needed funding and employment opportunities in addition to the fact that many people enjoy gambling as a leisure activity. Despite the negative aspects related to gambling however, most researchers seem to conclude that banning gambling would not only be ineffective in stopping compulsive gamblers who may increase their risk by continuing to gamble but that banning gambling will take away some of the fundamental rights expected within the U.S.; freedom of decision-making and individual responsibility. Individuals currently have the freedom to decide whether or not to take part in the leisure activity of gambling or not; if this freedom were to be taken away it would negatively affect the nation’s moral health.
