Shared Economy - A Shared Vacation
For my shared economy idea I thought about the necessity of vacation for working families, couples, ect. My idea would essentially be a shared Airbnb which would reduce the cost of the original vacation. Two or more families could pick a location (L.A. for example) where they could find a semi large house that they would be able to rent but stay in together. In the end, this makes vacations that much cheaper as the bill is split so to speak. In doing so families not only have that much more to spend (money wise) in the city or place they chose to visit but the frequency in which said family takes a vacation may become more probable. The families wouldn’t be required to spend time with each other they simply just sleep under the same roof for x number of nights. This would also be primarily for larger groups of people so that the overall cost would be cheaper. As for solo travelers, this wouldn’t necessarily support them as its almost suspicious. Another way this could be used is to travel with people you know or family friends at a more affordable price while also staying in a more familiar environment. Pets would also be allowed based on the owner's tolerance. The amount of families able to stay would be based on the owners willingness to let multiple families roam throughout the house. In addition, a house can only hold so many and so space may become an issue at a certain point. However, the principal idea still stands, making vacations more affordable for a variety of families and people while still giving them the luxury of choosing where they would like to stay.

The Education Gap

Read an article on a racial issue in America from the last five years, whether it is from an American newspaper or a foreign paper looking at American issues.  Briefly summarize the article information and then respond with what your evaluation as to what is going on, how it is being treated by the press, or anything else that you would like to say about it. The Education Gap Between Whites and African Americans In the United States:  Although we have changed our laws in the years since lawful segregation, the legacy that segregation has left lives on in the present day United States. This is particularly evident in the way we regard education, and even after integration there is still a large gap that lives between the way we education white children and the way we educate African American children. Many of the differences in this lie in the qualification and quality of teachers and curriculum and the contrasts in funding that resides in our school systems. It...

Where voting matters - El Salvador

Ashwin Dev Mr. Roddy IHSS 24 October 2018 Where Voting Matters - El Salvador The Salvadoran presidential elections are going to be held on February 4, 2019 with a second round in March if no candidate wins an outright majority. El Salvador has a limit for a single 5-year term which means that the current president,  Sánchez Cerén  will not be able to run for this election. This election is different from most in the past due to the new political parties law, which says that a single candidate from each party must be chosen before the date of the election. The two parties at the moment are apart of El Salvador's multi-party system which include the National Republic Alliance (ARENA, right wing) and the Farabundo Mart í National Liberation Front (FMLN, left wing) as well as 2 other new parties.  Arena has been out of power since 2009 however they have chosen a man named Carlos Calleja to represent them. Calleja is a 42 year old businessman who owns a chain of sup...

Sharing Economy- Luke

Luke Kirchner       After much thinking, I have realized that sharing economies can be created from almost anything. I decided to make create something about sharing home decor. This would include things like paintings, ornaments and other small things to decorate your house. One challenging thing that would need to be sorted out, would be the value of the objects. Art is very subjective and can be valued very differently by other people. The market would have to establish it self to truly assign a price to different pieces. This would be a great way to make some money off of pieces of art that usually aren't seen and this would allow the renter to spruce up their house.       An app would be used to connect people and would ask for necessary information. This would probably be more localized, so people could drive over and pick up, or vice-versa. Some sort of insurance/waiver would also have to be part of the process, to ensure the rente...
