"Sell Your Garden"
The peer to peer business that I am going to invent is called “Sell Your Garden.” This business is going to be on an app where garden owners can put their location and list the items that they want to sell. Since this is only for fresh produce, people will sell vegetables, fruits, and even products made from bees. Essentially, all natural products that come out of one’s garden (or hive). If someone wanted some fresh produce and didn’t want to go to a faraway farmer’s market, they could look on this app for someone in the neighborhood that might be selling fresh produce. Once they find someone on this app that is near them and is selling the produce that they want, this person will then message the other person who is selling the produce that he/she is going to stop by and what fruits or vegetables they want. When he/she arrives at this house, the person with the garden will go get these items and then he/she will get paid.
The reason why this idea would be a success is that many people are looking for fresh produce for a cheaper price. If someone were to have a garden, most likely that person isn’t going to use up all their produce. So now the person with the garden has an excessive amount of produce and would prefer to sell it to make some money. Then you have people who want cheap/fresh produce who can make quick stops at their local neighborhood to pick up these vegetables or fruits. Although, one might be wondering why doesn’t this person just sell at a farmers market, or for the buyer to just go to Whole Foods and buy fruits and vegetables. First off, farmers markets might not be accessible to everyone, so it’s harder to sell their extra produce. Second, the people that want to buy this fresh produce don’t want to spend tons of money at these name brand stores if they would rather support a local garden business that was close by. This idea clearly shows a peer to peer business.

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...
