My Sharing Economy

For my economy, I tried to choose something that everyone would be interested in at some point or another. Renting out Headphones and Computer Chargers. I think that this would be a very good economy simply due to the amount of times myself or someone else has been asked/asks for a pair of headphones or for a charger. I think that this economy would thrive because it is easy to keep track of, and it is also something that everyone needs. In this school you pretty much always need to have a charged computer and sometimes people prefer to have personalized settings and such which is why they prefer personal computers to school computers. If your computer is dead, you need to charge it and that's when you could come to me to rent a charger. its the same thing with headphones, people are often listening to music, looking around from where I am right now, I see 10 out of 15 people wearing headphones. If I see 67% of people wearing headphones I'm sure that on the occasional occurrence someone forgets that I could make profit off renting them a pair of my own. The way that I would organize this business is by buying a couple cheaper pairs of headphones and chargers (probably apple chargers since that is what a majority of people have here) and keep them clean so they look nice and then rent them to people maybe for $0.50 an hour (I think this is a good price because it sounds really cheap to the customer but if they rent them for a whole morning/afternoon I have enough money to buy a bag of chips). I could just write down who I lent them to or make a google sheet to keep track of profits and who has them, this way I know who to blame (make pay for).

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...
