THE, “The Matthew Effect,” with a verse from the New Testament text of the Gospel of Matthew:

For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. ~ Matthew 25:29

In other words: Those who succeed will find even more success. Those who don’t succeed will continue not to (to an even greater extent). It’s also known as the “self-fulfilling prophecy.” This “Matthew Effect” was first coined by sociologist Robert Merton. And to illustrate the point, Gladwell uses the example of the Canadian hockey system for training young athletes. Because of the standard January 1st cut-off date for registrations, anyone with a birthday soon after this day essentially gets an extra year to practice. For this reason, most successful professional hockey players happen to be born in the months of January, February, and March. Certainly, these athletes also have talent. But they also had the advantage of extra practice and development time, merely because of the chance-like circumstances of their birth.

When the price of a capital good increases, what happens to the prices of related consumer goods and services? Why?
valkas [14]
<span>The correct answer is that the consumer goods increase in price too. A capital good would be something like flour and the consumer good would be something like bread. If the price of flour jumps up, so does the price of bread. Governments sometime regulate this to protect the citizen by putting a limit so the price doesn't grow, but it pays for the rest to the baker.</span>

Explain what you think the phrase 'survival of the fittest' means.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

organisms that are best adapted to the environment they are placed in will survive long enough to pass on their genes to their offspring while other organisms will become extinct.

Explanation:

Every now and then an organism in a species will undergo a mutation in their DNA. This mutation could do nothing but it may also lead them to getting, for example, longer legs than their counterparts. This may help them survive longer than other organisms as this mutated adaptation may help them run faster away from predators. These organisms will probably be able to outlive their less fortunate counterparts and they can then pass on their genes to their offspring, who will then gain the same mutated genes which will help them live longer. This continues for generations with the organisms who don't have the more specialised adaptation dying out as they are not able to escape from their predators
