Jages and Supply and Demand

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1. How do we decide how much each person in society should be paid?

The highest paying jobs in society typically have a combination of two factors: 1) they are highly specialized, that is to say, difficult to perform, 2) they have a high demand.

Two examples are: medical specialists, and CEOs.

Why do some jobs receive high wages while others do not? Do wages

reflect what types of jobs our society values?

Jobs that receive higher wages, again, are either more difficult to do, or have a higher demand, or are more scarce.

This does reflect in part what types of jobs our society values, however, not all high paying jobs are well valued, and some low paying jobs enjoy prestige.

2. Using what you know about supply and demand and labor, explain

how changes in supply and demand couple impact employment and jobs

In the current economic crisis, we have seen a reduction in the demand for jobs, because most firms are either selling less, or have simply gone out of business.

This has led to higher unemployment, since many people have been fired and cannot find new places where to be hired.

(100 points!!!) The 1970s saw a growth in the conservative movement in politics and society. How did this

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Throughout the 1970s, the United States went through a lot of change both politically and as a society. One way the US changed was through women’s rights. Organizations such as NOW started to create awareness on the discrimination towards women in the workplace. One example of this is the equal rights amendment. Even though this amendment was not passed, it still created a big impact on the life of women. Women had more benefits and work since maternity leave was not secured and fair divorce laws enacted. There were also more women’s study programs introduced and the number of female elected officials increased. Another change was affirmative action. Throughout the 1970s, minorities started to speak out for equality. Acts like the Equal Employment Opportunity Act and the Bakke v. University of California were ways in which the minorities could gain equality. In the Bakke vs. University of California, the Supreme Court decided that the university could not use fixed quotas in making admissions decisions. Lastly there was also some religious Reawakening throughout the 1970s. Some examples of this are the fact that there were many religious groups at the time. one of the most famous religious leaders is Martin Luther King Jr. These groups spoke out for equality in a peaceful way.

American leaders liked the ideas of John Locke?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

We can say they liked his ideas, as Thomas Jefferson included some of them in the Declaration of Independence. His ideas influenced the ideas of Enlightenment, but also the ideas of Founding Fathers.

Explanation:

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence he used the ideas of John Locke. The idea of life and liberty were among those ideas that Jefferson included in the final text. That is one of the main reasons why we can say that John Locke's ideas were definitely liked by American leaders.
