Answer:

a. Macroeconomics

b. microeconomics

c. microeconomics

d. macroeconomics

e. microeconomics

f. macroeconomics

Explanation:

Since Macroeconomic studies the performance of the economy as a whole, The unemployment rate, inflation and consumer price index are part of Macroeconomics studies because they are economic indexes which are aggregated indicators of the whole economy. ‘The unemployment rate in the United States was 5.1 percent in September 2015’ applies to macroeconomics because its referring to the performance of the labour market across all the industries in a national level. ‘ U.S. output, adjusted for inflation, increased by 2.4 percent in 2014’ also applies to macroeconomics because is measures the production of goods and services from every national industry. Finally, ‘consumer price index rose by 0.2 percent from August 2014 to August 2015’ also applies to macroeconomics since it measures the change in prices of all the goods and services in the economy.  

On the other hand, Microeconomics focuses on studying the behaviour of the different economic actors such as individuals and firms, following this, changes in prices of individual goods -such as oranges or a bank loan business interest rates- belong to the Microeconomics branch. Alterations in individual firms’ employment demand also applies to microeconomics, it’s referring to the theory of the firm of the firms which studies the firms decision making to maximize profits.

What effect did duties on british goods have on trade between states?
Sliva [168]
<span>Many states restricted British imports, but they did not all impose the same duties, or taxes, on foreign goods. The British took their goods to the states with the lowest taxes. From there they moved those products to the other states. The states tried to prevent the British from exploiting the different trade laws by levying tariffs on British goods that crossed state lines. The Congress could not address the problem because it had no power to regulate commerce. Each state was beginning to act independently, which threatened the unity of the new nation.</span>

Political philosophies helped shape the foundations of American government. Many strongly believed that government should be in
mario62 [17]

The question asks, "What is YOUR philosophy?"  I can't really tell you what YOU should think ... but I can present for you the ideas of a couple different political philosophers who took opposing stands on the issue.

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were both English philosophers who wrote during the 17th century.  

Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan </em>in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast.  Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    The people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  That was Hobbes' view.

John Locke famously published <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government </em>in 1690.  According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government. </em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government, </em> Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.  Locke always favored the people remaining in charge, and asserted that the people have the power to change their government and remove government leaders if the government is not properly serving the needs and well-being of the people.  

As you write your own answer to this question for your class, you will want to decide, perhaps, if you agree more with Hobbes, that security and stability are most important ... or with Locke, that the authority and liberty of the people are always paramount.

Discuss three contributing factors that led to the human rights violation Xenophobia ​
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The three most important factors contributing to xenophobic violence are political leadership, lack of conflict resolution processes, and very few prosecutions

Manifestations of xenophobia include acts of direct discrimination, hostility or violence and incitement to hatred. Xenophobic acts are intentional as the goal is to humiliate, denigrate and/or hurt the person(s) and the “associated” group of people.

Xenophobia, or fear of strangers, is a broad term that may be applied to any fear of someone who is different from us. Hostility towards outsiders is often a reaction to fear. 1 It typically involves the belief that there is a conflict between an individual's ingroup and an outgroup.
