Buying a new home can either be an exciting experience in someones life, or can be a major heache with serious consequences. I was fortunate enough to get a house the a VA loan, and the process was somewhat more simple, because I did not have to do the majority of tasks by myself. I advise all of my friends and family, or whomever wants to purchase a home to consider many factors before making that decsions. Principles of economics plays a vital role in the decision making process when wanting to purchase a home. At the time, when I bought my house I didn’t know this but now since I am more knowledgeable on the economical principles, I realized I was applying all these steps unintentionally. Overall buying my home, was a major decision, and I know realize the consequences if not considering factors such as the economy, marginal cost and benfits, or even the right timeing of the supply and demand.
Principles of Economics
The principles of economics are what consumers use on a regular basis when dealing with trade, cost, products and services. This relates to my purchase decision when I bought my house because every principle neeed to be considered. Here is how for example considering people face trade offs. This principle is based on giving up something else to get one thing. In this particular case, I sold one of my vehicles to help me make the down payment on my home. This to me was a sacrifice.
Another principle that applied to me was the cost of something is what you give up to get it. I felt that buy selling my vehicle was a daring sacrifice, but I really wanted a home so, I sold my vehicle so my family and I could have more space and better living conditions. Then last but not least is the principle of people responding...

... to purchase any item, and if done at the correct time, can produce excellent results. One thing I have learned in taking this ecomomics course is that the economy is the brain of the world. This is how investors get rich, businesses profit, and cosumers can purchase the products and services they deserve. A great ecomonmy allows more opportunities to make better purchasing decisions.

The Island of Mocha in the video is an example of a traditional economic system evolving into a market system. Every person plays a key role in this traditional system. They had fisherman, coconut collector, melon seller, lumberman, barber, doctor, preacher, brownies seller, and a chief. The Mochans got sick of trading goods all across the island just to get the things that they want or needed. The Chief decided that they would use clam shell for currency instead of trading.

In Utilitarianism, J.S. Mill gives an account for the reasons one must abide by the principles of Utilitarianism. Also referred to as the Greatest-happiness Principle, this doctrine promotes the greatest happiness for the greatest amount of people. More specifically, Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism, holding that the right act is that which yields the greatest net utility, or "the total amount of pleasure minus the total amount of pain", for all individuals affected by said act (Joyce, lecture notes from 03/30).

I used all 6 principles in my argument. The task was to persuade approximately 15 leaders of departments to support a company-wide switch of a database software. I believe I was able to successfully persuade the group to agree to the switch because I used all 6 principles. Here is how I employed them in order to persuade the
During the term I learned about how the real world actually works and the complexities of day to day life. I can apply my knowledge to my everyday life. One thing that surprised me was how much influence the public opinion had on economics. One of the lessons taught me how sometimes comparative advantage is better than absolute advantage. The knowledge I gained from the lesson can be used when I work. Inflation is an issue that everyone can be affected by. During time of inflation, I learned to keep some physical asset, such as gold, which I could sell for a higher price.

The principles of influence are essential to establish how people perceive you. Most of the times how people see or perceive us in social life is not at all accurate. However, in business life is very important that people perceive us in a certain way in order to improve our influence in others, and continuously improve negotiation skills. Two of the six principles of influence established by Robert Cialdini that I see mostly in my daily life are reciprocity and liking. As a student, reciprocity is always in everyone's interest because you always help someone in order to have a good relationship with the other person, and you expect them to be willing to return the favor in case you need it. Another principle I see very often is liking. A

The principle of utility is based on the greatest amount of happiness an action results in to the largest quantity of people who are affected by the consequences (Mill 89). Mill believes people should sacrifice as much as they can from their own possible happiness so that more people may obtain equal happiness that is sufficient. In doing so, those who are aiding others are creating a society of ultimate happiness where everyone is content. Thus, Mill argues for quantity over quality to the extent where everyone has just enough contentment that they do not feel pain or deprivation. For example, according to the principle, if in the future there is an unbiased computerized system for selecting organ donors, those who are selected to donate their organs to two or more people are obligated to do so. In doing so, the single individual is saving the lives of a greater number of people, and thus creates more happiness than if he alone lived and the two or more people died.
Buying and owning your home is part of the American dream. Although the dream itself has since changed, the home still remains the main focal point. Today owning a home doesn’t necessarily mean a house. People now buy duplexes, cooperative apartments, and condominiums. For some families it could take up to a couple of generations before it’s able to have the capabilities of buying a home. To many people it means a certain achievement that only comes after years of hard work. It is a life altering decision and one of the most important someone can make in their lifetime. The reasons behind the actual purchase could vary. Before anything is done, people must understand that it’s an extraneous process and it is a long term project.
