Monetary Policy Summary The recent tax cuts and interest rate cuts have helped put the economy back on track. He says that the strong growth of the U.S. economy in recent months is neither an illusion nor an accident, but it reflects good monetary and fiscal policy over the past year. He says that there has been a key surge in consumer spending, and that the main reason for that surge was the enactment of the tax cut in early 2001. He also stated that the repeated reductions by the Fed in short-term interest rates supported the expansionary effect of the tax cut. Even though the interest rate reductions were not enough to prevent the recession that began in March of last year, the lower interest rates did stimulate consumer spending through a variety of channels. Analysis This article is also a good example of how the aggregate demand curve can be shifted by the determinant of monetary policy. Please refer again back to article #4, which explains the principle of the aggregate demand curve. By definition, Monetary Policy is a policy influencing the economy through changes in the banking system’s reserves that influence the money supply and credit availability in the economy. The purpose of monetary policy is to improve the economy by either increasing or decreasing the real income (or GDP) of the U.S. economy so that the economy is running at its potential. The Federal Reserve (The Fed) is responsible for conducting monetary policy for the United States Economy. There are three ways that the Fed conducts monetary policy: 1) Changing the reserve requirement. 2) Executing open market operations (buying and selling bonds). 3) Changing the discount rate. This article talks about the Fed decreasing the discount rate to stimulate the economy. The discount rate is the rate of interest the Fed charges for loans it makes to banks. An increase in the discount or interest rates makes it more expensive for banks to borrow from the Fed. A discount rate decrease makes it less expensive for banks to borrow. This article is talking about how the Fed decreased the discount rate making it easier for banks to borrow, increasing the money supply. The decrease in the discount rate increases the money supply because it lowers the bank=s costs and allows it to borrow more money from the Fed.
According to the Case Management Society of America, case management is "a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's and family's comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost effective outcomes" (Case Management Society of America [CMSA], 2010). As a method, case management has moved to the forefront of social work practice. The social work profession, along with other fields of study, recognizes the difficulty of locating and accessing comprehensive services to meet needs. Therefore, case managers work with these
1.1 Explain evidence, approaches and theories about the benefits of creativity for the well being of children and young people
...would be further motivated to love and study their subjects, and not be just thinking only about grades. If all teachers dedicate their human potential to their students, then students wouldn’t be scared to participate in discussions in spite of many stumbling barriers. The issues Ernest Boyer discusses in “Creativity in the Classroom” are of current interest not only in American educational system, but in my country as well. So,I would recommend this article to be discussed at teachers’ meetings in different types of educational institutions because the criteria of successful and creative teaching the author identifies in his article are universal and simple at the same time: just be dedicated to your job, care about your students, and don’t be afraid to learn and use new ideas in your classroom. Hence, creativity in the classroom often begins with a good teacher.
The Federal Reserve Board uses three monetary tools that affect macroeconomics such as unemployment, inflation, and interest rates, and control the money supply; these tools are known as discount rate, reserve requirements, and open market operations. In The Economy Today Schiller 2010 states that “Monetary Policy is the use of money and credit controls to influence macroeconomic outcomes” (p.309.) It also refers to the actions assumed by the Federal Reserve Board.
As for making the educational system more effective in a way of evolving creativity schools should provide special courses for all students in the beginning of grade school. Courses should indicate activities and interesting assignments that allow the students to figure out what they’re good at and maybe incorporate that hobby, interest into their career later on in life instead of choosing a career that involves no creativity and has no amusement to their
Albert Einstein once said “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that is it stupid.” Sir Ken Robinson stated that schools are destroying children 's creativity with their curriculum, there are many facts that support this idea. Students are required to think a specific way, prepare the way teachers want them to be prepared. Students also have their own opinion, because they are not afraid to be wrong, and need a way to move forward.
In Ken Kesey's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, the author refers to the many struggles people individually face in life. Through the conflict between Nurse Ratched and McMurphy, the novel explores the themes of individuality and rebellion against conformity. With these themes, Kesey makes various points which help us understand which situations of repression can lead an individual to insanity. These points include: the effects of sexual repression, woman as castrators, and the pressures we face from society to conform. Through these points, Kesey encourages the reader to consider that people react differently in the face of repression, and makes the reader realize the value of alternative states of perception, rather than simply writing them off as "crazy."
The book set in Oregon, a staunch liberal state, during some time during the 1950s and 60s, leaves the book written during a time where social change and political unrest plagued the country. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest shows many themes through the Novel as readers go through. One of the Themes, Limitations of Authority vs. an Omniscient Power which can translate to plainly, Democracy vs. Dictatorship is found throughout the book as characters rebell against a dictatorship of sort. This theme is criticized by many readers as it shows through pure fiction, a new light on the world. Ken Kesey uses Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to show readers elaborate details and shocking allusions to show a symbolic representation of how dictatorship fails and democracy rises. Through characters such as McMurphy and Bromden, the main characters in the novel and debatably either could be the protagonist, Ken Kesey shows that the victims of ward can rise up against a secular power, which is perceived as “the combine” but is also personified as Nurse Ratched,regardless of how helpless they may look.
In this notable Ted Talk video "Do schools kill creativity?", Sir Ken Robinson discusses how public education systems demolish creativity because they believe it is essential to the academic growth and success of students. Robinson created a broad arrange of arguments to persuade the viewers to take action on this highly ignored issue, and he primarily focuses on how important creativity is. There are classes within schools that help utilize creativity, but they are not taken seriously by adults in society. Therefore, the value of creative knowledge decreases. Robinson uses an unusual combination of pathos and ethos to make an enjoyable dispute for implementing an education system that nurtures rather than eats away at creativity.

“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status”-Sir Ken Robinson

Creative Arts in early childhood education refers to children’s participation in a variety of activities that engage their minds, bodies and senses (Sinclair, Jeanneret & O’Toole, 2012; Kearns, 2017); to inspire all children with the opportunity for creative and imaginative expression. Duffy (2006) and Sinclair et al. (2012) state that creativity is the process where children use their imagination to problem solve, develop new ideas, independence and flexibility to accomplish tasks. Furthermore, when educators foster creativity, they are assisting children in making meaning through play and developing their growing capacity to communicate, collaborate and think critically to meet the demands of life in the 21st century (Duffy, 2006; Korn-Bursztyn, 2012; Sinclair et al., 2012).
Creative thinking is a lifelong skill that is best learned at a young age. A good imagination can help out in writing, engineering, and special designers. Some colleges would say that creative thinking skills are one of the highest priorities in an education. Roger Glass is a member of South Florida Orff Chapter, which is known for promoting arts as core subjects in education. In his article he writes, “The arts can help students become tenacious, team-oriented problem solvers who are confident and able to think creatively.” (Glass 10). The more creative a person, the easier it is for them to solve problems. Problem solving is not the only skill that can blossom out of creative thinking. For example, determination is also formed. Education programs should have dance as a course for students because of the permanent skills that ensue creative
