Applying Supply and Demand:  Real World Examples

For this assignment, you need to explain how two different graphs may apply to current-news articles (not a blog, not Wikipedia, not an opinion article, not from a journal) that implicitly (not directly) describe two different changes in demand and supply.  The learning objective is to understand how supply and demand impacts markets and prices.

Assignment Instructions:

• Find two (current) news articles on the Internet that IMPLICITLY describe shifts in the supply curve and/or in the demand curve and illustrate two different graphs. In other words, the articles MUST NOT directly say which graphs to use.  For example, inappropriate articles would be the ones with titles like “demand is short”, “excess supply”, “high demand”, and so on.  Instead, the titles must be about changes in prices and/or sales (watch video below for more guidance).  The article must be recent (within the last six months), and MUST NOT be from an encyclopedia, journal, or reference website that discusses demand and supply. DO NOT use blogs.  Use well-established business web sites like “google.com”, or “yahoo.com”.  To get a better idea, please watch the embedded video below.
• The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a particular product. You then have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes in price and quantity experienced by the product you choose.  RECOMMENDATION: READ THE SAMPLE PROJECT: Under the Getting Started link.
• Summarize the articles. (Do not quote the article, but explain it as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or paraphrases, remember that citations and referencesare required.)  If you use more than one article, then citations are required.
• Explain which two graphs in our collection – A, B, C, or D – illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in equilibrium quantity.  Remember to illustrate the shifts shown in at least two of the four graphs.
• Some articles may describe a situation where both curves shift.  This is not common but it is possible.
• Do use paragraphs in your post. And do remain focused on what is in the article.
• Provide a full URL link to the article along with an APA-formatted reference to the article at the bottom of your submission.
• Important: This is a Microeconomic course. Do not choose an article discussing Macroeconomic issues: Inflation, unemployment, trade deficit, government budget deficit, etc.

To receive full credit, your submission must be at least at least 750 words long, excluding the reference and the article link information.

Now click on the “Final Research Assignment” title at the top of the page and submit your assignment as a Word Document.

Assume you have been hired as a training consultant by a medium sized technology company.  Your client company has asked you to develop and make a presentation for an employee training and career development program. The majority of the company’s employees are entry level programmers and developers and help desk technicians, but they also employ administrators and administrative assistants. The client company is looking for a training program which can be used for all of their employees. The goal of the training program is to introduce the new employees to the company, their culture, their product offerings and the company expectations. The training should also re-familiarize veteran employees to the company mission to create a sense of excitement towards carrying out the vision.

Discussion

Pelvic Screening Test, Education, and Counseling

Janice, 21 years old, introduces herself to a nurse practitioner for a check-up. It is noted that Janice is sexually active, and her boyfriend uses condoms when having sex, but Janice has never had a pelvic exam before.

Screening Tests

Janice is an asymptomatic patient, and the nurse practitioner should do a pelvic screening examination to check for specific symptoms. The tests include:

Physical exam; the nurse practitioner will palpate Janice’s abdomen and pelvis to examine her uterus and ovaries to check their size and shape and if there are any tender areas or unusual growths and other irregularities. External visual exam; the nurse practitioner will look for Janice’s vulva to check for redness, irritation, swelling, sores, and other abnormalities. Internal visual exam; speculum will be used next by the nurse practitioner to spread open Janice’s vaginal walls to check any symptoms in her cervix and vagina (Mealey et al., 2019). Pap test; the test will be done to screen for cervical cancer; here, the nurse practitioner will collect a sample from Janice’s cervical cell to perform this test (Mealey et al., 2019). 

Education and Counseling

The nurse practitioner will educate Janice on the methods of preventing sexually transmitted infections and pelvic inflammatory diseases (de Andrade et al., 2018). Additionally, the nurse practitioner will counsel Janice to continue practicing healthy sex practices by maintaining one partner and making sure her boyfriend uses condoms whenever they have sex (de Andrade et al., 2018). Furthermore, the nurse practitioner should inquire how often Janice does sex and if frequently, she/he should advise Janice to have a regular pelvic screening schedule (de Andrade et al., 2018). Also, if Janice has any infection, the nurse practitioner will educate her on how to get treatment.

this should be turned into a complete essay/article and add at least 100 more words with cited evidence 

My article of decision as per my theme is Web-based media’s commitment to political misperceptions in U.S. Official races. The article was distributed by Plos one diaries. 

Reason: The motivation behind this article is to educate how online media stages like writings, digital broadcasts, and recordings are utilized to make and get out counterfeit word. The article portrays how evidently you are assuming an impartial political part; web-based media stages can be available to clients with no separation. 

Crowd: residents of America. From the article, the writer is attempting to disclose to the overall population of America how web-based media stages are generally utilized, and the incorrect data streaming across them has a prominent. 

Kind: logical report. The article can be portrayed as a logical report as its distribution depended on experimental proof and it underpins theory with unique examination. For example, the scientists utilized a three-wave board review with a delegate of American residents during the official appointment of 2012 and 2016, (Garrett, 2019). 

Position: the position of the article is that the writer concurs that web-based media utilize impacted misperceptions in the 2021 official political race in America and that this impact was generally articulated among solid sectarians 

Media/plan: in order text. The conveyance strategy for the article was composed discourse. 

The writer of the article utilized the logical strategy to illuminate the overall population regarding America on how web-based media like tweeter, Facebook, messages assume an essential part in confusion during the political decision. He utilized the 2021 and 2016 official races to evaluate whether the utilization of media stages advanced underwriting of power data concerning major official competitors. From the article, the writer concurred that web-based media utilize impacted the distortion of the 2012 races. Scientists utilized logos, for example, measurements whereby they gathered information from a couple of three-wave board overviews directed during the 2012 and 2016 U.S. Official Races, (Nordquist, 2019). During every political decision, specialists could gather information from a huge, delegate, overall public example of Americans who reacted to similar arrangement of review inquiries at three focuses during the political race cycle. From the broke down information, the creator concurred that the utilization of online media for political data can advance support of misrepresentations about major political competitors.
