Change is inevitable: At what rate should it occur?

True Dynamism looks to change things too quickly.Lane’s explanation of increased demand for profit is a major cause of the increasing economic gap because it explains the real estate crash in 2008; investors would repeatedly purchase properties, flip them and put the product back on the market at a higher rate. This obsession with more profit led to significantly increased risk-taking in finances and then the market crashed.

The reasoning makes sense when describing how companies have responded to the new nature of the economy since then. This new economy is the demand for constant appreciation by cutting benefits, wages and reducing frequency of raises. This actually makes sense when thinking about the approaching 1099 economy.

However, I maintain reservation towards the proposal of augmented government aggression in the regulation of the economy; it’s important to maintain job security, equal opportunity and maximize social equality, but isn’t there a line that could take away the incentive to be productive?

It is in our nature as animals to resist resistance itself. That is actually a major concern; society is trying too hard to go against our nature against change. IN other words, we as individuals are against change, but as a society, we pursue progress and the reduced practice of traditions.

So what can be taken away from this?

1.Progress cannot be stopped, so traditionalists need to get used to it.

2. If we must constantly change the status quo of our social structure, it is important to maintain a foundation for our moral behavior; this is a plea for the preservation of religion because it offers a definite answer for our existence.

3.We need science in order to further ourselves from a chaotic state.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
