The Great Depression.

1. Because the economic panic took over the United States when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed, and In one day, 16.4 million shares traded hands.

2. Stock prices were only about 20% of what they were just 3 years before then.

3. 44% of the banks were out of business.

4. The people lost work because nobody had any money to buy or produce anything.

CH. 2.2 15-17, and 21

15.natural resources. i think they are used the most. such as wheat and cattle. coal, iron, and oil.

16.I think its true in some sort, and false in another. America does focus on individual achievements, but its of more then just one group of society, so therefor America is focusing on the needs of society as well.


17.Nonrenewable resources we will never get back, so by recycling renewable resources we can save some of our nonrenewable resources and then if something happens where we need them, we will have enough to keep going and not be ran down into the dirt.


21.Yes because everything's effected by the decisions made in the economy.

Ch 1. Write about it

16. So basically the more you advertise, the more people will know about your business, and the more money you will make. Even though market research can get costly its still a good thing to do. Market research provides businesses with information about their customers, their competitors and overall their industry.





17. They let me compare different prices,and qualities of a product before i buy.





18. anything i buy can affect businesses. Such as my phone company. I use US Cellular because they have great service, and prices. They may not have as cool as phones as say Sprint, or Verizon, but im happy with the service that i get at US Cellular.

-KWL-

What do you know about business in the areas of finance, investing, marketing, entrepreneurship, and types of businesses?
I know that a lot of businesses are struggling right now because of the economy, and i know it would be very hard to run a business in this economy. Not being able to buy and sell things would for sure take a toll on how well the business succeeds.
Investing seems risky to me, but then again i dont really know all that much about it. I really dont even know what entrepreneurship is, but marketing could be interesting and insightful if i knew more about it.


What are some things you would want to know about business in this class?
If i were ever to open my own business or something in that area, i would want to know how to control it, and not become poor off of it. I would want to be able to make a living off of my business. i would like to learn more about the marketing world as well.
