Economy's presence in my life


7773528446 (2).png  Economy is always present in my life. Whether I’m out to dinner with my family, in school or just at home doing chores. Economy is the production, distribution, consumption, of goods and services. It is basically a make, sell, buy and use system. Production would be the farms and factories that make the clothes, grow the food, and manufacture other goods. Distribution are the trucks, trains, boats, and planes that deliver the products from the places where they were produced. This is basically the sell part of the economy. Consumption is buying and using these products that have been made and distributed. Shopping and wearing the clothes or other things that were bought. Goods are the things that are being made sold and bought. Goods are things I use in my everyday life like, computers, clothes, pots and pans, etc. Services is what my mom does for a living and the police officers, nurses, and lawyers.

Be Bothered

   I think it is important to be bothered because it motivates you to do something about what is bothering you. If you are really bothered by something you will try to fix it. For example, Martin Luther King was bothered by the Jim Crow laws telling him what he could and couldn’t do so he tried his hardest to change that. He eventually did and changed the course of history while doing it. Without him or anybody being bothered by that the US would still be separated by something it shouldn’t be. President Obama wouldn’t be able to be president, my parents wouldn't be able to vote, and my sister and I wouldn’t be able to have some of the opportunities we have today. Another example is the Revolutionary War. People were bothered by being under the unfair British rule and did what they could to try to change it. Without the people being bothered we would probably still be under the British rule. And, being bothered by something can help artist write songs. Example, the Dixie Chicks were bothered by George Bush calling war on Iraq. He sent them a letter telling them to not express their opinions using their music. They responded with their song Not Ready To Make Nice.
