The question of how internships affect student mental health is in reasonable judgment a meaningful one. Often used by students to gain curricular credit in a major course of study, these experiences can be unpaid, although some paid ones also exist. Considering that income is a key social determinant of health, the question of how internships (especially unpaid ones) are connected to internships is one that can and should be answered.
Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland. They are among some of the coldest countries in the world, so it is a wonder that these nations host some of the happiest people. Why is this? Is it their healthcare? Their music? The food? Maybe even the culture. One would be surprised to find out that it is in fact none of these factors. Instead, the answer lies in the progressive Nordic democracy and complex social systems that make the Nordic countries a model for citizens’ happiness.
In the last few decades, there has been a growth in media depictions of macabre capitalism. It seems that serial killers are the current obsession with streaming services, literature, and film. This has spawned a lucrative business centered on sensationalized accounts of these killers, but why is this so appealing to the public? People are interested in stories about serial killers for a variety of reasons, including a morbid curiosity regarding the motivations behind such crimes and a fascination with the darker side of human nature.
Engaging in a dialogue about gender and economics is not intuitive. Especially, when the main understanding of the economy is based on the global free market, production, and the idea of meritocracy, which leads us to think that this dialogue would be limited to subjects such as equal opportunities between women and men and/or parity; and would leave aside other gendered and economic relationships of domination that are more discrete, normalized, and violent, such as gendered socialization and imposed gender roles. However, the recent resurgence of socio-economic and gender inequalities, and how they are interwoven, has made a deeper exchange necessary. We observe the emergence of an intersectional reflection in both economic and gender terms, which challenges the unequal distribution of wealth, natural resources, and the sexual division of labor.
The PRC’s quasi-control of the world’s markets, including its role as the primary exporter of goods, presents a massive risk to the sovereignty of nations large, like the United States, and small, like Taiwan. Taking into consideration the imperative function that cobalt plays in the building of a successful modern military containing stockpiles of munitions, jets, nuclear weaponry, and modern electronic weapons, and China’s ability to gather intelligence from nearly every country in the world, the PRC has positioned itself to become a dominant world power.
Making increasingly more accurate future stock market price predictions has long been a master objective of portfolio managers, fundamental investors, exchanges, and traders alike. While many long-term investors and short-term traders have somewhat different goals for making price predictions and tend to prefer other analytical methods, both have strategies and models that depend heavily on forecasting returns and making accurate price expectations predictions. Having good price information is essential, but it is less critical than some of the applications derived from price expectation information. No price expectations ever are perfect because markets are very complex adaptive, and evolutionary, chaotic systems that are by nature impossible to predict and have some perpetually novel, not repeatable forces at play.
The buyout of RJR Nabisco in 1988 executed by Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts Co. largely created the private equity market that exists today. The revolutionary deal created an investment strategy that spawned a new standalone asset class. Now, the private equity secondary market, particularly through the rise of GP-led transactions, is bringing about a similar transformation within the financial markets.
Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger system that allows for secure and transparent transactions between parties (Swan, 2015). Initially created to support Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, it has since expanded to various use cases, from financial services to supply chain management. Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin, was designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications, making it a popular platform for developers. However, Ethereum, like other blockchain networks, faces scalability challenges, and Layer 2 scaling solutions have been developed to address this issue. One key innovation that has been enabled by blockchain technology is the concept of smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement written directly into code.
Nostalgia has crept up on us all at some point or another, but now for the first time in history, it has become such a widespread and intense phenomenon that Millennials and Gen Z’s have been dubbed the “Nostalgia Generation”. Were the Hannah Montana movies that good? Is everyone genuinely that attached to the Ice Bucket Challenge and conspiracy theories about hearing subliminal satanic messages when you play an Ariana Grande song backward? Maybe. There are many possible theories behind nostalgia's hold on this generation. One explanation that has come up time and time again in conversation is that of the modern economy, namely the instability of it, and the rise of mass production in American media as a marketing strategy.
