Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter is a political and social movement originating among African Americans, emphasizing basic human rights and equality. Black lives matter started in 2013 when people started using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012 because black people weren't being treated the same. It started because Black people were being treated differently and right now everyone should be treated the same. The year is 2020 and people still act like it's the 1900s!
The purpose of Black Lives Matter is to spread awareness and to make a change for equality. The sad thing is that Black Lives Matter doesn't affect any social class, age, etc, it only affects your skin color which is very sad because no one can control their skin color, so it affects African Americans and people who are dark skin. It isn't only happening in America, protests are happening all over the world like the UK, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, Palestine, Syria, and other places, but it's mostly happening in America. For things to change powerful people need to help.
Protests are happening for Black Lives Matter and I think that what the people are doing is good because they are protesting for equality, but some people are taking advantage of the protests and use it to destroy things which makes people think that all these protests are useless, and the powerful people like lawyers, police officers, the president, the government. etc. aren't doing much.
On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer and 3 others, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was handcuffed face down in the street. Many people were watching but none of them did anything to help George Floyd because they were not powerful enough. This all happened because George Floyd was suspected of giving a counterfeit $20 bill. This makes me very sad because George Floyd did nothing to deserve this and black people are being treated like this every day just for having a dark skin color which is something they can't control. Black people are given stereotypes, if you're black you are a “thief”, a “killer” and many more racist stereotypes that have nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. Black people are being treated brutally and are being killed by white people who think they are the most superior race.
George Floyd, Sean Reed, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Ariane McCree, Steven Demarco Taylor, Terrance Franklin,David McAtee, Natosha “Tony'' McDade,Yassin Mohamed, Kwame “KK'' Jones, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, these are all names of unarmed blacks who were shot and killed by white supremacists, and there's even more but they are too many to name.
Dylann Roof Kills 9 and he is arrested peacefully, Patrick Crusis kills 28 and he is also arrested peacefully, but Eric Garner who Killed 0 people allegedly sold illegal cigarettes choked to death while stating “I can’t breathe”.George Floyd Killed 0 people, allegedly wrote a bad check murdered on camera.
The phrase ”All Lives Matter '' is a phrase used in response to “Black Lives Matter” but it does not represent the same thing. People say it and it is wrong, all lives don't matter until black lives do! You can't just say “all lives matter '' when it's black lives that are suffering. ‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter, it's just that right now black lives are the ones that are suffering the most and we should try our best to help them.

Explain how the Cold War differed from prior wars.(19 points)
Answer:
Cold war was a war like never before. Cold War was mainly focused between the NATO and Warsaw countries. Some say it was a standoff of the 2 superpowers United States of America and the USSR( Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). The reason it was so special is because there wasn't any direct battles between the USSR and USA. THe closest they got to a war was when the Americans sent 15 Tanks to the Berlin wall and stayed there. The Dictator of the Soviet Union Michail Sergeevich Gorbachev was enraged at this and sent 24 soviet T-50s to the gate the Americans stood at. For 20 hours the whole world held their breath as the 2 superpowers flew their flags upon their tanks so close to each others the Operators of the tank battalions on each side could make out each others flags.

Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.
Answer:
This is a situation where there is an inadequate increase in equilibrium quantities, which causes an ambiguous imbalance in equilibrium prices.
Explanation:
As seen in the question above, students stopped buying pencils, due to their allergy to rubbers, and started to buy pens. This causes a change in the balance between these two products, this change was not made by factors such as scarcity or better quality, but because of the students' allergy, which shows that the change in balance was made in an unequivocal manner.
However, there are many students who still buy the pencils, and the ink from the pens comes at a high price. This causes the change in the equilibrium price of these products to be ambiguous because demand and supply may fall or rise together, not allowing a forecast of price changes.

The Chinese recently announced an end to their one-child policy. How would Thomas Malthus react to China’s one-child policy?
Answer:
Malthus was very concerned about unchecked population growth.
Explanation:
As a matter of opinion, I think it would be safe to say that Thomas Malthus would be in favor of the one-child policy because it would be a limit to the exponential growth in population we have undergone since his time. He was worried about our rapid growth in population and not being able to sistaine resources. He famously proposed 2 ways to keep our population in check, by means of "moral restraint" which China's policy would fall under or by means of natural plagues, famine various disease and even warfare.
