"Lost World" Discovered

Conrad Hoskin and and the National Geographic film crew found a "lost world". Hoskin and the film crew jumped out of a helicopter and landed on top of  Cape Meville, a mountain range in Australia. They found three new species at Cape Meville. One was a leaf tailed looking gecko, a gold coloured skink, and a yellow boulder-dwelling frog. Hoskin described it as "discovery of a life". It was thought that scientists have explored fairly well, but these new species that were found is amazing, because there could be more to discover in Australia and other parts of the world. Who knows what else we can discover, and hopefully we can discover more species.

Should We Use GDP To Measure Our Economy?

   I believe that GDP is a good method to measure our economy. It focuses on what we use and what we do not use so we can decide whether or not to keep the product. It can also help to see if the economy is able to invest into a new product for the country. We can also use GDP to predict if something bad in our economy will happen. This means we can have time to prepare. This is why GDP is a good way to measure our economy.

Oppurtunity cost in our lives

We don't think about economics too much, but we use it everyday like physics. When we decide on what we will do, we are experiencing oppurtunity cost. We think about what the outcome will we be when we decide on something. We think whether or not the action we make or object that we consider buying is worth our time. For example, when it is lunch time we tend to go to fast
T food restaurants to give us more time to eat and so we have our food quick, but we can also decide on having our lunch prepared before work so we don't have to pay for lunch and won't have to worry about getting back to work in a hurry, but there is the problem that wemay not have the food we want for lunch at home and we may not be able to prepare it as good as someone who is trained to do it. So it comes down to what we think will give us the most efficient way to have lunch.

Government shutdown

Obamacare has a good intentions, but it should be funded by the government not by the tax payers. The Republicans and Democrats need to agree on something quick. People have lost jobs, because of the result of the government shutting down. Even though the government is not not funding the non essential services, a lot of people have lost there jobs, and even though there jobs are considered non essential, to some they are important. If someone wants to get a social security number because they want to live in America, they won't be able to because social security offices are funded by the government and have been shutdown because they are considered non essential services. This shutdown is hurting the country more than what the Republicans think that Obamacare would cause. It is fine if they don't want Obamacare but this shouldn't be the way to get rid of it, because now tax payers are funding Obamacare instead of the government.
