Thesis, Conclusion, Repeat

1. a) The United States and Israel have a unique relationship, In which, the USA gives foreign aid to Israel but, as the years have gone on Its as though Israel dose not need us anymore. So that leaves one with the question whether America should continues to militarize the Middle East under President Obama’s policy as America did under George W. Bush.
b)Through the history of the United States and Israel’s relationship, I think one can find that America should not continue to militarize Israel. About Twenty or more years ago providing aid to Israel was the right thing to do in the effort of preventing the expansion of the Soviet Union and to build a home for the Jews. Today, being allies with Israel would be the smart thing. However, we should not provide any economic aid to Israel while we are in a financial crisis of some sort. Furthermore, the United States should not continue to militarize Israel under Obama’s administration as America had under Bush’s administration. While we have conflict with the Middle East and until the conflict is resolved, we should not be militarizing a Middle Eastern state that could easily turn on us. For we already made a mistake in giving Israel bombs to destroy trenches of the guerilla group of Lebanon. They could have easily betrayed us and used the bomb on us. Overall, Israel and the United States have a unique relationship that should be handled carefully. And to handle it carefully, under Obama’s administration, we should not continue to militarize Israel.

2. a)Obviously, there are several factors that can add up to the reason’s McDonalds makes up 75 percent of the burger market. However, one factor that contributes to this is McDonalds engages in price discrimination. For example, let’s look at the Big Mac; without a doubt when asked “who sells Big Mac’s,” the answer replied would be McDonalds. It would be the only reply heard because no body eles makes Big Mac’s. With this being said, we can gather McDonalds is a Monopoly. By being a monopoly the business has complete control of a market that makes it possible to engage in price discrimination.
b)In conclusion, Mcdonald’s is a monopolistic company that engages in price discrimination to continue making up 75 percent of the burger market. If they did not continue to engage in price discrimination, it would result in failure to meet revenues to keep the business a float. McDonalds would not maximize in profits because they would not reach several segments of the market. Because, each segment values each item McDonalds has to offer at a different price.

3. a)As kids, my little brother and I have always been taught that “sharing is caring.” However, when it comes to Easter we were always put into a prisoner’s dilemma situation. Since I was the oldest, I was rather clever and quick in comparison to my brother. I found that if I got up early before mom and dad woke I could find where all the Easter eggs were prior to the actual Easter egg hunt. However, my brother caught on to my ways, and began waking up early too.
b)However if my brother and I could have both received the maximum number of eggs by not getting up early, we both would have cooperated. For example, if we both receive 45 eggs by not getting up early and could receive no more than 45 in any other instances, we both would have cooperated.
