Law of supply and demand The relation between the law of supply and demand work based on the customer and the seller of the commodity on the market. It is a theory that is set to define the relationship between the supply of merchandise with respect to consumer demand. According to Huang et al. (2018), the law states that the demand of the product increases when the supply is low and at a low price but decreases when the amount is high and at a high price. On the other hand, more products are supplied to the market when there is a high demand at a high price. However, the rate of supply reduces when the price is low and even when there are many customers on the market. For instance, in December the price of a shirt was so high at the cost of Ksh600 while the normal price cost Ksh200. I had no choice but to buy it because many customers also wanted it. This high price was due to high demand, and the suppliers ware few hence…

Ethical decisions In multiple instances, ethical decisions are made in alignment with societal norms, the laws of an organization, or the laws of the land (Schwartz, 2016). As per (Robbins and Judge, 2019), ethical decision making may be based on three yardsticks, utilitarianism, impartiality, and whistleblowing. There are other instances where all choices that have to be made are followed by negative outcomes, and the yardsticks may not be applicable.  For instance, I read a scenario about two colleagues working in a casino—both of the staff work in the IT division. One day, one of the colleagues, call him Tom, happened to require a file from the other colleague, call him James. James was not around that day, but Tom could get access to James’ computer. Since Tom knows James’s password, he accessed his computer and sent himself the needed file. When about to log out, he saw a page where James had placed some bets in another casino. It happens that James has a gambling problem that he never intended for anyone to find out. The company disapproves of…

The Art of Racing in the Rain The Art of Racing in the Rain is a brilliant piece by Stein Garth that has adopted the use of an array of techniques such as allegory, motifs, similes, themes, and imagery to showcase the themes of love, communication, reincarnation, and death, among others. Motif, Gestures, and Communication In the first line, the author has adopted a metaphorical approach to establish the relationship between the protagonist and other characters. On the first page (Stein 1), Enzo explains that gestures are the only means he can apply to communicate with his family. Gestures are all that I have; sometimes they must be grand in nature. And while I occasionally step over the line and into the world of the melodramatic, it is what I must do in order to communicate clearly and effectively. (Stein 1) This statement establishes predominant methods of gesturing, communication, and themes. Enzo relies on the use of actions since he cannot use language to manipulate situations to his advantage. Although it fails to work sometimes such as when Enzo urinates…
