Linguistic Rules and First Impressions
Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.
Refer to Chapter 6 of Looking Out, Looking In and answer the following:
- Think of a time when you spoke with someone whose speech violated the syntactic rules that you are used to.
- Explain the scenario and the situation.
- Identify what you thought about that person. What was your first impression?
- How was your impression of that person influenced because he or she did not follow standard linguistic rules?
- Think about it in hindsight. Was this first impression valid? Why or why not?

I will never forgot I looked up to my Biology professor. She had a PHD in Biology adn she was well known. She made want to study nursing at the time adn she invited me to come to a conference with her. To my suprise, she was going to be the guest speak for the conference. I was so excited to have my favorite professor speaking. She took teh podium adn began to talk and to my suprise I was excited. When she began to speak, I was totally disappointed becasue she had so many grammatical errors in her speech. My first impression was ruined because I could not overlook the fact that she had so many grammactical errors. This has taught me that everyone is human and we can make mistakes.

Linguistic Rules and First Impressions
Good Afternoon,
- I met Joe several years ago at the production facility where i am the maintenance manager. Joe un be knownst to me has a proble with speaking in broken sentences. By that I mean he will pause where you should’nt pause. One of the first interactions that Joe and I had was when I had requested him to give a presentation on a maintenance issue that we havd been having at the plant. There were many executives in the room and after the presentation some of them came up to me and asked what he was talking about. I sat them down and explained the problem that we were having, with me explaining the situation they could understand the issue. Joe and I work together often now and he has improved the way he speaks.
- My first impression of Joe is that he is very intelligent, his spekaing skills are in need of improvement.
- I thought at one point that Joe was not great at presenting which was false.
- Yes my first impression was false because of his lack of speaking skills.
Respectfully,
Dave

Short-Run and Long-Run Economics
Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.
It is important to distinguish between changes that are anticipated and unanticipated because the impact on the economy will differ between the two. The economy is in long-run equilibrium when the short-run aggregate supply curve, aggregate demand curve, and long-run aggregate supply curve are in equilibrium.
What are the major factors causing a shift in aggregate demand (inward or outward)? What are the major factors that will affect short-run aggregate supply? Long-run aggregate supply?
Review what factors will lead to a shift in the AD, SAS, and LRAS. An increase in output due to economic growth will increase both short-run and long-run aggregate supply. Unanticipated changes in either aggregate demand or aggregate supply will disrupt long-run equilibrium and cause current output to differ from the economy’s long-run potential.

Aggregate demand is impacted through consumer spending on goods and services, investment spending on business capital goods, and government spending on public goods and services. Also, there is a large impact being made through exports and imports in regards to aggregate demand. The major factors that impact short-run aggregate supply are prices on labor, taxes on subsidies, and cost on raw material. The major factors that impact long-run aggregate supply are productivity growth, the better the productivity in the long run the better the aggregate supply.

It is important to distinguish between changes that are anticipated and unanticipated because the impact on the economy will differ between the two. The economy is in long-run equilibrium when the short-run aggregate supply curve, aggregate demand curve, and long-run aggregate supply curve are in equilibrium.
What are the major factors causing a shift in aggregate demand (inward or outward)? Consumer spending, investment spending, government spending, or net exports.
What are the major factors that will affect short-run aggregate supply? taxes, and subsides, price of labor (wages), and the price of raw materials. Changes in the quantity and quality of labor and capital can also be an influencing factor.
Long-run aggregate supply? Capital, labor and technology affects the aggregate supply curve. Up until this point everything in the economy is assumed to be used optimally.
Review what factors will lead to a shift in the AD, SAS, and LRAS. An increase in output due to economic growth will increase both short-run and long-run aggregate supply. Unanticipated changes in either aggregate demand or aggregate supply will disrupt long-run equilibrium and cause current output to differ from the economy’s long-run potential.
