Illustrate the following with supply and demand curves:a. With increased access to wireless technology and lighter weight, the demand for laptop computers has increased substantially.  Laptops have also become easier and cheaper to produce as new technology has come online.  Despite the shift of demand, prices have fallen.b. Cranberry production in Massachusetts totaled 1.97million barrels in 2006, a 39 percent increase from the previous year’s production.  This year’s crop yield averaged 140.9 barrels per acre, an increase of over 40 barrels per acre from the 2005 crop.  But demand increased by even more than supply, actually pushing 2006 prices above 2005 prices.c. During the high-tech boom in the late 1990’s, San Jose office spaces was in very high demand and rents were very high.  With the national recession that began in March 2001, however, the market for office space in San Jose was hit very hard, with rents per square foot falling.  In 2005, the employment numbers from San Jose were rising slowly and rents began to rise again.  Assume for simplicity that no new office space was built during the period.d. Before economic reforms were implemented in the countries of Eastern Europe, regulation held the price of bread substantially below equilibrium.  When reforms were implemented, prices were deregulated and the price of bread rose dramatically.  As a result, the quantity of bread demanded fell and the quantity of bread supplied rose sharply.e. The steel industry has been lobbying for high taxes on imported steel.  Russia, Brazil, and Japan have been producing and selling steel on world markets at $610 per metric ton, well below what equilibrium would be in the US with no imports.  If no imported steel was permitted into the country, the equilibrium price would be $970 per metric ton.  Show supply and demand curves for the US, assuming no imports; then show what the graph would look like if US buyers could purchase all the steel that they wanted from world markets at $610 per metric ton; show the quantity of imported steel.

 Assignment

In our academic lives, we are exposed to new words and terms all the time: We might learn new terms—or more complicated applications of words we thought we already know—as we study history, biology, literature, or other disciplines. This happens in our everyday lives as well; we hear new words from different cultures, different technologies, and different generations. Often, when we want to know a word or a term’s definition, we think of looking in the dictionary, of going to an acknowledged, credible source to find out what a word means. We don’t necessarily think of definitions as debatable, as arguments, and many words, in many situations, are not. When you hear someone tell a teenager or young adult to act like an “adult,” you probably don’t think of that person acting like a 14-year-old. You know what the word “adult” means! But you also probably know that in a different context that word that you know so well may be contested. In criminal law, for example, a 14-year-old might be tried as an “adult” in a court if he or she has committed certain crimes. And 200 years ago, a 14-year-old was very much an adult in terms of being able to work or even marry. And in some parts of the world, that is still the case.

So, once we think about it, we realize that dictionaries aren’t the only sources of definitions. Often how a word is defined is very debatable; often, indeed, it’s the foundation of an argument. For example, before a court can decide to try a 14-year-old as an adult, there must be agreement on what being an adult means in this particular legal term (that is, in terms of behavior, knowing right from wrong, etc.). How a court defines “adult” will likely be very different from the way a biologist defines “adult,” which will vary still from the way a psychologist defines it.

In college and the professional world, you will often be expected to memorize established definitions of terms. But you will often need to be able to understand and enter the debate over definitions that are contested. In this expository essay, you will define an abstract term using illustration and example.

For this assignment, you will work through the prewriting and drafting stages of the writing process in an illustration/example essay. You will choose one term from the list below and define the term using illustration and example—whatever evidence you determine to be the most compelling and uniquely describe the term you are defining. Make sure that the definition is your own and that it is not simply a paraphrasing of a definition shared elsewhere.

Your goal in this paper is to reflect on and articulate the meaning of a word or term that has some resonance for you. For your reader, the paper should offer a clear sense of what you think the term means, how your thoughts connect to what others think of the term, why and in what context the definition matters.

After selecting your term and the support for defining that term, consider how to best arrange your thoughts, but you will want to be sure that it is supportive and well organized. How will you weave together a definition of an abstract term with an attention-grabbing narrative and examples that best explain the concept?

What you should not do in this essay is define a term in the way we already know it; in other words, try not to tell us that pain is physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury. We don’t need to read that poverty is the state of being extremely poor. We know that. For example, what does pain mean to you? And where have you seen it … lived it?
