What careers can come of a major in comparative literature?

A. Teaching, acting, writing and critic. I don't see anything in anthropology and diplomacy would be a bit of a push unless you do a minor in political science. If you have a second or third language, you could do a moderns degree with minors in sociology and political science and then open up all fields mentioned above..

Q. China's Natural Resources. Explain how the items might result in an absolute or comparative advantage for the country.
Asked by Emily - Tue Sep 23 22:04:09 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A country is said to have an absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if they are able to make it at a lower cost than another country. For example, if it costs $20 to make a chair in USA, but only $12 to make the same chair in China, then we would say that the Chinese economy has an absolute advantage in the production of that chair. Therefore we should allow people in China to make these chairs, as the finished product will be cheaper for consumers. If all international trade followed this theory, then production would increasingly be isolated in countries with low wages. Only highly specialised items would be able to be produced in countries with high wages. This would result in lower overall world production, which… [cont.]

A. Philosophy is a degree you can literally take anywhere, The skills it teaches you are the natural leadership abilities that are in high demand in todays work place (communication, logic, conflict resolution, problem solving, and an ability to adapt to any enviornment). Particularly, philosophy is a good preparation for law school because you deal with ethical as well as metaphysical issues.

How do comparative zoologists know that a fossil is different than known living species?
Q. Sometimes, comparative zoologists and acheologists determine that a bone fragment found constitutes an entire different species. Can this really be deduced from a buried bone fragment sometimes millions of years old? Are these guesses or fact? Also, if there are no complete skeletons of certain animals (such as some dinosaurs) how can zoologists really know that some dug-up bone fragment belongs to an entirely different species?

A. The answer is in your question: comparative zoologist.

Then, the idea is to rule out a freak deviation or an infirmity or the result of a wound that healed strangely; and again, the archaeologist know what to look for to rule those things out.

Surely it cannot matter that a mexican broom maker has a comparative advantage. He simply won't be able to sell any if I have an absolute advantage. If I understand correclty, theory will predict that wages will rise in other industries (where US has comparative advantage), and I will have to raise wages to keep my employees until I lose my absolute advantage.

If the Mexican has a comparative advantage in broom making, that means there is something else you can make better. The Mexican makes brooms because you can grow apples even more than making brooms. You will have more brooms and apples if you grow apples and he makes brooms.

But because fund returns go up and down and some funds are lucky and some unlucky, that is only a general principle. This is why index funds are great. They are low-cost and tax efficient and underperform the market by their expense ratio (internal management fees). Over time, 80% of managed funds underperform the companion index fund. If you didn't pay loads or a higher expense ratio or 12b-1 fees, that number would be much different. Here's a shocking example.

A. Yes. You're allowed to explain and discuss any sort of plot events - in either book - as long as they help support the connection you're trying to make. Though, I would suggest you go a little deeper than just saying that both Hamlet and Holden lost family members, and go into how that loss influenced each of their actions and how they deal/dealt with situations.

A. This is a difficult type of essay because you can only choose the similar things in the book, so I think you should try finding a lot of common things between the book. I recommend doing the plot, theme, characters, do one for each paragraph. The characters could be the running away because in Eragon the main character escapes with Garrow, and in The Thief Lord prosper and bo run away from home. For the plot, talk about the mystical things they include such as a dragon or the stealing of the wing. The theme relates also because in both books they are able to live as happy people and do what ever they intended to do.
