Clash Of Clans/CCS

Clash of Clans in my opinion is mostly like Capitalism in the sence of trying to be at the top and not worrying about anybody else but yourself. In a capitalistic society most governements dont worry about other countries. Most governments just worry about being the best governement and work on making the most money and being at the top at all times.
In Clash of Clans most people arent worried about how anybody else in the game is doing. Everybody is for themselves. The top players are trying to gain as many trophies as possible so that they can continue to climb up the rankings and be the best.
In my opinion Clash of Clans is most like Capitalism for many different reasons.

Clash Com, Soc, and Cap

when we were playing clash of clans Mr. Kapptie would take everybodies trophys and divide that number by how many kids were in the class making it so that it was scoialistic because nobody was left behing and everybody played a role. he then took the top score minus the lowest score and which ever class had the lowest number one. this was somewhat like capitilism in the sense of the lowest minus the highest being the score of the whole class. also that the high up people had to sacrifice and lose trophies whereas the low end had to try and gain. clash of clans is sorta like a communistic society in the sense of everybody trying to get to the top and battling against everybody. everybody is on there own in this kind of socitey and that is how it is when you are battling to reach the top in this game.

Job Shadow Blog

For my job shadow I went to Rocky Mountain Sports in Cody and shadowed, the manager, Todd. Todd showed me all around the store and explained to me exactly what he did everyday and also taught me how to take inventory and how to restock shelves. Todd has been working at Rocky Mountain Sports for quite some time now and has a lot of expierience because he worked at a sporting goods store in Montana before that. In order to be the manager you really dont need any schooling at all. Todd said the biggest thing is expierience. Recieveing a degree for management or something to that extent is very useful but not necessary. The job prospects for manager of Rocky Mountain Sports looks very good actually. According to my research the job prospects of a retail store manager is actually expected to increase slightyly over time. The average salary for a retail store manager is $54,000. Many make much less than that but some make more than that as well bringing the average to around $54,000.

During my job shadow I learned that being the manager of a very popular store such as Rocky Mountain Sports actually takes a lot work. You have to take inventory, keep everything stocked up, and continue to please customers. My favorite part of this job shadow was that I am an archery hunter and I was able to relater many things with this guy because he is also an archery hunter. The best part was when he let me shoot one of their super nice cross bows.

Nothing about my job shadow was really all that boring. The worst part though was probably the fact that you were always walking around the store and you got tired very easily. The day was slow because it was a week day and many people were at work so we didnt get a whole lot of customers in the store. Not having many customers made it so we were stocking shelves and keeping inventory a whole lot.

The ten questions I asked Todd were:
1. If you dont mind me asking, what is your yearly salary?
2. How many employies do you have as the manager?
3. What is your average number of customers each day?
4. Are you required to wear certain apparel for this job?
5. What do you do for lunch each day?
6. What is the worst expierience that you have gone through as the manager?
7. What is the best expierience that you have gone throught as the manager?
8. Is being the manager of a very busy store stessfull?
9. What does your life outside this job look like?
10. Are you married and if so do you have any kids? Does this make this job harder to be involved in?

Young Adults After The Recession

In my opinion I find it actually good that after the recession young adults are spending less money. Spending less money will help keep young adults out of as much debt so that in the long run they won't have as much money to pay off. Many people are in a lot of financial debt and this can affect them for a very long time but if young adults stay out of this debt they will be better off. Some may argue that not as many jobs can be created this way but I don't believe it will affect the jobs by that much. In conclusion I think it is actually a very good thing that young adults are spending less money.

Entrepreneur Article Post

By reading the articles about the young people who started their own businesses or invented something on their own I learned that young people are very capable of starting a new business and also that while living with their parents they really have nothing to lose by do so. Two different teens started their own small businesses that helped them make a very good amount of money. I found that starting these small businesses as a teen is a very good idea. The teen who started the heart exam for a cell phone had literally nothing to lose and a lot to gain. This child invented something that will most likely benefit her in the long run. In conclusion being a young entrepreneur is a very good idea and has a small chance of actually hurting you financially.

Entrepreneur

In my opinion, the best way for a young adult to understand how a business can be important is for him or her to start their own business. Starting their own business can help them become more responsible and also more understanding of finances. Starting a business that is small and practical would be the best way to go so that you can be your own boss and still be alright financially. Starting a large business at a young age will usually cause a inexpierienced entrepreneur to be either bankrupt or in very large debt in only a few years. Doing this can help someone out in many ways though, making money, learning responsibility, and being honest when it comes to customers. Many young people may have the problem of starting too large but they will soon learn and down grade which will help them out immensely. In conclusion, the best way for a teen to get out and see the world and how it works is to start a business in my opinion.

Credit Card Video Summary

I think that there was three very interesting things about the credit card video. The first is that most students will spend all of there money during college and not actually try to save for after college. The second one is that most students are offered many different kinds of credit cards and will aften take them which can cause them to go into big debt and also have a very bad affect on their credit score. The final fact that I found interesting is that during college more students drop out because of financial problems than do because of grades.
