Effective selection of resources: In our environment "survival of the fittest" is the strategy. Whenever we come across any species, it must have crossed through the evolutionary mechanisms and are still in the process. An organism has to look for its immediate survival, this is what the strategy to be for living. In a way, we say that, if the organism fail to opt for their immediate survival, slowly in the process of natural selection they are selected out. They are supposed to generate characters that can help them survive the change.

Every living thing has to be subjected to the laws of the universe and we know that it has to protect itself from the simple entropic decompensation, homeostatic misadventure, predatory threat. Evolutionary mechanisms are to help in the survival strategy and life preservation.

When an organism has to live its lifetime, it gets its resources in nature and it has to compete with others to get that, also o adapt to something new.

For example, let's say there are different types of ants. They do think and act to survive on an everyday basis, but their resources like plant sap, leaf, or sugar sources, all these things they need to find out and behave and teach their descendants too. This behavioral change will help their coming progeny to survive and know which resources are good for them and how to adapt and compete with others. Thus, we can say that effective selection of resources, not only help them live and survive now but in the change evolutionary mechanism s also they will survive; this is the implication (inference) we can draw.

We have seen in class that the labor force participation of women has increased considerably in the last 50 years in many countries of the world. Unfortunately, during the same time, in some countries, gender wage gap has increased. Newspapers in these countries have reported this increase in the gender wage gap as evidence that there have been an increase in the number of discriminating firms or in how discriminating they are. Using the model of discrimination learned in class,...

In class we discussed the concept of wage differentials. Historically, a correlation has existed between educational attainment and income level. Acquiring more education (human capital) has always been promoted as a means of escaping poverty. Unfortunately, due to rising college costs, students have taken on unprecedented levels of student loan debt. For this paper, you will research (with a minimum of three additional resources) the "student loan bubble" and proposed solutions to assist the impacted economic actors. The paper should...
