~Summary of The Article Minimum Wage's Discriminatory Effects ~

     By reading the article " Minimum Wage's Discriminatory Effects"and digging deeper to understand that man years ago the difference between races had been stopped. Is it possible that discrimination among white and black people continues?
      As to be very persuaded, people were needed some proofs about the minimum salaries' devastating effects. Another study has already reached the same conclusion. Two labor economists, Professors William Even and David Macpherson, released a study for the Washington, D.C.-based Employment Policies Institute titled "Unequal Harm: Minimum Wage Increases." Percentage of being unemployed young adult increases up to 27 percent(%). Also as we can see that the unemployment rate for black young adults was almost 50 percent, but for young black males, it was 55 percent. 
       Among the white males, the economic professors found that each 10 percent increase in a state, but federal minimum wage decreased employment by 2.5 percent. The terrible situation, among black males in this group, is that each 10 percent increase in the minimum wage decreased employment by 6.5 percent. In every business, every job will hire the educated person with experience. So most uneducated African Americans worked in food and drinking establishments. 
     To find a job or hire such a worker would be a losing economic proposition. If the employer could pay that low-skilled worker the value of his skills, he would at least have a job and a chance to advance his skill and earn more in the future.

Join the leadership......

    Today I don't belong to any of the organizations, clubs and so on. Next year I am planing to join leadership club in the Helen Bernstein High School. There we will set the events, discuss them, and present important topics. We also may decorate the place for the dance, do some fantastic effects with lights and projector. What I meant by presenting is that we may motivate students to learn more and try their best to prove their grades on the tests. So, I think it seems interesting for me and the people who will join leadership with me.   

Product or Service would you feel comfortable selling today?

      All around the world we see tons of industries, factories, businesses, successful markets and etc. From these facts I could surely say that open food business  is not a brilliant idea. There are millions fast food, restaurants, and cafe that will compete and bring your dreams of beneficial business down. Sell electronics devices such as  ipods, lap tops, computers, televisions with big screen, is not a good idea either because year by year producers increase there products in better way, unless you may create something unusual that no one did before. 
     Some of my opinions of selling might be little souvenirs for the tourists, who visit your country. In this country I think selling electronic dictionaries including all the languages for foreign people. That may be successful because it will save time finding the spelling of the word and definition. Although you need more tools for it like batteries, clean the screen and so on, trust me it much easier than take a huge dictionary with you.
