AIG responded by saying that the event was based at boosting income and sponsers covered most of the bill. the U.S. government planning to adjust morgage payments on loans owned by Fannie May & Freddie Mac. No, i don't think this will help because we are too far in a crisis hole.

3. The U.S. unemployment rate in October 2008 was at 6.5%. This number historically significant because thats the highest its been in 14 years. I think that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is increasing because the stock market just keeps falling and companies cant afford to hold so many employees.

4. Alan Cannefax been unemployed for 6 months. His unemployment affecting him because he can't support his family. Cannefax and the other job seekers said they see an open door, but it gets quickly shut because companies can't afford to hire them.

8. I think that tickets to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration are in high demand because its a major historical event that everyone wants to see. Some VIP tickets going for 13,000-20,000.

1. According to the program, some Veterans Day messages that President George W. Bush and President-elect Barack Obama delivered on Tuesday were, honoring veterans, people who have worn or wear the uniform, also US army forces and ceremonies for these people. For veterans day, I dont really do that much but i do support these people, they are very brave and much more stronger than I could ever be.

2. According to the show: insurance giant AIG is receiving heat for a recent conference that it held in Arizona because,they recieved a federal bailout in september and cost more than $340,000 boosting income.

AIG responded to this controversy by saying sponsers paid most of the bill.

The action that the U.S. government is planning to take to help the country's real estate market is that planning to adjust mortage payments on loans owned by fanny may and freddy mac. They took over both companies in the beginning of this year.

3. The U.S. unemployment rate in October 2008 was 6.5 percent

This number historically significant because, its the highest its been in 14 years.

I think that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is increasing because, It was only at the lowest last month not anymore.

4. Alan Cannefax has been unemployed for 6 months.

His unemployment is affecting him because, Theyre scared what theyre going to do or go, him and his family.

The measures that Cannefax and the other job seekers featured in the report taken to find work were, to make a network and a site.

Some obstacles that they encountered during their job hunt were, alot of jobs closed and unemployment, also help wanted.

5. I am concerned about the economy and the current unemployment rate because so many people are jobless and have no money, theyre going to lose everything they have, houses, cars and family. People should really step it up and try to get any job possible, any money is better than none.

6. Haruka Nishimatsu's position at Japan Airlines is,CEO at one of americas top 10 airlines.

According to the report: Some personal sacrifices that Nishimatsu made for the good of his company and his employees were that slashed his own pay and fired his old workers.

Nishimatsu's salary compares to a top paid American CEO by tons of millions and 2 hundred million a year.

7. Based on the information in the report, some ethical principles that i think that Nishimatsu promotes at Japan Airlines is, bad because hes practically cheating money and getting more money than anyone else and less money for his workers.

In my opinion, some lessons, that other CEOs learn from Nishimatsu are, that its not fair.

8. I think that tickets to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration are in high demand because, it will be at the US capital.

According to the report, some VIP tickets are going for, $13,000

9. According to the report risks are associated with buying inauguration tickets online because, some people are scamming you for more money and lie, most people get them for free and sell them for so much more.

10. I think that U.S. congressional staffers should be fired if they are caught selling their inauguration tickets because, they get them for free and they get money out of it.

If you were given free tickets to the inauguration, would you sell them? Why or why not? honestly if the U.S. congressional were caught selling tickets i think they should be fired but that's not my decision. But i say that if i were even given tickets i dnt really know what i would do with them.

Anonymous said...: 1. According to the program, what Veterans Day messages did President George W. Bush and President-elect Barack Obama deliver on Tuesday? What, if anything, did you do to commemorate Veterans Day?

To respect not only people who have or are currently wearing the uniform but also their families.
We hang up flags everywhere to thank them.

2. According to the show: Why is insurance giant AIG receiving heat for a recent conference that it held in Arizona? How has AIG responded to this controversy? What action is the U.S. government planning to take to help the country's real estate market? Do you think that this action will have the desired impact? Why or why not?

they filed for federal bailout but they have the money to pay back for a conference that costs $340,000. They are going to raise loans.. it might help a little, but not substantial

3. What was the U.S. unemployment rate in October 2008? Why is this number historically significant? Why do you think that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is increasing?

6.5% Its the highest it has ever been in the past 14 years. I think it will keep rising because the economy is so bad

4. For how long has Alan Cannefax been unemployed? How is his unemployment affecting him? What measures have Cannefax and the other job seekers featured in the report taken to find work? What obstacles have they encountered during their job hunt?

He hasnt worked for 6 months and cant support his family, there just arent enough jobs in the country

5. To what extent, if any, are you concerned about the economy and the current unemployment rate?

I am worried about it because i know theres familys who are kicked out on the streets everyday and i def dont want mine to be next, however nations fall in a recession all the time in history, its a cycle that will hopefully be over soon.

6. What is Haruka Nishimatsu's position at Japan Airlines? According to the report: What personal sacrifices has Nishimatsu made for the good of his company and his employees? How does Nishimatsu's salary compare to that of a top paid American CEO?

He is an underpaid CEO that gave up his salery to keep some employees.

7. Based on the information in the report, what ethical principles do you think that Nishimatsu promotes at Japan Airlines? In your opinion, what lessons, if any, might other CEOs learn from Nishimatsu?

People come before money

8. Why do you think that tickets to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration are in high demand? According to the report, how much are some VIP tickets going for?

the tickets were at high demand, because the majority of people were supporting him and because this is historial they wanted to witness it thmself. Some VIP tickets were going as high as $1315-$2000

9. According to the report, what risks are associated with buying inauguration tickets online? How much would you be willing to pay for a ticket to the inauguration?

They could be fake and you just got scammed, or theres not enough room for you the day of the inaguration. I dont need a ticket, save the tickets for the EXTREME obama lovers, im fine with watching it on tv

10. Do you think that U.S. congressional staffers should be fired if they are caught selling their inauguration tickets? State your rationale. If you were given free tickets to the inauguration, would you sell them? Why or why not?

No because if they dont want the tickets, why not sell it to others that really DO want them, and i know i would sell them too.

AIG is recieving heat about the conference because they filed for federal bailout but they have the money to pay for a conference that costs more than $340,000. AIG responded by saying that the event was based at boosting income and sponsers covered most of the bill. the U.S. government planning to adjust morgage payments on loans owned by Fannie May & Freddie Mac.

3. The U.S. unemployment rate is 6.5 %. Thus leaving people searching for jobs that just aren't there. This is a significant number because this is the highest that it has been in 14 years.

4. Alan Cannefax has been unemployed for nearly 6 months. Unemployment is effecting him because now his family is having to cut down on some of their everyday things. Because many jobs are laying people off, not hiring, Cannefax and many others have not had any great luck finding a job.

5. Right now, the economy may be at a low point, but I feel as though this may have of happened before and look at where we are today. The way that people make the world out to be isn't near as bad as it realllyyy is. The economy is at a low but we just have to be careful, and watch our actions so that our economy and stock market, etc. can gain its power and go back to a steady rate.

6.Haruka Nishimatsu's position at Japan Airlines is CEO. He had cut all of is perks so that he could help everyone keep their jobs. He thought that he should feel the same pain as them, therefore he cut his pay also.

7. I think that he promotes the fact that everyone is equal. Even though many dont have the same pay from the begining now that the economy isn't great, he takes a cut from everyone's pay so that everyone will suffer the same ammount.

8. I think that tickets to Obama's inauguration are so expensive because he is the first president in the history of the United States that isn't completely white. Therefore, the sellers know that because this is such a big change that many will buy the tickets just to go and see this speech and day that will go down in history.

9. Buying tickets online might be buying a fake ticket, and many brokers might not be able to possess all of the tickets that they sell.

10. Yes, i do believe that they should be fired because first of all they would be breaking the law after they were told not to sell the tickets in the first place. And also they need those tickets so that they can be apart of this inauguration like they are supposed to be.

3 the u.s.unemployment rate is 6.5%amd why the number is so sugnifiacant is beacuse it hasnt been this low in 14 years and why i think the rate is so low is beacuse the company doesnt want to pay for the employes.

4 Alan Cannefax has been um emlpyed for 6 months. how nothaveing a job is that his family has to cut down on things that want rather than need. some job seeker have gone to job convection and some obsticels that they have faced were that l;ots of poeple have been lookin jobs and theres not that meany jobs out there.
5.yes and no beacuse i have a job but one day i might get fired beacuse they cant affored to pay me.
6. Haruka Nishimatsu's position at Japan Airlines is the CEO. According to the report Nishimatsu slashed his own pay, so he can keep as many employees he can afford and asked the older people to retire early. Nishimatsu's salary makes only 90,000 US dollars.

7. Nishimatsu promotes at Japan Airlines that you need to put your business before all the money. Other CEO's might learn from Nishimatsu that you need to stop being so greedy & think of everyone else being effected.

8. I think that tickets to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration are in high demand because its a major historical event that everyone wants to see. Some VIP tickets going for 13,000-20,000.

9. Buying inauguration tickets online may lead to fraud tickets. I would be willing to pay maybe $100 at the most for a ticket.

10.
