Realism in International Relations

Realism is one of the dominant schools of thought in international relations theory, theoretically formalizing the Realpolitik statesmanship of early modern Europe. Although a highly diverse body of thought, it is unified by the belief that world politics is always and necessarily a field of conflict among actors pursuing power. The theories of realism are contrasted by the cooperative ideals of liberalism.

Realists can be divided into three classes based on their view of the essential causes of interstate conflict:

• Classical realists believe it follows from human nature;
• Neorealists attribute it to the dynamics of the anarchic state system;
• Neoclassical realists believe it results from both, in combination with

Network Classification by Device Roles

Networks can be classified based on the roles of the devices within them:

• Client-Server: This is the most common type. A powerful server provides services to multiple clients and is always available. Example: A web server.
• Peer-to-Peer: In this model, all computers have equal roles and share resources directly. Example: BitTorrent.

Router Functions in Home Networks

Routers provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) often integrate the functions of multiple devices, including:

• Hub
• Modem
• Access Point

The Naturalists' View on Meaning

Ancient Greek philosophers who advocated this position viewed naming as a natural relationship between the signs and what these signs signified. They thought that the form of words was thus related to their meaning. This relationship was said to emanate from rigidly fixed inviolable principles on which man had no control.

The existence of a number of onomatopoeic words in natural languages, that is, words whose phonetic form is an imitation of the original sound they refer to such as cuckoo, splash, crush, and hoot in English, backed up the view held by the naturalist school.

The Conventionalists' View on Meaning

Greek philosophers who argued for the conventionalist explanation viewed the relationship of naming... Continue reading "Semantic Theory: Naturalists vs. Conventionalists" »

…perfectly (or infinitely) elastic:

the extremely elastic situation of demand or supply where quantity changes by an infinite amount in response to any change in price; horizontal in appearance

perfectly inelastic:

the highly inelastic case of demand in which a percentage change in price, no matter how large, results in zero change in the quantity; thus, the price elasticity of demand is zero; vertical in appearance

(relatively) elastic:

the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price; measured price elasticity of demand is greater than one (in absolute value)

Elasticity

Elastic demand: A high responsiveness of quantity demanded or supplied to changes in price.

Elasticity: An economics concept that measures the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable.

Inelastic demand: A low responsiveness by consumers to price changes.

Necessities vs. Luxuries

Necessities tend to have inelastic demands, whereas luxuries have elastic demands.

Short Run Versus Long Run

Price elasticity of demand is usually lower in the short run, before consumers have much time to react, than in the long run, when they have a greater opportunity to find substitute goods. Thus, demand is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run.

Competitive Dynamics

Goods that can only be produced by one supplier generally... Continue reading "Price Elasticity of Demand and Supply: Formulas and Examples" »

1) Context Històric i Cultural

Es trobava a una situació on el règim franquista començà a obrir-se internacionalment i a eliminar la censura de publicar en català. L’existencialisme es converteix en un emblema a partir del qual els escriptors mostraven una visió progressista i crítica amb el problema social i cultural. Va aparèixer la Nova Cançó, que defensava l’ús del català. L’assaig es diversifica: ja no tracta sols dels temes nacionals, sinó que és percebut com un gènere amb molta influència en els joves, així que la reflexió passa a ser cabdal per a les generacions joves.
