A. ECONOMY

INTRODUCTION:

 An economy is a system of inter-related production and consumption activities that

ultimately determine the allocation of resources within a group.

 The production and consumption of goods and services as a whole fulfill the needs of
those living and operating within it.

 Market-based economies, also called free market economies, are self-regulated,

allowing goods to be produced and distributed in response to demand from consumers.

 Command-based economies are regulated by a government body that determines the

goods which are produced, their quantities, and the price paid for them.

 In the modern world, few economies are purely market-based or command-based.

FINDINGS:

The distinction between a car for personal use and a truck for work use/cargo transport has
broken down, initially with minivans and more recently with the sport utility vehicles (SUVs)
and cross- over vehicles, The car/truck distinction has been stretched well beyond the original
purpose.

CONCLUSION:

Economic analysis is a useful tool for planning and evaluating prospects in changing
management practice(s), also in a close to subsistence farming economy.

B. POLITICS

INTRODUCTION:

Politics (from Greek: Πολιτικά, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are
associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among
individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.
FINDINGS:

Politics is the way that people living in groups make decisions. Politics is about making
agreements between people so that they can live together in groups such as tribes,
cities, or countries.

CONCLUSION:

This course was dedicated to exploring the questions of what politics is and why it’s important.
You began to work through these questions by studying a list reflecting some of the more
extraordinary political events of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. You also reflected on
the more ordinary side of politics and explored the implications of politics for our day-to-day
lives.

C. INVIRONMENT

INTRODUCTION:

An Environment is everything that is around us, which includes both living and nonliving things
such as soil, water, animals and plants, which adapt themselves to their surroundings. It is
nature’s gift that helps in nourishing life on Earth.

FINDINGS:

The National Reseach Council's (NRC) Committee on Global Change Research (CGCR) is charged
with providing scientific advice to the federal government on how the United States should
execute global change research. The present report addresses this task and the challenge of
defining a new strategy for the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) by identifying
and considering the pivotal unanswered Scientific Questions in six fields: ecosystems, seasonal
to interannual climate change, decadal to centennial climate change, atmospheric chemistry,
paleoclimate, and human dimensions of global change.

CONCLUSION:

All of us must take a pledge to save the environment so that our kids can live a healthy and
peaceful life in the future. Taking these kinds of initiatives is helpful in favour of the long-term
life of humans on this planet.
D. RELIGION

INTRODUCTION:

Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that relate humanity
to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols,
traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin
of life or the universe.

FINDINGS:

Religion has traditionally leaned on eyewitness testimonials, narratives, symbols and personal,
experiential evidence, and it strives for certainty and confirmation. In contrast, empirical
science relies on controlled and repeatable experimentation, statistical uncertainty and the
possibility of falsification.

CONCLUSION:

CONCLUSION. Religion is of central importance to the lives of people in the majority of the

world's cultures; more than eight-in-ten people worldwide identify with a religious group.
However, it is also true that the number of people who say that they have no religious
affiliation is growing.
E. HEALTH

INTRODUCTION:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity. Source: Preamble to the constitution of the World Health Organization
(WHO). Health is a multifaceted concept. It is not simply the condition of being well or unwell.

FINDINGS:

Research Findings means the numeric, analytic, or narrative results, conclusions, data, statistics,
and all other information collected or produced in a research endeavor and includes but is not
limited to empirical evidence, theoretical conjecture, databases, software, and equipment
developed in a research endeavor.

CONCLUSION:

Health care is moving into the home increasingly often and involving a mixture of people, a
variety of tasks, and a broad diversity of devices and technologies; it is also occurring in a range
of residential environments. The factors driving this migration include the rising costs of
providing health care; the growing numbers of older adults; the increasing prevalence of
chronic disease; improved survival rates of various diseases, injuries, and other conditions
(including those of fragile newborns); large numbers of veterans returning from war with
serious injuries; and a wide range of technological innovations. The health care that results
varies considerably in its safety, effectiveness, and efficiency, as well as its quality and cost.
