Week 3 EOC

Should America have a strong or weak dollar? This is a question that does not have a simple answer. When times are great we want a strong dollar so we can import more foreign goods and a lower exchange rate, the down fall to this however is that we are spending more money on foreign goods rather than circulating the money into our own economy. Eventually after having a strong dollar for so long inflation will occur and our dollar will weaken. The weak dollar has its downfalls such as higher oil prices which in turn raise the price of fuel and we end up paying more for foreign goods. On the positive the weak dollar encourages us to spend more money in the U.S. and allows other countries to purchase more goods from America which will help our economy. Having a strong dollar or weak dollar both have their positive and negative attributes but once the dollar has been weak for so long I believe we long for it to be strong again. I say this because I have never heard anyone say during good economic times that they wish for a weak dollar yet in poor economic times we strive to be where we once were. In the end we want to be able to pump money throughout the nation to stimulate the economy and with a strong dollar that money is coming from the American people spending more of their hard earned cash and during a weak economy that money is coming from foreign countries purchasing our goods. I think it’s more fun for all of us when we are the ones being able to spend the money with a strong dollar, this also allows the money to be spent on shopping and restaurants which puts the money into the hands of the working middle class who can pay their bills and in turn go out and continue to spend.

Week 2 EOC

I had an experience with great customer satisfaction at Pure Beauty a store that sells makeup, hair and skin care as well as hair appliances. The sales lady was so helpful in showing me the product and introducing me to new products, she was friendly and complementary. I left satisfied and when I returned to the store she remembered me and the experience was just as satisfying. An experience I had with poor customer service was at a store called Francesca’s Collections. I walked in and the two sales women were standing at the register talking and refused to stop their conversation to greet me, they never acknowledged me in the store yet the customers who walked in after me were greeted and helped with tremendous service.

Week 1 EOC

My name is Mina Mousavi; I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where I lived until I graduated high school and moved to Las Vegas. I attended college at the Art Institute of Las Vegas to pursue a career in fashion. I have always felt the need to express myself creatively whether it be through singing, writing or styling, I knew I could never settle for “ordinary”. I have a pretty unique personality and have been either loved or out casted for it my entire life, I take pride in my differences however and when people call me “weird” or “strange” I take it as a compliment. In my eyes if an object is weird then it must be interesting and if a person is strange they must be intriguing and there is never anything dull about that. I find inspiration through sadness mostly and find beauty from things most people would just walk by and not think twice about, I believe that everyone should be free to express themselves without being judged, with that being said I also believe that our strongest self expression comes from with in each of us and shines in our personality, though what we wear is a huge part of self expression it is also a means of conformity no matter what your style is.
