Business Cycles and STUFF

What a great week we have had! The weather has been fantastic and you know what that means... great economy. Just kidding, that's not a sure sign of a good economy, so don't quote me on that one. But we have gone through a lot of valuable information this week. We packed our lessons full of information about business forms and the business cycle. I thought that the business cycle was one of the most interesting things! I never realized that a business or even the economy always moves in the predictable pattern! Like, I knew it did but I didn't know. I don't know how to describe it. But it makes sense that it always raises and then goes back down and that if it lasts for too long, then there's a depression. I found it very interesting to learn about the reasons behind the Great Depression too. I have never really known the reasons behind the Great Depression and as a soon to be "adult," it is my responsibility to know the reasons why bad things happened so that I can help to prevent them from happening again. It is all just about knowledge and understanding of the economy.
