A Bug’s Life

In the beginning of the film, it started with the ant colony getting and placing all food in a single place. They are preoccupied by traditional agricultural labor, an illustration of an economy needing workers to do the labor because there is scarcity of resources so they need to maintain the amount of food for the colony. This is a depiction of a farmer living on a farm and must harvest his crops to have production and resources for his living and for the market too. There is the presence of labor and employment because ants do the work depending on their rank. There is the queen ant that oversee the production and ordinary or worker ants who finds and collect food for the colony. The economy on the film is also demonstrated with the use of simple technologies. One ant in the film invented better technology for collecting crops such as his grain-collecting device created to speed up collection of grain. This shows the need for better technology of the ant colony to increase the supply of production and collection within the ant colony.
However, the ant colony was under the grasshoppers rule. Grasshoppers can be represented by landholder who seeks tribute or money from their holdings. Ants must offer food for them. By doing such things, the grasshoppers promised to protect them from other wild insects. In this situation, it seems that the grasshoppers are the superior and they have the any colony working for them to gather food. Both the ants and grasshoppers need food so the ants must double the effort they are doing to have enough food for them. This illustrates the law of supply and demand. There is a high number of populations in the ant colony plus the greedy nations of grasshoppers too. Since there is a large number of ants and grasshopper needing for food, then definitely the demand will be high. To make the economy equilibrium, the ants must put extra effort to maintain the right amount of supply

    A two-part study was recently done to show what natural habitat a Pill bug, Armadillidium vulgare, naturally prefers: wet or dry environments along with a light or dark environment. It was hypothesized that a Pill bug would prefer and wet and dark environment based on its natural habitat of soil. For the wet and dry experiment, a coffee filter and soil were placed in each chamber of a double petri dish with one being dampened before being placed in. For the light and dry experiment a light was hung above one chamber of another double-chambered petri dish while the other chamber was covered with aluminum foil, after placing soil in both chambers. An equal number of Pill bugs was placed in each chamber and a study was taken for ten minutes where every thirty seconds the number of Pill bugs in each dish was counted. The results showed that Pill bugs, unlike it’s natural habitats, preferred light and dry environments.…

    The book I selected is called Horsefly and Honeybee, which is a fiction book written by Randy Cecil.This book is about a horsefly and a honey bee who fought over a flower and each lost a wing. Because they could no longer fly they were captured by a bullfrog and soon to be eaten. But, they decided to work together and use the remaining wings they had to fly away. By doing so, they escaped, became friends, and shared the flower. This book is at the instructional level for the majority of the class and is for ages four to eight and grades pre-k to third. However for a handful of students, who i’ve noticed are at a higher reading level than the rest of the class, this book would be somewhat simpler. But, the moral gained from the story is something…

    John Steinbeck wrote in his 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath: "And then the dispossessed were drawn west- from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas, families, tribes, dusted out, tractored out. Carloads, caravans, homeless and hungry; twenty thousand and fifty thousand and a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand. They streamed over the mountains, hungry and restless – restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do – to lift, to push, to pull, to pick, to cut – anything, any burden to bear, for food. The kids are hungry. We got no place to live. Like ants scurrying for work, for food, and most of all for land." This, just a small excerpt from Steinbeck's novel, depicts the hardships and struggles that farmers faced during…

    One of the most basic principles of economics is the rule of supply and demand. This law states that when the supply of a product or services increases, the demand for it decreases. Adversely, if the supply were to decrease, the demand would therefore increase. The demand of any given product or service determines the price the average person is willing to pay to receive it. For example, a person would be willing to pay more for a product that is low in supply because it is high in demand. This rule of supply and demand is what has allowed us to learn how to manipulate our economy and control the different ways in which we are able to market goods and services.…
