Temple Archives

At the temple university my historical context group and i looked at pictures from 1977 of Dick Clark hosting american  bandstand. I also looked at pictures of the community and the EL when it was running over ground in 1955. I had  a great time looking at the pictures and I think i'd like to go back to the urban archives again.

Advantages

This week I learned about two different kinds of advantages. 
Absolute advantage: is the ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer.

Comparative advantage: is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer.

With what I've learned about the advantages I was able to get a good idea of what the production possibilities frontier was and how it works.
