12 Factors Which Influence Demand for a Commodity (Useful Notes)

Fashion
There are several factors which influence the quantity demanded of a commodity. Important among them are the price of the commodity, the price of related commodities, and income of the consumer, taste and preference of consumers, size of population and various other factors.It is essential to observe the separate effect of each variable on the quantity demanded. It helps to consider the effect of a change in all the variables on the quantity demanded at the same time.This enables economists to develop a theory of consumer’s demand.

Useful Notes on the Early Attempts Made for the Classification of Elements

Fashion
(i) About more than one hundred years ago Lavisher discovered that some elements resembled in their properties. He classified the thirty then known elements into metal and non-metals to study their acid and basic properties.But his classification could not account for those elements which had the properties of both metals and non-metals. Image Source: skmclasses.weebly.com ADVERTISEMENTS: (ii) Determiner’s triads: Determiner in 1829 observed that there were certain groups of three similar elements called triads.

Short Speech on “Together we have the Power to make a Difference”

Construction
In martial arts, one is trained to develop power in each and every finger. In fact, kung fu uses lots of techniques where fingers are used to get devastating effects. When these fingers come together to form a punch, the tremendous nature of the impact created can hardly be exaggerated. The example given here, though, should not be looked upon as a glorification of violent instincts.Karate or kung fu is a sport, not a violent exhibition of one’s barbaric nature. Further, even when we talk about individual power in karate, we talk about the body, the mind and the spirit coming together to act in harmony to a produce a terrific impact. So even individual power requires coming together of different things. It calls for coordination of different body parts…

Speech on “Tradition is an Obstacle to Progress”

Fashion
Thoughts, ideas and values practised for generations come together to form a culture. The cultural values practised through generations create a tradition. Thoughts of one generation differ from those of the other and so do the values. So, a conflict of two generations is inevitable.

The question is whether this is the whole truth.The traditional Indian father wants to see his son get married in a dhoti and kurta. The son would prefer a western outfit on the day of marriage as it is in harmony with the latest trends in fashion. But is…

Speech on the Family Occasions which I like and those I Detest

Fashion
There are six of us in our family—my grandfather, mother, father, elder sister, elder brother and myself. What that means is that we celebrate six birthdays a year.The best thing about a birthday in the family is that everybody is on his or her best behaviour that day. I suppose it stems from the sentiment that the person whose birthday it is should in no way be made to feel unhappy. This special consideration for a single person spills over to the others as well.No doubt there are the customary celebrations in the evenings like going to a play, a concert or even a movie, and the special dinner at a restaurant (we skip this on Grandpa’s birthday, and Ma makes him his favourite dishes at home), but what I…

Speech on the Modern Fashion Trends (337 Words)

Fashion
‘Are you wearing the latest from Gucci?’‘No, I prefer the latest designer wear from Rohit Ball’ ADVERTISEMENTS: These are lines often heard in the fashion conscious creme de la creme of Indian society. The story is the same in almost any commercially ‘happening’ city in the world except that the names of the designers keep changing.

The Indian fashion world got global attention after Miss Sushmita Sen and Miss Aishwarya Rai won the much coveted Miss Universe and Miss World titles respectively in 1994.
