Through the classwork about economy, I have seen that economy has been in my life since I can remember. Whether it is the clothes I put on, the shoes I wear, or the teachers that teach me, economy is there, in my life if I realize it or not. Economy's first step is production, or making a product. I have seen the Garelick Farms factory in Franklin, now knowing that this is very obvious evidence of production. The dairy products that I have used since I was a tiny toddler were manufactured there. Also, economy is based off of distribution of goods. I see eighteen-wheelers everywhere, such as Garelick Farms, sending and distributing dairy products to stores. This is explicit evidence it relates to my life, as I use, or consume, their products. Anything that I own, or have owned, is a good, and is/was consumed by me. In addition, economy can mean just selling a service to help someone, which is in my everyday life! I have even sold services myself- Lawnmowing for money. Whether it's teachers teaching, or getting a haircut, I have experienced services extremely often! Without economy in my life, who knows what my world would be like!

The importance of Being Bothered
It is important to to be bothered for many reasons. This feeling is productive and helps in many instances. For example, Michael Jordan chose to be bothered when he got cut from his High School Varsity Team. Without this crucial emotion inside him, he would have just been sad, moping around, and frustrated. But he didn´t. Jordan chose that it was in his best interest to be bothered, to work hard, and make the team. This shows that being bothered can make you do truly great things, Jordan now being one of the most famous basketball players of all time, making it to the hall of fame.
In addition, being bothered makes the world a better place a little bit more. In the Video ¨Georgia Orphan´s Mission: Make others smile¨, Jaden chose to be bothered that others didn't smile, rather than going about his own, sad life. When his moonshot thinking started, he gave away ducks, and made others lives much more happy. This became a way to make his whole community brighter by just that small duck.
Finally, when not being bothered, the world stays the same, boring self, with crime and worse. Take GenerationOn, for instance. The group created projects for almost every topic. Without this moonshot, bothered thinking, those very helpful projects wouldn't have even existed, and the world would have been not nearly as good as it is today.
According to many articles, being bothered plays a big role in being successful, making the world better, and keeping things different.
