Choose an article on a topic (product/good/service) that affects your daily life.
For example, I found an article in the Chicago Tribune about coffee prices.
Briefly tell us what your article is about.
My article reported that although coffee prices are high, the price being paid to the coffee producers in Brazil has remained constant.
Which aspect of the article’s discussion affects your daily life?
Coffee growers are threatening to cut production in order to force the prices higher. This means that my $6 cup of coffee at Starbucks could become even more expensive.
What factors do you think are influencing the supply and demand of the product/good/service that is the subject of your article?
Americans have been conditioned by marketing to agree to pay $5 for a cup of coffee, so there is no reason for retailers to charge less.
Include the URL of the Web site where you found the article, so your classmates can access it.
