Can the can abstract

 

Provisionally at least, we come to the following conclusion: the material conditions expressed familiarly by the terms "supply" and "demand" are likewise subsumed in the understandings of good treat­ment built into the procedure of Melanesian trade. But then, how do exchange ratios remain immune to short-lived changes in supply/ demand?

Certain reasons for this short-term stability have already been men­tioned. First, the customary rates have moral force, understandable from their function as standards of fair conduct in an area where tenuous intergroup relations constantly menace the peace of trade.

And although moral practice everywhere may be vulnerable to expe­diency, it is usually not so easy to change the rules. Secondly, in the event of an unbalance of quantities on hand relative to demand (at the prevailing rate of exchange), partnership trade opens more attractive alternatives to cutting the "asking price" or raising the offer: better to find new partners for trade at old rates; or else to embarrass an existing partner by a large overpayment, obliging him to extend him­self and later on reciprocate, again thus defending the usual rate. The last is not an hypothetical tactic of my own devising. Consider this Busama technique for encouraging a supply of pigs:

The difference between the native method of doing business and our own was made plain by an exchange which took place early in 1947. The Salamaua area had suffered more damage than the northern settlements, most of which still had their pigs. On the resumption of voyages after the Japanese defeat, a man from Bukawa' had the notion of bringing a young sow to a Busama kinsman named Boya. The animal was worth about £ 2, but hints indicated that pots would be more acceptable than money. A collection of ten was required for a reasonable equivalent, and as Boya had only five to spare he informed his relatives that anyone prepared to assist would in due course receive a piglet. This invitation was accepted, and twenty-two pots were contributed, making a total of twenty-seven. All were handed over to the visitor, rather to his surprise, as he confessed to me in private. Yet such generosity was not as absurd as it may appear: by giving so much Boya imposed an obligation on his guest to bring across another sow (Hogbin, 1951, pp. 84-85).

The success of Boya's manoeuvre was made possible only by the social qualitites of the trade relation. Partnership is not merely the privilege but the duty of reciprocity. Specifically it comprehends the obligation to receive as well as to repay. Some people may end up with more of a certain good than they needed, expected or bargained for, but the point is they did not bargain for it. A trade friend is prevailed upon to accept things for which he has no use; thereupon, he will have to repay—-for no good "economic" reason. Father Ross of Mt. Hagen seems not to have appreciated the spiritual ethic involved:



The missionary told the author that natives who have traded with him, and who are in needy circumstances at the moment, will come to the mission station with items possessing no material value and which have no utility to the missionary. The natives seek to trade these items in exchange for things they need. Upon his refusal the natives point out to him that his conduct is not proper, for according to their view he is their friend and should accept a thing which he does not need so as to assist them when they need such help. They will say to him, "You buy our food, we sell you our pigs, our boys work for you. Therefore you should buy this thing which you claim you do not want, and it is not right for you to refuse to purchase it" (Gitlow, 1947, p. 68).18

 

18. The misunderstanding is cultural and economic, obviously independent of race and religion: "... Nuer do not regard purchase from an Arab merchant in the way in which we regard purchase from a shop. It is not to them an impersonal trans­action, and they have no idea of price and currency in our sense. Their idea of purchase is that you give something to a merchant who is thereby put under an obligation to help you. At the same time you ask him for something you need from his shop and he ought to give it to you because, by taking your gift, he has entered into a reciprocal relationship with you. Hence kok has the sense of 'to buy' or 'to sell.' The two acts are an expression of a single relationship of reciprocity. As an Arab merchant regards the transaction rather differently misunderstandings arise. In the Nuer way of looking at the matter what is involved in an exchange of this kind is a relation between persons rather than between things. It is the merchant who is 'bought' rather than the goods. ..." (Evans-Pritchard, 1956, pp. 223-224).

 

Working the same principle, the people of the hinterland above Sio (northeast New Guinea) may overcome their coastal partners' reluc­tance to trade:

The Sios also, of course, frequently accept goods which they do not need at the time. When I asked one Sio man why he had four bows (most men have more than one), he replied: "If a bush [trade-] friend comes with a bow, you have to help him" (Harding, 1967, pp. 109-110).

Finally, a striking example of the same, appended by Malinowski to his description of fish-yam exchange (wasi) between different Trobr-iand communities. To this day, Malinowski noted, inland yam grow­ers continued to insist on their coastal partners' obligation to receive, thus periodically teasing from the latter a supply of fish, and at the usual terms, though the fishing people could occupy themselves much more profitably diving for pearls. Money thus remained the servant of custom, and partnership the master of indigenous exchange rates:

Nowadays, when the fishermen can earn about ten or twenty times more by diving for pearls than by performing their share of the wasi, the exchange is as a rule a great burden on them. It is one of the most conspicuous examples of the tenacity of native custom that in spite of all the temptation which pearling offers them, and in spite of the great pressure exerted upon them by white traders, the fishermen never try to evade a wasi, and when they have received the inaugurating gift, the first calm day is always given to fishing, and not to pearling (Malinowski, 1922, p. 188 n).

So acting to maintain the stability of exchange values, the trade partnership merits a more general and respectful interpretation of its economic significance. The primitive trade partnership is a functional counterpart of the market's price mechanism. A current supply-demand imbalance is resolved by pressure on trade partners rather than exchange rates. Where in the market this equilibrium is effected by a change in price, here the social side of the transaction, the partnership, absorbs the economic pressure. The rate of exchange remains undisturbed—although the temporal rate of certain trans­actions may be retarded. The primitive analogue of the business price mechanism is not the customary exchange rate; it is the customary exchange relation.

Short-term consistency of exchange values is thus accomplished. Yet the same deflection of the pressure from the rate of exchange to the relation of partnership makes the latter all the more vulnerable to a sustained discrepancy of supply-demand. Suppose a continuing and/or widening disparity between the traditional exchange rate and the amount of goods actually disposable—due, it may be, to some new facility in the acquisition of one of the goods at issue. Then partner­ship trade increases the material pressure in the course of repeatedly resolving it. Holding steady the terms of exchange, the tactic of over­payment proves equitable and endurable only if the supply-demand unbalance is reversible. Otherwise, an inherent tendency to accumu­late volume makes it unsupportable. For by an attack on a partner's obligation to receive, granted his possible delay in response, exchange proceeds always at the quantity sought by the most importunate party. In this respect, the inducement to production and exchange exceeds even the dynamic of the competitive market.

That is to say, at any permutation of supply moving above or below demand at a certain price, the volume of exchange implied by partner­ship trade is greater than the analogous market equilibrium. Perhaps the available quantity of pigs is momentarily less than the quantity demanded at a rate of one pig = five pots; tant pis for the pig raisers: they will have to deliver more at the same rate, to the point that all the pots are exhausted, In the open market, the total quantity trans­acted would be lower, and on terms more favorable to the trade in pigs.

Plain to view that, if the disparity persists between the going rates and the goods on hand, partnership trade must discover its limits as an equilibrating mechanism, always making a supply available to the demand and always on the usual terms. Taken at the social level, the trade becomes irrational: one group enters into economic develop­ment by pre-emption of another group's labor. Nor could the harassed set of partners be expected to indefinitely countenance the imbalance, any more than a society that tolerated the procedure could be expect­ed to continue indefinitely. On the individual level the irrationality most likely presents itself as a disutility to accumulation, more con­crete than the unrequited cost of production. There must come a moment, after a man is in possession of five bows, or perhaps it is ten, or maybe twenty, when he begins to wonder about the advisability of collecting all the stuff his partner seems intent on unloading. What happens then, when people become unwilling or unable to meet their trade obligations? If we knew, it would unlock the last of the mysteries empirically posed by Melanesian trade: the observed tendency of exchange values to adjust over the long run, if not over the short, to changes in supply/demand. For the apparent solution is to evaluate the rates. But how?

By a relocation of trade, a revision of partnerships. We know, on one hand, what happens when a trade partner is disinclined to reciprocate. The sanction everywhere is dissolution of the partnership. For a time a man can stall, but if he delays too long, or fails in the end to make the adequate return, the trade relation is broken off. In such an event, moreover, the volume of exchange declines, and the pressure to trade thus mounts. On the other hand, we also know (or we suppose) that the process by which exchange value is determined in the first place, i.e. through reciprocal good measure, incorporates current average supply-demand conditions. The solution, thus, to a persistent discon-firmity between exchange values and supply/demand would be a social process by which old partnerships are terminated and new ones negotiated. Perhaps even the network of trade will have to be mod­ified, geographically and ethnically. But in any case, a fresh start, going through with new partners the traditional tactful manoeuvres of reciprocal overpayment, restores the correspondance between exchange value and supply/demand.

This model, if hypothetical, corresponds to certain facts, such as the social organization of the deflation experienced in Melanesian trade networks during the postcontact period. The indigenous trade contin­ued for some time without the benefit of businesslike competition. But the same Europeans who brought excessive quantities of axes, shells or pigs also happened to impose peace. In the colonial era the sphere of Melanesian safe-conduct expanded, the social horizons of tribal communities widened. A significant reshuffling and extension of trade contacts became possible. And a revaluation of trade rates as well: as, for example, in the coast-hinterland trade of Huon Gulf, on the whole more recently opened up, and apparently much more sensitive to supply/demand than the traditional maritime trade (Hogbin, 1951, p. 86; cf. Harding, 1967).

Which leads to a final suggestion: depending on the social qualities of the trade relation, the rates of exchange in differently organized trade systems are probably differentially sensitive to changes in sup­ply/demand. The precise nature of the partnership becomes signifi­cant: it may be more or less sociable, so admitting of longer or shorter delays in reciprocation—trade-kinship, for example, probably longer than trade-friendship. The prevailing relation has a coefficient of economic fragility, and the entire system accordingly a certain re­sponsiveness to variations of supply/demand. The simple matter of customary privacy or publicity may be similarly consequential; per­haps it is feasible (for all one knows) to secretly come to new terms with old partners. And what freedom is given within the system to recruit new partners? Aside from the difficulties of breaking paths into villages or ethnic groups previously outside the system, partner­ships may be by custom inherited and the set of contacts thus closed, or perhaps more readily contracted and the exchange values thereby more susceptible to revision. In brief, the economic flexibility of the system depends on the social structure of the trade relation.

If the process as outlined does truly describe long-term variations in exchange value, then at a high level of generalization and with a great deal of imperfection it is like business competition. Of course the differences are profound. In primitive trade, the path to economic equilibrium lay not across the play of autonomous individuals or firms fixing a price through the parallel contentions of buyers and sellers. It began rather from the interdiction of competition within the com­munity of either, traversed a structure of institutional arrangements that with varying facility brought together partners mutually obliged to be generous, upon separating those not so inclined, to negotiate in the end an analogous "price." The similarity to market trade appears when abstraction is made of all this—and of the protracted space-time scale, perhaps in reality a changeover of decades from trade with one ethnic group to partnerships in another. Then the primitive system, globally considered, does bring those particular persons into relations of trade, and at those rates, as reasonably reflect the availability and utility of goods.

But what is the theoretical status of this residual resemblance? First appreciated in its bourgeois form, does this make it the analytical private property of conventional Economics? One might fairly judge not, for in its bourgeois form the process is not general, while in its general form it is not bourgeois. The conclusion to this aspect of Melanesian trade will serve 'as well for the whole: a primitive theory of exchange value is also necessary, and perhaps possible—without saying it yet exists.

Can the can abstract

The article describes the problem of the influence of graffiti-spraying and other forms of low-level delinquency on human behavior. It gives information about the “broken windows theory” developed by Doctor Kelling that explains some tendency for people to behave in one way or another. In addition, there are also some experiments directed on to proving the theory. They show that petty crime rate rises in polluted and anti-social environment. In other words, those researches (always Sg - uncountable) points that in most cases people behave as their encirclement (WW). In conclusion it must be mentioned that those results obviously will help to define problems leading to different crimes and even to prevent lawbreaking.

Very good (9,5)

The main problem of the article is that disorder, for example, litter, leads to a significant increase in crime rate. The article deals with the “broken windows theory”, which is strongly connected with this problem. The text gives a valuable information on the study, which proves this theory. It gives a detailed analysis of different situations, in which the behavior of people in places, where there is a disorder, is compared with behavior of people in clear places. Results of the study showed that the number of crimes, made in places, covered with litter and graffities, is twice bigger than the number of crimes, committed in tidy places. Thus, the research of this kind may help to decrease the crime rate.

Very good (10), mind your introduction, you can't say the problem of the article - it's the problem discussed in the article.

This article deals with the a “broken windows theory” which states that there is a link between the behavior of people and what they observe others to be doing. Kees Keizer and his colleagues made a series of experiments to find out whether it is true or false. In their experiments they observed the changes changings in the way of people behave that were caused by the signs of vandalism, litter and low – level law-breaking. The text gives a detailed description of them and their results. There are also lots of examples from a real life that confirm the theory. The information from this article may help to decrease the crime rate and is of interest to every person.

Very good (9) though you could say more about the results.

The article deals with the idea that graffiti-spraying and other forms of petty crimes promote anti-social behavior. Many psychologists and sociologists can prove it. They use a special technique of a social experiment conducted in a usual urban environment, when they compare peoples’ behavior in the atmosphere of disorder on the one hand and order on the other another hand. The examples of such experiments and quite surprising and even frightening results are shown in the text. The article will interest everybody, who is keen on sociology and psychology and who feels that this problem can be real in any city.

Very good (9), but the section where you describe major results of the experiment (underlined) seems incomplete, you didn’t reveal what actual results were, but gave your emotional evaluation, which is not acceptable.

This article represents the work of researchers in the Netherlands referred to the problem of improper environment affecting the rate of petty crime. Kees Keiser and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments, which were aimed at the revealing that such kind of environment as littered streets and buildings all covered in graffiti can increase the rate of such crimes as ignoring road signs??? or stealing from mailboxes. Also it contains the explanation of Dr Kelling`s and Wilson`s “broken windows theory”. All the features are given, so you can compare and make your own opinion about this essential problem.

 

Very good (9), though I didn’t like the final sentence containing personal address to the audience. Try to stick to the academic style that tends to be impersonal.

 

The article deals with the fact that people’s observing disorder around them results in the rise of in the crime rate. Kees Keizer from the University of Groningen named the idea the “broken windows theory”. With a the help of his colleagues he conducted several experiments, which proved the theory. Two? experiments involved bicycle owners: the researchers placed leaflets on the bicycles and examined the reaction in a situation of order and disorder. The signs of vandalism resulted in increasing the number of people starting littering.The paper also emphasizes that the number of people ready to steal doubles in a condition of disorder.It is concluded that d
