The basic discount rate is adjusted from time to time, in light of changing market conditions, to complement open market operations and to support the general thrust of monetary policy. Changes in the discount rate are made judgmentally rather than automatically and may somewhat lag changes in market rates. The immediate response of market interest rates to a change in the discount rate -- the announcement effect -- depends partly on the extent to which the change has been anticipated. If rates have adjusted in anticipation of a change in the discount rate, the actual event may have only moderate effects on market conditions.

  • American Dream Essay

    ...Why has individual success (the so called “American Dream”) seem to have been so important for the American sense of self and what other features of American society would you say a continuing faith in it has hidden? The American dream means many things to many different people but usually includes the notion of having the freedom to work hard in order achieve happiness and success. In the book, The Epic of America, Adams defines the American Dream as the “dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” It is an important cultural, historical and economic concept that has been a central point of American society for decades, building character in Americans and lending to their personal sense of self. Its history can be dated back to 1776 to the Declaration of Independence where by its states that everyone one is equal and has the right to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. From this statement American ideals were formed and people looked towards the fulfilment of their hopes and desires. The American Dream was a cultural myth and a reality for immigrants coming to the United States as well as middle and lower class Americans who sought a better future and believed that the American economy provided opportunities for them to succeed in life regardless of the family or social class they were born...

  • The American Dream Argumentative Essay

    ...Intro to Composition 15 October 2014 Don’t Worry, Be Happy “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” that is just one of many quotes of the idea of the American Dream. Many people have different perceptions of what they think the American Dream is; some people believe the American Dream doesn’t exist, some believe it’s about having a sustainable job and a family to take care of, and some people think it’s all about being rich and living life in the fast lane. There are many different opinions about this topic but the best one to ever come up is happiness. The key to the American Dream is happiness, there’s no point of going through life feeling sad and wanting people to feel bad for us, we as Americans can dictate those negative emotions and decide whether we want to be depressed for the rest of our lives or pursue the dream we’ve always wanted to achieve through hard work, personal values, and education. Happiness is the result of achievement, as individuals, we must figure out what we want to do once we’re out in the real world; whether it’s becoming rich and famous, or just owning a regular house in a middle class neighborhood, we all have goals that we are looking to achieve so that we can be happy but the only way that happiness can be obtained is through hard work. As Bill Rancic stated “The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there. You don’t...

  • American Dream Essay

    ... The American Dream The concept of the American Dream dates back to the time of birth of the United States of America. Specifically, it was originally referenced in 1776 in the United States Constitution by our founding fathers when they wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Since that time, the definition of the American Dream has evolved and taken on diverse meanings to different subsets of people. This has been particularly true as the social, educational, economic, and political factors within America have changed significantly with each generation. Despite the differences in the various definitions, these beliefs regarding the eventual realization of the American Dream remain primary: all people will obtain true equality, humankind will develop a genuine sense of unity, every individual will be truly valued as a person, and hard work will lead to and, subsequently, ensure success. Although the concept is now over 237 years old, the term “American Dream” was not actually introduced until 1931 when James Truslow Adams first used it in his book, The Epic of America. Adams stated: “The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone,...
