1 Louise Melson is the owner of a small bookstore in a big city. She has only three employees. Down the block is a huge chain store. It has many more products and services. It also sells the same books at lower prices. As a result, Louise will have to close her shop. She will be forced to find another way to make a living. How does she feel about this? 2 “It’s a sad day, to be sure,” says Louise. “My family has owned this little shop for years. We are unique in that we have helped local artisans and vendors from the area. They sell their crafts here. It just doesn’t seem fair that we should have to close because the ‘big boys’ have moved into town.” 3 Louise’s customers are just as unhappy. They are used to receiving personal attention when they shop at Louise’s store. “She is like an old friend to me,” says Arnold Bruhill. “Shopping just won’t be the same at one of those chain stores!” 4 Like it or not, the marketplace is changing from small to big. People like Louise are finding it harder and harder to keep their businesses open in today’s world. Not everyone may like the changes taking place, but sadly we all must learn to live with it..

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
