Activity: Delayed Gratification Savings Philosophy
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource provides a listening guide, student assignment and reflection on the topic of "Delayed Gratification", 24 hour rule and self control. In this short talk from TED U, Joachim de Posada shares a landmark experiment on delayed gratification -- and how it can predict future success with this priceless video of kids trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow. Mischel theorized that children who eat the marshmallow within the time period would not be as successful as children who waited for 15 minutes for another piece of marshmallow. Delayed gratification = the process that a person will gain a reward after resisting temptation.

Rating
0.0 stars

Marginal Cost/Benefit Decisions and the Investment Industry Watch video: DRUG SHORT ON NETFLIX in the Dirty Money Series (Series 1)This activity is meant to be used once Marginal Cost, Marginal Benefit and Diminishing Marginal Utility and Investing (short selling) are taught. The movie "Drug Short" is part of the Dirty Money Series 1 on Netflix. Underlying issues in this case are greed, ethics, corporate profit and efforts to maximize shareholder profit at all costs (even human life). This activity looks at the activites of pharmaceutical companies and their efforts to make money, yet disregarding the impact on people who rely on the medicine. Short seller investors "sold the stocks" of drug companies when the prices were high, predicting that there was unethical activities which would eventually bring the share price down. Short sellers make money by expecting share prices to fall, when they identify bad companies or unethical behavior (which is exactly what happened here).

Rating

Indigenous communities have traditionally shown skill and strength in managing resources to support their community on an ongoing basis. People have understood and practiced the concepts of budgeting and saving, managing resources by budgeting so that they last the year, and putting aside savings for future use. In today’s economy, managing money can feel stressful at times. A helpful step is to identify goals for you and your family. This booklet provides a set of  activities to help you do that. The worksheets can help you plan your money goals, track your spending, make a budget, and get ready for tax time. The land is our teacher. It teaches us about saving, sustainability and security. At creation animals, birds and fish were asked what they could teach humans. The animal world said humans can learn from our values, character and behaviour. In this booklet the animals will teach you about managing your money. Simon BrascoupéAnishinabeg/Haudenausanee Bear ClanMember of Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First NationVice-President Education and Training, AFOA Canada
