Economics Major Personal Statement

143 Words1 Page

At Yonsei, I want to study as an Economics major. I’ve taken a lot of courses in multiple disciplines, from the STEM field to humanities. Amongst the wide range of courses I have explored, I have found that I am easily able to follow the logic behind economic theories. Economics and sustainability are two fields that are closely intertwined and often conflict with one another. Economics teaches people how to maximize profits and efficiency, but a profit-driven mindset often leads to environmental destruction. I do believe that is possible to find a good balance between environmental protection and business practices. While in Korea, I plan to take classes to learn about Asian Economies while also exploring classes about sustainability. If

  • Freakonomics: A Literary Analysis

    670 Words  | 3 Pages

    Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt have successfully entertained me with their novel, Freakonomics, which talks about economics in an in-depth and analytical level. The authors attempt to challenge subjective truths at face values, show how data can be rearranged, and how there is always a hidden side to everything. They attack every day aspects of life to shine humanity on figures we regard as untouchable and they are challenging the normal, hackneyed rhetoric about the way the world works. Ultimately, the authors make the world more inquisitive by offering statistics on subjects in order to look at an issue from a different perspective, they use economic approaches to analyze the connection between disciplines, and they offer insight to the deeper causes to major influences in history by appealing to authorities.
