The United States economy is one that is ever-changing, and its efficiency is constantly debated over. Capitalism has a vast amount of control over the economy, though in many cases it can be harmful. Mia Waldron defines capitalism as “An economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods; by investments that are determined by private decision; and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market” (2009).

The use of accounting information in valuation generates capital market incentives to manage earnings. Managers may manipulate earnings to improve market participants’ perception of the firm’s risk and performance. For example, extant research indicates that investors use benchmarks such as previous year earnings or analysts’ forecasts in evaluating performance, thus motivating firm’s to overstate earnings to meet or beat these targets (e.g., Burgstahler and Dichev, 1997). Anecdotal and empirical evidence suggests that investors prefer smooth earnings and persistent patterns of increasing earnings over volatile ones (e.g., Dechow and Dichev, 2002; Tucker and Zarowin, 2006).

In learning about Juvenile delinquency and theories on why delinquency occurs, I found that the choice theory was most applicable to a variety of juveniles and the reason why they choose to commit crimes. The choice theory suggests that “Juvenile offenders are rational decision makers who choose to engage in antisocial activity because they believe their actions will be beneficial”. (Siegel and Welsh, 2016, p. 58) It is my opinion, that most juveniles do have the ability to think for themselves and weigh the pros and the cons to committing a crime. I liked this theory most because I strongly agree that in the majority of juvenile delinquency cases, the act is a product of choice.
Director Alfred Hitchcock utilizes the theme of duplicity in numerous films. His use of doublegangers and doubles are prominently featured in the films Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt, and Vertigo.

In the film Shadow of a Doubt, the characters of Young Charlie and Uncle Charlie exemplify Hitchcock’s theme of doubles.
