All You Need to Know About Prank Calls

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in the late nineteenth century, he intended to provide humanity with a reliable way to create a method of instantaneous communication.  However, once an invention is made public, people develop a great deal more uses for any invention than the inventor intended.  The telephone is no exception.  No one is sure when the telephone became a device that can be used for comedy.  However, prank calls have become a part of society.  For those who make prank calls, they are a source of comedy and laughs.  For those of us who receive them, these calls, while mildly funny, are a waste of time and a source of massive irritation.

A prank call can be best defined as a call made for the sole purpose of rattling, confusing, and irritating a target which is either chosen specifically or at random.  One of the most infamous examples of a prank call involves a person calling an individual, and asking “, is your refrigerator running?” Naturally, the receiver, who is unaware of the caller’s original intent, answers with an affirmative response.  The initiator of the call, then says “, well, sounds like you better go catch it.”  After this response, the phone is hung up, and no further communication is had.  This is the most basic form of prank calls that can be attempted.  Prank calls, like any other joke, have taken on a life of their own. Many people, who engage in this questionable practice, have placed their ideas on the World Wide Web, using sites such as YouTube and others.

There are several types of prank calls.  First of all, there is the harassment and misinformation calls.  These calls can be made to those people who have placed classified advertisements.  These types of calls are intended to occupy people’s time and to generally shock people.  Secondly, these types of calls are also intended to catch people off-balance, and can be made at any time.  However, research has shown that prank calls should be made in the night.   This catches people when they are tired and mentally slow.  These two factors can make for some quite interesting and hilarious telephone conversation.

If a person does not wish to create animosity between themselves and their neighbors, then you might wish to make prank calls to commercial entities, and make ludicrous complaints such the those levied against a toilet paper manufacturer in a call located on the Web titled “Toilet Paper Splinter”, which can be located at http://www.kdkprankcalls.com/prankcalls/index.html. While these calls are hilarious, they are illegal in many states and cities.  Therefore, I must tell you that I neither condemn nor condone making these types of calls.  Do so at your own risk.

Distribution of Wealth

The distribution of wealth has been thinking on the part of thinkers since antiquity . According to Plato , wealth should be distributed in an egalitarian way, while according to Aristotle , it was to be distributed in proportion to the effort of each.By introducing the concept of charematistic Aristotle condemned the practice of accumulating wealth for themselves and not for any purpose other than personal enjoyment.

Year Middle Ages , Thomas Aquinas sought to reconcile the thought of Aristotle with Christian doctrine, and has developed the scholastic philosophy . In this context, he took over Aristotle’s ideas on the economy , and tried to change the mind of the Church in the area of interest .

The xvi th  century until the middle of xviii th  century , the economic doctrine of mercantilism advocated the enrichment of nation-states first using the gold imported from the colonies ( bullionism developed mainly in Spain and Portugal), then the trade , but also of industrialization .

In the second half of the xviii th  century , Adam Smith , founder of the so-called classical school of economics , criticized mercantilism, and in particular the bullionism , refusing to gold and silver value measurement wealth, and stressing that this is essentially a princely wealth. He explains that the origin of the net worth of nations is more work (concept of division of labor ), the accumulation of capital , and the size of the market.

Subsequently, the production of wealth will be associated with the notion of production factors , which are mainly capital and labor .
