This article discusses the difference in types of words used to describe each sex. The
words men used to describe women in the business field of economics were almost all sexually
charged. Some examples of the words used by men to describe female co-workers online are:
hotter, boobs, shopping, and horny. In contrast, the words used by women to describe
men were all over the board. While some had to do with sexuality, most didnt. Some examples
of the words used by women include: keys, irritate, homo, and advisor. This article
highlights the issue of sexism in the work place and states that it needs to be spoken about in
order to be fixed.

This article addresses whos leading in polls to lead the United States Federal Reserve.
Gary Cohn is currently leading in the polls with 49% of economists naming him as the most
likely candidate to be elected. In stark contrast, chairwoman Janet Yellen only has 17% of
economists backing her for a second term. There are other people being considered for the
position but after Trump said he was considering in these two for the position, they became the
most talked about. The article winds down by stating that with an unconventional president like
Trump, it wouldnt be far off base to have an unconventional candidate for the position.
