Thrasher TV: An Effective Tool To Learn Business
Posted on March 16th, 2009
Thrasher TV offers a very innovative way of teaching people about things in businesses. Their audience in my opinion, are the teenagers who’s having a hard time understanding business terms.
One episode of Thrasher TV discussed about Stocks. The hosts first lay two technical definitions of stocks, and both contains highfalutin words that is hard to understand by an ordinary student. What the hosts did was to simplify it by making a diagram of what a stock is.
STOCK = SHARE = OWNERSHIP
I guess, that’s the easiest and simplest way of defining what a stock is. And that’s true, Stock simply means an ownership or share of a particular person in a company.
They also discussed NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. They define the two by citing examples that will appear very effective for young students. Another good thing about how they give example is the fact that, the examples they gave was very timely and widely known and frequently encountered by ordinary people especially the students. Some of their examples are: Mcdonald’s, Starbucks, American Apparel and K-Mart.
NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange also takes some ticker symbols for the stocks. NASDAQ takes 4 letter ticker symbols, while New York Stock Exchange takes 1, 2, or 3 letter symbols. Some of the examples they gave was: PG (for Procter and Gamble) and AAPL (for Apple).
Thrasher TV will sure help the amateurs in the business to understand business terms easier. They discuss things that are relevant and commonly used in the business so as the person who would want to enter a venture or business will not have a hard time coping up when encountering business words or terms.
Thrasher TV is an effective tool in achieving knowledge about business. Students and the others will sure enjoy learning by using this teaching medium, especially now that more people are on line, so most of the time, reading books bores them a lot.
