Barcelona is the skateboarding capital of the world. It is a Mecca that skaters from all over the world recognize and dream of being able to skate. While many other places around the world are very recognizable for skaters, like: Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Tokyo, Berlin, San Francisco, and New York, nothing compares to Barcelona. This makes one think, what drives skaters to continue to come to Barcelona? If one were to ask any skateboarder this question, their answer would be obvious. It's the spots! All over the city, Barcelona contains some of the most infamous spots in skateboarding history. This is an undeniable fact of what brings skateboarders to Barcelona, but what is it that drives us to come back? This is the more crucial opaque question. Most skaters would probably not know how to respond because they haven't thought much about it. Spanish culture is much more accepting, inclusive, laid back, and not time-oriented compared to the culture of the United States, where skateboarding began. The incongruent culture causes many Americans to have negative stereotypes and outlooks on skaters. Unlike the United States, Spain has almost identical characteristics to skateboard culture, bringing skaters back to Spain. Skateboarding has immensely integrated into Spanish society not just because the places to skate in Spain are extraordinary but also because of their analogous cultures.

 In the book The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and The Age of Amazon by Brad Stone, Stone describes Jeff Bezos’s story and the origins of Amazon. It goes through all of Amazons struggles and their triumphs. Along the way, Amazon had many battles and was presented with many ethical issues. One ethical issue presented was when Amazon would get authors to sell their digital copies of their books to Amazon to put in the new Kindle as an E-book. Instead of selling these E-books for regular prices, Bezos decided to sell them for all $9.99. Not only did this cause Amazon to lose money, but it also caused booksellers to become angry with Amazon. Bezos knew that publishers would hate the price of $9.99, so Amazon decided not to let the publishers know what they were planning on selling the E-books for.
