Central Banking The banking system of the United States of America consists of the Federal Reserve System, commercial banks, savings and loans associations, mutual savings banks, and credit unions. The Federal Reserve System (the Fed) is the central bank of the United States. It was established in 1913 to promote a healthy economic climate that banks in financial difficulties by providing limited credit facilities. A central bank is often thought of a bankers’ bank, overseeing the banking system. The central bank also is usually the government ’s bank and conducts monetary policy in major developed countries .The Fed has a number of responsibilities, many involving the commercial banking system directly. These include regulating a major portion of the system and leading funds as required to all commercial banks and many other depository financial intermediaries. The Fed ’s influence on commercial banking in particular and on the whole financial system. The Federal Reserve System also provides federal insurance to commercial bank-members of insurance scheme. If these banks go bankrupt, their depositors will receive a compensation of up to 100,000 dollars for each account they had. Commercial banks can be thought of as the hub of the financial system. They are defined by federal statutes as an entity that accept demand deposits and makes commercial loans. They account more than 60 percent of all deposits in the United States. Commercial banks’ lending activity is also substantial. For example, the banks had almost $650 billion in commercial and industrial loans and $756 billion in mortgage loans outstanding at the end of 1989.They were by far the largest lenders to business and the second largest mortgage lenders after savings institutions. In recent years, they have surpassed savings institutions in mortgage lending in many periods. The Bank carried on as best it could until the expiry of its charter in 1836, when it sought and won a state charter as the Bank of the United States of Pennsylvania. The long and rancorous affair became known as the, and Jackson's victory in it precluded for almost 80 years--until the creation in 1913 of the FederalReserveSystem--any effective regulation of private banks in the United States.

Exercise 4. Translate the text into Russian and then sum up the text in 10 sentences and present your summary in class.: ADVERTISING Advertising is the nonpersonal communication of information, usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature, about products (goods and services) or ideas by identified sponsors through various media. Let’s take this definition apart and analyze its components. Advertising is directed to groups of people, rather than to individuals, and is therefore nonpersonal. The groups, for example, might be teenagers who enjoy rock music or older adults who attend cultural events. In either case, advertising to these groups is not personal or face-to-face communication. Direct-mail advertising often attempts to personalize the message by inserting the receiver's name one or more times in the letter. But direct mail is still nonpersonal; a computer inserted the name. And the signature on the direct-mail advertisement is produced electronically. Most advertising is paid for by sponsors. General Motors, Kmart, Coca-Cola, and the local supermarket pay money to the media to carry the advertisements we read, hear, and see. But some ads are not paid for by their sponsors. The American Red Cross, United Way, and the American Cancer Society are only three of hundreds of organizations whose messages are customarily presented by the media at no charge as a public service. Most advertising is intended to be persuasive—to win converts to a good, service, or idea. A company usually sponsors advertising to convince people its product will benefit them. Some ads, though, such as legal announcements, are intended merely to inform, not to persuade. In addition to promoting tangible goods such as suits, soap, and soft drinks, advertising also helps sell the intangible services of bankers, beauticians, and bike repair shops. And increasingly, advertising is used to sell a wide variety of ideas—economic, political, religious, and social. It's important to note here that, for the sake of simplicity, in this text the term product refers to both goods and services. For a message to be considered an advertisement, the sponsor must be identified. This seems obvious: Naturally, the sponsor usually wants to be identified—or else why pay to advertise? But a distinguishing characteristic between advertising and public relations is that certain public relations activities like publicity are normally not openly sponsored. Advertising reaches us through various channels of communication referred to as the media. In addition to the traditional mass media—radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and billboards—advertising also uses direct mail, shopping carts, and videocassettes. Exercise 5.

Translate the text into Russian and answer the questions: WHAT IS MARKETING? It is impossible to speak about marketing without understanding what “needs and wants” mean. So let’s begin with the definition of needs and wants. A need occurs when a person feels physiologically deprived of basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. A want is a felt need that is shaped by a person’s knowledge, culture, and personality. So if you feel hungry, you have developed a basic need and desire to eat something. Let’s say you then want to eat an apple or a candy bar because, based on your past experience and personality, you have these will satisfy your hunger need. Effective marketing, in the form of creating an awareness of good product at convenient locations, can clearly shape a person’s wants. The American Marketing Association, representing marketing professionals in the United States and Canada, states that "marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives." Many people incorrectly believe that marketing is the same thing as advertising or personal selling. This definition shows marketing to be a far broader activity. Further, this definition stresses the importance of beneficial exchanges that satisfy the objectives of both those who buy and those who sell ideas, goods, and services—whether they be individuals or organizations. To serve both buyers and sellers, marketing seeks (1) to discover the needs and wants of prospective customers and (2) to satisfy them. These prospective customers include both individuals buying for themselves and their households and organizations that buy for their own use (such as manufacturers) or for resale (such as wholesalers and retailers). The key to achieving these two objectives is the idea of exchange, which is the trade of things of value between buyer and seller so that each is better off after the trade. For marketing to occur, at least four factors are required: (1) two or more parties (individuals or organizations) with unsatisfied needs, (2) desire and ability on their part to be satisfied, (3) a way for the parties to communicate, and (4) something to exchange. Questions: 1.Differentiate between needs and wants. 2.What is marketing? 3.Is marketing the same as advertising or personal selling? 4.What factors are required for marketing to occur? Exercise 9.
