What is Retained Earnings?

The short answer is that retained earnings are earnings that are held back. Like in accounting it is the portion of earnings that are retained by the corporation instead of distribution to its owners. Also, it can refer to earnings of a firm that are not paid out to shareholders.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
