Explain this economic sentence/term to me, please.?
Well, I agree that it's not the best phrased sentence, but if you think about what it's saying, it's actually quite easy to grasp. Think of personal wealth as a cup of water. If your cup is completely full, you're wealthy, half full, you're middle class, near empty, poor. Think of the economy as a swimming pool, and the financial markets as a hose. Let's say there are 1000 people standing around the pool waiting to fill their cups. If the pool is almost empty, people aren't going to be able to fill their cups. They might get a little, most likely those that are first to the pool will go ahead fill their cups & everyone that comes after will get less. Now, enter the hose (the financial markets). The hose turns on and the pool begins to fill. Now, as the pool fills (in other words, the economy's wealth increases) everyone can put more water in their cups (they can build their personal wealth). This is basically what it's saying. I hope that made sense, I tried to use an example that would paint the picture...
Could someone rephrase or explain this sentence "there is also the value-laden nature of attributions of expertise, afforded based on who has the knowledge, not because of the nature of what is known" (English is not my mother tongue)?
This is academic jargon, not good writing in any language. For openers, it’s unclear who or what is doing the “affording” (weak verb) or what is meant by “the nature of what is known.”However, there is a nugget of truth that might translate something like, “The value accorded a statement is based not on the quality of the information but rather on the identity of the one stating it.”To paraphrase an old saying, “It’s not what we know but who knows it.”
How would you rephrase sentences to make them longer?
This question struck me, because I usually find the opposite is the problem: writers string together so many long, convoluted sentences that meaning is lost. They really need to break them up into shorter sentences. (I just did that myself now, when I was tempted to make those first 2 sentences one, with an ‘and.’)But if you find that you are writing so many short sentences that your prose starts to sound like a telegraph (if anyone still knows what that is), one suggestion is to combine related sentences by connecting them with coordinating conjunctions: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Or converting one sentence to a subordinate clause, and connecting it to the other.
How would you rephrase this sentence to make it more understandable: "Letting citizens vote without an education is as irresponsible as putting them in charge of a trireme sailing to Samos in a storm"?
Why rephrase it at all, since the statement is ridiculous. Just because someone is uneducated, doesn’t mean they don’t know what they are doing. Example: Andrew Carnegie, industrialist and philanthropist, and one of the first mega-billionaires in the US.

When people say rephrasing when misunderstood what is that means?
When some one rephrases something they change the words into more simple, easy to digest ones here's an example: A: "Hey Tony! How are you?" B: "I feel like my head's in a blender..." A: "Eh?" B: "Allow me to rephrase: I have a headache." A: "Oh!" A: "So what's wrong with me Doctor?" B: "It would appear the intake of glucose and Syracuse causes an endothermic reaction which causes your high body Temperature." A: "... In English...?" B (rephrasing): "You eat meat or sugar and you'll feel really warm." Rephrasing is a way to make sentences we have difficulty understanding into easier to understand sentences. To rephrase: It simplifies the words! :D
What does the sentence “I appeal to your sense of decency” mean? How can I paraphrase it, especially the word “appeal”?
To appeal to someone's sense of decency is to try to convince them of something on the basis of thinking or doing otherwise would not be decent. A sense of decency can be as simple as trying not to act in a way causes unnecessary suffering to others. Other people expand this to include not acting in a way that they consider to be disgusting.
Can someone paraphrase this?
Act 1 Scene 2 in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. {paraphrase sentence by sentence not line by line} Well, Brutus, thou art noble. Yet I see Thy honorable mettle may be wrought From that it is disposed. Therefore it is meet That noble minds keep ever with their likes, For who so firm that cannot be seduced? Caesar doth bear me hard, but he loves Brutus. If I were Brutus now and he were Cassius, He should not humor me. I will this night, In several hands, in at his windows throw, As if they came from several citizens, Writings all tending to the great opinion That Rome holds of his name, wherein obscurely Caesar’s ambition shall be glancèd at. And after this let Caesar seat him sure, For we will shake him, or worse days endure.
