Economics Chapters 1-3

Chapter 1

Topic number 1: Scarcity

Scarcity affects life in America in many, many ways It affects America due to the limitations of the amount of goods and services provided either through scarcity or shortages. Scarcity refers to the limitation of provided goods while shortage refers to the services or goods that are unable to be provided To me, this means that I am limited on what I can buy due to a shortage or scarcity of products or services I am unable to get what I either need or want This can affect families through the way each of these things can affect the market and homes as a lack of certain items can lead people unable to survive. Scarcity affects the nation as we want products more than the products are able to be consumed. Some of it’s implications are that we are unable to create products to meet demand. Has Scarcity affected the country greatly in the last few years? How or Why is there such a large amount of consumption of goods or services in the country? Its impact is very important today because it shows how fast we consume items. Its relevance today is that we understand how fast we consume products..

Topic number 2: Trade-Offs

Trade-Offs affects life in America in a few ways In order to understand how trade-offs affect American life, we must first understand what trade-offs are. Trade-offs are the exchanges of products in a met agreement. Trade-offs occur in many different areas. Such as, individual, business, and society trade-offs. These trade-offs all affect America as trade-offs allow an exchange of goods for other. These exchanges of goods allows countries, instead of giving money exchange goods or services worth money instead. To me, this means that the America’s debt can be paid off by giving charged services or goods to other countries. This can affect families through the way it can lower tax and American citizens would not have to pay higher taxes. Trade-offs affects the nation through they way it provides a different way for money or goods or services can be gained without “paying”. Some of it’s implications are that money is not the only way debt could be paid off. Is it possible to pay off the country’s debt by using trade-offs. If so, why doesn’t the country use this as a way to pay off countries. Are they even considering using trade-offs as a way to pay off debt. Its impact is very important today because it can provide a way for America to clean itself of debt to other countries. It is more relevant today because of the country’s growing debt.

Topic number 3: Efficiency, Growth, and Cost.

Efficiency, Growth, and Cost affects life in America in many ways It affects America because all three of these topics affect America’s currency worth. To me, this means that if we are not efficient enough; grow enough; or provide enough cost it could mean America’s currency is worthless. This can affect families through the way money is circulating, if a country’s money is worth almost nothing, families won’t be able to buy the things they need to survive. Efficiency, Growth, and Cost affects the nation through they way it is so important to America’s welfare. Some of it’s implications are that these things affect America’s currency and how much the money is worth. What are some of the consequences of small efficiency and growth and large cost? Why are efficiency, growth and cost are grouped together? Its impact is very important today because of its importance to leading America to either toward or away from bankruptcy/debt. Its relevance today is just as important today, as it was a hundred years ago.

Chapter 2:

Topic 1: Who consumes Goods and services

Traditional economy affects life in America in a lot of ways. This affects America because it focuses on the habits or customs of people to decide how to produce and distribute it to them. To me, this means that in order for a service or good to gain money they have to create a product or service that appeals to a wider demographic. This can affect families due to the fact the some products or services that are created may not have appealed to them thus, they are still lacking the product or service that they need. This has affected the nation because of the way the current markets consume so much of these products and goods so quickly. Some of it’s implications are that traditional economies can only be targeted by a small amount of people. , How do they determine what products sell, Why do people consume and demand products quickly. Its impact is very important today because it shows the limitations of the economy. Its relevance today is that societies with traditional economies have fewer mechanisms to deal with disasters effectively.

Topic 2: Why Markets Exist

Markets affects life in America in a few ways It affects America because without many markets we wouldn't have the abilities to make most of the products that we buy or sell today. This is because of the fact that many of us don't have the skill required to create many of these products. To me, this means that people are able to get jobs because of specialization, due to the fact of the lack of self-sufficiency. This can affect families through in many ways. This is because of the fact that families who are able to produce foods are able to gain support and money for themselves. The Market affects the nation through they way it produces products for other people to buy or sell because of their lack of self-sufficiency. Some of it’s implications are that people are in need of the market because some people are insufficient What is the implication behind the fact that people are insufficient. If people were self-sufficient would there be no longer be a market?. Its impact is very important today because without a market we would have an economy

Topic 3:Problems of Centrally planned economies

Centrally planned economies affects life in America in many ways It affects America if it were to switch to this type of economy, it would fall. This is because people or companies lack any kind of innovation or reward if they don’t receive a significant increase of wealth or money. To me, this

means that if money was equally distributed in the United States, people would start to lack initiative because they don’t see an improvement in themselves or their communities. This can affect families through the way that they would not be able to help better themselves or their current situation. Centrally planned economies affects the nation through they way it encourages people to lack initiation or to lack innovation. Some of it’s implications are that although it seems to be a good idea, it will eventually fail. What sort of damage can this do to our country if it switches to this type of economy? How long will it take for us to
