Topic: Scarcity at School?


People always want more than we can get with their given resources. This forces us to make trade-offs, in order to get what we want. In every society, there are different types of scarcity. People always want this and that. Nonetheless, no one can get what one wants, even the richest person in the world can’t get all they want. Everything is limited.  For example, in PAS, teachers give students a lot of homework, quizzes, and test. However, students always want more time to do the homework or study for tests. In these situations, students hare having scarcity. In order to gain more time, students have to give up time from playing computer games and chatting with friends. Another example is that some teachers want more resources for the classes. However, there might not be enough budgets to provide these resources. For me, I want to have more break time, because sometimes during the break I have to go to the bathroom. Therefore I don’t have enough time to get my books and be on time for classes. I can’t think about another scarcity I have encountered in school because most of time, I don’t have to have that much of the thing, such as homework and quizzes.
