Q: As we have learned, scarcity is an economic fact. We always
want more than we can get with our given resources. This forces us to make
trade-offs; we give up one thing in order to get another. This is true in every
type of society, including that of our school. Write about some examples of
scarcity that the different entities at PAS encounter (students, teachers,
office staff, and so on), then write about what those entities have to give up
in order to get what they want. Finally, write about your own experiences with
scarcity at PAS. What are the resources that you want more of? What keeps you
from getting all that you want? What are some examples of some trade-offs that
you have had to make?
A: An example of the scarcity at school are the school facilities. The school campus only has one floor, and all of the teachers, staffs, and the students might need more space for teaching and learning. For art teachers and art students, it is necessary for them to have enough art supplies. Because our school is a private school, and the government does not have financial support for us. School then have to buy for the students, but in certain conditions, students have to buy for their own. As an art student myself, I required to buy most of my own art supplies. I wish that school can provide the art students for their supplies, but the head of school board have the decision to decide whether to support or not. I might need a higher grade on art to prove that the supplies are necessities.

ReplyDeleteMake sure that what you write is at least 200 words. This does not count the prompt that I gave you. In your last entry you only wrote 145 words. This time I won't mark you down, but in the future, anything less than 200 words will receive reduced points.
