Post in Facebookarmagedon (Mariana Lover): List all things you want in life.Ask your classmates what either wants are.You will find out that your and your classmates' wants are almost infinite.This is not surprising because human wants are really unlimited.

armagedon (Mariana Lover): However, do u have the means to satisfy all ur wants? Perhaps, you want expensive shirts, pants, and shoes.You want to tour around the world.And, you want to drive ur own car.Because u don't have an unlimited supply of money (which is ur resource),you cannot satisfy all ur wants.This is the basic economic fact: MAN CANNOT SATISFY HIS UNLIMITED WANTS BECAUSE HE HAS LIMITED RESOURCES.

armagedon (Mariana Lover): For intance,u don't have enough money to buy a pair of shoes,pants,and shirt at the same time.So, u have to decide which among these items u should first buy.Your decision will based on certain factors-necessity,for intance.If u decide to buy a pair of shoes,u will have to give up buying a pair of pants and a shirt.u TRADE OFF buying pants and a shirt with buying a pair of shoes.Choice always involves tradeoffs.
