Our economic system is free market capitalism, and the benefits vastly outweigh the disadvantages. Capitalism has brought about reduced pricing in everyday items through competition, reduced pricing in large things like medical expenses through innovation (also furthered by competition), and a vast reduction in poverty in the last 50 years. Another advantage is that it requires consent on the side of both buyer and seller, without a third party like the govt. intervening.
Answer:
The quote refers to Atticus Finch’s speech, the lawyer personified in chapter 22 of the book "to kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee published in 1960 and brought to the screen in 1962. Atticus tells this phrase to aunt Alexandria, after Jem returns crying afterwards attending to the trial of Tom Robinson -black man accused of sexual assault- who says that "a trial is not something that children should see"
Explanation:
Atticus refers to the decision to defend an African-American man, knowing that the family would be put under the microscope because the trial was against a Caucasian accuser. The reference "by them" made by Atticus, is in relation to African-American youth, who from his point of view, must learn to live in a multicultural (and sometimes aggressive) world and do it as soon as possible, for their own good, in such a way that, it is easier for them to deal with it and adapt.
The book is a reference to racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Other issues tackled by H. Lee are class, courage, compassion and gender roles in America’s south traditionalist states. It has been taught in schools as a model to emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice.

Lee H. (1960) "to kill a mockingbird", J.B. Lippincott & Co., USA. Chapter 22.

Answer:
The best answer seems to be letter B. An individual often perceives the same concept or idea differently from another.
Explanation:
According to the quote by Van Morrison, a famous person's perception of himself is different than other people's perception of him. That simply means that different people, different individuals, can perceive the same idea in a contrasting manner to others. It may very well be that Van Morrison himself didn't wake up thinking he was famous, but that other famous people do. It all depends on their perception. Another example still related to fame is the way some people perceive it as good while others as bad. Those who see fame as a bad thing treasure their privacy and personal life. They value solitude and quietness. Those who see it as good desire the paparazzi, the flashes, the questions, even the intrusions. From their perception, all of that means they are important, loved, admired.
