Answer:

It's a tax levied by a government usually on imported goods. A country produces a certain type of goods. Another country produces the same goods for less. When the imported good are sold, they are sold for less than the domestically produced goods sell for. The local manufactures loose sales to the imported goods. The government of the importing country applies a tariff to the imported goods raising their prices, and now that the imported goods cost more, the local goods have a better chance of competing for sales. This is why it is called a "protective" tariff, because it is protecting the local industry.

Write a description of at least one real-life problem that has to be solved or decision that has to be made using good judgment,

Sergeu [11.5K]

An example that I would give of a situation in which a real-life problem has to be solved or a decision has to be made using good judgement would be the case of deciding what to study in university:

"When I had to decide what I was going to study, I immediately put journalism out of my mind, as I believed it did not suit my personality. Even though I loved writing, I had always imagined that journalists had to be aggressive, overconfident and pushy, and that news only happened in other, more interesting places. I could not see how that could fit me. The school counselor I talked to kept telling me that this was not the case, but my belief perseverance would not let me listen to other information. In the end I decided to go for accounting. I believed that accounting was only about boring numbers, and for the first few months, I was responsible of confirmation bias, as that was the only thing I noticed about my studies. However, over time, I grew to like the path I had chosen, and I do not regret it."
