The Assyrians lived in the northern Mesopotamia, near the start of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers. They rose to the power when the Akkadian Empire fell.
The main reason for the rise of the power of Assyrians were economic. Assyrians needed less artificial irrigation than their rivals ( Hittites and Babylonians ). Horse-breeding was extensive. Trade was carried out in all directions. Long wars helped build Assyria into a warrior society. All male citizens were obliged to serve in the army. And also, during the period of the Middle Assyrian kingdom ( 1360 - 1074 BC ) their rivals were weakened.
Assyria conquered all of Mesopotamia and expanded their kingdom to the east.
Answer:
- The rise of Assyrian economy.
- Assyria was a warrior society.
- Hittites and Babylonians both were weakened.
The correct answer is A.
Scarcity is an ongoing condition in the world that affects every single country and person, independently of the level of income. It is referred to the existence of limited resources to satisfy unlimited needs. Therefore it requires decission making processes to rank needs and to direct those scarce resources to cover the ones considered more important. Time is a resource, therefore it does not matter how much money you have, it is impossible to do two activities simultaneously, hence, you have to decide and you are affected by scarcity.
On the other hand, a shortage is caused due to a temporary unbalance in a market, specifically when the quantity demanded by consumers exceeds the quantity supplied by the companies operating on it. The result is that some customers will not be able to buy the product they wanted and that the firms could have made higher profits in they had organized better. Due to this temporary misadjustment, prices of the product will go up and less people would demand the product once it has become more expensive. In the end, market forces will reestablish the equilibrium, where the amounts supplied and demanded are equal.
