Define and describe scarcity.​

Social Studies
1 answer:
vekshin13 years ago
7 0

Scarcity refers to the basic economic problem, the gap between limited – that is, scarce – resources and theoretically limitless wants. This situation requires people to make decisions about how to allocate resources efficiently, in order to satisfy basic needs and as many additional wants as possible.

Scarcity dictates that economic decisions must be made regularly in order to manage the availability of resources to meet human needs. Some examples of scarcity include: The gasoline shortage in the 1970's. Coal is used to create energy; the limited amount of this resource that can be mined is an example of scarcity.

Scarcity is simply the concept that human wants (not human needs) exceed the resources available that are necessary to produce the goods used to satisfy those wants. Since economics is the study of how people make choices, without scarcity there would exist no choice and, hence, no economics.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:    Homeostasis

Explanation:  Homeostasis is first and foremost a tendency to strike a balance between the constituent elements / parts that are interdependent, and above all it relates to physiological processes. Logically, homeostasis therefore resists change or seeks to compensate for change through certain mechanisms (sweating, shivering, etc), exerted by an external factor (heat, coldness), in order to maintain a relatively stable equilibrium. This refers to the internal balance of the organism when there are external factors that cause that balance to be disturbed. Homeostasis is therefore the ability, in this case, of the organism, although it may also relate to the environment, to maintain approximately stability, internal balance despite changes caused by external factors.

Did the Crusades cause civilizations in Europe to regress or renew themselves?
pochemuha

Answer:

The European renewed their civilization after the crusade.

Explanation:

While the Crusades ultimately resulted in defeat for Europeans and a Muslim victory, many argue that they successfully extended the reach of Christianity and Western civilization. The Roman Catholic Church experienced an increase in wealth, and the power of the Pope was elevated after the Crusades ended.

The Crusades were organized by western European Christians after centuries of Muslim wars of expansion. Their primary objectives were to stop the expansion of Muslim states, to reclaim for Christianity the Holy Land in the Middle East, and to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian.

The crusades affected western Europe a lot. They helped undermine feudalism. Thousands of lords and knights mortgaged or sold their land to financiate crusading expiditions.
