Answer: In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.

Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.

The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

Anya got $12 for her birthday. She considers buying a DVD of her favorite movie for $11. She also thinks about buying a new T-sh

mafiozo [28]

Here we have two different decisions. Opportunity cost of buying the CD and not buying the DVD is 1: ($11-$10). And opportunity cost of buying the CD and not buying the new T-shirt is 4: ($14-10). Opportunity cost is the difference between the value of the option chosen and the value of the best option not made. If the option I choose gives me a benefit of 10 but there is an alternative option offered by 12, the opportunity cost is 2.
