Opportunity cost refers to a lost opportunity when an individual picks an alternate option. In this example, Harry gives up the chance to go fishing in order to see his parents. When dealing with opportunity costs, you must remember that a person's decision to do something (like going to see their parents) results in them missing out on something else (like going fishing).

Explain Gies’ motivation for helping Jewish families during the war.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

According to Gies, the motivation was simply the fact that she wanted to help and she would have felt regret, if she let innocent people die.

Explanation:

Till the end of her life, Gies, never considered herself a hero. She explained that it was human nature to help someone and clearly stated, that by calling her actions 'brave' or 'heroic' would put on her on a pedestal, and demotivate other people to act out kindly when needed.

Gies was Dutch and had worked with Jewish people before. She felt empathy and always thought her actions were natural, human and not at all special.
