18. Which group of words best describes wants?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

B. unlimited, changing, and competing

Explanation:

Wants are the desire to have or own goods and services that give satisfaction. A want is a wish to possess something. The wish or desire may be fulfilled or not.

Because human needs have unlimited wants, it is almost impossible to satisfy all wants with limited resources. Due to the scarcity of resources, competition arises to satisfy the many wants with the available resources.

Serhud [2]

Sherif’s (1966) classic Robbers Cave study of boys at summer camp finds the relationship between the two groups of boys immediately deteriorated when the event began.

In the 1940s and 1950s, social psychologist Muzafer Sherif and his associates conducted a number of investigations, including the Robbers Cave experiment. Sherif investigated the interactions between male groups at summer camps and a competitor group with the hypothesis that "when two groups have competing purposes... their members would become antagonistic to one other even when the groups are constituted of normal well-adjusted individuals at a summer camp " The Robbers Cave study found the incident swiftly escalated once the parties started throwing jabs. The Sherif discovered that the summer camps' surveys, in which they were asked to score their own team and the opposing team on good and bad attributes, contained questions about group animosity.
