The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options or statements attached to this question, we can say the following.
The statement about individualism that best exemplifies the relationship between norms and values is the following. The citizens of the United States firmly believe in individualism as a cay of life and this can be observed in their conduct when -for instance- to leave the parents home when you graduate from high school and go life by your own or go to college to other states, and start to live in your own terms.
This is part of the American idiosyncrasy that has characterized this society for many years. The idea that through hard work, commitment, and perseverance, Americans built their own path to a successful career and life. This cannot be found in other countries or cultures, where sons and daughters continue to live in the family home even after they graduate from college.
A production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a function that shows the different combinations of two goods that can be produced by a country, firm, or any other economic agent, given a fixed initial endownment of factors of production that is totally consumed. Therefore, the points in the function take the following form: (x ,y)= (quantity produced of good x, quantity produced of good y).
The PPF function also represents two crucial economic concepts: efficiency and opportunity cost. The opportunity cost is defined as the value of the best alternative rejected when making a decision. When moving along the PPF line, if a combination is chosen so that a extra unit of good x is produced, some units of good y need to be given up (due to the fixed amount of inputs available). Those given up units would constitute the opportunity cost.
<u>Combinations of x and y located along the curve are efficient because they represent output quantities obtained by using the whole factor endowment available.</u> Points located below the curve are considered inefficient because they represent inferior levels of production than the ones that could be generated given the amount of resources available. On the other hand, points located above the PPF curve are impossible, because they represent bundles of x and y that cannot be manufactured given the initial endowment of resources.
Boat operators in coastal waters should be watchful, mindful and careful of the effects of tides when boating, because the rise and fall of tides in the water can cause water levels to fluctuate and change by several feet and can possibly create strong currents in which tidal currents are strong enough that makes the boats cannot make successfully heading against the current.
The answers to this are: Subtropical (first line), atolls (second line), tectonic (third line) and pumice (fourth line).
