Answer:
People around the world have different perspectives on South Africa. South Africa is one of the wealthier countries in Africa, and it thrives on its tourism industry. This means other African countries may be envious of their wealth. In North America, and other parts of the world people may have a limited knowledge of South Africa, except for sensationalism in the news, so they may feel South Africa is a dangerous country. There is a decent Muslim population in South Africa, so other Muslim countries may think about South Africa positively. There are so many factors than can influence people's perception of places and things, from the media, to what they hear from others, that it is difficult to say what the world thinks about a place, since it differs so widely.
A price ceiling is a government- or group-imposed price control, or limit, on how high a price is charged for a product, commodity, or service. Governments use price ceilings to protect consumers from conditions that could make commodities prohibitively expensive. Such conditions can occur during periods of high inflation, in the event of an investment bubble, or in the event of monopoly ownership of a product, all of which can cause problems if imposed for a long period without controlled rationing, leading to shortages.[1] Further problems can occur if a government sets unrealistic price ceilings, causing business failures, stock crashes, or even economic crises. In unregulated market economies, price ceilings do not exist.
While price ceilings are often imposed by governments, there are also price ceilings which are implemented by non-governmental organizations such as companies, such as the practice of resale price maintenance. With resale price maintenance, a manufacturer and its distributors agree that the distributors will sell the manufacturer's product at certain prices (resale price maintenance), at or below a price ceiling (maximum resale price maintenance) or at or above a price floor.
