ANSWER: Opportunity Cost is the cost of losing the next best alternative compared to the option that has been chosen. There can be numerous situations of opportunity cost. A situation which is simple yet best is as follows:

David is a doctor who charges $20 from his patients for regular checkup. He knows that weekend evening will be full of patients and he won't have time to rest. There are an average of 15 patients every weekends. So by the simple calculation, David will be earning $300 on a single weekend evening. But due to popular rock concert being organized in the city on a weekend evening, David decides to skip the day and visit the rock concert. The ticket price for the rock concert was $50. So,the opportunity cost for David was $350 because not only David lost the chances of his earning that evening but he also spent $50 on the tickets of the rock concert.

a) Briefly describe ONE specific historical difference in North America between the First Great Awakening and the Enlightenment.

Sophie [7]

a) One of the differences between the First Great Awakening and the Enlightenment was the fact that, while the First Great Awakening emphasized personal feelings and subjective experience, the Enlightenment focused much more on cold, hard facts. The First Great Awakening encouraged the idea that each person could have a different experience with religion, and that only they could decide how best to practice it. On the other hand, the Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that attempted to get rid of subjectivity in favor of uniformity driven by science.

b) One similarity between these two movements was the fact that they both questioned traditional authorities. In the case of the First Great Awakening, people began to question priests and their sterile speeches, and instead began to follow their own feelings. In the case of the Enlightenment, people questioned traditional authorities, such as priests and kings and instead tried to exercise their own reason.

c) One historical effect of the Enlightenment in North America was th Revolutionary War. To a very large extent, the Revolutionary War was motivated by the ideas of the Enlightenment that originated with philosophers such as Rousseau, Locke and Montesquieu.
