Answer:

Scarcity is used to refer to the idea that, overall in the world, there are not enough resources to meet humans’ unlimited needs and wants.  Scarcity is an on-going condition.  Shortage, on the other hand, refers to a situation caused by an imbalance in supply and demand.  A shortage occurs when producers are not willing or able to supply as much as consumers demand.  A shortage can last a long time or a short time, depending on how long it takes for supply and demand to come into balance.

What are some reasons why governments might encourage citizens to be patriotic?
wolverine [178]
Patriotism means to love one's country. The government works for the country, encourages the fellow countrymen to patronize one's own. Together, as one nation, it would help the motherland to increase the economy for the people to have a better living.
