Juanita is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence:

Because her pool sessions are helping her swim more quickly, Juanita plans to reduce by 1 hour per week the time she spends training on the bike and increase by 1 hour the time she spends in the swimming pool; however, her husband says that she should stop doing any biking and running and spend all 20 hours per week in the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice does Juanita's plan illustrate that her husband's advice does not?

Answer: Many decisions are made on the margin.

Explanation:

The options include:

A. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.

B. Resources are scarce.

C. Many decisions are made on the margin.

D. All costs are opportunity costs.

The basic principle of individual choice that Juanita's plan illustrate that her husband's advice does not is that many decisions are made on the margin.

From the question, we are informed that Juanita plans to reduce by 1 hour per week the time she spends training on the bike and increase by 1 hour the time she spends in the swimming pool. This shows the effect of margin. Margin simply means something extra.

While Juanita wante to spend extra time swimming, while her husband wants her to spend the whole 20 hours in the pool. Their decisions are both based on margin.

ratelena [41]

I believe the correct answer is: a token economy.

 

A token economy represents a form of behavior modification which is designed to increase desirable behavior and decrease undesirable behavior with the use of tokens. When individuals display desirable behavior, they receive tokens. The collected tokens may later be exchanged for a meaningful object or privilege.

Since Tim suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd), his teachers and parents apply a token economy to reward him with stars for desirable behaviors.

In what ways can more efficient transportation systems help bring about cultural change in rural societies?
WINSTONCH [101]

Explanation:

Cultural changes are the changes in the culture of a society by introducing new norms, traits, values, etc. Cultural changes occur when new people meet with the people of the existing society. New people bring about change in the society. Also cultural changes occur when people from societies meet with the people of other cultures and bring their norms, traits, values, etc, in their own culture.

So if the transportation systems are efficient enough between the rural and the urban areas of the country, people are more likely to move around different areas and see different new cultures. Due to efficient transport systems for people within the country, like railways system, bus system, coach facilities, etc, people from urban areas may visit the rural areas and can affect the culture of rural areas. Similarly, people from rural areas can visit people from urban areas and can see enormous cultural norms and traits in other cities and can bring back those values to their societies, which will bring about cultural change in rural societies as well. So efficient transport systems has a great impact in bring about cultural change.
