<span>Products that customers consider essentials or necessities tend to have less elasticity than products viewed as luxury or discretionary. If a customer believes he needs a certain product for survival, quality of life, or pleasure, he is more likely to stretch a bit to purchase the item if the price goes up. On the contrary, a product viewed as optional is a less likely purchase as the price increases because the customer believes he can live without it.Customer OptionsThe more options a customer has to meet a particular functional or emotional need, the more elastic a product's demand. This is why a company with a monopoly has a huge advantage. Customers don't have options and feel compelled to buy from the given provider. In highly competitive industries, price differentials are usually less among competing brands because of the ability customers have to select lower-priced alternatives. A closely related factor is the cost of switching brands. Cell phone customers often wait to change providers to avoid penalties if they are obligated to service contracts.

Critically examine the assertion that patriarchy should be blamed for gender inequality in ghana
dlinn [17]

Patriarchy is a social system that places men as beings who hold all authority and power within a society, leaving women submissive and devalued in the face of any social situation.

Patriarchy is largely responsible for spreading concepts that claim that women are weak, submissive and should not receive the same civic and social privileges as men. All over the world, women receive few opportunities for education, employment, security and fair wages, which causes strong social and economic inequality between men and women.

Although this is a behavior that is present throughout the world, in Ghana patriarchy not only place women in lower positions within their families and within society, these social inequalities allow a series of violence to be done against women and that there are few ways to defend themselves both physically and judicially. In addition, patriarchy in Ghana influences the concept that women should marry and be mothers early, which means that girls get married as teenagers and are deprived of studying, working and following their dreams, being totally dependent on family men.
