Grantham University Scarcity and Choice Discussion

Economics question. All explanations and answers will be used . Scarcity and choice are the two essential ingredients of economic analysis.  A good is scarce when the human desire or need for it exceeds the amount freely available.  As a result, society must choose the most efficient manner of allocation of those scarce resources.Based upon scarcity and choice, why is it not possible for governments to efficiently provide everyone with free healthcare and free higher education without there being negative effects to the aggregate economy?Think about society’s need to choose amongst competing resources and goals.  How does personal gain affect choices by individuals and government?  Opportunity costs.  While we want to do one thing, we can’t do others based upon scarcity and opportunity costs.  Resources are finite.  What about incentives as opposed to free offerings?

HTTPS Encryption Google Chrome Discussion

reply to discussionCurrently, I use Google Chrome on my personal computer but at work my company (AstraZeneca) allows to use either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as well. I prefer Google Chrome as I feel it is faster to browse but it also notifies you if a website you want to navigate is secure or not. Also, at work, we are required to do certain training on a monthly basis and Internet Explorer doesn’t find the links you are trying to get on. I wouldn’t change anything on my security browser settings for Google Chrome as it has stability, and because of it’s cross-platform ( Future versions of Google Chrome will allow the user to see if HTTPS encryption is or isn’t being used on the site they are trying to navigate through. Google Chrome aims to make this their standard in the near future which I believe will only help their already strong security and privacy settings even more. I plan to stick to Google Chrome both on my personal laptop, as well as my work computer, although Mozilla Firefox is another web browser I have considered in the past, but I just trust and have also gotten so used to Google Chrome, I wouldn’t replace it at this time.

GB 540 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Utility Maximization Discussion

a Business question . Utility MaximizationOne of the main principles behind mainstream, neoclassical economic theory, is that individuals act to maximize their utility. Utility is generally defined as a satisfaction (pleasure) that an individual derives from consuming or using a specific good or service. Total utility indicates the total amount of satisfaction or pleasure an individual derives from consuming some specific quantity of a good or service. Marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction a consumer gets from an additional unit of a good or service she/he consumes during a given period of time.The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as an individual consumes more and more units of a specific good or service, the additional utility the consumer derives from the successive units keep on diminishing (declining) over time. Thus diminishing marginal utility explains a lot about consumer behavior in the market economy.
