Topic 2: Scarcity at School


In PAS scarcity occurs extremely often and nearly everyday. Students, teachers, office staffs, and even the janitors at our school has to make a trade-off for something they desire. Students trade their time and freedom to come to school for their education. Teachers and office staffs also trade their time and freedom in order to maintain their wages given by PAS. As well as the janitors who spend their time to earn their wages.

I as well spend 7 hours of my time at school to get the education I need, and then another 6 ~ 8 hours finishing the given work and studying for future tests after school. The scarcity here is education, and in order to make this trade-off; I spend lots and lots of time as well as money to secure it.

The resources that I want more of are the lunches provided by the school, and what keeps me from getting a better quality of food is the office staff. They make the overall decisions for the school environment and needs to improve on their food. In order to get the higher quality lunches I enjoy; I took the extra time to order from outside restaurants instead of purchasing school lunches.
