Think about the activity we did in class today. What were some of the problems you and your group encountered? Take time to ponder......................Then respond to this question!
Do you think only people with enough money should get the goods produced in an economic system? Or should a government decide who receives the goods? Explain.
Our group encountered a couple of problems. They were having scissors malfunctions, we were also were unable to meet the quota that was given. I think that the government should decide who receives the good; because if they didnt the poor would go hungry.
ReplyDeleteI agree but the quarters were unreachable with the amount of time in supplies that we had also I agree that it the government shouldmonitor who gets goods and who doesn't so that the poor would not go hungry
DeleteYes the poor cannot go hungry, and the time frame was to short
DeleteI also agree due to the fact its was impossiable for us to meet our quota even when we were all wotking as a team. towards the end I seen our group not trying as hard because the payoff was not a insentive.
DeleteFirst, despite car's quatily , everyone in class earn same range of money, 200 rup for each round.
ReplyDeleteSecond, we never reach the target, not even close. The target is landed on far far away.
Third, we don't have enough food no buy and cannot choose what to buy.
Fourth, the supply is poor. I must use a kid size scissors and its hurt my hand.
I think people has right to buy what they want (not illegal things) if they have enough money. I dont have any patient for standing in the queue and don't know there are something to buy or not even you will to pay.
The governmet also should take part in the economic system. Passing law, control the quality of goods for instance. However, being exclusive is another issue, they take all the control, all companies or factories in the country are belonged to the government which result in there is no competition among the different companies and produced low quality goods.
I agree with you that people have a right to buy what they want to. I agree that it's important that the government helps to regulate what people buy and the quality of the things that are being produced
Deleteour group was having trouble keeping up with the quota it was virtually impossible to reach the quotas because of lack of Time end supplies yeah everyone got paid the same amount and even some group got a bonus.
ReplyDeleteOur group ran into quite a few problems. There wasn't enough time for us to meet our quota, we only had three people in our group, we were the last group to get our supplies, and towards the end there was a scarcity of supplies and there werent enough for us to meet our quota. I think it's tough to decide whether the government should choose who receives goods or not. I think ultimately the goods should be given to the hardworking people who deserve it. Yes, that will leave the poor without goods, but even if the government chose who the goods go to, I'm sure there still wouldn't be enough for everyone so why not make sure the people who work for it can get it instead of the government choosing who should and shouldn't get goods and leaving hardworking people without necessities
ReplyDeleteI agree, it would be unfair to not give hardowrking people the choice of what goods they want.
DeleteWe received a bonus money but there were no food left to buy. We trapped in the issue that being hungry even you were rich.
DeleteIn my group we had terrible scissprs and not enough supplies to reach the quota. Thats a hard question because if the government decides who gets what it would be unfair to the people who make a decent amount of money and are able to get what they need and then some. You also have to take in consideration the people that arent able to make a living due to health issues and so on. I would say let people choose, because I people had the government controlling their good tuere would bbe no initiative to work and make a living.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to answer that because you have to put everyone's needs in consideration.but i agree it would be unfair to just give people who are not making anything goods and then people who actually work for their money have no choice in what they want.
DeleteI agree that you need initiative. After all, that's a determining factor of wealth anyway.
DeleteOur group had some problems with supplies and our method to making the "cars" and we didn't have nearly enough time.I think the government should decide, they are in charge of pretty much everything already, and know how to equal things out between people that are wealthy and people that are not. I feel like if the people that make enough money were in charge of who gets what they would only be looking out for themselves where as the government is looking out for everyone's best interests... sometimes
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that you said the government is in charge of everything already. And that you added sometimes after saying that they look out for peoples best interest.
DeleteOur group had quite a few problems that we couldn't get around. Our scissors were horrible and wouldn't open properly. We didn't get our supplies until the time had already started. The quota was not achievable. It got easier once we knew what we were doing until we got to the last round when the supplies were very scarce and we didn't have nearly as much time. I believe that the hard working, with money, should receive the food they want. But that doesn't mean that I approve that the poor aren't being fed. The government should pick who gets the goods as long as they include anyone who needs it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the hard working with money should get what they want because they are doing the most work.
DeleteI think that people who can afford to buy the goods should get them. The thing with the government deciding, that's great to have people equal. But you're country won't be productive if everyone gets the same because you can do a crappy job and still get paid. People will get an incentive for working hard if they know they get paid for doing a good job so your countries production will be more accurate and more productive if people have to earn what they have.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The government should work towards creating equality.... by giving people equal rights, not equal paychecks. That would be morally wrong on so many levels.
DeleteWith only having four people in our group we encountered many problems, Due to fact our suppleis were not working it made some of us not want to try at all because they knew it was a unreasonabile qutoa to meet in such a short time. And that led to a hungry poepe who had worked so hard for little of nothing.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the people with enough money to buy more resources should be able to do that. They should have the freedom to amass their own wealth. When people have the freedom to buy what they want from who they want, it creates a better economy in my eyes, because it promotes more trading opportunities which stimulates the economy. I believe that the government should regulate to a point what goes on the market, but shouldn't monopolize the market and allow companies to sell their own goods.
ReplyDeleteI agree that government should have a hand in government, but shouldn't distribute resources equally as that would leave people without incentive. When people are able to buy the goods they desire it creates incentive to create desirable products and do the work necessary to have a desirable economy.
DeleteOur group had a problem with supplies and at the end we didn't have as much as the first group. I think that the government should not decide who gets what because in the group activity everyone got money no matter what amount of cars The group made. People who have the money should buy their goods and materials that they need.
ReplyDeleteOur group ran into trouble with the different supplies given, such as sub-par scissors and the inability to trace through the paper easily. I believe people with enough money should be the ones who receive the goods. I believe this due to there being a need for incentive. Without incentive people would be without the will to work as they wouldn't have any reason to do the work, or at least to do it well.
