The tragedy of the high seas - 5 views

  •  
    The article talks about one of the world's most tragic tragedy, which is "tragedy of the commons". This theory explores when a resource is available jointly, people often deplete these resources, rather than save them. To further support the theory, the article focuses mainly on "over-fishing" and how the ocean is a "common area", therefore anybody can choose to fish out there, and this leads to the problem of over-fishing and destroying the habitats of the high seas.

  •  
    The iPhone 6's demand continues to increase everyday, outstripping the supply it can provide to the people. This is a great example on how price mechanism works in our real world, where people are more attracted towards luxury products and would do anything to get it.

The End Of Elastic Oil - 2 views

  •  
    Nowadays people are thinking that there is nothing to worry about in the oil industry of the world, but in economic terms, researchers are stating that the oil supply is becoming less elastic because new oil supplies come increasingly from unconventional oil. This is due to the fact that the new oil reserves that people are now exploiting are more expensive and they take much longer between the time the first well is drilled and when the first oil is produced

Liberia in 'trees for cash' deal - 2 views

  •  
    Liberia was going through a lot of deforestation, and was going to become the number one deforested country. Therefore Norway has jumped in to help with this crisis, by saying they will help pay for development aid, because there have been fears that the Ebola crisis would increase the logging in Liberia, who are really desperate for cash. This part of the news shows how Liberia would cut all their trees and take away all of their valuable resources for the money to help cure it's people. As of now Norway will pay the impoverished West African country $150m (£91.4m) to stop deforestation by 2020.
