Topic 1: The Big Questions

 If we consider PAS economically, and everyone at PAS as a producer and consumer; what goods and services are produced? Who produces and how are those goods and services? For whom exactly are those goods and services produced? Who is the one that determines the what, how and for whom question? I think if everyone at PAS is consider as both a producer and consumer then I will say the goods and services are education that teachers provide and the tuition fee we pay in return. Since both teachers and students give up something in order to exchange something more important, I will say the goods and services are produce for both. Teachers sacrifice time and educate us and get paid, we sacrifice our money in order to pay for our education and hope to be intelligent somehow. I think the one that determines those questions are basically everyone who chose to be involve in PAS. Both teachers and students basically have the choices of either coming or not coming to PAS, so I will say everyone chooses to be in PAS and determines what they think are more important then they do tradeoffs with other people.

 Students come to PAS basically hoping for a better future and somehow become intelligent upon the education PAS provides. Teachers come to PAS to educate people and to gain money out of it. These two self-interest examples and combine together and form a social interest and benefit the world as a whole by educating students and provide job opportunities for teachers; these decreases the rate of unemployment and increases the intellectual level of the entire world and also better the world as a whole.
