Economy And Me
As we all know, economy is the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Economy is present in my life in many different ways.
For example, my family purchases a copious amount of goods that are produced such as our cars, clothes, TV and food.
In addition, distribution plays an immense role in my life as well, such as the post office, me purchasing things from the store, and banks. The stores and banks distribute their goods to me.

Consumption also takes place in my life. We consume many items such as food, household items, clocks, computers, etc - all by buying them.
There are many goods in my life such as water, toys, food, and metal. From an economic context, all the items we consume in our livelihood are goods. Honestly, I think goods would be the part of the economy that affects my life the most as compared to services.
Service jobs are in which someone performs a task for a person or a business. They include: police officers, firefighters, doctors, veterinarians, teachers, janitors, garbage disposal staff, plumbers, electricians, etc. Service jobs are also a factor of my life since everything I do is either kept safe, or kept clean, by someone with that job.
Life, is a challenge, but without a good, vibrant and successful economy, I think it would be a struggle and meaningless.

Why We Should Choose To Be Bothered
It is important to be bothered by unfortunate events because when we get bothered by them, that’s when we put in our 100% effort to make these things right. For example if other people are bothered by something, but you are not, it’s a lot harder for you to "understand" the pain the others are going through. However, if you yourself are "bothered, uncomfortable, and uneasy", this is when you choose to help solve this situation. When these events get under OUR skin that’s really, truly, when we do everything we can do to make a difference.
