1. QUESTION
Everyone has needs and wants. A need is something
people must have to live. A want is something
people would like to have. Would a teddy bear
be a need or want? Would safety be a need or
want?
Goods are things that people buy or sell. A service
is work that someone does for someone else.
Would a mechanic be a goods or service provider?
Would a farmer be a goods or service provider?
What do you want to be when you grow up? Will
you provide goods or services and would you meet
people’s needs or wants?
