Opportunity Cost

There have been many decisions I have had to make in my life that have had a opportunity cost. One of those big decisions was whether or not to take math this year. With college coming next year I was worried that if I did not take it I would not be prepared. If I ended up taking math it could possibly drop my GPA if i got a bad grade and it would not allow to have a release. I decided not to take math because I forget everything I learn during the summer anyways and I wanted to have a easy school year so that it would be like a gap year before college. A decision I am going to have to make with a opportunity cost is whether or not to go to Cambodia this summer. If  I go it will be a amazing experience that could change my life. The problem with going is it is very expensive and I will not have that $3000 to use for college.

Ideal Form Of Government

I think the ideal form of government is direct democracy because it is the only way the people truly get a say. "A democracy in which the power to govern lies directly in the hands of the people rather than being exercised through their representatives." This form of government is good because instead of having to go through a bunch of people to get things done the majority wins. When the majority wins there is less conflict because the most amount of people.
