Question

in american society, which of these is an example of a want?
○ food
○ shoes
○ video games
○ utility bills

Explanation:

To determine a want, we distinguish between needs (essential for survival/well - being) and wants (non - essential, for desire/pleasure). Food is a basic need for survival. Shoes, in a general sense, can be a need (for protection, etc.). Utility bills are for essential services (a need - related expense). Video games are for entertainment, a non - essential desire, so it's a want.

Answer:

C. video games
