We studied the definition of economics and the related words to the key
terms used in its definition. We defined economics as a social science that deals
with the efficient allocation of scarce resources to satisfy mans unlimited wants
and needs.
It is claimed that the world is getting smaller, bringing about the so called
global village. Places which used to be remote and very inaccessible have
become like our own neighbourhood due to dynamic and interactive
communications and transactions unrestricted by distance, brought about by
better communication technologies (e.g. fax,24-hour deliveries, mobile and
cellular phones, internet, intranet, satellite-aided communication, etc.).

- supposed that this square represents all resources that planet Earth can
offer.
This diagram may not be realistic, but it points out fact that resources are
scarce, and that needs and wants continues to grow (even if population should
stop growing, as in some countries). There is only a limited amount of resources
that could be offered at this time, while human wants and needs continue to
grow.
Scarcity as an issue does not only pertain to resources that are used to
produce goods and services. It also pertains to other various resources, such as
financial resources (capital) in a business enterprise, the aim of which is to
maximize its resources to make profit. It may also pertain to the daily; weekly or
monthly limited allowances and budgets of students.
