Question

Which scenario is the best example of the "tragedy of the commons?" A country experiences widening income inequality. Two countries engaged in international trade of a good reach the same equilibrium price, which is higher than it would have been in the absence of trade. Users of a shared shower in a dorm allow the shower to get nasty by failing to clean it often enough. A group of farmers forms a collective to coordinate a common pricing strategy. All artists in a mass-media environment face an incentive to create works that are lower quality in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Answer 1

Answer: Users of a shared shower in a dorm allow the shower to get nasty by failing to clean it often enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common good is items, things, or places shared by several people, for example, a public square or, in this case, a shared shower.

It is known as "The tragedy of the Commons" when people acting for their interests deplete, ruin or degrade goods that were for community use. It is a selfish attitude that is performed collectively.

The concept was introduced by William Forster Lloyd in 1833 and is very current today when we see that many people act selfishly destroying the natural resources of the planet. For example, by contaminating rivers and oceans.
