How did you go about learning it? Like what did you find to be difficult about the language? What helped you learn it? And what do you suggest to those who are trying to learn it? A friend of mine wants me to tutor them in English but I don't exactly know how to go about doing it because I learned English like any other native English speaker. Trying to explain some concepts to non-native speakers is pretty difficult for me when there aren't equivalent concepts in their native tongue that I can draw parallels between and also because English is so natural to me that I don't even think about why things are spoken the way they are. They've always just been that way for me.
Know what that means? I finally get to be somebody's senpai! yesssssssss
If she even looks at my direction, I think my life shall be complete.

I don't think this has ever been discussed or debated on the forums yet and this section really needs some life to be honest. I want more conflict on the forums! *shot* An economic system is an organized approach to producing and distributing goods and services. It is an organized way to answer the three economic questions of what, how and to whom to produce. Although every country must have an economic system to answer these three economic questions, their method of producing and distributing largely depends on the country's historical experience, form of government, objectives and ideologies. To some people, government intervention in the economy is considered necessary to protect against the worst elements of capitalism while others think that such regulations are an unnecessary invasions of their freedoms. To what extend do you believe the government should get involved in the economy? I'm personally of the school that the government should be involved with the market because history has shown us that the market mechanism doesn't always produce the most optimal and efficient outcome and history has also shown us that leaving it alone to resolve itself hasn't worked out to our advantage as well. If I remember correctly, the US suffered about 5 depressions/recessions during its economic growth in the 19th century and early 20th century and the government almost did nothing. It was believed back then that it shouldn't be involved for the invisible hand would guide the market. Then the Great Depression happened and the government started to get much more invovled in the market and the US has experienced relatively fewer market failures and hasn't had anything similar to past depressions/recessions until quite recently. There are also many market failures that I feel the market won't resolve such as the problem of asymmetric knowledge. Asymmetric knowledge is when either the supplier or buyer has more knowledge than the other and they exploit this superior knowledge. For example, a doctor or dentist could tell you that you need more treatment than you actually need just to create business and most people would trust them because they know the field better than them but unfortunately we'd be wasting money that could be put into other things. Usually this problem is more common with the buyer but it could happen with a supplier as well. Another problem that arises when the market is left alone is that certain products would never be made because there is no profit to be made off of them so supplying them would be a waste of money. Think of street lights for example. They're non-excludable and the product by nature can't have any competition. But who in their right mind would make a business out of it? Yet the product obviously benefits us by helping us from crashing into each other and keeping roads organized. So this is where the government steps in and supplies this good, using taxation to pay for it. There are other market failures but I want to keep this post relatively short. I might bring those up later. So what do you guys think? Do you believe the government shouldn't interact with the market at all and leave it be? Should it have a light hand? Should it be heavily involved with the market? And for what reasons(ethical, practical, etc.)?
