A free market economy has two key advantages. First, it allows for individuals to innovate. Individuals have the freedom to create new ideas, new products, and new services to sell for profit. They are not required to only produce what the government tells them to produce. Due to this freedom, competition is created, forcing companies to create new products and features. A clear example of this is the cell phone market. New phones come out each year, as individuals create new ideas and new features for their consumers.

The second major advantage is that customers drive decisions. If a customers wants a certain product or feature, the producer must meet their needs in order to survive. This ultimately drives the price, as customers determine the price of products.

However, disadvantages are created from some of the advantages. Profit motive drives businesses, but can create dangers. Poor working conditions and unethical decisions can be made as entrepreneurs seek higher profits. Secondly, free markets can lead to market crashes as we saw in the great depression and the economic downturn in the early 2000's. Unemployment can lead to devastation of families.

These advantages lead to economic growth and expansion during the business cycle. However, during times of crashes and downturns, government regulation usually occurs to spur expansion again.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

Craig complained to his friend jess that a class was too hard and he believed that the teacher was not being fair with his grading standards. jess replied, "craig, you really have an attitude problem." what is the relationship between the manner that the term attitude is used in common conversation and the how it is defined in consumer behavior? there is no relationship. common usage is not the same as attitudes as seen by the researchers who study consumer behavior. the term attitude is widely used in popular culture in much the same way it is used in studying consumer behavior. they are different in that popular culture does not recognize that attitudes are temporary. otherwise the usage is the same. they are similar except that popular culture assumes that attitudes are related to beliefs, and research scientists have shown that there is no such relationship.
