To realize added value, production activities must occur. In other words, added value arises from production activities. Production involves bringing into existence things that did not previously exist in the world. This can be accomplished by combining existing items to create new ones or by processing raw materials into new products. Production includes physical manufacturing, knowledge generation, and service creation. Wealth represents the accumulation of added value. Consequently, to become wealthy, one must be productive. However, value is determined through relative comparison. A product can only be exchanged if it can be priced, and added value can only be actualized by exchanging this product. This process is referred to as commerce. In other words, it is known as a transaction. Through trade, humanity distributes this added value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Citizens from countries with different road systems are more likely to encounter traffic accidents at crosswalks when visiting other nations. This occurs because their instinctive caution is directed in the wrong way. The complexities of road traffic direction are surprisingly intricate. Traffic patterns are shaped by a blend of historical factors, governing behaviors, technology, and cultural practices. The safety and intricacy of older roads, once shared by horses, carriages, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians, differ completely from today’s well-defined driveways and sidewalks. Consequently, laws establish the directions for crossing streets. When examining the reasons and history behind any rule, it becomes apparent that achieving these conventions is rarely straightforward. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
