E6


1)
  • Collective good = something of value that can't be withheld from a member of a group.
  • Free-rider program = problem faced by unions and groups when people don't join because they can benefit from the group's activities without officially joining -- why should potential members work for something if they could get it for free?
  • Selective benefits = goods (information publications, travel discounts, group insurance rates) that a group can restrict to those who pay their annual dues
2)
  • a) Got 2 Live 
  • b) The goal will be to inform teenagers, and everyone, about the intense dangers of texting and driving. 
  • c) The potential group will be mostly youth: teenagers who have experienced the dangers of texting and driving firsthand and those who know and care about it all. The potential group can also include other people who want to inform everyone of the perils of texting and driving.
  • d) The collective good will be that less people will be injured and less deaths will occur due to people texting while driving.
  • e) Some selective benefits will be travel discounts, gas cards, t-shirts/merchandise.
  • f) The group will hold assemblies and rallies in which they talk about the dangers of texting and driving, as well as create days of awareness in which people persuade (as well as inform) others to stay away from their phones while operating a vehicle.
