• The first car in the world was built in 1885 by Benz,
and it was only 35 horse power. Nowadays, the
average is 250 horsepower.The Benz car was very
ugly because they didn’t concentrate on making it
visually appealing. However, today, people usually
will not buy an ugly car. If you buy a car, what are
your standards? If the car was not visually
appealing, but it was powerful and reliable, would
you buy it ?

• In Islamic law you can not adopt a child as your child
and put his/her name under your name, but you can
take care and allocate money each month to cover
his/ her living expenses, treatment, and study. Also,
we have in Saudi Arabia institutions dealing with this
subject. Do you think adopting a child and changing
his/her name and life is an act of benevolence or
injustice?

• If a country adopts laws that allow foreign product
to be sold in its country, they can earn the tax;
however, it can also influence their native product

Why or why not? (Economics, Ai-Hsing,Huang, 130B)
