  1. I think that economic growth is best shown in America's economy. Economic growth is expansion of the economy to produce more goods, jobs, and wealth. I think that this one is shown because even though we are in a recession, there are still new jobs being created and some companies are very successful. It is definately not stability because our economy has been very unstable the last few years.

  2. I think that individual freedom is best shown in America's economy. People are free to choose what they want to do. They can choose their economic activities. The government doesn't decide what job your going to do, you do. In many other countries people don't have that opportunity. In America we do have a lot of individual freedom.

  4. I think security and equity would be seen the most. Our country obviously isn't very efficient, growing, or stable as you can tell by how bad our national debt is. These days we aren't even free anymore because all of this security. The police and military force are two extremely large examples. Many people lost freedom too with the smoking ban at bars and other public places.

  5. I think that the goal that is best shown is individual freedom. People choose everyday what job they want to pursue. They can pick what they think they will be the best at or the most interesting job. If they find out that the job isn't the best fit for them, then they can change and switch jobs to find something that they will be able to excel at better. Our government isn't choosing our jobs for us or making us go into a certain profession. People are also able to make choices that they want. We are able to buy and sell as we choose and pick the product that will best fit our needs and wants.

  6. I think that Economic Growth is shown best in America's economy. We have seen businesses start from the ground up and become a huge business within a few years. This also creates new jobs, goods, and more wealth. Of course, this doesn't always happen, but with our economy it is always possible.

  7. Doing your own thing would be the best thing about the economic system in America, this would be called individual freedom. We are allowed to do pretty much anything to make our money. However we are far from free market and even our individual freedom has restrictions due to the goverment influence.

  8. I think the most important goal is our individual freedoms. Because our entire counrty is supposedly free so we must keep our individual freedoms. We all as Americans should have freedom of enterprise, choice, ane private property. If we maintain our indvidual freedoms everything else should fall in line.

  9. I think that all the goals in a free market economy are important and are shown in America's economy. But the one that i think is most shown is the security and equity. I think this is best shown because of Social Security and Meidcare. Also becuase the people are protected by the government and usually all the people are treated fairly.

  10. I think the goal that is shown the best in the American economy would probably be Security and Equity. An example would be like Social Security and Medicare for the older people. The government is trying to protect the elderly people by supplying them with money to pay for their bills after they retire and to help them have medical insurance after they quit working.

  11. I think that the best shown goal of a free market economy that is found in the US I would have to say is Individual Freedom, but the only reason that i am saying that is because the other 4 goals are not very stable right now, but you still have the freedom to buy what you want, and have whatever job you wish to have.

  12. I think that individual freedom is shown best in American economy. People are able to choose where they wan to shop. People are also able to choose if they want to own or rent a home. If you own your own property, you are able to control who goes on it and who does not. Many other countries do not allow the people to decide where they want to buy from or where they want to live, but in the United States we are fortunate enough to make these choices on our own as long as we have to money to afford them.

  13. I think that the economic growht is the best goal of a free market economy shown in Americas economy. This is shown because we all are always expanding and creating more jobs and providing more services. This is very important in our nation because we need to keep expanding to keep up with the rest of the world. That is what i think is best shown in America's economy.

  14. I think the goal we see most is Security and Equity. We protect people against poverty with programs like welfare. America also has government social programs like Medicare and Medicaid. For equity, everyone is supposed to be treated fair and just.

  15. I think economic growth along with individual freedom are shown best in America's economy. People can chose what they want to do. And the economic growth is grown in the last 10 years, producing more goods.

  17. I think that individual freedom is the most important goal of a market economy because it allowes each member of society to enjoy the freedoms of enterprice, choice, & private property. People get to make their own dicisions in the marketplace. It also allows people to maintain their state of sovereignty & prevents them from feeling controlled by the government, as they would in a command style economy.

  18. I believe that the most exemplified of the five goals is the Individual Freedom. This is shown in the fact that people are free to do what they choose. They are not tied down by restrictions. People are all to do what they want and that is very important to the economy of the US.

  19. I think security and equity. We spend a lot of time and money, as a nation, trying to help older and poorer people with medical and financial problems. Our government programs are used every day and a lot of our money is spent on it.

  20. I think that economic freedom is expressed the best in today's economy. Everybody in America has a choice of starting a business or working for someone else. Nobody is forced into starting a certain business. Everybody's success in today's economy depends on the choices one makes. Some countries don't have this luxury like we do.
