BAHASA INGGRIS

_____________. So far we have been concerned primarily with positive economic theories. Such “scientific” theories take the real world as an object to be studied, attempting to explain those economic phenomena that are observed. Positive economics seeks to determine how resources are in fact allocated in an economy. A somewhat different use of economic theory is normative, taking a definite stance about what should be done. Under the heading of normative analysis, economists have a great deal to say about how resources should be allocated. For example, an economist engaged in positive analysis might investigate why and how the American health care industry uses the quantities of capital, labor, and land that are currently devoted to providing medical services. The economist might also choose to measure the costs and benefits of devoting even more resources to health care. But when economists advocate that more resources should be allocated to health, they have implicitly moved into normative analysis.

Sometimes, race and ethnicity are used interchangeably, but it is important to understand that they are two different things, else they would not have two different names. Race has been defined as, "human population, that is believed to be distinct in some way from other human beings based on real or imagined physical differences". The racial classification is rooted more in the idea of biological classification of humans, based on the morphological features, such as skin color or facial characteristics. More often than not, an individual is externally classified into a racial group, instead of the individual choosing, where he/she belongs as part of his/her identity. The whole concept of race and specific racial groupings is often controversial, because of their impact on social identity and how the identity influences a person’s position in the social fabric. Some examples of race include, Chinese, the Indians, the Arabs, etc. The term ethnicity is derived from the Greek word ethnos, which roughly translates to ‘nation’. More commonly it is said to be people of the same race, who share a distinctive culture. In the modern day usage, the word ethnicity is used to reflect the different kinds of encounters industrialized states have with the different types of so called ‘subordinate’ groups, such as immigrants and colonized subjects. To explain it further, ethnicity refers not to the physical characteristics, but to the social traits, which are shared by a certain group of human population. The distinction is made on the basis of nationality, tribe, religion, faith, language, culture and traditions. The examples of ethnicity include the Hispanics or the Latin American community, the Native Americans in the United States of America, etc. The first main difference between race and ethnicity is the fact that race is primarily unitary. A person can only belong to one race, but can have multiple ethnic affiliations. To elaborate the point further, ethnically a person can be called Irish or Polish, but if the difference has to be made on the basis of race, then the person is classified as black or white. The next fundamental difference is that race is socially imposed and is also hierarchical. At the same time, a person has no control over his or her race. It is more about how you are perceived by others around you. But when it comes to ethnicity, a person can have control over ethnicity up to a certain limit. We will take an example to understand the point better. If a person is born in India to Indian parents, but is adopted by a French family in France, ethnically he feels French, eats French food, speaks French and is well versed with the French history and culture, but is not aware of Indian history, language, culture, etc. However, when the person travels to the United States, he is treated racially as Asian.
