Lily Bjorlin, Chapter 4, Question 5

The passage that caught my eye in this chapter was when Wheelan started talking about DDT. We learned all about DDT last year in Biology and how it was just plain bad. However this chapter taught how even if something seems bad at first in the long run that bad thing might actually be good. You have to compare the overall oppurtunity cost. This especially comes in handy as we are an out to choose colleges and need to compare prices with how much we like the college and what we could learn there.
