Question:
Resources have value- discuss ?
Answer:
An object or substance becomes a resource only when it has a value. The usefulness of the object gives
it a value. As a resource is something that has utility, all resources have some value. The value of the
object can be classified into two categories
Resources that have economic or commercial value
Resources that do not have economic or commercial value
Metal is a resource that has economic value as we make many products from it, for our daily use.
On the other hand a beautiful scenery you see may not have economic value but is still considered a
resource as it is useful in giving pleasure to the human mind.
