Answer to Question 1

China is not better off because of higher rates of growth of GDP. GDP is not a perfect measure of well-being. GDP is not adjusted for pollution or other negative effects of production. Certainly the rapid growth of GDP raises the standards of living of many in China. However, this comes at a cost of dirty air and water. According to the World Health Organization, seven of the ten most polluted cities in the world are in China. This pollution can result in negative health effects. The improvement in standards of living affect well-being in a positive manner, but the increased pollution has a negative effect on well-being. In addition, GDP per capita may be a better measure of standard of living rather than growth in GDP.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
