Answer to Question 1

A monetary carrot that the students might answer because it is close to their lives is student aid, such as Pell grants. A monetary stick might be taxes on liquor. A non-monetary carrot is government support for youth sports, such as allowing little league teams to use a county park, and a non-monetary stick is jail terms for illegal drug or alcohol use.

Answer to Question 2

One example of an issue concerns the income necessary to live in an apartment building in San Francisco. A May 5, 2014 headline from The San Francisco Chronicle was S.F. Landlord: Make 100K or Get Out. This story discusses an owner's attempt to make the tenants prove that their annual income is at least 100,000 . The owner is following his self-interest because he wants to have only high-income residents who, presumably, create less damage and might be willing to pay more rent. The head of San Francisco's Housing Rights Committee, Sara Shortt, believes that the requirement is not in the social interest. She asserts that the effort definitely reads like a harassment tactic and that the effort to force tenants to move is illegal. She believes that the social interest is served by having a variety of tenants in the apartments.

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.
