Back to Needs vs. WantsChapter 2 - Needs vs. Wants
Sort Needs and Wants
Decide which items are usually needs and which are usually wants.
What you'll learn
- Explain a need and a want
- Sort examples using simple reasoning
- Recognize that context can sometimes change the answer
A need is something important for basic living, safety, health, or learning. A want is something optional that can still be fun or meaningful.
Context matters
A winter coat may be a need in a cold place. A restaurant meal might be a want most days, but food itself is a need.
