Last Thursday Chinese Student Association have a audition session for China Nite 2012 at Haven Lounge, which is the night before our economics test. (Since I am in the eBoard I will also be one of the judge to vote on who will get the limited spots to perform during China Nite). Out of 10 participants, only four singers will be selected to be the official performers during China Nite. This is related to the concept of scarcity and competition, ethical problem.
The spots of performance opportunity is a form of scarcity because eventhough there is spots available, the unlimited number of participants who wants to perform is far more than the spots that we can offer. CSA can't allow everyone to perform because time will be wasted largely if everyone is given the time to perform. Time in here is a scarce resource. We also have to let them fight in between so that we can have the best singers out of all of them through competition. As such, the quality of the night will increase.
However, not everyone is born to have good voices. What if someone really wants to have the opportunity to perform on the stage but just not the lucky one to get picked up? Is that consider fair and equal? I hope one day we can figure up a way to solve the limited scarcity problem.
