As a child, I was taught that the Public Good is anything and almost everything that is beneficial not only to most of the members of our society, but especially to those who are among the weakest and the most vulnerable. Sometimes, in order to achieve a Public Good, sacrifices are necessary, but the line between Ethical and Good may sometimes become muddled. Nonetheless, my definition of the Public Good includes products or services provided by non-profit organizations, welfare programs, and information
INTRODUCTION PUBLIC GOODS Public good is an item whose consumption is determined by society not by individual consumers. Examples include national defense, law enforcement, parks. These goods are financed by taxes because they are created for the welfare of public. Basically the goods which can be consumed without reducing its availability to other individual and the other one is not excluded are public goods. The vice versa of these goods are private goods. A private good is a product that must
A good can either be a private good or public good. Two factors define the characteristics of a private or public good. The characteristics that define a good are its excludability, the ability the consumption a good has on future consumption for others, and whether or not its rivalrous, the effect consumption of a good has on quantity of future consumption.

There are people who are able to view the show from their homes; window and backyard. Because the entrepreneur is unable to charge for consumption, the fireworks show may go unproduced, even if the is
also bring to mind the question of whether higher education is a public or private good.

A decent example of funded public good is the public highway and road system. Roads are supported by Federal Government funds, compensated by taxes. An excessive free highway system is vital for a current economy because stress-free expedient transportation is crucial to the movement of goods from suppliers to consumers and for individuals to go back and forth to work, go on a vacation, visit friends and family, or just for recreational purposes (Behboodi, 2009).The capability to transport raw resources
