Human wants are varied. They differ from place to place and time to time. In fact, they are unlimited. It means that human wants are numerous. A man is always bundle of desires. For example, a boy may want a bicycle than he may need a scooter or a motor-cycle. His wants are unlimited in relation to his means.
Different wants exist simultaneously and all of them cannot be satisfied at once. For example, a student may have a desire for a pair of shoes or terylene shirt,or a book, but all the wants cannot be satisfied with a limited amount of money. So there is a sort of competition among the wants. In such cases, the problem of choice arises. He has to choose between the more urgent wants and less urgent wants. Thus there is competition among the wants.
Sometimes in order to satisfy a particular want we need more than one good, Suppose a man wants to construct a house he may require cement, bricks, timber, labour etc. Thus to satisfy a particular want he need several things. Tooth brush and tooth paste, pen and ink, car and petrol, bat and ball are com-plementary good. There are also alternative sources of satisfying a particular want. Suppose a person wants some recreation, he may go to cinema or drama or listen to radio or T.V. Wants vary in their Intensing: Wants differ in importance. Some wants are very urgent and others can be postponed. Most of the people at present take coffee as they get up from bed everyday. This has become a habit with them. Smoking is also an example for this.
So, wants give rise to activities. Discovery of new product or invention of new style stimulates wants and increases consumption.
In spite of all these characteristics of wants, they are influenced by advertisements.
Since the people give room for wants, they are able to meet requirements for necessaries, comforts and luxuries. The term Wealth means stock of goods existing at a given time that have money value.
