Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tragedy of the commons refers to a situation in which individuals acting in their own self-interest may ultimately lead to a depletion or degradation of a shared resource. In this case, one farmer's personal wants or needs outweigh their commitment to the interests of the community, leading to overuse of the grazing land and freshwater for their sheep. This ultimately results in degradation or depletion of the shared resource, which affects the entire community.
