Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fossil fuels can be considered a modern Tragedy of the Commons because they are a shared resource that is being depleted at an unsustainable rate. As more and more countries and industries rely on these non-renewable resources, the environmental consequences become more severe, such as climate change and pollution. Despite the known risks, there is a lack of collective action and regulation to address the issue, leading to a tragedy for future generations. The other choices (Internet, military resources, and social media) can also have negative consequences or be considered shared resources, but they do not fit the definition of a Tragedy of the Commons as well as fossil fuels.
