A family with no children has no need for an eight passenger van, but if the only car available was a two seater, then a family with multiple children wouldn’t be able to transport them effectively. Luckily, this is not the case, and families can purchase a car that is specific to their individual needs. There are thousands of different cars on the market, and all have something that makes them uniquely appropriate for a certain type of person. If a family wants a car with more safety features they can have it, or if another person wants a car with better gas mileage, they can have that specific car. Having this ability to choose helps make people happier and healthier.
