Gross Domestic Product, called GDP, is the most widely used tool in measuring the size of a country’s economy.
Gross domestic product is the market value of all final goods and services locally (within a country), that is, they are produced within the country during a specific period of time. It can be said that it is also everything produced by individuals and companies within the state.
It helps to measure an indicator of the individual’s standard of living within the country, and in other words, the domestic product is a measure of the performance of the economy. The higher the rate of GDP, the greater the size of the overall economy, and thus the total income increases, and in the end it is offset by the increase in the income that the individual gets.
GDP is usually measured on a quarterly or annual basis, and central banks and other relevant institutions raise or lower their growth forecasts based on the prevailing factors in the economy.
The GDP is measured in three ways, which are the output method, the income method, and the expenditure method.

Why Ask Why?
Prompt: Stephen Hawking stated in A Brief History of Time (1988) that a good theory is characterized by the fact that it makes a number of predictions that
could in principle be disproved or falsified by observation. In other words, to develop a good theory, you need to be able to test your predictions. Whether your
prediction was correct or not, your results will likely lead to new questions.
To get started on this assignment, first review these resources:
10 Questions for Stephen Hawking (video interview) (4:47)
Stephen Hawking (19422018): Toward a Complete Understanding of the Universe
The 20 Big Questions in Science
Then, answer the following questions:
1. How has Hawking’s research contributed to the field of natural science?
2. What do you think drives a scientist like Stephen Hawking to ask “Why?”
3. How does science build on itself? In other words, how are scientists influenced by the work of those who came before them? Provide an example of a
scientific discovery that built on the work of another scientist.
Your responses on this assignment will directly support your work on Project 3.
