Features of human want apart from the fact that they require resources to satisfy

1. They are insatiable/endless/unlimited- The satisfaction of one human need leads to the need to still have it but in a more improved way. One has a car, for instance but still works hard to buy a better one.
2. Some are universal- some human wants like food and clothing are common to all human beings
3. They are complementary- Some human needs, once satisfied will require that others are also satisfied so as for it to work or serve its purpose. For instance if on acquires a car, he or she must buy fuel so that he car can run.
4. They are repetitive/recurrent- Some human needs like hunger can only be satisfied temporarily
5. They are habit forming/addictive- use of certain goods to satisfy some needs may lead to dependence on such substances
6. They vary in urgency and intensity- Some human wants are more urgent than others
7. They are dynamic- Human needs change with time, age, health status, social and even economic status
8. They are competitive- Human wants always compete for attention. Each would like to be satisfied first.
