First, we will define some characteristics:
Rival goods are those that are consumed in the process of being used - thus one person's use inhibits that of another.
Exclusive goods are those that can be rationed - people can be kept from using them unless they pay.
----
Private goods are rival and exclusive. An example would be a turkey sandwich - I have to pay to eat it, and once I've eaten it, you cannot as well.
Pure public goods are non-rival and non-exclusive. An example would be general knowledge. The knowledge itself is non-exclusive (though the medium of transmission may be), and the learning of additional people of some principle does not diminish its usefulness to others.
Natural monopolies (or impure public goods) are non-rival but exclusive. An un-congested toll road is a good example - individuals must pay to use it, and additional use does not hinder the use of others. Broadcast cable signals are another example.
Common goods (or resources) are rival and non-exclusive. People cannot be kept from using it, but additional use hinders the utility each individual gains. Examples include the environment and congested freeways.
a positive outcome, and a negative outcome
Government tries to encourage positive externalities and limit negative externalities..
Negative externalities lead markets to produce a larger quantiy than is socially desirable. Positive externatlities lead markets to porduce a smaller quantity than is social desirable. To remedy the problem, the government can internalize the externality by taxing goods that have negative externalities and susidizing good that have positive externalities.

Externalities is a result of a certain set of things that happen in our world that impact people in either a positive or a negative way. Such as the pollution that some factories emit during the production process. The pollution emitted is a negative externality that effects the people.

Only the private sector can create both positive and negative externalities.

In economics, there are positive an negative externalities. Positive externalities are like positive side effects on the community after an economic decision like: congress puts more funds into schooling, students learn more, they graduate, and then they DON'T mess up the economy. See? Better for everyone. Oh yeah, and the opposite for Negative Externalities.

Please give some examples of negative externalities and possible ways to correct them
Just a few external factors include: An aging population; Innovation; Going Green trend; and Global competitors
