The abundance implies the large amount that exists and that something is available.
Large quantity that exists or something is available
What abounds will be said to be abundant, meanwhile, what abounds may be issues that affect someone's reality, either positively or negatively, including money, work, poverty, among others.
Now, it can be applied to both material and abstract questions.
The other side of it is the so-called scarcity, a situation in which what is needed is lacking.
Economic situation in which needs can be satisfied and more ...
On the other hand, the term abundance allows to describe that economic situation in which all human needs can be satisfiedIn other words, by having a large sum of money, you will be able to access the good or service you want.
It is precisely a concept that is used very frequently in the economic field, for example, when it is said of someone who lives in abundance what they are wanting to express is that they have a great material wealth that facilitates access Unrestricted to any type of goods.
When someone lives in abundance, they do not pay attention to how much they spend on one product or how much the other costs, they buy it and that's it because they have excess resources, meanwhile, in opposite scenarios such as the scarcity that we just mentioned, they do not even have a sum to be able to satisfy the most basic needs.
It is in this sense that this concept is commonly used as a synonym for prosperity and well-being.
Regarding those people who live in the framework of economic prosperity, we must say that there are some common and widespread questions.
Main questions about economic abundance
In principle, the one that revolves around the way in which so many economic resources were obtained, that is, if they come from a legal origin, or failing that, such could be the latter case of political corruption.

But there is also strong opposition and questioning of material abundance by those who subscribe to that position that rejects the exploitation of natural assets and excessive consumerism.
Prosperity in Greek mythology
The aforementioned economic prosperity has a symbol that represents it and this is precisely the call horn of plenty or cornucopia, whose graphic symbol is a horn shaped glass.

Use in chemistry and rhetoric
The natural abundance It is the amount of each isotope of a chemical element that exists in nature and is expressed as a percentage. While the natural abundances of each isotope will allow to calculate the atomic mass of each element.
Whenever you want to isolate a natural element, you must first know its abundance, then this will be the amount that exists in a specific region of the world. The abundance of elements on earth and in the different regions that make up the planet is the product of the evolutionary history of that specific earth.
Another area in which the term abundance is common and has a special use is in the rhetoric, since in this context abundance is the same as saying that there is wealth of thoughts or ways of expressing yourself, that is, when an individual expresses himself using a wide vocabulary, which denotes his culture and enlightenment. The baroque concept It is one of the literary movements that best fits the aforementioned characteristic.
