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.
