Answer:In Book I of Plato’s Republic, Cephalus defines ‘justice’ as speaking the truth and paying one’s debts. Socrates quickly refutes this account by suggesting that it would be wrong to repay certain debts—for example, to return a borrowed weapon to a friend who is not in his right mind. Socrates’ point is not that repaying debts is without moral import; rather, he wants to show that it is not always right to repay one’s debts, at least not exactly when the one to whom the debt is owed demands repayment. What we have here is a conflict between two moral norms: repaying one’s debts and protecting others from harm. And in this case, Socrates maintains that protecting others from harm is the norm that takes priority.
Nearly twenty-four centuries later, Jean-Paul Sartre described a moral conflict the resolution of which was, to many, less obvious than the resolution to the Platonic conflict. Sartre (1957) tells of a student whose brother had been killed in the German offensive of 1940. The student wanted to avenge his brother and to fight forces that he regarded as evil. But the student’s mother was living with him, and he was her one consolation in life. The student believed that he had conflicting obligations. Sartre describes him as being torn between two kinds of morality: one of limited scope but certain efficacy, personal devotion to his mother; the other of much wider scope but uncertain efficacy, attempting to contribute to the defeat of an unjust aggressor.
While the examples from Plato and Sartre are the ones most commonly cited, there are many others. Literature abounds with such cases. In Aeschylus’s Agamemnon, the protagonist ought to save his daughter and ought to lead the Greek troops to Troy; he ought to do each but he cannot do both. And Antigone, in Sophocles’s play of the same name, ought to arrange for the burial of her brother, Polyneices, and ought to obey the pronouncements of the city’s ruler, Creon; she can do each of these things, but not both. Areas of applied ethics, such as biomedical ethics, business ethics, and legal ethics, are also replete with such cases.
2. The Concept of Moral Dilemmas
What is common to the two well-known cases is conflict. In each case, an agent regards herself as having moral reasons to do each of two actions, but doing both actions is not possible. Ethicists have called situations like these moral dilemmas. The crucial features of a moral dilemma are these: the agent is required to do each of two (or more) actions; the agent can do each of the actions; but the agent cannot do both (or all) of the actions. The agent thus seems condemned to moral failure; no matter what she does, she will do something wrong (or fail to do something that she ought to do).
The Platonic case strikes many as too easy to be characterized as a genuine moral dilemma. For the agent’s solution in that case is clear; it is more important to protect people from harm than to return a borrowed weapon. And in any case, the borrowed item can be returned later, when the owner no longer poses a threat to others. Thus in this case we can say that the requirement to protect others from serious harm overrides the requirement to repay one’s debts by returning a borrowed item when its owner so demands. When one of the conflicting requirements overrides the other, we have a conflict but not a genuine moral dilemma. So in addition to the features mentioned above, in order to have a genuine moral dilemma it must also be true that neither of the conflicting requirements is overridden (Sinnott-Armstrong 1988, Chapter 1).

plz make me as brainlistClass Activity- Directions: In order to fully understand the power of the narrator, read the passage from Chapter Three below, then answer the questions that follow. Sometimes the work was hard; the implements had been designed for human beings and not for animals, and it was a great drawback that no animal was able to use any tool that involved standing on his hind legs. But the pigs were so clever that they could think of a way round every difficulty. As for the horses, they knew every inch of the field, and in fact understood the business of mowing and raking far better than Jones and his men had ever done. The pigs did not actually work but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership. Boxer and Clover would harness themselves to the cutter or the horse-rake (no bits or reins were needed in these days, of course) and tramp steadily round and round the field with a pig walking behind and calling out "Gee up, comrade!" or "Whoa back, comrade!" as the case might be. And every animal down to the humblest worked at turning the hay and gathering it. Even the ducks and hens toiled to and fro all day in the sun, carrying tiny wisps of hay in their beaks. In the end they finished the harvest in two days' less time than it had usually taken Jones and his men. Moreover, it was the biggest harvest that the farm had ever seen. There was no wastage whatever; the hens and ducks with their sharp eyes had gathered up the very last stalk. And not an animal on the farm had stolen so much as a mouthful.
1. Underline/highlight the words, phrases, and/or sentences that are particularly expressive of the narrator’s tone. What is the tone of the passage?
2. What is the effect of such a tone? How does it add to our experience of reading the story?
3. Why do you think the author has chosen to tell the story from this particular point of view?
4. How does the narrator feel about the amount of work the pigs are doing on the farm?
1a. The words, phrases, and/or sentences that are particularly expressive of the narrator’s tone are:
Sometimes the work was hard.Great drawback.The pigs did not actually work.Even the ducks and hens toiled to and fro all day in the sun.It was the biggest harvest that the farm had ever seen.There was no wastage whatever.1b. The tone of the passage is objective.
2. The objective tone had a neutral effect. Thus, the reader could tell exactly how things happened on the farm.
3. The author chose to use the objective point of view to help the reader know what he saw and heard on the farm but not what the characters thought or felt.
4. The narrator feels that the pigs were doing a huge amount of work in their supervisory position.
The narrator in this passage used an objective tone to talk about the events that transpired on the farm without bias. This added neutrality to the passage as we are able to see what actually happened.
He also believed that even though the pigs were not doing hard physical labor, their supervisory work was equally important.

along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies,
I will make inseparable cities with their arms about each other’s necks,

By the manly love of comrades.

According to the Classical Model of aggregate
demand, any increase in real GDP must come
from which of the following occurring?
A. a leftward shift in the LRAS curve
B. a rightward shift in the LRAS curve
C. a leftward shift in the AD curve
Answer: c
Explanation:
Because I’m smart
According to the Classical Model of aggregate demand, any increase in real GDP must come from a leftward shift in the AD curve. Therefore, the correct option is option C.
What is GDP?The total financial or market worth of all of the finished products and services generated within a nation's boundaries during a certain time period is known as the gross domestic product (GDP). It serves as a thorough assessment of the state of the economy in a particular nation because it is a wide indicator of total domestic production.
Even while GDP is frequently estimated on a yearly basis, it can also be calculated quarterly. For instance, the government of the United States produces an annualised GDP estimate for both the calendar year and each fiscal quarter. Each piece of data in this report is presented in real terms, which means that it has been adjusted to fluctuations in prices and is therefore net of inflation. According to the Classical Model of aggregate demand, any increase in real GDP must come from a leftward shift in the AD curve.
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
