The United States tried to remain neutral during World War I, but numerous things occured that tipped the balance and made the U.S. finally declare war. The first thing was the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, by Germany. The Lusitania was a ship carrying over 1,000 innocent passengers, with over 100 Americans onboard, a German U-boat sank the ship, ultimately killing everyone. Americans were furious about this, but it was not enough for the United States to declare war and join the Allied powers during World War I. The Zimmerman Telegram was the occurrence that finally made President Woodrow Wilson finally declare war. The Zimmerman Telegram was supposed to be a secret telegram to Mexico from the Germans, however it was decoded and brought to the United States' attention in 1917. This telegram stated if Mexico sided with Germany during World War I, and attacked the states, when Germany won the war they promised they would give Mexico territories. This was a huge threat, as Mexico bordered the United States, and it was the final straw into the United States entering World War I. On April 6, 1917, after the speech of Woodrow Wilson, the United States had officially declared war on Germany and entered World War I as one of the Allied powers.

The correct answer is C) a Straw Man.

<em>The type of fallacy the second council member is making is Straw Man. </em>

A strawman argument is an argument that is fallacious and distorts an opposing argument with the intention of attacking it more easily. But what really happens is that the strawman argument is not responding or attacking the original argument, but a distorted idea of the original argument,

In this case, the type of fallacy the second council member is making is a strawman, when he says that “making drinking water only available to rich people is a terrible idea.”

Why does Mill call utilitarianism a "more profoundly religious [doctrine] than any other"?
choli [55]

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that was born in the eighteenth century and whose creator is called Jeremy Bentham. Utilitarianism seeks the greatest good, for the greatest number of people, that is, seeks happiness for all people.


John Stuart Mill, adept to this doctrine, argued that the human being is in a constant search to achieve the greatest pleasure. Mill placed spiritual and intellectual happiness in the first place and, in the background, bodily pleasure.


He argues that “utilitarianism is more profoundly religious [doctrine] than any other” because this doctrine is aimed at seeking the greatest happiness not only of one's own but also of one's neighbor. The pleasure and suffering that is related to God's love and punishment appears in this search for happiness. If he performs good deeds, he will be rewarded, but if he does bad deeds, he will be punished.
