Kant believed in something he called the <em>categorical imperative. </em>A categorical imperative is a particular moral position that holds in all possible situations - an unshakable moral law, in other words. For imperatives like "do not kill," this seems reasonable, but for others, such as "do not lie," it gets a little hairier.

Imagine a scenario where a murderer comes to your door and asks if you've see your friend around. Moments before, your friend came to you telling you about the murderer, asking if they could hide at your house. Kant would say you're obligated not to lie, so your options are to either shut the door on the murderer (not a great idea) or give away your friend's hiding place (an even worse idea). You can see how a little white lie wouldn't hurt, and would in fact <em>prevent harm from happening</em>. If you were a sworn Kantian, it might play out badly for everyone involved.

To answer your question in light of that, Kantian ethics hold that certain moral standards are universal and impose a duty on <em>all </em>humans. Do not lie. Period.

Which of the following is true of the Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations?
Mariana [72]

I can at least tell you it isn't

The territory was divided into independent city-states. ( I got a zero.)

Nor the flat land, as I remember the  Aztec  farmed from "Floating gardens."


The Aztec traded everything. So, If it's supposed to fit all three of them, it's already out for that option. (And all of them traded.)


I think, It'd have to be the last option left then, Corn being an important crop. <u><em>It should be.</em></u>

Developing countries tend to focus more on the goal of economic growth than developed countries.
natali 33 [55]

True. Developing countries tend to focus more on the goal of economic growth than developed countries.

<h3>What is developing country?</h3>

An independent nation that has a less developed industrial base and a lower Human Development Index (HDI) than other nations is considered to be a developing country. However, not everyone agrees with this definition. On which nations fall into this category, there is likewise no apparent consensus.

Low and middle-income country (LMIC) is a phrase that is frequently used interchangeably, but it only relates to the economies of the countries. The World Bank divides the world's economy into four categories based on gross national income per capita: high, upper-middle, lower-middle, and low income countries.

Subgroups of developing countries include least developed nations, landlocked developing nations, and small island developing states. On the other end of the range, nations are typically referred to as high-income or developed nations.
