Answer:The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.

Explanation:

Carrying Capacity refers to maximum number of specific species' populatuon that a particular habitat can accomodate in an area at a given span of time if it is not altered or destroyed.

Things that can have a negative impact on the carrying capacity are diseases, predators , pollution , human development projects and other factors that will alter or destroy a habitat.

When a housing development project begins the forests will be cleared out , deforestation will take place as part of the forest is removed the habitat is altered or hampered with which means it no longer cover the same extent of an areas it covered before , the lesser available area the smaller the habitat and lesser the owls that will be accommodated and the likely that they will have to leave this habitat. It is likely that some owls next with unhatched eggs will also be destroyed hence resulting to a decrease of owls.

Candice is presented with a moral dilemma. She responds by saying that the person in the dilemma should choose a course of actio
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

d. conventional

Explanation:

Kohlberg did some studies on morality and proposed a theory on moral development.

Kohlberg defined three different levels of morality (and each level consists in 2 stages). These levels are:

  • preconventional,
  • conventional and
  • postconventional

In the preconventional level, the person's morality is externally controlled and therefore acts based on what the punishment or reward will be (1st stage) or based on how good will it be for him/her to act in some way (2nd stage)

The conventional level stages also have to to with external controls but now the person thinks in function of ensure positive relationships and societal order. The third stage here depends on the approval of others. The fourth stage has to do with accepting rules because they preserve the society order  and functioning.

The postconventional level stages are defined in more abstract principles or values. The 5th stage sees the world as a place with different values that must be respected. Finally the 6th stage is based in universal ethical abstract principles.

In this example, Candice is presented with a moral dilemma, she said the person should take a course of action that will ensure that the community will not disapprove of the person's action. We can see that<u> her response has to do with external controls, specifically with the approval of the community as a whole. </u>We know that in the conventional level, the 3rd stage has to do with the approval of others. Therefore, Candice's response reflects Lawrence Kohlberg's conventional level of moral development.
