In explaining how a person can enter a social contract and be obliged

to the laws of civil society, Locke invokes the notion of "tacit consent." Rawls, who is also a "social contract theorist," of sorts, argues that a social contract can arise only from "hypothetical consent." What is the difference between Locke's notion of tacit consent and Rawls's notion of hypothetical consent?

a) Tacit consent requires actually expressing one's consent to the terms of the contract, whereas hypothetical consent simply requires that a citizen would have given consent under certain ideal conditions.

b) One who gives tacit consent implies consent to the terms of the contract through her actions, whereas someone who gives hypothetical consent offers her explicit word on the basis of her particular desires.

c) One who gives tacit consent implicitly suggests, through her actions, that she accepts the terms of the contract, whereas to say that someone hypothetically consents means that she would have consented to the terms of the contract were she asked to do so under certain ideal conditions.

d) Tacit consent is consent given in the state of nature, whereas hypothetical consent occurs within an ideal society.

e) Tacit consent is consent given by any rational agent, irrespective of her particular desires or ends, whereas someone who gives hypothetical consent agrees to the terms of the contract based on some particular desire that she has.

Answer:

c) One who gives tacit consent implicitly suggests, through her actions, that she accepts the terms of the contract, whereas to say that someone hypothetically consents means that she would have consented to the terms of the contract were she asked to do so under certain ideal conditions.

Explanation:

The major difference between Locke's notion of tacit consent and Rawl's notion of hypothetical consent is that unlike tacit consent, someone that hypothetically consents means that the person would have likely consented to the terms of the contract if she was asked to do so under certain ideal conditions.

Tacit consent involves implicitly suggesting through actions that she accepts the terms of the contract.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter d) trust vs. mistrust.

Explanation:

Trust vs. mistrust is the very first stage in the psychosocial development theory by Erik Erikson. From ages 0 to 18 months, children rely on their caregivers to give them a sense of reliability, predictability, and consistency, which will allow children to develop trust. Children are very uncertain of the world when at this stage, so the caregiver is their source of stability. When children do not encounter such characteristics, they develop anxiety, mistrust, and suspicion.

Answer:

The subsequent state is knwon as excitation transfer.

Explanation:

<em>This theory supports that residual excitation from one stimulus will amplify the excitatory response to another stimulus. It is not limited to a single emotion, the excitation transfer process requires the presence of three conditions: the second stimulus occurs before the complete decay of residual excitation from the first one,  there is the misattribution of excitation, and the individual has not reached an excitatory threshold before exposure to the second stimulus.</em>
