Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) was a Spanish colonizer and conqueror, who leaded the conquest of the Mexican territories, that started in 1519 with the occupation of Veracruz. The tales about the sacking of the Mexican capital, Tenochtitlan, are still legendary nowadays.
After the takeover of Veracruz, Cortes gave the order of sinking his own ships (it was thought they were burnt, but nowadays that hypothesis is being questioned). Anyway, he destroyed his ships on purpouse to force his men to go forward and conquer the New World, both in the militar and spiritual (goal of spreading the Christian religion) dimensions.
- Agreement with his decision: of course it is an incredibly effective manner of ensuring that his men would be motivated to conquer the territory, mainly because they did not have an alternative choice. They had to become rulers there or be lost in the middle of unknown lands. It can be claimed how the ultimate goal justifies the means.
- Disagreement with the decision: it can be argued how unethical is that he prevented his men from deciding if they wanted to participate or not on the mission. He eliminated the choice.

The correct answer is B) The elimination of poverty and racial injustice in America.
Lyndon B Johnson's "Great Society" program was the name given to the policies and laws he wanted to implement in American society in order to make it equal for all Americans. At the time of his presidency, racism was still rampant in the US (especially in the Southern states) and millions of Americans lived in poverty. His goal was to create federal programs that would help aid in America becoming a better society. An example of this would be the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which helped to end segregation of public facilities.
