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.
The most developed country in the world is actually Norway.
"Here is the most developed country in the world. It is highly ranked on the list of the highly developed countries in the world by the Human Development Index (HDI) with the highest score of 0.944. Norway comes as the 4th country in the world by GDP (PPP) per capita which records $55,398 and the life expectancy in this country is high as it records 80 years for males and 84 years for females.
Norway is ranked among the top countries in the world in terms of having the highest standard of living, has a perfect universal health care and it is ranked as the largest producer of natural gas and oil in the whole world excluding the Middle East. Economy in Norway chiefly relies on the extensive reserves of natural resources such as minerals, natural gas, petroleum, hydropower, fresh water and seafood. In Norway, you can also enjoy high quality of life, low unemployment rate and democracy since it was ranked before as the most democratic country in the world."

Undoubtedly, there needs to be a certain degree of arms proliferation in all countries in order to secure their borders from external or internal threats. However, when the military budget of countries like the USA, the world´s largest power, is far greater than the budget destined to meet other needs of the State, these latter ones are unavoidably neglected, to the detriment of the country´s people. On the other hand, if a greater budget is destined to the building of infrastructure, history shows —like in Japan and Germany— that the economy becomes less dependent on warfare and relies more on human capital and culture.
The question then becomes whether economic gain through arms proliferation is more advantageous to the welfare of the people or if the wellbeing of the people —through the building of infrastructure— is more beneficial to any given government. Since the wellbeing of the people is, in principle —based on the International Bill of Human Rights—, the aim of all countries, these should be more preoccupied with the building of infrastructure.

Answer:
Sensory adaptation.
Explanation:
Sensory adaptation is the decrease in the awareness of a stimulus due to constant exposure to it. The sensitivity decrease of this stimulus allows us to pay attention to other stimuli in the environment. This phenomenon happens with smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch, in other words, with the five senses.
In the described situation, we can see that as Brad smelled the sweet odor constantly, his sensory receptors became less aware of the overwhelming smell and allowed him to pay attention to other stimuli in the bakery.
