Answer:

d. a palter

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Kant would call this misleading statement a palter. This term refers to a statement that has been made ambiguous in order to hide the truth from someone or in order to avoid committing yourself to something. Which in this scenario "You" are trying to hide the fact that Bill is playing "hooky" from your boss.

Answer:

D) a palter

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher that proposed the doctrine of transcendental idealism. This doctrine states that as individuals we view objects and events not as they really are, but as they appear to us relative to our ideas or preconceptions. He proposed his categorical imperative which was that the truth should be told every time, no matter what.

A palter is an old word defined as a deliberate wrong response or act, given or made to confuse someone else.

In this case, you know Bill is not working and you also know that what he is doing is not right, but you choose to lie to your boss in an attempt to cover Bill's bad actions. Obviously the relationship with Bill is more important to you than what happens to your work (what affects a company, affects its employees and customers).

The table below reports the total population in a country and the number of people in different groups as below:Total population
weqwewe [10]

The unemployment rate in this population is 12%

First of all we have to find the total labour force in this country

Children less than 18 + people in the military + people in jail + retirees + marginally attached workers + full time students

= 50million + 15million + 30 million + 10 million + 30 million + 20

= 155 million

Labor force = 280million - 155 million

= 125 million

In this population those working full time and part time are the number of those that are employed.

= 30 million + 80 million

= 110 million

The unemployed = 125 million - 110 million

= 15million

The unemployment rate =

\frac{Unemployed}{LaborForce} \\=\frac{15}{125}

= 0.12

The unemployment rate = 12%

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal​, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 a
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.

This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.

Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.
