Hi!


The central idea of the metaphor was that the people in the lifeboat are the rich nations, whereas those that are drowning are the poor nations.

This metaphor is known as lifeboat ethics, and is used to illustrate the distribution of resources.

The metaphor depicts a lifeboat which is boarded by 50 people (the wealthy nations), and 100 people swimming in the surrounding water at risk of drowning. The 'ethical issue' is stirred by the fact that there is room for 10 more people on this lifeboat, and if the surrounding people should be taken aboard -and if so, what would be the conditions of such an act.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

Republic of the Philippines

Explanation:

Hello!

The Spanish-American War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, on December 10, 1898. In accordance with this Treaty, Spain ceded it to the US, in addition to the custody of the island of Cuba, the island of Puerto Rico, the island of Guam and the archipelago of the Philippines.

Because the US government did not recognize the autonomy of the archipelago, the American Philippine War began. After being defeated, the Philippines became an American colony until the Second World War.

The Republic of the Philippines declared its independence on July 4, 1946.

mart [117]

Answer:

10 Workers would cause the marginal cost to exceed the marginal benefit.

Explanation:The marginal cost is the total cost of a final product. Including every dollar spent. Taking a Lynch perspective here, the cost would consider equipment, corporation properties, and every other expense. So, at the end of all the sum of investment, we will obtain a number of costs related to each unit produced. The bigger the amount, the smaller the cost price. Therefore, it is very important. The Marginal benefit is the advantage a customer has over the price of a certain product in case of requiring to buy two of the same. In other words, is the price the customer is willing to pay for a second unit of the same product. In our case, the combination of both gets us 10 workers because at that price we would require 10 workers o exceed the price the customer is willing to pay for a second unit of the same product.

Ivenika [448]
The major way in which border areas of the west were affected by the mixture of people is that a plethora of immigrants from all over the world wanted to expand to the west in order to settle--meaning that people from all backgrounds often fought over land and job opportunities.
