This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that yes, there are absolute standards for truth and justice, since we as humans have developed ways of understanding right and wrong. 

Explanation:

Socrates believed that real achievement extended only with the Gods and that the best we can do is support their example as best as likely within our human deprivation. The absolute standards to which you apply would, accordingly, be known only to them and would not be available by us, which was what made the regular examination of one's life and actions for potential error crucial. To believe that humans could be as accurate as gods by the effort of will would have been deemed the final hubris. So yes, I accept such measures exist, but I also believe that they are behind our knowledge to succeed.

Which statement best summarizes both the rise of capitalism and growing criticism of the system during the 19th century?
Vesna [10]

The correct answer is C) Capitalism developed as an alternative to inefficient mercantilist policies, but it drew criticism for increasing the gap between the rich and poor.

Mercantilism and capitalism are two very different economic systems. Mercantilism is a system which relies on one country developing a favorable balance of trade and obtaining valuable resources from a colony. This was the system used when America was still controlled by Great Britain.

As America gained independence, they focused on developing a more capitalist society. This society is based on individual freedom, as citizens can decide what they buy. Along with this, American businesses and citizens are not forced to trade with one specific country.
