Answer:

No

Explanation:

Hedonistic Utilitarianism or hedonic act-utilitarianism may be defined as a theory which states that a right action is the one which produces or tends to give the greatest net happiness to anybody.

It is the ethics which claims that the act of a person is morally correct if it gives or tends to give pleasure or happiness. In other words, if people are given choice they tend to choose happiness and pleasure and avoid pain. It is  therefore the pleasure one gets minus the pain that the person will suffer of the alternative.

Thus in the contest, It is not morally wrong to cheat in the exam tomorrow because according to the hedonic act utilitarianism theory this act would tend to produce happiness and will avoid my pain and fear if I fail the exam tomorrow.

Which of the following would be an effective way for Mexico to decrease the number of its citizens migrating away from the count
Masja [62]

Answer:

The answer would be C.

Explanation:

A. wouldn't do anything for Mexico, it would just make more Mexican citizens flea from Mexico.

B. wouldn't work at all because a wall has been proven not to stop anyone.

D. wouldn't work either. Mexico enforcing or not enforcing anti-drug laws has been proven not to change anything. In fact, to compare this so that it makes more sense, guns are completely illegal in Mexico, and Mexican Citizens and Cartels still have so many firearms that are usually illegal in the United States. So what would happen if they even tried to change anything about enforcing fewer or more anti-drug laws?

<u>Main point is that education opportunities in Mexico would make a huge change, especially if it was more politic related because then it would cause another type of revolution to occur, resulting in people wanting to fight for a good cause and a better future for Mexico.</u>

kondaur [170]

The answer is stated below along with an explanation:

Yes. I believe that both the incomplete dominant and co-dominant patterns of inheritance is found in the human traits. In psychology classes, those topics are tackled and discussed. For example let's say incomplete dominant inheritance, when the father has a straight hair and the mother has a curly hair, then the child will have a wavy hair. For co-dominant inheritance example, half the cell of a person may include both sickle cell and normal cell.
