utilitarianism".</span>
Utilitarianism is a standardizing moral hypothesis that
places the locus of good and bad exclusively on the results (outcomes) of picking
one activity/approach over different activities/arrangements. Thusly, it moves
past the extent of one's own advantages and considers the interests of others.
Answer:
Geneva Convention for the Treatment of Prisoners of War (GPW)
Explanation: The Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War was first adopted in 1929, but significantly revised at the 1949 conference.
It defines humanitarian protections for prisoners of war. There are 196 state parties to the Convention.
The President’s decision to deny the detainees prisoner-of-war (POW) status remains a point of contention, in particular with respect to members of the Taliban, with some arguing that it is based on an inaccurate interpretation of the Geneva Convention for the Treatment of Prisoners of War (GPW), which they assert requires that all combatants captured on the battlefield are entitled to be treated as POWs until an independent tribunal has determined otherwise.
All of the above. Haiti is located near a major fault zone, half of its population at the time lived in densely populated urban areas; their weak government, which is a remnant of colonial impact, is very poor for the same reason and therefore did not have buildings up to code regarding earthquakes.
Not sure about poor soil but it probably didn't help if that is true. Islands aren't exactly famous for a lot of quality soil (large amount of sand which is unstable).
<u>Question 1</u>
The correct answer is: "FALSE".
The total revenue earned by a firm is computed using the formula:
R= price * quantity
According to the formula, if the term "price" increases, R would increase too. But an increase in price usually decreases the amount demanded by consumers of a certain product. Therefore, if quantity demanded drops in a higher proportion than the increase in price, the final total revenue would decrease. So the final effect depends on the size of the two variations.
<u>Question 2</u>
<u>The determinants of demand are the following:</u>
- Price: inversely related to the quantity demanded, as the larger the price the smaller the amount demanded of a product.
- Income of consumers: directly related. The larger the income earned by an economic agent, the larger the amount demanded of a normal good (there are exceptions, such as inferior goods, for which income and demand are inversely related).
- Prices of related goods of services. If two goods are substitutes, the increase on the price of one, decreases the amount demanded of that product but increases the amount demanded of the other product. It two goods are complements, the increase in the price of one good decreases the amount demanded of it, and the amount demanded of the other product too.
- Tastes or preferences of consumers. If a product is in line with the general preferences of consumers the amount demanded will be large.
- Market expectations. For example, if a price is expected to rise, consumers might prefer to buy now and therefore demand increases at the moment.
