"A government operates with the goal of promoting human rights" is based on John Locke's definition of the social contract.
<u>Option: C</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The concept of social contracts states "that people work together in society according to an arrangement that determines moral and political rules of behaviour". Number of individuals seem to have faith that if we expend a life by a social agreement, we should live by our own choices but morally rather than just because it is predicted of a divine being.
John Locke's interpretation of the theory of social contracts hits in suggesting that the only right individual to give up in order to join civil society and its rewards is the right to punish others for violating their rights.
The correct answer is: "People in the community fear becoming similarly shamed."
Indeed, Hester Prynne has been convicted of adultery because of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. This is not only considered a sin by the very religious and Puritan society of her time but a crime under their theocratic laws. Her Scarlett letter is a form of public shaming that completely ostracizes her from her society and most people scorn her for her sin.
Answer:
just slightly below the replacement population rate.
Explanation:
According to recent numbers, women in the United States aren't having enough babies. The replacement population rate, that is, the number of children a woman needs to have in order to keep the population the same, is 2.1. However, the latest data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the fertility rate in the US now stands at 1.72 children per woman, just slightly below the replacement population rate. The US rate had been a little under 2.1 since 1971, but in the last decade, it has fallen even more dramatically. The reasons for this are a cause for debate, but generally speaking, it is usually argued that it is a side effect of more and more women joining the workforce, thus having less time and desire to raise a family, and a lower number of teen pregnancies. Nevertheless, population in the United States keeps growing despite the low fertility rate thanks to immigration from other countries.
