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!
They believe in reincarnation. I hope this helped

Confucius was a social reformer and believed in morals and a philosophy which he wrote in the “Five canons” and the “Four Books”. It is explained that the priorities are family first and community second.
Thus the values:
1. The ruler must be righteous. He must lead by example, to work hard and inspire others to live morally. The ruler must take care of the well-being of his followers
2. Confucius believed that is by “study and practice” that human beings evolve and that education is the way to improve.
3. The ancestors should be respected and worshiped as part of a religion.
The correct answer is B.
The American Progress was painted in 1872 by John Gast and it provides an image of the Westward Expansion. It shows how progress was brought progressively to the savage and unknown Western lands. Actually the East is represented on the right side of the image as the area with bright blues skies, as a contraposition to the dark West. The woman in the middle is called 'Progress', and she carries a book which represents the intellectual developments. These developments came together with the innovative tecnical and farming mechanisms that the indigenous people who moved to the area had to put in practice in order to make a living in the new lands, and that allowed them to undertake agricultural activities profitably.
