How do you apply the Doctrine of Double Effect to the trolley problem?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Throwing someone into the tracks of an out of control trolley to stop it from running over five people would be wrong because it would require intentionally harming one person to save five. On the other hand, diverting the runaway trolley onto a path where one person will be killed, instead of five, would be admissible, as we may foresee that one death as an unintantional side effect.

Explanation:

The Doctrine of Double Effect, developed by St. Thomas Aquinas, allows us to better understand why we find it unacceptable to push a man onto the tracks: the good result must be a consequence of the action taken, not of the bad effect, so pulling the switch is better than pushing the man onto the tracks.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:Even though as a single father, Jerome is more likely to have home-work conflicts than Marie, the perception that family life is unlikely to interfere with men's job commitment may still make Jerome a more attractive candidate to employers.

Explanation:Usually kids are seen as the woman's responsibility and not as man's and that is based on what society has established as norms. So it is likely that even if a man has kids may still be considered more.

Answer:

A. The price would drop to 0.5.

Explanation:

The graph shows that for every increase of 100 units of the goods demanded, price reduces by 1 unit.

When 500 units was demanded, the price was at 1. Therefore, if 550 units are demanded, the price will reduce by half, which means the price would drop to 0.5.
