Right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. so A,C,D. I think pleasure counts as in as happiness
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago

Correct answers are:

  • A) People have the right to the pursuit of pleasure. <em> (Assuming "pleasure" can be used as a synonym for "happiness" -- Jefferson's actual word used. See my explanation note below.</em>)
  • B) People have the right to life.
  • D) People have the right to liberty.

Explanation:

The specific thoughts from the Declaration of Independence are stated like this:  <em>"</em><em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain </em><u><em>unalienable Rights</em></u><em>, that </em><u><em>among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness</em></u><em>.</em><em>"</em>

Thomas Jefferson's thoughts in the Declaration of Independence borrow from the political philosophy of John Locke, who wrote in 1689 that "all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his Life, Health, Liberty, or Possessions."

In either Locke's words or Jefferson's, the idea of "pleasure" isn't really the terminology used.  When Jefferson wrote of the "pursuit of happiness," he had in mind the security of possessions, health, and livelihood - similar to Locke's thoughts.  So it depends on what your teacher is looking for as far as whether answer A is considered correct or not.

The top 20% percent of U.S. households receive approximately 86% of the total U.S. Income.

Explanation:

The reason that the top 20% percent of U.S. households receive approximately 86% of the total U.S. Income is that the wage divide is effected and kept up by the institutional laws and the way american businesses work.

There is not enough incentive on healthcare and welfare schemes which keeps the poor of the country poor while the rich and the upper middle class are designed to not fall off from their stature with better bankruptcy laws and pardons.

What is the problem with people addicted to their cellphones and what is the solution for it?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The problem is people have dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical that wants you to have pleasure. Cell phones give pleasure. So people want more time with cell phones.

Explanation:

There is no solution. I believe there is not enough time during your life to have restrictions with cell phones. Do what you want to do during your short life.
