Answer: C. Legalism
Explanation: According to this doctrine, human nature as such is prone to make mistakes and negligence in adhering to some general moral principles, so it requires strong regulatory coercion. This coercion should control human behaviour through various regulations, punishments, strong rulers, in a word, for people to obey legal laws, that is, to abide by legalism. The reason for such an understanding of human nature is that humans are guided by their own self-interest and as such will always do bad rather than good. This doctrine was promoted in ancient China by rulers of the Qin and Han dynasties to justify the rule of their authoritarian rulers.
Answer:
The given claim: "The good depends on the results of what you do." which refers to the concept of Consequentialism.
Explanation:
Consequentialism:
It is such a philosophy that is based on the following principles:
- The act may be considered good or bad depending upon its good or bad results.
- The more good results an act produce, the more right will be the act.
- The problem with the given claim is that the person who follow this theory can say that: It is good to murder a X person as this X person is dangerous for some 50 people. Because this act of murdering is giving relief to 50 people so the murder of a single person is justifiable.
Answer:
The best answer seems to be letter B. An individual often perceives the same concept or idea differently from another.
Explanation:
According to the quote by Van Morrison, a famous person's perception of himself is different than other people's perception of him. That simply means that different people, different individuals, can perceive the same idea in a contrasting manner to others. It may very well be that Van Morrison himself didn't wake up thinking he was famous, but that other famous people do. It all depends on their perception. Another example still related to fame is the way some people perceive it as good while others as bad. Those who see fame as a bad thing treasure their privacy and personal life. They value solitude and quietness. Those who see it as good desire the paparazzi, the flashes, the questions, even the intrusions. From their perception, all of that means they are important, loved, admired.
