The problem with the way Great Britain and France drew borders in the Middle East was that the borders were drawn to serve the interests of the British and the French and not the local conditions.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- The British Council had given the authority of drawing borders in the Middle East to one of their efficient administrative leaders named Mark Sykes.
- The French had given the same to George Picot who was himself a renowned statesman.
- These two authorized persons marked the boundaries of the Middle East without taking into consideration any opinions of the locals.
Answer:
Option b
Explanation:
According to the Labeling theory, the behavior of the people is identified and reflected by the ways people how they are being labeled by others.
This theory has its association with criminal sociology and deviance.
This theory reflects on the fact that the behavior of the people is influenced negatively by the ways that people label them as deviant.
Deviance can be defined as the behavior that results in the violation of the norms of the society social norms, and serves as a rule of adequate seriousness to warrant dissatisfaction from most of society.
Thus it follows that option B complies with the interpretation of the deviance.
This is the kind of concept a utilitarian would agree on. If the result is positive for a large group of people, we should seriously consider doing it.
However, I would like to comment on this concept. In my opinion (and that's what you're asking for) there are situations in which the ends don't justify the means. You can e.g. think about mass-bombings to fight against terrorism. However, the possibility exists that innocent people will be hit, and will die. Therefore, the end don't always justify the means (in my opinion).
