The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, also collectively known as the Civil War Amendments were designed to ensure equality for recently emancipated slaves. The 13th Amendment banned slavery and all involuntary servitude, except in the case of punishment for a crime.
The 14th Amendment guaranteed African Americans citizenship rights and promised that the federal government would enforce equal protection of the laws.
The 15th Amendment stated that no one could be denied the right to vote based on race, color or previous condition of servitude.
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!
Answer:
Due to addiction.
Explanation:
Captain Nixon continue drinking even though he has to hide his alcohol because he is addictive to drinking and can't resist to it. he does not get into trouble for his drinking because he is the highest authority on the ship and nobody can question him for his actions. If he is of lowering rank, then the higher authority on the ship can question him and can stop him from drinking alcohol on the duty. So that's why he continue drinking and not get into trouble for his drinking.
