eplicants. Suppose that no test (either objective or subjectively introspective) could show this for sure. Would that mean that a given replicant was indeed fully human?

Answer:

Yes, because from the movie, it appears that we cannot so easily delineate what it is and what it isn’t to be human, except through testing (which would be scientific in approach

Explanation:

Blade Runner is a movie which is an adaptation of a science fiction novel by Phillip K.D titled "Do Andrôids Dream of Electric Sheep?" set in the year 2019.

Blade Runner’s most philosophically questions centered around what it means to be human, how do we define ourselves as humans? Do we define ourselves solely on the biological characteristics, or is there something more that makes a human?

Hence, from the movie, the replicants shows most of the characteristics of human, especially in intelligence and empathy, but not biologically.

Therefore, it can be concluded that, we cannot so easily separate what it is and what it is not to be human, except through testing (which would be scientific in approach).

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The correct answer is B. The looking-glass self

Explanation:

In sociology, the term "looking-glass self" refers to the perceptions and ideas an individual have in reference to the way other people sees him or her or the way individual believes he/she appear o others. This term was first proposed by Charles Horton Cooley in 1902 and also implies the way behavior is modified according to the ideas individuals have over their own perception. This can be seen in the case of Paco who knows the way others perceive him and also he lets these ideas shape his behavior as he decides to dye his hair and wear certain clothes to preserve the ideas he believes other people have about him. Therefore, Paco's behavior can be best explained by the concept of the looking-glass self.
