Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) was a Spanish colonizer and conqueror, who leaded the conquest of the Mexican territories, that started in 1519 with the occupation of Veracruz. The tales about the sacking of the Mexican capital, Tenochtitlan, are still legendary nowadays.
After the takeover of Veracruz, Cortes gave the order of sinking his own ships (it was thought they were burnt, but nowadays that hypothesis is being questioned). Anyway, he destroyed his ships on purpouse to force his men to go forward and conquer the New World, both in the militar and spiritual (goal of spreading the Christian religion) dimensions.
- Agreement with his decision: of course it is an incredibly effective manner of ensuring that his men would be motivated to conquer the territory, mainly because they did not have an alternative choice. They had to become rulers there or be lost in the middle of unknown lands. It can be claimed how the ultimate goal justifies the means.
- Disagreement with the decision: it can be argued how unethical is that he prevented his men from deciding if they wanted to participate or not on the mission. He eliminated the choice.
The black codes made the south have difficulties improving there economic conditions because african americans were in large numbers during that time (previous slaves) however they were not allowed to hold many of the jobs that were needed to help the South become productive.

Answer: c. younger workers pay taxes that cover pensions, retirement, and healthcare for elderly people.
Explanation:
The younger generation are the working age population. Because they have jobs, they can be taxed for the benefit of society. Their taxes go towards many social programs including pensions, retirement benefits and healthcare for the elderly.
If the population is aging, it means that there would be more elderly people. Elderly people no longer work and so cannot be taxed as much to provide the aforementioned benefits so an aging population presents a problem to their welfare.
