According to the American philosopher Tom Regan, moral disagreements can not be resolved by statistics. Even though, the author expresses that statistics help to portrait what the majority believes or thinks is right or is wrong, and that this fact is useful because what a number of people think will have more impact than what one only person thinks. This is not the same as to say that because there is a majority of people that believe certain point is wrong or right, make it in fact, wrong or right. Statistics do not help to solve the moral disagreement, because they do not produce any reason behind that moral disagreement.
On the same note, confiding the solution to this conflicts to a moral authority is not only incorrect but it is also dangerous. Moral authority, as Regan writes, is often put to a God. With this approach, the first problem that arises is the fact that the notion of a God is not scientifically proven, therefore some people would not agree that a God is, in fact, a moral authority.
The second problem with God as a moral authority, is that even in the case that the God is accepted as real by everyone, whatever conclusion that the God gives to the audience as the resolution of the conflict, can be misinterpreted by the masses, and therefore altered into something that it is not.
The solution to a moral disagreement has to come from the individuals that are having the disagreement, and the method they use has to be a result of their own illumination and as an independent thought, not directly connected to statistics of a moral authority.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Leonard gave a speech about buying a house. He was sure to use vivid language and help the audience feel as though they were going through the process. This would most likely be considered which type of informative speech?
A. definition
B. demonstration
C. description
Answer:
The correct answer is letter C. description.
Explanation:
We can reach the conclusion that letter C is the best option by elimination. As we know, an informative speech, as the name suggests, aims to inform the audience about a certain topic. There are, however, at least three types of informative speeches.
A definition speech would explain the topic by defining what it is, its meaning, theory, or philosophy. A demonstration speech would explain how to do something, basically teaching the audience the step-by-step. Since it demonstrates, visual aid is used to help the audience visualize and understand the step. What Leonard did does not fit in any of those two definitions. We are left with a descriptive speech, the one that uses description to create a vivid picture in the audience's mind. Leonard wants his audience to feel as if they are really going through the process of buying a house. He most likely used sentences such as, "Imagine you and your spouse are sitting across from a bank manager...".
The population of Europe was growing again, after the ravage of the Black Death, and with the concentration of money derived from the reduction of the population, they were becoming more ambitious with explorations and ventures into the Atlantic sea.

Answer: the answer is conservation
Explanation:
Jane’s teacher has two glasses filled with 8 oz of juice. She pours one glass into a short, wide vase and the other glass into tall, skinny vase. Although both vases contain 8 oz of juice, Jane believes the tall, skinny vase contains "more". This is an example of conservation because Jane believed in the principle by which the total value of a physical quantity remains constant in a system which is not subject to external influence due to humans interest in natural things
