There is no objective answer to this question, as both sides have arguments that support their views.
If you believe that you are bound by Hobbes' argument, it is because of tacit consent. Tacit consent means that, even though you have not explicitly agreed to follow laws, you have indicated your agreement through other means, for example, by using the public services of the government or by remaining within the limits of your country. Also, you could argue that any rational person would prefer to follow the rules of the government than to live in the state of nature. Therefore, if you are rational, your consent is assumed. Finally, you could also argue that while you did not explicitly agreed, maybe your ancestors did, which still binds you as a member of the same society.
On the other hand, if you believe that you are not bound by Hobbes' argument, you could argue that any contract that is not freely agreed upon is not valid. As the government uses force to make you act according to the law, you cannot be considered to be freely consenting. Also, you can argue that agreeing to follow some rules does not imply following <em>all</em> of the laws of the country. Finally, a common argument against Hobbes is the lack of empirical data. As we do not know if the state of nature is actually bad, or if the contract ever happened, the government cannot gain its legitimacy in that way.
the answer is: d. by presenting the ideas of others
Cultural diffusion refers to a situation when the idea/characteristic of a certain culture is mixed with the idea/characteristic of another culture.
When media presenting the ideas of others, that idea would be heard and absorbed by a lot of people at the same time and potentially be implemented into their own culture. This would create a cultural diffusion.
Answer:
c. Going to the mall if that is what you liked best.
Explanation:
When evaluating the opportunity cost of any move or event we consider the alternate option that was not taken because the other opportunity was chosen ahead of it. Here, the action that was chosen was going to the movies and the opportunity cost of going to the movies would be what they liked or valued the most. Option c states that going to the mall if that is what you liked best and if they liked it best or most then it was most valued or preferred and therefore will be the opportunity cost of going to the movies.
