what if violation of the civil rights of a minority increases the sum total of pleasure pf the majority?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The question that you have posed is rather interesting. However, it indicates a misunderstanding of the nature of civil/human rights as they are currently framed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key thing to recall is that human and civil rights are, for the most part, individual rights, as opposed to group/societal rights. See, for example, the USA Bill of Rights, European Convention on Human Rights, Universal Declaration, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Therefore, there is no greater societal sum equation to assess when looking at high rights. Indeed, individuals from minorities are often given special protections within human rights treaties/regimes.

However, it should not be forgotten that many rights are not inalienable, for example the right to family life, or freedom of expression. In these instances the right may be legitimately violated, if, on balance it is required to protect another individuals human right (note that it's individual as opposed to societal), or if it is deemed proportionate to violate that right (eg, to detain an individual because they have breached a provision of criminal law). But, it must be noted that this has nothing to do with minorities or majorities.

The often cited reason for this formulation is that the majority of the human rights treaties mentioned above emerged following the atrocities of the Second World War. In this regard, it must be recalled that one of the underlying philosophical beliefs of he Nazi regime related to the greater good of society, with it being perfectly permissible to violate the rights of one in order to further the welfare of others.

on their first day, researchers explore a part of the ocean floor that is 60 feet below sea level. This depth can be represented by the integer -60. On their secon dive, researchers explore a deeper depth.
Write an inequality that represents the possible depth, d, of the researchers' second dive.

Answers

Answer:

d < - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Depth, d of ocean floor on first dive = 60 feets below sea level = - 60

Depth, d explored on second dive is deeper than that of fist dive

Hence, possible depth, d, explored on second dive can be represented by the inequality ;

d < - 60

2.Given

A total of 234 tickets were given away

5 times as many tickets were given away to listeners compared to employees

-Call the number of tickets given away to employees (x)

3. Form an equation

(Tickets_given_to_employees) + (Tickets_given_to_listeners) = (Total_tickets)

Substitute,

x + 5x = 234

Also when you graph it, it does not become a line. I can attach an image for evidence (Credits to other person who answered and commented on my answer thanks for finding my mistake.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x=−12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x=−12

x=−4

Answer: Tyler's work is incorrect because when subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, he didn't subtract it from -4. If he subtracted 8 from -4, it would've been 3x=-12.

The correct answer is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

you get x = -4 by subtracting 8 from each side of the equation, resulting in 3x = -12

then you divide both sides by 3, leaving you with x = -4

-    /   -     =   1  -

1       1              3

Answer:

How many yards to make one dress?  = 1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio problem (fractions) used to solve an unknown.

if 200yds makes 150 dresses then let x (your unknown) be the yds needed  to make 1 dress.

200/150 = x/1

150*x = 200*1

150x = 200

150x/150 = 200/150

x = 200/150  

x = 1.33333

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

At least 30 miles but less than 50 miles each week.

Required inequality:

30 ≤ x < 50

In 4 weeks:

120 ≤ 4x < 200Part B"At least" means equal or more than 30, hence 30 ≤ xLess than 50, hence x < 50Part C

At least 8 but no more than 12 gallons of gas each week, with the cost $2.25 to $2.50 per gallon.

Match the lowest and highest ends. This is converted as:

8*$2.25 ≤ m ≤ 12*$2.50

Simplified:

$18 ≤ m ≤ $30

you have a pie with 6 pieces and you eat 2. what fraction is that?​

Answers

Answer:

1/3 is eaten and 2/3 is left

Step-by-step explanation:

Say instead you cut the pizza into smaller pieces. How about cutting the whole pizza pie into 12 equal pieces? Each of five people takes one piece or 1/12 of the pie. Each piece is very small, much smaller than 1/6 of the pie or 1/4 of the pie. 5 of the 12 pieces or as a fraction 5/12 are gone. How many are left? 12 pieces minus 5 pizza slices equals 7 pieces left. Now 7 of 12 pieces pizza are left in your pie; that can be written as a fraction, too: 7/12.

The total age of 5 children aged 3 years is 50 years. Find the age of the youngest and oldest child?​

Answers

Given:

Consider the total age of 5 children with age difference 3 years is 50 years.

To find:

The age of the youngest and oldest child.

Solution:

Let the ages of the 5 children are x-6, x-3, x, x+3, x+6.

Sum of their ages is 50 years.

[tex](x-6)+(x-3)+x+(x+3)+(x+6)=50[/tex]

[tex]5x=50[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{50}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x=10[/tex]

The age of the youngest child is

[tex]10-6=4[/tex]

The age of the oldest child is

[tex]10+6=16[/tex]

Therefore, the age of youngest child is 4 years and the age of the oldest child is 16 years.
