answer to Q 1 is C
Right.
1. When we claim that certain moral values or principles apply or should apply to all people, everywhere, we are saying that some values or principles are:
C. universal.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the different options given:
A. Descriptive: This term refers to describing or explaining what is or what exists. It does not pertain to the universality of moral values or principles.
B. Relative: This term implies that values or principles are dependent on cultural, societal, or individual factors. However, the question asks about values or principles that apply to all people everywhere, so relative values would not fit that criteria.
C. Universal: This term means that the values or principles apply to all people, regardless of cultural or societal differences. This option aligns with the question's requirement.
D. Pragmatic: This term refers to practicality or usefulness in achieving a goal. It is not directly related to the universality of moral values or principles.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. universal.
2. Which of the following actions, if committed by a law enforcement officer, would be considered “corruption of authority”?
D. All of the above.
To determine the correct answer, let's examine each option:
A. Stealing money from crime victims: This action clearly involves abusing the authority of a law enforcement officer and would be considered corruption.
B. Accepting free meals for doing one's regular duty: Depending on the circumstances, accepting free meals could be seen as a minor ethical lapse but not necessarily corruption of authority. If the free meals were given with an expectation of special treatment or as a bribe, then it would be considered corrupt.
C. Selling drugs and burglarizing businesses: These actions are illegal and highly unethical. They clearly show corruption of authority.
D. All of the above: The correct answer is D because all the actions mentioned would be considered "corruption of authority" if committed by a law enforcement officer.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. All of the above.
