im confused between A or D
I agree with your first answer, but not your second answer.
1. Yes, you are correct. The ethical framework that suggests that morality should be linked to human nature, including a concern for human dignity and universal human rights, is D. Natural law.
2. The correct answer is A. If the similarity-leniency hypothesis were true, white jurors would be more likely to favor minority defendants.
1. The answer to the first question is D. Natural law. To arrive at this answer, one must understand the concepts of different ethical frameworks and analyze which one aligns with the provided description. Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall happiness or utility, not necessarily linked to human nature or rights. Ethical egoism prioritizes the individual's self-interest rather than considering universal rights. Social hedonism emphasizes pleasure and gratification, again not deeply connected to human dignity or rights. On the other hand, natural law suggests that morality should be based on human nature, including concern for human dignity and universal human rights. By understanding the key principles of each ethical framework, one can correctly choose option D as the answer.
2. The answer to the second question is A. White jurors would be more likely to favor minority defendants. To determine the correct answer, let's consider the similarity-leniency hypothesis, which suggests that people perceive others similar to themselves more positively and tend to be more lenient towards them. Based on this hypothesis, if white jurors perceive minority defendants as similar to themselves, they are more likely to show leniency. Therefore, option A accurately reflects the likely outcome if the similarity-leniency hypothesis is true. Option D, "All of the above," is not necessarily true because the hypothesis specifically focuses on the leniency shown by white jurors towards minority defendants.
