Introduction
Social contract theorists say that morality consists of a set of rules governing how people should treat one another that rational beings will agree to accept for their mutual benefit, on the condition that others agree to follow these rules as well.

Hobbes runs the logic like this in the form of a logical syllogism:

1. We are all self-interested.
2. Each of us needs to have a peaceful and cooperative social order to pursue our interests.
3. We need moral rules in order to establish and maintain a cooperative social order.
4. Therefore, self-interest motivates us to establish moral rules.

Hobbes looked to the past to observe a primitive “State of Nature” in which there is no such thing as morality, and that this self-interested human nature was “nasty, brutish, and short” – a kind of perpetual state of warfare. 

Locke disagreed, and set forth the view that the state exists to preserve the natural rights of its citizens. When governments fail in that task, citizens have the right – and sometimes the duty – to withdraw their support and even to rebel. Locke addressed Hobbes’s claim that the state of nature was the state of war, though he attribute this claim to “some men” not to Hobbes. He refuted it by pointing to existing and real historical examples of people in a state of nature. For this purpose he regarded any people who are not subject to a common judge to resolve disputes, people who may legitimately take action themselves to punish wrong doers, as in a state of nature.

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address the following:

• Which philosophy do you espouse?
• How much authority should be granted to governments (e.g., the right to kill (death penalty/capital punishment/use of deadly force)? How much would you give up in return for safety?
• If you side with Hobbes, do you support at any point recourse if the government violates its own contract (if so, you probably have a bit of Locke in your thinking)?

Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.

Writing Requirements

• Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up)
• Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)

Due Date for Initial Post: By 11:59 p.m. MT on Wednesday

 

The Law of Demand states that the demand for a product is inversely  related to the price of such product. Therefore, the demand for a  product is considered downward sloping. This implies that quantity  demanded increases when price decreases. Is this always true?

In your answer, provide at least three examples of products for which  quantity demanded remains unchanged regardless of a change in price.  Also, provide at least three examples of products for which quantity  demanded increases in response to an increase in price.  Also, include a discussion of the factors of demand that may account  for such examples and justify your conclusions.

By the due date assigned, post your initial discussion response in the Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, read all of the other students’ postings, and post comments in the Discussion Area on at least two other responses.

What I want you to do: Choose an activity from below. Then, complete an activity report and reflect on your applied practice.

Choose ONE:

1. Read the full American Red Cross evaluation report, below. Compare this report to Box 15.3 on page 398 of your textbook. Replicate Box 15.3 in your textbook, and check-off which of the 23 elements (goals, purpose, limitations, etc) are present in the report. Then, in paragraph form, discuss which elements were done well, which ones require more detail, and which ones were missing. Be specific and detailed regarding all 23 elements listed in Box 15.3. Evaluation of the Health Impact of the American Red Cross- Sponsored Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Reconstruction Program in Communities Affected by Hurricane Mitch

2. Conduct a web search and find your own health promotion evaluation report, similar to the one written by the American Red Cross. Compare this report to Box 15.3 on page 398 of your textbook. Replicate Box 15.3 in your textbook, and check-off which of the 23 elements (goals, purpose, limitations, etc) are present in the report of your choice. Then, in paragraph form, discuss which elements were done well, which ones require more detail, and which ones were missing. Be specific and detailed regarding all 23 elements listed in Box 15.3. Attach the Evaluation Report to your Activity Report and cite in APA style.
