Consider two ways of protecting elephants from poachers in African countries. In one approach, the government sets up enormous national parks that have sufficient habitat for elephants to thrive and forbids all local people to enter the parks or to injure either the elephants or their habitat in any way. In a second approach, the government sets up national parks and designates 10 villages around the edges of the park as official tourist centers that become places where tourists can stay and bases for guided tours inside the national park. Consider the different incentives of local villagers—who often are very poor—in each of these plans. Which plan seems more likely to help the elephant population?

Utilitarianism holds that when resources and advantages are divided, it is ideal for society's overall enjoyment or well-being to be maximized. This theory contends that resources should be allocated to maximize overall utility while concentrating on the greatest good for the greatest number of people. The fact that it can have a beneficial impact on those around you makes this the most persuasive to me. According to utilitarianism, the best course of action is that which reduces pain or suffering while maximizing overall utility, which is typically associated with happiness, pleasure, or well-being. The focus on enhancing well-being to reach as many people as possible creates a change for more people Although there can be some conflicts and critics that come with it. I found it to be one of the most convincing theories. please help reply to this discussion postarrow_forwardWhat does rationalism mean within the context of political economy?arrow_forward

For example, its citizens were worried about the future of Opel, a German car brand that was part of the ailing General Motors. Some wanted the government to make sure jobs were saved no matter what. Others, however, were more hesitant and worried about becoming the government becoming too interventionist. Traditionally since the Second World War the German government has seen itself as a referee in market issues and has avoided trying to control parts of the economy. It would regulate anti-competitive behaviour, for example, but not try to run many industries. However in the recession of 2009 when the economy was shrinking the government was forced to spend more to stimulate demand and had to intervene heavily to save the banking sector from collapse. The government also had to offer aid to businesses to keep them alive.Questions1. What are the possible…arrow_forward
