Zorluk: KolayApplication of Principles

Match each normative principle with the specific factual scenario that best illustrates its application.

  • An action is morally acceptable if its primary intent is to help others, even if it violates a minor administrative rule.A receptionist ignores a strict office policy against personal visitors to allow a lost, crying child to wait inside the lobby until police arrive.
  • A business must prioritize the physical safety of its employees over the maximization of short-term financial gains.A factory manager halts the production line to repair a malfunctioning ventilation system, deliberately missing a major deadline and losing a lucrative contract.
  • Individuals are morally responsible for harm they cause only if they could have reasonably foreseen that harm.A construction worker who accidentally drops a wrench that bounces off a passing truck and shatters a window two blocks away is not held liable because the trajectory was entirely unpredictable.
  • One is obligated to keep a promise unless fulfilling it would result in severe physical injury.A contractor backs out of a binding agreement to renovate a house because a newly discovered structural flaw means continuing the work would risk a roof collapse.

Cevap

Principle 1 matches the receptionist helping a child; Principle 2 matches the manager repairing ventilation; Principle 3 matches the worker dropping the wrench; Principle 4 matches the contractor avoiding a roof collapse.
Each correct pairing links a generalized normative rule to a specific factual scenario that explicitly fulfills all the conditions of that rule. The manager sacrifices profit for safety; the contractor breaks a promise to avoid injury; the receptionist breaks a rule to help a child; and the worker is excused from liability because the harm was unforeseeable.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first principle regarding helping others and breaking administrative rules.
Identified the receptionist scenario, where a strict office policy is broken to shelter a lost child.
This is the only scenario that features both an administrative rule violation and an altruistic primary intent.
2
Analyze the second principle regarding business safety versus financial gains.
Identified the factory manager scenario, where a lucrative contract is lost to fix a dangerous ventilation issue.
This perfectly embodies the trade-off between employee safety (ventilation) and short-term profit (the contract).
3
Analyze the third principle regarding responsibility and foreseeable harm.
Identified the construction worker scenario, where damage was caused but the outcome was entirely unpredictable.
This aligns with the necessary condition of reasonable foreseeability to establish moral responsibility.
4
Analyze the fourth principle regarding breaking a promise to avoid injury.
Identified the contractor scenario, where a binding agreement is broken due to the risk of a roof collapse.
A binding agreement is a formal promise, and a roof collapse clearly satisfies the 'severe physical injury' exception.
