Answer and Explanation:
We are given 3 issues that affect different people differently on a large scale. These are Moral, Social, and Economic issues.
From the answer choices given,
The definition of a Moral Issue is the following:
If it is against the beliefs, behaviors, societal norms, and religious faith.
Examples of a moral issue are:
- Euthanasia
- Divorce
Moral deals with thinking about behaviors, practices, and beliefs in right or wrong situations, or believing what acceptable and not acceptable.
Euthanasia is the process of ending a patient's life without any pain when the patient is terminally ill. This is illegal in many countries and many people believe it is wrong and is an act of assisted self-murder.
Divorce is the act of legal separation between a married couple who don't want to be married anymore. People divorce for many reasons and, unless the marriage was harmful to one or both of the couple in the relationship, it is seen as wrong to divorce as the marriage was supposed to bring the two people together for the rest of their lives and be devoted and loving to each other.
The definition of a Societal Issue is the following:
If the problem affects many people in the society.
Examples of a societal issue are:
- Racism
- Alcoholism
Society is the people living together in a community, typically with shared values or customs.
Racism is the act of belittling and degrading someone based on their race. This is a big issue that has come a long way in today's society. Today, people are more accepting of others and don't treat each other based solely on what they look like and especially based on their race. Though, there are still people who don't think this way, and not just individuals but companies and even organizations such as universities or places to get a job.
Alcoholism is the drinking of an alcoholic beverage that results in degrading mental and physical health. People drink because they think it will help relieve them of their problems, they may like the taste, or their friends and family are drinking so they thought they should do it too to fit in. As mentioned before, drinking alcoholic beverages lead the person to serious health problems that could end up shortening their lifespan. This affects a majority of the population and isn't helped when there are bars and other places that sell and allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
The definition of an Economic Issue is the following:
If the problem relates to the scarcity of resources and unemployment.
Examples of an economic issue are:
- Oil price hike
- Inflation
The Economy is the total production, distribution, and trade a country manages, as well as the consumption of goods, resources, and services.
The Oil Price Hike means the price to gather the oil has increased (possibly due to a lack of or shortage of the resource), which in turn means the people have to pay more for the same oil since there is less of the resource. People might want to spend or buy less of the fuel so to conserve money and use it on other resources they need, which will negatively impact the economy.
Inflation is the rise in prices of goods and services in a nation. This means that the same dollar from decades ago can be worth less than today's dollar, making your buying power less as a result.
Have a great day!
