Question

Philosophers draw a distinction between positive statements, which describe the world asit is, and ___________________s, which describe how the world should be.

A. normative statement
B. budget constraint
C. trade-of
D. opportunity cost

Answer 1

Normative statement

Step-by-step explanation:

A normative comment makes a conclusion on meaning. Such a decision is the presenter's viewpoint; nobody can "confirm" whether or not the comment is true. Since individuals have different principles, ethical pronouncements also create discord.

An economist whose beliefs allow him to claim that we ought to provide more help to the needy will compete with one whose ideals contribute to a determination that we ought not.

It is not uncommon for people to present an argument as constructive, to render it more compelling for an audience when it already has negative elements. Sources of this are opinion pieces in magazines or on other outlets. That is why it is critical that we can distinguish among constructive and negative statements.
