Stacks automatically display their contents in a fan or a grid based on the number of items in the stack. You Hardin in 1974.[1]

Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers. The "ethics" of the situation stem from the dilemma of whether (and under what circumstances) swimmers should be taken aboard the lifeboat.

Hardin compares the lifeboat metaphor to the Spaceship Earth model of resource distribution, which he criticizes by asserting that a spaceship would be directed by a single leader — a captain — which the Earth lacks. Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.

Lifeboat ethics is closely related to environmental ethics, utilitarianism, and issu

    In college it is a common sight to see students crowding a room on the first day to try to get a spot in a class that is a requirement to graduate, but most of them already know they might not be able to get a spot in the class. This phenomenon is an example of the idea of “lifeboat” ethics. Garrett Hardin, the writer of Lifeboat Ethics, said in his writings “So we sit here, say fifty people in our life boat... let us assume that it has room for ten more… [we] see one hundred others swimming in the water outside, begging for admission in to our boat...” (Hardin 415). Hardin’s Lifeboat Ethics is about the concept that we’re on a boat and we’re trying to decide who will get on the lifeboat and survive. Though we are not in the open sea, our…

    Hardin uses the metaphorical lifeboat in his essay to give his readers perspective of how limited the resources are on earth by reminding them how much limited space they have onboard the boat. He gives us a visual that only 60 people can be inside the boat at once, but if the capacity of people on the boat goes even one person over the full capacity limit, then the whole boat will buckle and no one will survive. But Hardin wants us to imagine that if there are 50 people in the boat, then how do those 50 people determine who they are going to let onto the boat? He…

    Of Couse a family need head with same noble qualities. In The Grapes of Wrath the family survival was much difficult in the wilderness of ‘Depression period’. The Joad family’s primary concern is survival in the ‘promised land’, for them the enemy was not only the nature but the authoritative Government too. Ma was head of the family at any cost tried to protect family unity. And she knows in the survival process more they need is unbroken family rather than money. Finally they made survival possible by collective effort. Here “collective effort” stands for Steinbeck’s ‘phalanx’ or ‘group man theory.’ Joads survival was possible because, which cost them loss of members like Grandparents (Granpa and Granma), two sons (Tom and Noah), and a still born baby of Sharon. Joad family survival takes other helps too like Wilson and his wife, Jim Casy, and a store keeper in the last cotton ranch and finally Mrs Wainwright.

The best deed of poor migrants is to help each other in their wilderness is clear out by Ma’s decision to save a starving old man.

    There is something mysterious about the reason why people feel the need to look out for one another. In some cases, it is like humans feel a certain obligation of compassion. The Grapes of Wrath encourages this part of human nature. During the Joad’s westbound journey, the characters were held face to face with people who needed help just as much as they did. In this way, John Steinback presents the question: how can we as humans support the livelihood of one another? His answer is that humans must support each other’s livelihood by providing what others are deprived of.…

    Through out John Steinbeck’s controversial novel, The Grapes of Wrath, the protagonist are faced with a daunting idea; that there is no ‘good’ and ‘bad’ forces in the world. Grapes of Wrath was published in an era filled with discrimination, hate, and fear directed at the fleeing “Okies”; in the early 1930’s the midwestern states where decimated by a foreseen but still devastating Dust Bowl. The reader joins the main characters, the Joad family, as they travel across the country hoping for work in a foreign state; California. Through out their trip they seem to come to believe that “there ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue” just people doing what people do. Yet the more they seem to believe this, the more the reader begins to see that there is in-fact a drastic flaw in their ideology. People do do horrible and good things, but those are what prove that Sin and Virtue do exist.…

    Grapes of Wrath

    Of all the injustices that are bestowed upon mankind, none are greater than the ones inflicted by our own species of apathy towards poverty and the hardships of our brothers. Mother nature also inflicts much damage to mankind in instances such as Hurricane Katrina. Steinbeck gives a view of human frailties and strengths from many different perspectives in The Grapes of Wrath, just as Josh Neufeld does in New Orleans After the Deluge. This book demonstrates how people can overcome destitution, team up to find solutions, and provide protection and security in times of trouble, similar to Aaron Ralston’s experience while trapped hiking. Steinbeck introduces people who are hard working and honest, that reach out selflessly with compassion towards others. However, not everyone reacts to austerity and oppression in the same way. Large groups of people can cause suspicion to outsiders. Ignorant people can be paralyzed by an incomprehensible fear of the unknown, and react with cruelty, prejudice, and hatred toward newcomers that are different from them. This irrational behavior can lead to unnecessarily violence and driving others to the ground, as well as becoming an alcoholic, which happened to Frank McCourt’s father in Angela’s Ashes. Depicted in this book is capitalism at its worst; landowners, corporations, and government officials exploit the poor and abuse the downtrodden.…

    When gazing among a crowd, the first instinct for people to do is judge each individual. Whether they are judging a person’s appearance, an action, or what they’ve heard. However, misconception blockades understanding how someone really is or what they go through. Empathy is also something that can be considered a way of walking in another’s shoes and having an idea of who they are as a person. The Story “ To Kill a Mockingbird” has provided a Character, Atticus Finch, as the father who educates his two Children, Jem and Scout, moral lessons. In the book and the play “To Kill a MockingBird” by Harper Lee, put emphasizes on the theme of putting yourself in other’s shoes or thinking as if it were from the other’s perspective.…

    There are a few things I would recommend in order to prevent lost documents, depending on one’s knowledge and personal preference would depend on which is chosen and easier for them. The first method, being the easiest, would be to create a folder on the desktop. It is easy to find and access that way. Another method would be to use the ‘My Documents’ folder in the users system folder. That too is generally easy and quick to find. The next method is the one I use. On the left side of the ‘Open’ menu there are ‘Quick access’ links, so depending on where one likes to save their documents, one can create a shortcut to the folder and drag it over to that list. In addition, if one is running Windows 7, there is a nice feature called ‘Libraries’ that allows the user to link folders for documents, music, videos, contacts and pictures. I think it is also in Vista but I did not know about it until I upgraded. Using this feature is also easy and allows the user to collaborate alike files in one place. One can even link networked folders to it for access if they use a server. I use this for my music- extremely helpful!…
