    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…

    Discussions about the lifeboat are influenced strongly by how the question is posed. Be sure to allow room for solutions that maximize fairness (i.e. drawing straws) by asking students to focus on how they are making their decision. Students often default to solutions that are outcome-based. It is useful to be able to show that there are other approaches that can be applied. Although the lifeboat…

    What would you do if you, your child, and your spouse were prepared to get on a lifeboat, but were then told sorry you can’t get on together, or “Sorry there are no more lifeboats.” There were not enough lifeboats, so there was no way for all the passengers to survive (Role, 5). There were only 20 lifeboats that fit a maximum of about 53 people, so only about 1,060 passengers could survive. There were approximately 2,211 passengers aboard the Titanic (Role, 3). One positive thing about the Titanic is that they had more than enough life vest. They had a total of 3,500 life vest (Role, 5). Women and children were to get on the lifeboats first, but in this order-1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class, lastly crew members. This is why more 1st class passengers survived than 3rd class and crew members. Through all this, the end result is that rules are now established that all ships are required to follow to protect and insure that all passengers have an equal opportunity to survive.…

They state that corporate social responsibility has been a cornerstone of their business right from the Partnership's establishment. The shops target market is middle and upper-class shoppers although they do offer a value and an essential range. The partnership is employee owned (these employees are often called members or partners) and so they state that their purpose is “the happiness of all our members, through their worthwhile, satisfying employment in a successful business”…
