If everybody thinks that telling certain types of jokes (for example, sexist or racist jokes) is all right, can we do it?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
If everybody thinks that telling certain types of jokes (for example, sexist or racist jokes) is all right, it does not make it morally acceptable or appropriate to do so. The perception or belief of a group of people does not determine the ethical or moral implications of an action. Just because a majority of people may find certain jokes acceptable does not justify their use, as these types of jokes perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to discrimination and inequality. Therefore, the correct answer is no, we should not engage in telling such jokes.Rate this question:

If the majority of us like certain pictures (for example, nude pin-ups) on the walls, is that all right?

Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
The answer "No" suggests that it is not alright for the majority of us to like certain pictures, such as nude pin-ups, on the walls. This implies that there may be ethical or moral concerns associated with displaying such images, even if they are liked by the majority. It could be argued that the majority's preferences should not override the potential harm or discomfort caused to others who may find such images offensive or objectifying.Rate this question:
