Answer:

While I can't provide a direct answer I can provide aid.

Explanation:

The lifeboat in this metaphor is that in order for a lifeboat to keep itself sailing it needs teamwork, all of the people on the boat must work together in order to keep the boat afloat.

while,

The spaceship requires one commander. This commander keeps the spaceship in operation, their crew needs a leader in order to keep the spaceship intact.

simple terms: lifeboats require teamwork, spaceship requires a singular leader for guidance. Which is what they lack.

Why should the announcement of a third supply intake for Las Vegas water cause concern?
Sliva [168]

This question is about "Las Vegas Completing Last Straw to Draw Lake Mead Water"

Answer:

The announcement is of concern because it includes drilling activities on the ground, which can cause geological problems that cause unexpected and bad results for Las Vegas and the surrounding region.

Explanation:

It is a fact that the supply of drinking water in Las vegas and surrounding areas is a concern that deserves attention. To address these problems, several supply strategies have been established, however, the third water supply, which is what was discussed in the article, is the one that is of most concern because it involves excavation activities at meters and meters deep.

As we know, excavation activities are dangerous, as they can not only generate geological problems, but also awaken existing problems that will cause more problems to the population.

In this quote, and in the entire essay, what is Swift saying about the view and value of personhood in his society? Is there any
Snezhnost [94]

According to a different source, this question refers to the essay "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

Although we do not know what the quote you are referencing is, we are able to explain the claims that Swift makes throughout the entire essay.

In this essay, Swift makes a commentary about the view and value of personhood in his society. In this essay, he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children to wealthy English people in order for them to be eaten. Although the claim is absurd, what Swift wants to convey is that people value the lives of the poor, as well as the lives of the Irish, as less important than the lives of rich English people. In his society, such prejudice prevents people from valuing all lives equally.

This essay continues to be relevant today. Nowadays, we still believe some people are less worthy than others. For example, we care deeply about celebrities dying, but we do not care much about the hundreds of people who die from war or poverty everyday. As a society, the poor, the elderly, and foreigners are often seen as "less worthy" because of our prejudice. This view is also influenced by values in society pushed by the media, such as the celebration and admiration of extremely wealthy people.
