Expert Solution

When considering a tale by someone else, there are two aspects that play a major role. Moral subjectivism and cultural relativism. Cultural relativism could be referred to as the ethical standards that propagate in a given culture or a society and continue to exists as moral standards within that society.
whereas, the other would be moral subjectivism. Through moral subjectivism, it could be understood that ethics or standards exist according to an individual and are shaped by the personal choices of the individual.

when considering a tale narrated by someone of a different cultural background, it is important to understand that the ethical standards that I have been brought up with or the moral standards that propagate in my society, maybe much different that what propagates in the other person's society. Their basis at looking at things, their conditioning throughout life might be much different than what I have had, and hence, the motivation that makes a person carry out a particular action would be different.

So when one tells a tale, the most we could do is not judge by the the difference in their approach, but try to consider where they are coming from.

How would an organism be able to survive these conditions on another planet? Please explain. Thermodynamics - the temperature is around 233.15 K (-40 F) Acquiring energy - receives about 70% of the sunlight that Earth receives from the Sun Gravity - increase of gravity of 30% compared to Earth. However,more gravity means greenhouse effects increase the overall heat of the planet. Circular orbit - seasonal changes in climate would be minimal.
