(1) a social dilemma is a situation in which the most rewarding short-term choice for an individual will ultimately lead to negative outcomes for all concerned. (2) for example, as you hike along a beautiful mountain trail, you stop for a snack. (3) you are tempted to throw away your empty water containers and granola bar wrappers, knowing that your backpack will be lighter if you don’t have to carry your trash to the top of the mountain and back. (4) but you hesitate, knowing that if all hikers litter the trail, it will soon be unpleasant for all who use it. (5) or consider the situation of many communities in the southwest that have suffered severe drought for years, so that water conservation is essential. (6) individuals living in such drought-stricken areas face personal decisions.

In this text, the author explains to us the meaning of a social dilemma. We learn that a social dilemma occurs when an individual decision that is positive for the person carries negative outcomes for society at large. In this example, the person in question enjoys long showers. However, he lives in an area that suffers from droughts. Therefore, by having long showers, others might have less water available. Therefore, this is an example of a social dilemma.

idk but i did find this

explanation:

in the story of the cowardly lion and the hungry tiger, we first see the two characters inside the empty throne room of ozma, bored and sadly very much aware of their uselessness as guardians. they talked about the good old days when they used to be feared. they proceeded to make up stories of how fearsome they were. the cowardly lion professed that he can tear men/women into pieces, while the hungry tiger said he would eat fat babies. but when they proceeded to act upon their words they were forced to realize that they were indeed harmless and good animals who would rather be called cowardly and hungry than harm a woman or eat a child.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
