Problem
Assume you are shipwrecked. There are ten of you in a lifeboat; you know that it will take ten days to reach shore and that there are only rations for ten man-days. (The ration is the minimum amount needed for survival.) How would a utilitarian allocate the rations? How would a Rawlsian? Some people think that even Rawlsian criteria are not sufficiently egalitarian. What might an extreme egalitarian individual advocate? What does Pareto efficiency require? In each case, state what assumptions you need to make to make the decision.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
