What does hypothetical mean? (Like a hypothetical situation?)?
A hypothetical situation means it didn't really occur. The speaker was using an example, but it didn't really happen. For example, someone asks you a hypothetical question such as "What would you do if you won a million bucks?", you could answer, but the event didn't really happen. Unless you actually have won a million bucks!
What does hypothetical situation mean?
its a situation that might not or didnt happen but you are using as an example. Like, if someone asked what you would do if they insulted you that would be a hypothetical situation because they are just seeing what would happen if they did that they might not really do it
What is a "hypothetical situation"?
Hypothetically - regardless of science or even common sense imagine this scenarioIt's just a easy way to stop all the - But you can't But you don't have oneIt's scientifically impossibleWhy would you want to do thatThose types of argumentsIf I say "if you hypothetically created a time maching where(when) would you want to go?"I'm fully aware having a time machine isn't possible(to my knowledge), but I'm asking for my own curiosity what would you do if you had one regardless of it is realistic or even remotely possible.This allows us to gain wonderful insight from other people on a almost infinite amount if scenarios which don't benefit anyone really besides quenching the curiosity of people, maybe making a few people laugh and the best is giving people some information(like having an ant sized nuclear bomb being impossible but fairly deadly if created).
What's the best example of a hypothetical situation that is also a moral dillema?
A hypothetical moral dilemma presented by Bernard Williams:“Jim finds himself in the central square of a small South American town. Tied up against the wall are a row of twenty Indians, most terrified, a few defiant, in front of them several armed men in uniform. A heavy man in a sweat-stained khaki shirt turns out to be the captain in charge and, after a good deal of questioning of Jim which establishes that he got there by accident while on a botanical expedition, explains that the Indians are a random group of the inhabitants who, after recent acts of protest against the government, are just about to be killed to remind other possible protestors of the advantages of not protesting. However, since Jim is an honoured visitor from another land, the captain is happy to offer him a guest’s privilege of killing one of the Indians himself. If Jim accepts, then as a special mark of the occasion, the other Indians will be let off. Of course, if Jim refuses, then there is no special occasion, and Pedro here will do what he was about to do when Jim arrived, and kill them all. Jim, with some desperate recollection of schoolboy fiction, wonders whether if he got hold of a gun, he could hold the captain, Pedro and the rest of the soldiers to threat, but it is quite clear from the set-up that nothing of the sort is going to work: any attempt at that sort of thing will mean that all the Indians will be killed, and himself. The men against the wall, and the other villagers understand the situation, and are obviously begging him to accept. What should he do?”So, in this hypothetical scenario, we can suggest that Jim kills the one indian, therefore saving the other indians? Or Jim can choose not to kill an indian, in which they will all be killed.Should Jim refuse to commit an act of murder?Or...Should Jim commit murder in order to save the other indians? I'll leave that up to you.
Do you like making hypothetical situations which would actually be terrible if they were real?
You just described fiction: Come up with a hypothetical situation, think about how people (your characters) would react, and write about it.That's the heart of storytelling, and storytelling is an essential part of human existence. We're constantly listening to stories and telling each other tales. In antiquity and for most of human history, stories were told by the hearth or the campfire. Later we developed written language and books, then radio, TV, and so on.You can't write a story without human drama, and you can't create human drama unless there's some terrible situation, or personal setback for the character. Stories would be very boring without conflict.
Consider the following hypothetical situation: ------>?
----->Consider the following hypothetical situation: Your school has recently experienced a wave of break-ins to students' lockers. In most cases, the perpetrator was able to open the locker because its owner forgot to lock it properly. To deal with the problem, the school principal institutes a new rule requiring students to get a key from a teacher or janitor every time they want to open their locker. Do you think that the principal's new rule will help prevent locker break-ins? Why? What are other possible consequences of this new regulation? Will the costs of the regulation outweigh the benefits? Why? What are some other possible solutions to this problem that might be more efficient? I need 2 paragraphs of what you ya w.e jus do it ull get 10 points from my other user.
Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
We need them like a cuttlefish needs metaphors and rhetorical questions, don’t we?
