The actions of the lifeguard were motivated by his internal values. In the given scenario, the lifeguard is at the of moral development. a. postconventional level b. self-interest level c. preconventional level d. conventional level

A. postconventional level

Explanation:

In the postconventional stage of morality (the final stage of moral development), the person has found, by own experience and judgement, a series of abstract, general, moral principles, that he or she applies whether they coincide with social conventions or not.

In the case of the lifeguard, the social convention is to respect the orders of his boss, and only do what he is allowed to do in his job. However, in his individual, abstract reasoning, saving a person's life is more important than keeping his job, therefore, he decides to disobey his boss, save the man's life, and assume the consequences.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
