This seems to be the condition for helping other countries in humanitarian matters. Unless people believe there is a direct threat to their own country or that giving help will take little effort, it is very difficult to get a large number of people to support intervention in another country.

This statement seems vague. There are more reports of drug use, but are there more reports of drug-related harm also? The increased reports in drug use in Portugal could also be a result of people being more open about using drugs since they no longer have to fear going to prison instead of more people using drugs.

The change in goals form spreading coverage as widely as possible to targeting only those who would be low risk hurt commercial insurers instead of helping them. Because only healthy people were targeted, many people who qualified for health insurance did not see it as worthwhile and did not buy it, requiring the cost to increase for those who still had insurance to cover the lost customers.

This is the strength of how accountable autonomy is supposed to function. It balances a highly centralized rule where many people or groups do not have their interests heard and decentralized rule where small factions can easily gain control and ignore the interests of others. Finding a right balance between the two extremes would decrease their respective weaknesses, allowing more representation of people's interests.

This illustrates the idea that people take shortcuts when making political decisions. Most voters will not look into the arguments for a candidate's stance on issues with detail but will have their opinions shaped at least partially by their preconceptions of the party.

The length of this study allows the study of the cases to be conclusive. Without seeing the people in their advanced years, the researchers can only guess what factors are related to successful aging.

The parents who picked up their kids late before the fine was imposed would come later after the fine because they would pay the same amount for being 5 minutes late as for being 20 minutes late. If people are going to be punished equally for actions of different degrees, they will often not care about a greater offense because the punishment will be the same.

This refers to the idea of a universal moral grammar, where people have ideas about whether or not certain things are moral that exist across cultural and religious differences.

While more advanced medical equipment would help deal with many issues new mothers face in delivery, help from people with actual training to help with deliveries would prevent several of the complications faced by new mothers giving birth.

Does that mean that moral inclinations are more influenced by cultural exposure than biological factors? How do chemical processes such as brain activity work with external forces to shape a person's morality?
