[单项选择] Like other forms of life on this planet, human beings face a basic task: to deal satisfactorily with theft conflicts and thereby secure the advantages of community and cooperation.

The task of overcoming conflicts and achieving community life and cooperation arises because human beings are unable and unwilling to live in complete isolation.

[单项选择]Prolonging Human Life

Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether t
A. the need to enrich the life of the retired people
B. the need to prolong the lives of old people
C. the need to take care of a sick and weak people
D. the need to build profit-making nursing homes
