4. pass worker health

and safety laws

Explanation:

To increase national security, the government levies a fee on airline tickets. This increases ticket prices for consumers.

To ensure clean air, the government establishes emissions standards for cars. This policy is costly for companies to implement, and most companies pass this cost to consumers in the form of higher car prices.

To lower prices and provide more product options for consumers, the government enforces antimonopoly laws. These laws can potentially limit innovation by not allowing firms to make as much profit as possible.

To protect workers from harmful situations, the government passes worker health and safety laws. These laws limit how companies can use their resources. The costs to provide protective materials for employees can be passed on to consumers.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
