Question

Nurul Athirah · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Haidt's intuitionist perspective proposes that moral judgments are primarily based on intuitive emotional reactions, rather than rational thinking. People may feel a stronger emotional reaction to physically and intimately harming someone with a knife compared to shooting someone from a distance, which can be seen as less personal and less intimate. Therefore, their moral judgment may be more negative towards using a knife as the means of killing.
