(Originais Teachy 2024) - Questão Difícil de Inglês

In his seminal work 'Critique of Pure Reason', Immanuel Kant argues that 'ought' implies 'can', suggesting that our moral obligations are tied to what we are actually capable of doing. In a language context, English modal verbs like 'can', 'could', 'may', 'must', and 'should' also carry a sense of capability or possibility, shaping not just the meaning but also the tone of what we express. Consider a scenario in which you, as a diplomat, are negotiating a complex international agreement and the specific modal verb you choose can have significant diplomatic repercussions. You need to carefully consider the nuances and responsibilities conveyed by each modal verb to ensure that your demands and offers are both reasonable and enforceable. Based on this, write a well-structured essay where you: 1. Discuss how the modal verbs 'can', 'could', 'may', 'must', and 'should' differ in their implications and obligations in the context of international diplomacy. 2. Evaluate the appropriateness of each modal verb in hypothetical statements related to diplomatic negotiations, considering both the practical and moral aspects of the agreements being made.
