Hello students, in this question we have been asked to explain two quotes so the first one says that altruism, generosity, solidarity and civic spirit are not like commodities that are depleted with use, they are more like muscles that develop and grow stronger with exercise.

So one of these defects of a market -driven society is that it lets virtue like this languish.
01:03
So this quote was argued by michael sandel where he is referring to these qualities, these virtues as something that as we know when we use something it reduces in amount but in these condition where these attributes or these are commodities which does not decrease rather it increases with exercise that is with practice this behavior increases in amount.

So what happens basically if you do good, you do good to someone, you do good for someone, they see it and they have it in their conscience and they will also do good for others so the cycle continues.
01:58
So if you do good people around you are bound to do good so that is what it means.
02:04
The more practice you do of these traits the more prominent they become around you.
02:11
So like they say when you exercise your muscles they grow stronger and develop faster.
02:17
So this is what it means...
