Designing a Fairer Social Rule
A ship's regulation requires all lights to be extinguished by 8 p.m. to allow some crew members to sleep. However, it permits others to continue drinking on the open deck. This rule creates a new problem: the noise from the drinkers on deck now disturbs the on-duty watch crew. Propose a modification to this regulation that addresses the new noise problem while still attempting to balance the conflicting desires of the sleepers, the drinkers, and the watch crew. Justify why your proposed modification is a better solution.
