Which statement aligns with Nietzschean ethics?

• A. Mass communication does not exist; mass destruction may occur.
• B. Mass communication always spreads harmony.
• C. All laws are universal.
• D. A will to power guides interactions.

Answer: (D)

In Nietzschean ethics, the driving force behind human behavior is the will to power—the fundamental impulse to assert influence, create values, and shape one’s surroundings. Saying that a will to power guides interactions aligns with this view because it treats behavior as expressions of striving for mastery and self-assertion, not simply obeying fixed universal rules. Nietzsche also questions universal laws and the idea that harmony or consensus defines right action, emphasizing individual flourishing, life-affirming power, and the ongoing process of self-overcoming. So the statement about the will to power captures the focus on power dynamics and value-creation that characterizes Nietzschean thought.
