Gratitude is one of W.D. Ross's seven prima facie duties.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Ross holds that we have a prima facie duty to show gratitude to those who have benefited us when they were not morally required to do so. This is the prima facie duty of gratitude. He did not hold that we must show such gratitude no matter what the circumstances. A prima facie duty only holds if there is no more important duty requiring that you act differently than what the prima facie duty requires.
