    In Shimon Wincelberg’s Resort 76, there were several instances in which one man was willing to sacrifice himself to save the life of another, including Schnur’s voluntary surrender to the SS to ensure that no one else would die on account of his own actions and the willingness of Blaustain to care for Madame Hershkovitch’s illegal cat even though he knew it would endanger his own life, so that they could eventually trade it in to feed her five children and take care of his ill wife, Ester.

  • Garrett Hardin's The Cause Against Helping The Poor

    1196 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is no moral reason to prefer people who are closer to us. Singer’s argument says, “if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance then we ought, morally to do it (Singer, pg. 231). Singer then presents a case in where a child is drowning in a pod and we should sacrifice a small portion of our luxury life. However, I disagree with Singer’s argument, because there is a moral obligation as to why we should prefer people who are closer to us. For example, there are thousands of children near us dying of starvation and there can be thousands more starving in another country. However, the children who are nearest to us have priority due to being a fellow citizen or a member of the community in where one can aid much faster. There should be no guilt in accepting the fact that it is of more urgent importance to help those in close proximity than those whom we may never be aware of. Secondly, in helping the children who are nearer to us we may be assured that out efforts will be efficiently used, rather than the children who are far away in which we might not be sure that we are aiding correctly or that our efforts will pay off. Our way of helping, whether it is financially or ideologically, may not be enough to help, and this may actually harm, the situation. For this reason our moral obligation to the children

  • Example Of Sacrifice Research Paper

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sacrifice is something we all may face at least once in our lifetime. A man named Oleg demonstrated a heroic act of self sacrifice when he threw himself on top of a live grenade to absorb the blast with his own body. Due to his sacrifice he saved his team members, nearby citizens, and the female hostage. He made the split second decision to save the people around him despite the risk of losing his own life. However, not everyone can make such a quick decision regarding a sacrifice. Before making a sacrifice, people can consider the kind of sacrifice it is, what they stand to gain, and when the sacrifice is appropriate.

  • is it wrong to not donate

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    Firstly, according to Singer’s second premise it is necessary to sacrifices if something is not really important to us in order to help others or preventing bad things from happening. He uses the example of a drowning child to further prove his point. People should put our shoes into other’s shoes such as imagining we are the child’s parents, will we still hesitate to save him? No, we will for sure do everything to rescue him without thinking of the consequences. Thus, he believes that there is a moral obligation to help the little boy because of the Golden Rule that he brings out. I would agree that people should do their possible to help others in need or in danger if there is no harm to us as the importance of saving a child outweighs the cost of getting our shoes wet and being late for work. We should “do unto others as we would have them do unto you”. However, I found that his...

  • The Crew Of The Challenger Essay Topics

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    People risk their life for something they are passionate about: it can be their job, another person, even an animal. The Challenger space shuttle crew was passionate about what they did and they knew the risks about being in the shuttle and the worst happened to them. Steve Irwin was passionate about animals (mostly predators) and showing them to people. The most unfortunate thing happened to him also as he was stung in the heart by a stingray causing him to pass away. Other people like Will and Halt in the book The Ranger’s Apprentice, risk their lives on multiple occasions. They do so for their country and for doing what they are passionate about, being Rangers and defending their country for the good of the people who live in it. So, is something you are passionate about worth risking your life for?

    Many people try to achieve their dreams knowing they could hurt themselves or possibly die. For example a snake charmer could encounter the Inland Taipan. “The Inland Taipan is about 68 times as poisonous as the King Cobra, and 740 times as poisonous as the Western Diamondback Rattle snake (Jamie James, page 139)”. Which leads to my question, if your passion could cause you to severely injure yourself, family members, or friends really worth taking that risk?
