Why People Must Pay for Rescue
Why would you do something risky knowing it’s risky and dangerous? Some people like taking risks because it's fun to them. According to an article called “The cost of getting lost” by Tatroff, Daniel it says, “People who get themselves into trouble in the wilderness have to pay what it costs to get rescued”. Using logic you should pay for your rescue because you put yourself at risk knowing that the adventure is going to involve something risky. If you knew that then why would you do it?
People should pay because they put themselves at risk according to the article “Who should pay to rescue” by Sun-Herald workers in Australia “ People should pay for their cost of rescue”. Some people do agree with that because you put yourself at risk knowing that the adventure will involve something risky . Also in the article “Pay-per-Rescue” it says “ If someone gets into a risk they have to pay because we aren't giving free rescues, because it cost tons of money just for a helicopter rescue”. Also some people do agree with because like what I mentioned

An example is like in the article “Why should people pay” by Lisa Herald, it said “ People shouldn’t pay for the cost of rescue because the places that their adventuring aren’t safe.”. Some people do agree with this because if if the place isn’t safe for civilians then why should they pay. Also in the article “Why Carnival Shouldn’t Pay and the U.S. Shouldn’t Accept” by Mario Vittone it says “ The last thing I would want is to know that a family was out there in real danger, in a fight between their brain and their wallet trying to figure out if they can afford to call “Mayday.” . Its true for some people that they may not have enough to pay for the rescue and also what if it’s not their fault that they got into that risk. After all we all have our opinions on different
Firefighters, police officers, and military personal should be compensated more than other people because they risk their lives every day to keep citizens safe. It is never right just to view people as dollar signs because when you do this, you do not treat them like a humans and have no regard for their families. Taking both into consideration can account for the lack of resources while also understanding the emotional distress the families will go
... of their personality then that guides to making a good or moral judgment in this situation. The negativity for this ethic is that the coast guards moral fibers might not be the same compared to other coast guard or even to the people that they are rescuing. Some may say that this kind of person would save the family of four that contains the children yet some would argue to save many lives as possible.
In this case, knowing the ocean can be unpredictable these mean still chose to go through with their journey. Even though the probability of dying is low, taking a risk that could mean losing a life is not worth it. Therefore, people need to be knowledgeable about the activities that they are going partake in. For example, In “To build a Fire,” a man went on an expedition to map out a pathway and he went all alone, along with his dog. This man did not learn enough about his expedition until he got himself involved in the life or death situation. “That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed at the time!” Consequently, the man had died on this journey, for making decisions that were risky. Another example of getting involved in a life-or-death situation is volunteering to go to war. Although these people want to protect their country, they need to know that there is a risk involved in going to war. For example, In the story “Moral Logic of Survival guilt,” it talks about soldiers who choose to go to war, and either come out dead or
For every year, there will be six mountain climbers who will succumb to the harsh climb of Everest, and that’s about seventeen times the rate of death caused by skiing and snowboarding accidents together all around the world. Mountain climbing, skiing, and snowboarding are all adventurous and hard-to-participate sports. But why are there so many deaths created by mountain climbing? And in all of those deaths there are about fifteen guides, and mountain rangers, most of them died to help the injured climbers. However, there are more than four thousands successful climbs made by varieties of people from young to old. So should people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? To me, people absolutely do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because that is what rescue services are for, to help people when they need it. And it also depends on their current situation, which may affect their abilities to make a decision.
One of the reasons might be that some are looking for the treasure or fame it will give to them. Others look for themselves and just do it for fun. The courageous people either do it for themselves or for the people they care and love for all eternity and even the one who don't appreciate what they do in life for them. Their will always be a difference though adventure just like their is a difference between you and me. This will separate the most of us but will bring us even closer through stories and adventure to help understand ourselves even better than we do ourselves. Remember this for one day you might need it and when you do you will know just what to do and what is right or wrong and what can be safe or dangerous because their can be some combinations that are not good and some that are
Noam Chomsky used an example, in Requiem for the American Dream that said in the 1950’s people paid their taxes so that the kid down the street could go to school (Scott 2016 Solidarity is basically a safety net, you help someone when they are in need and they help you when you are in need, the state turns this around by attacking it and saying that solidarity is causing more problems than it is fixing problems. “Attacking Solidarity” is a tactic used to reinforce the idea that the people that need help are lazy, no good, junkies who just want a free ride. Causing serious distrust, not only the benefactor, but also in the recipient, by placing distrust in others around you. Silva (2013:97)
Now, that I have gone over some of the many ways in which the traffickers use technology to their advantage we must not overlook the fact that advancement in Technological have also provided unprecedented opportunities for law enforcement and service providers to monitor illicit activity, locate and rescue victims, collect and analyze data leading to the prosecution of traffickers. I will list a few of the best online technological advances that work in the fight to end human trafficking.
The United States is one of the leading suppliers of Foreign Aid in the world, and even though the US gives billions, European countries give aid money to the same countries, this causes many areas of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia to be almost fully dependent on foreign aid. This means that without aid from other countries, they would not be able to support themselves at all. Foreign aid is meant to help countries that are struggling with civil unrest, disease, or natural disasters, it is not meant to help keep the country out of debt, but that is where more and more of the US and The EU’s foreign aid budget is going. The question is, does all this money actually go where it is intended? It should be going towards the government and to help the people, but in many cases, the countries government does not have the resources to properly track the flow of money. The countries in most cases have poor infrastructure and corrupt or oppressive leaders, not always at a national level, but in the towns and cities. So this means there is almost no way to oversee the flow of foreign aid through the country, all we can see is that their situations aren't getting any better and the countries are still impoverished. If this is the case, where are the millions of dollars going? Countries like Afghanistan and Iraq receive the most money from American foreign aid and European aid, yet they are still under oppressive governmental rule and there is still an extreme difference between the rich and poor. Garrett Harding’s theory of “Lifeboat Ethics” exemplifies how not giving aid to others will allow the strongest of society to thrive, while teaching the impoverished to help themselves. He believes that giving aid to poor countries will only make ...
Why do people undertake life changing missions while others only undertake missions to improve the day? Everyone has their own reasons for undertaking a mission. From survival, to striking it rich, everyone has a mission they want to accomplish. Ernesto and Apollo 13’s crew had different missions, but both needed to work hard and persevere to achieve their goals. Ernesto had to work hard to fit in, and determine who he could trust; whereas Apollo 13’s crew had to make quick decisions to survive.
I am adventurous. No I don't sky dive, wrestle crocodiles, or swim with sharks, but when asked by a group of friends to go cliff diving last summer, my best response was, “Sounds like fun!” I had never been afraid of heights yet have never experienced the thrill of cliff diving. All I could ask myself was, “What could go wrong?”
According to Karin Lehnardt from Fact Retriever in “five years or less, it has been predicted that human trafficking will surpass the drug trade”. As indicated on hopeforjustice.org, noun human trafficking is “the illegal movement of people, typically for the purpose of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.” If one was to know how large the drug trade is, you would understand how devastating this statistic is. “Human trafficking has become a modern form of slavery”, quoted from the Polaris website. People around the globe consider this trade because it is a multi billion industry for criminals that reject the independence of about 20.9 billion people. Human trafficking involves women, children as well as men, but the human traffickers are rather known for kidnapping women. When the victims are being used as slaves for someone else’s personal use they are also being physically and mentally abused by their overseer to rip apart their self esteem and confidence. These helpless victims are commonly kidnapped, taken by force and drugged and shipped off to another country to be taken advantage of as sex slaves
Human trafficking, a form of modern day slavery, affects more people than you could imagine. The United States is known for freedom, human rights, and the pursuit of happiness; however, there are many victims of human trafficking that have been stripped of their rights and freedoms. The Victims of Trafficking andViolence Protection Act (VTVPA) of 2000 defines human trafficking as, the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery (Kotrola 8). Human trafficking is a devastating issue many Americans have problems addressing;
This cost happens to not be the only reason for why people do not seek help. By freedom of the United States, people have
In “Brothers are the Same”, the characters risks death with a fearsome lion who could rip each bone in their bodies apart within seconds if inclined to do so, and in “Through the Tunnel”, Jerry decides to dive through an underwater tunnel, taking the risk of drowning and being left for the rest of time up against the rocky ceiling of the tunnel. Danger is one issue, but why do they take these risks when they both aren't yet totally prepared to do so? The characters in “Brothers are the Same” take the risk of death by ferocious kitty cat because they both want to impress the same girl by becoming a man. On the other hand, we have Jerry, who only did it because he wanted to. He could have been more prepared, and not take as big of risk if he had just done more training. The story does imply that he wanted to do more training on his own, if it were not for him being rushed on time, only having a few days to accomplish his
Poverty is in our own backyard. Poverty isn’t turning around a globe and looking toward third world countries for an example. Poverty is everywhere. Poverty is the children down the street who go to bed hungry each night filled only with emptiness. Poverty is my neighbor who had her heat shut off this past winter. However I believe that poverty is preventable.
