So is their a difference between courage and a thrill-seeker. Basically yes their is more than a difference they are like opposites of each other. They don't compare but instead contrast to every single aspect of each other. One way is that a courageous person is someone that looks fear in the eyes and fights for what's right and themselves but a thrill seeker is someone who doesn't see fear but instead they go on the perilous journey just …show more content…
One way this can be true is that someone that seeks thrill will only go on the adventure for fun like in the movie that is called "Journey 2" and in this movie a young boy wants to figure out what causes so much trouble in a part of an island and he wants to do it only for the fun and their was no treasure in for him to do it he just wanted to do it because he was a thrill-seeker. On the other side for the courageous people an example could be Mafatu from the book "Call It Courage" when he was teased for being afraid of the water at sea because his mother died their and he was to afraid to save her but then Mafatu was courageous enough to go set out to see and go to an island and bring back something to show his courageous tribe that he was not afraid anymore but instead happy for what he had done and now he was to be the most courageous boy in the island. This was a good story and it wasn't because of the thrill but instead because of the courage he had to do the thing he …show more content…
For example in one movie called "Journey 2" as mentioned above their was also the boys girlfriends father who went only for the money. He was going for the riches because in the island they head out to their was a volcano that throw out gold rocks. This was mostly for the business he had with helicopters and the father also got money by bringing the boy and his father to the island by a helicopter. On the other hand the father didn't just want the money for himself he was not selfish and instead was courageous as well because of a reason. He decided to go to that dangerous island all for his daughter and to get her enough money to join a university so that she can live a good life so that the father could stay happy. Their were many dangers on that island but for his daughter nothing was to big nor to
An example of courage, as the judgment that something else is more important than fear, is through the character of Kak in B for Buster by Iain Lawrence. In this novel, Kak is characterized as a young, determined boy, desiring to turn himself from a comic book reading boy into a World War II hero. Planning to escape his drunken, abusive father, Kak enlists himself in the Canadian Air Force although he is underage and only sixteen years old. During his first mission, he is becomes frightened of the risk of not coming home alive, but doesn?t show his emotions because of his austere, intrepid crewmen. During this mission, Kak did not have an absence of fear, but he felt that becoming a hero like the ones in his comic book, and accomplishing his dream of fly, was more important than his fear of dying.
One of the best explanations of courage is the following by Maya Angelou: “One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtues with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” Her explanation summarizes all that courage can lead you to who you are in life. Courage is standing up for what you believe in, despite disapproval, pain, fear, uncertainty, or intimidation. Courage is challenging what is normal. Courage is giving voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Courage is using whatever power available to educate the world about injustice. Courage is following your heart even when the path is not known. Courage is trying after failing.
Courage is the thing which can be found in a child to an old man. It needs a lot of courage to take out courage from the heart. It is like a brain. It depends on the person, how and when he uses it. This tiny word has the power to convey the whole gesture of a person. According to Harper Lee?s genius ?To Kill a Mockingbird?, Courage is when you know you are licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through it through no matter what.
Q1: The argument suggests courage be defined based on, the actions of an individual and the situation they are placed in. Someone could be put into the same situation and act on the situation differently based on experience, knowledge, desperation, and the meaning of the action or situation to an individual.(192c1-3-192d7) Someone with more knowledge will act more accordingly to a difficult situation if they know what their chances are in succeeding in that action or the consequences attempting it.

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

Although everyone must explore and be adventurous to find who they are, they should do it in a rational way. In my point of view Chris McCandless was suicidal when he decided to enter the wild. John Krakauer, the author of Into the Wild, led us to believe through the shaved clean cut pictures of Chris that he was going to come home. However, I believe Chris did not intend to come home because of his unreasonable thinking and his unwillingness to prepare himself for the wild.

When telling their story, the narrators clearly express their aspirations of living an adventurous life. They both view international travel as a vessel for self-discovery and meaningful memories. For example, in Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa, David Sedaris expresses his desires for life-long memories and international travel when he writes, “They weren’t rich, but what Hugh and his family lacked financially they more than made up for with the sort of exoticism that works wonders at cocktail parties, leading always to the remark, ‘that sounds fascinating’.” According to this passage, Sedaris seems to believe that money is less important than experiences and memories themselves. One is able to infer that he yearns for a life that is filled with adventures. He wants to have the ability to tell interesti...

Courage is the ability to overcome hardship, not avoid it or create more of it to make yourself seem more
The mind can make people do crazy things in the simplest or the most stressful situations. As shown in the articles, movie, and book, it takes courage and bravery to do what most people will not do or fear to do.

In conclusion, it’s easy to agree that courage and bravery drive people to do crazy things.
Courage is a state of mind that enables a person to overcome fear, pain, danger, or hardship. Although different from one another, all aspects of courage involve taking risks.
What is courage? Courage is the spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, and bravery. Courage to me is bravery, heroic acts, and people that put their life in danger.

As stated by Yeung Kathryn, “You get in life what you have the courage ask for”, courage is a highly acclaimed trait that shows the action on the consequences of fears and doubts. This is not a single characteristic. It is the combination of numerous quality such as bravery, passion, faith and so on which makes a perfect human being.

Most people wouldn't even think about doing an act that was dangerous even if they would be labeled as a courageous person afterward.
