Recommended: The role of family in society

I beleive that some human lives are worth more than others because what if the person that dies is a rapist that hurts and destoyies peolpes lives. In the Popes words every one is equal in gods eyes but what about all the people that hurt and murder people that are in jail for the rest of there lives. Some people are worth more like teachers they get paid not even enough money to teach us kids that dont listen, and that dont even care about what you tell us to do. Another example would be police officers they put there life on the line for us and then peolple shoot them what kind of world do we live in its rediculous.
In the book the most dangerous game that we read in class it talked about how Rainsford at first thought how animals had no feelings but after he was hunted him self he realized that he was wrong. Not all people are valued the same as every body else like people that killing others and hurting people but there are some people that care and want people to be ok. …show more content…

Another one would be worth more is all the people we love and care about from girl friends or your boy friends or your siblings or who ever the people you love are always worth more or at least thats how it is with me. Based on what i have told you its really up to you what you think a human life is worth, but to me it all depends on who it is. Family is the most important thing to me and all of my friends no that even the people i date know this because there my family as well. Everybody has a specific value amount, but not every one thinks this the Pope say to forgive because thats what god wants us to do but not every thing is so easy to forgive and forget about. For example if you have a child and some body kills them how easy would that be to forgive that person I know that i couldn’t do it if I were a

  • Animal Sentience and Equal Consideration of Interests

    1012 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his article entitled “Animal Liberation,” Peter Singer suggests that while animals do not have all of the exact same rights as humans, they do have an equal right to the consideration of their interests. This idea comes from the fact that animals are capable of suffering, and therefore have sentience which then follows that they have interests. Singer states “the limit to sentience...is the only defensible boundary of concern for interests of others” (807). By this, he means that the ability to feel is the only grounds for which rights should be assigned because all species of animals, including humans, have the ability, and therefore all animals have the right to not feel suffering and to instead feel pleasure.

    Let us primarily take into consideration the aspect that Rainsford at first cares not for animals, but his view is altered by his experiences with Zaroff.  First, we must prove that Rainsford really did not care for animals.  Let us look at the conversation on the boat between Rainsford and Whitney.  Here is a quote:

  • The Pros And Cons Of Nonhuman Animals

    1228 Words  | 3 Pages

    We brutally inflict pain upon the animals, not exclusively in the final moments as they are being slaughtered, but for the most part, during their entire life. Many animals know nothing other than a life in a dark, crowded barn or factory treated as meat before they are even killed. These terrible conditions blatantly show that we do not care about these animals and we simply rear and kill them in order to satisfy our trivial interests. The cruelty imposed upon these helpless animals is shocking and it is not rare for people to turn a blind eye to the brutality. Another commonplace would be for a meat consumer to say that humans are “ends in themselves, while everything other than a person can only have value for a person” (C. Vlastos). People believe that animals are on this earth simply for human consumption, which can be easily

  • Argument Against Trophy Hunting

    629 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hunting accidents often injure or kill horses, cows, dogs, cats, hikers, and other hunters.Some hunters mistreat dogs just as the animals they hunt. Dogs who are used for hunting also suffer. They’re often kept chained or penned and denied routine veterinary care such as vaccines and heartworm medication. Some are lost during hunts and never found, and others who are turned loose at the end of hunting season to fend for themselves often die of starvation or get struck by vehicles. Also like other forms of thrilled violence, hunting leads to desensitization(make less sensitive) to the suffering and pain of others. “ A study conducted by Northeastern University and the Massachusetts SPCA found that people who abuse animals are five times more likely to commit violent crimes against humans. The majority of inmates who are scheduled to be executed for murder at California’s San Quentin State Prison “practiced” their crimes on animals, according to the warden.” So my opinion on hunting is that it’s bad but not everyone thinks like me and or care about animals the way that I

  • The Most Dangerous Game Literary Analysis Essay

    212 Words  | 1 Pages

    The short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell proves that life-endangering experiences can change a civilized person. To begin with, Rainsford is a civilized person that only hunts animals. When General Zaroff tells Rainsford about his idea of hunting humans, Rainsford replies, “Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.” Rainsford has a sense of humanity since Rainsford only wants to hunt animals, not humans. Rainsford begins to evolve when General Zaroff starts hunting him down in the forest.

  • What Is Animal Abuse

    1714 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are many animal owners that believe abusing it is the only way to control and train it (Nine Reasons for Animal Abuse). This not only includes animals that are pets, it includes the ones that are in the performing business (Nine Reasons for Animal Abuse). Trainers that do not properly know how to get the animal to act as they want may result in using physical harm to initiate fear, and this will “teach” the animal to do as it is told, so it does not have to risk being abused all over again. As another reason as to why a person may not think of animal cruelty as something serious is due to what the philosopher Raymond G. Frey of Bowling Green State University had to say on the issue. His argument is based around his belief that because animals are not human, they do not have moral rights (The Animal Rights Debate). He also goes on to say that their lives do not have the same moral values as the lives of humans due to another belief that he possesses, which is thinking an animal does not undergo the same emotional and intellectual experiences as a human would (The Animal Rights Debate). While there are some that do not believe that animal cruelty is a serious issue because they have placed their trust in what Raymond G. Fray has said, there are others that simply think animals are a lower form of life (Missimer). These people conclude that

  • Pros And Cons Of Animal Culling

    In the eyes of Mother Nature, creatures all co-exist in a carefully created balance. And yet, we, humans, have tipped this balance, using our natural advantages to destroy the lives of innocent animals. We use our intelligence as a weapon and kill those who have existed on this earth long before we did, because we are ruthless. But we are ruthless with a purpose. We believe that it’s justifiable to kill an animal if one of their kind has killed one of our own.

  • Why We Are More Valuable

    Some people’s lives are more valuable than others. This isn’t because of their net worth. It is the actions they perform and their status to us. Such as, President Obama is more heavily guarded than a high school student because he is the leader of the United States of America, so he is more valuable in the eyes of some Americans. However, some people are less valuable because of the crimes they have committed.
