People have been sacrificing themselves for the good of society for centuries. However, why do people do this? Morality is the reason behind a human's desire to be good in immoral circumstances. In The Crucible, Arthur Miller exhibits how the characters' commitment to their values and the sacrifices they entail become more meaningful when the situation is grim.

China's one child policy was incredibly negative towards its people. In China, boys are culturally favored over girls, because of this the practice of infanticide has become more common due to the policy, this is stated in Imbalance and Discrimination where it is stated, "With boys being viewed as culturally preferable, the practice of female infanticide...was resumed in some areas shortly after the one-child policy went into effect" (Document E). This quote demonstrates the negative effects to come out of the one child policy, because parents can only have one child, parents in China will want a boy over a girl as it is more culturally

Our society has become a place where sacrifices are required to achieve specific goals. Sacrifice is an act of killing or giving up something in order to accomplish something that is more worthy, and righteous.

In Santiago’s journey to achieving his Personal Legend, he sacrifices factors that provide him comfort, a sense of security and pleasure such as his sheep, money, and love. By making such sacrifices, Santiago learns to overcome difficult situations indepently.

Most females are not respected and are heavily pressured by their parents. Many Chinese women are expected to be in arranged marriages and are not respected in their family or the work-place. Woman that aren’t even born yet suffer from infanticide. If the parents came to find that they were having a girl from ultrasound- they would abort that child and try for a boy causing pre-birth ultrasounds to be banned. “Negative social consequences, particularly sex discrimination. With boys being viewed as culturally preferable, the practice of female infanticide was resumed in some areas shortly after the one-child policy took effect.” (Document E) “I hate to say it but the one-child policy should party be blamed for some social issues in youth today.” “She wished she has a brother or sister to share all the attention.” (Document F) This evidence supports the claim that the one-child policy was a bad policy because women have always been culturally no preferable, causing unborn females to be aborted.

Historical background was provided in great detail on infanticide in the opening section, this set a precedent that these topics were researched in great length. Throughout the chapter, Davis provided historical support on the other topics presented in this chapter through court cases and research studies. Davis’ support was most beneficial when presented in the form of court cases that have shaped the laws present today and even those that are not commonly known.

Tell me, when you think about your loved ones, what is the greatest sacrifice you would make for them? When I think of this my first thought would be death. Obviously I disagree with Hale from The Crucible and think he is very wrong when he states, "No principle, however glorious, is worth dying for" and my claim can be proven from example such as MLK, Abraham Lincoln, and Gandhi- people who all died doing what they loved, and believed in.

Johns Sacrifices In the Crucible John Proctor makes many sacrifices that in the end are seen to have helped restore social order in hysteric Salem.

In the novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” written by Khaled Hosseini, the parents make many sacrifices in order to protect their families. The parents had to endure separation from their children to provide them with a better life during the horrific events occurring as a result of the war.

Sacrifices are made everyday by everyone in the world. There are plenty of sacrifices in the Crucible and the one that stands out to me is John Proctors sacrifice. He sacrificed his own life to save his name. The points I’m going to be talking about is all about sacrifices. It’s only going to be about John Proctor’s sacrifice. Mr. Proctor did lechery and he tried to keep it a secret until the end of the play. Everything was going well with John keeping it a secret until the girl who he did it with spilled the beans. He admitted to it and was told to sign his name so it can be hung up for everyone to see. He first signed it and said that he didn’t want to or have his family to live with a tainted name. The easiest idea of sacrifices are that everyone makes a sacrifice in their life many times.

According to the article “Paddle Battle” in Junior Scholastic, hitting a student tells them it “is an acceptable way to change other people’s behavior, to express disapproval, or to solve problems”[17]. This is a complete opposite of what is taught to children. Starting at a young age, a child is told not to hit other people, yet to hit them in school as a punishment is hypocritical and undermines that lesson. Furthermore, paddling inspires fear in students, not respect. Deborah Sendek, in an article in Junior Scholastic, says that an environment where a student

Corporal punishment is a form of punishment used on children to correct bad behavior.

However, almost 50% of the states in the U.S. still allow it to occur. Corporal punishment is always wrong to use in schools because it causes long-term negative effects on students, negative opinions of school or teachers, and it can increase the rate of crime and violence from students.
