The Argument of Rescue Services
Many people have had a an issue of safety on rescue services. Some say they are risking their lives while others say that they are not. There have been many articles on the subject about rescuers that died and climbers that had a false sense of hope. Some articles say that the climbers are safe and that there is nothing dangerous about mountain climbing. But what is right is that people do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because all humans have a right to rescue services.
The first reason people do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is that it is their choice. In source 1 it said “...a technique developed in Switzerland.” suggests that the new technique can save more lives. As stated in line 65-69, “...there attaching a long line...and there putting a technician at the end…” This shows that there are safer ways into saving more time.. In addition, it demonstrates that people are working on techniques into saving more people, climbers and rescuers. Those who disagree think that resources are risking their lives: this argument is wrong because rescuers are highly talented. Therefore, being

Source 2 titled “...the ascend is not as treacherous as it was.” As specified in line 21-22 “Sherpa guides know where they should put ropes and paths the climbers should take.” This demonstrates that the sherpa guides know where everything is. In addition the climbers will be safe do to the ropes and paths on the mountain. Opponents contend that the paths are still dangerous; this perception should be discounted because the guides are making sure that the climbers are safe. Consequently, the safety of the climbers is the second reason people do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at

In order to continue climbing Everest, many aspects of climbing need to be improved before more people endanger their lives to try and reach the roof of the world. The guides have some areas that need the most reform. During the ascension of Everest the guides made a plethora mistakes that seemed insignificant but only aided in disaster. The guides first mistake is allowing “any bloody idiot [with enough determination] up” Everest (Krakauer 153). By allowing “any bloody idiot” with no climbing experience to try and climb the most challenging mountain in the world, the guides are almost inviting trouble. Having inexperienced climbers decreases the trust a climbing team has in one another, causing an individual approach to climbing the mountain and more reliance on the guides. While this approach appears fine, this fault is seen in addition to another in Scott Fischer’s expedition Mountain Madness. Due to the carefree manner in which the expedition was run, “clients [moved] up and down the mountain independently during the acclimation period, [Fischer] had to make a number of hurried, unplanned excursions between Base Camp and the upper camps when several clients experienced problems and needed to be escorted down,” (154). Two problems present in the Mountain Madness expedition were seen before the summit push: the allowance of inexperienced climbers and an unplanned climbing regime. A third problem that aided disaster was the difference in opinion in regards to the responsibilities of a guide on Everest. One guide “went down alone many hours ahead of the clients” and went “without supplemental oxygen” (318). These three major issues: allowing anyone up the mountain, not having a plan to climb Everest and differences in opinion. All contributed to the disaster on Everest in
"These climbers risk life and limb to thin air, frostbite, bone-chilling cold, hypothermia, avalanche and high wind to reach some of the world's highest summits like the 14 mountains in Asia that rise above 8,000 meters."(❡4) These mountain climbers risk their lives for the view and beauty of the world. The evidence also shows that if anyone takes a risk, that person can have great achievements. If mountain climbers don't possess this trait then they aren't cut out for being a mountain climber. Mountain climbing is all about the risks for a great
Now to conclude my point on why people shouldn't be rescued on Everest the three reasons could harm the climbers people could die it's very dangerous and it's very hard to rescue the people in trouble.To sum it up I believe that people shouldn't be rescued on Everest even though they know the risks and
Do people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? Mountain climbing is an activity of climbing mountains. For helicopter services, each cost about $2 million apiece and the helicopter could only take one climber. The air is very thin on the higher level of the mountain, climbers may have faced bad weather. Members of climber are increasing in the climbing season, many of them are in the death zone that there are traffic jams. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves in a risky because people may die, and bad environment.
And they got one climber off, and they crashed attempting to rescue the second man” (Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest 7). It is a rescuer’s job to know the risks for saving a climber but if the climber is a professional, they shouldn’t be easily be making mistakes. When there are rescuers who come pick you up fast when you can’t complete the climb, it is like having a safety net behind you. But where is the safety net behind the rescuers? There isn’t one, once they make a mistake, there won’t be someone to save them, so there shouldn’t be rescuers saving climbers when they are risking their own lives but also the
War is the story of the people lives who were lost throughout the war. This includes during and after. This is what I would believe the meaning behind war. I have a lot of reasons as to why this is which is backed up through behind the book The Things They Carried. TTTC goes through the life of an army platoon in the middle of the war in Vietnam. Many of the people that are included throughout the book includes Jimmy Cross, Ted Lavender, Mitchell Sanders, Kiowa and many other people in the platoon.
“Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.” Joy Mangano. This proves that although risk-taking can be accepted, you must be experienced in the risk that you’re taking in order to be safe. My first source, Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest is transcribed from Robert Siegel’s radio show, and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform readers. Another source I analyzed is “Why Everest?” The article was authored by Guy Moreau and is a nonfiction article that is meant to inform readers. The third source I researched is Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier and is a nonfiction newspaper article meant to inform readers. The author of the article is The Seattle Times. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because it puts more people at risk, it is cost-heavy, and because they choose to risk their lives.
Did you know that over two-hundred thirty deaths have happened on Mount Everest and that rescue services have only successfully removed thirty bodies? Those people died because they were unprepared by not having enough oxygen or they didn’t plan accordingly. Being unprepared, not being physically fit, and putting other people at risk are three reasons why I think that Rescue Services should not be allowed for people who put themselves at risk.
Can you save other people’s lives when you are in danger or close to death? I would say “No” most of the time because my life is the most important thing in the universe at least for me. This is a quite difficult and controversial question, but I assume that the majority of people would say no as well. I don’t understand why the climbers take risks that they can die.
Boxers are they just bullies in silk shorts., or are they genuine athletes. Boxing is a physical contest between two combatants who use their fists to defeat their opponent. While it may seem like a common bully there is more to a boxer than just throwing punches. The life of the typical boxer generally consists of time training, career fights, and finally recovering from lifelong injuries.
Unfortunately, the importance of doing this has come about from professionals failing to protect Victoria Climbie who died in 2000. Her death was preventable as doctors, police and social workers all came into contact with her and had
Secondly, people who end up hurt in life-or-death situations waste a lot of money. As stated in “The Cost of Survival”, the people stranded at sea costed $663,000. The authors agrees that they waste a lot of money, “In the end, taxpayers cover the cost of rescue for those who put themselves at risk. Maybe there are better uses for our money.” As stated in the text, people argue that they’re not going to call for help, knowing that they will be charged. However, most people don’t understand that “many rescue workers have lost their own lives saving others.” If you can simply be responsible for yourself and not be a fool, you’ll be okay physically.
Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe (1889), an oil painting by post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, portrays mental illness not through the subject material itself but because the artist mirrors the nineteenth-century attitudes towards the mentally ill by context and by what is absent from the picture. Like in Dürer’s Melancholia I, the piece portrays a personal view of mental illness but unlike Dürer, who declared himself genius in his melancholy, van Gogh seeks in painting himself to disassociate himself with mental illness. Weeks earlier van Gogh had been hospitalized after a dispute between the post-impressionist painter Paul Gauguin and himself ended with van Gogh falling to delusion and cutting his left earlobe off;
