The Importance Of Human Life

Since I was young, I have always had an affinity of people watching, and trying to figure out what type of life they lived. Especially, what type of events would cause people to adopt a positive (happy) outlook in comparison to people that dwell on the negatives attributes? Growing up, my mother had a peculiar thought process that would always managed to lead to negative (not happy) thoughts. In the beginning, I too would follow similar thought process, but I quickly realized how exhausting it was to maintain. Before reading Shawn Achor’s book, I wanted to clear my mental database and allow for this new information to be absorbed into my life.

Every human that has stepped foot on this earth has had a different story. No story is identical, no story is exact, no story is perfect. No one has ever read a book that was exactly alike by two completely different authors. Now why do you think that is? Why is everyone so unique? It is because we are each born in different settings or environments. Our families, homes, and communities shape who we are, because no one is born a certain way… Rather, we each live a different way.

Out of around 7.347 billion people in the world, there is not one person who is the exact same. We all have physical differences, we all talk differently, think differently, we have different interests, motivated differently, different drives, desires, we all have different goals and dreams.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee writes, “Nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose. It's hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody.” Black lives matter and all life matter contradict each other when they are used incorrectly. Overall, saying that all lives matter is more true than black lives matter. Even though it’s true black lives matter, all lives matter shows we cannot discriminate against individuals. Some feel that all lives matter is racist because of the way it was used to show

As humans we believe that we are unique and there is nobody in the world who is exactly the same as us. However our uniqueness originates from our life experiences and these events we experience drive us towards certain characteristics that mark who we are. No matter how unique you may feel there is likely someone else in the world who has gone through similar situations.

Survival and preservation of humanity are among two important themes in Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Through the main protagonist, Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, the audience is transported into the reality of Stalinist repression. Throughout the novel, Solzhenitsyn makes it clear that freedom is not a cut and dry issue. Rather, when one is focused on survival and maintaining their dignity, some element(s) of freedom are still possible even during the most oppressive times.

Everyone ever born on this planet, is different than the next or the last person that was born before them. Even twins, though genetically and physically identical, have unique personalities that make each of them their own person. There are similarities between us, however, with some people having more in common than others. Individual things like our appearance, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, family, likes and dislikes end up corralling us into certain corresponding groups. These groups are also known as co-cultures. When we belong to one of these co-cultures, different people will meet one of the members of it and then label that person, good or bad, and expect that certain label to apply to all members of the same group, essentially

When I look out into the world it does not take long for me to realize that we are all different in a plethora of different ways. We all grow up in many different societies and

Till this day no one has ever lived the exact same life as another person. While we can experience similar situations or be in the same place as an event was happening, the event would never be exactly the same. This is because we have diverse thoughts, views and feelings. Diversity also allows us to make our own decisions on what we want to do and who we want to be.

Irving accommodates these three characteristics really well. First, it was set in the past during a remote time. Second, the characters in the story are unusual and exaggerated. Finally, the story has concealed events and their consequences. A national mythology is different stories that recognize and celebrate a nation’s idea.

Posttraumatic stress disorder is becoming an ever-growing topic off concern within the childhood and young adolescent community, this topic is brought up in multiple settings including school, child protective services, and the foster care system. PTSD in our youth can happen through numerous ways and does not always occur from physical or sexual abuse, it can occur through natural disasters or even community dysfunction however the effects from the trauma suffered can last a lifetime. “The most basic definition of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric sequel to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic in nature.” (Kassam-Adams, & Winston, 2004, p.409). In the event that a client suffers

While all people conform to society to some degree we all develop aspects of individuality from our different experiences. Individuality is what makes the human race as successful as it is. It adds creativity and change in an otherwise idle society. Without it there would be no change.

Humans are an interesting species because of the strong need humans have to fully understand what it truly means to be human. Many fields such as history, psychology, and sociology all offer a perspective in the study of humanity, but there are distinguishable from anthropology. Anthropology differs from other humanities fields due to its holistic nature, comparative research methods, and the strong emphasis on fieldwork and participant interaction. Anthropology is the study of people throughout the world, their evolutionary history, how they behave, adapt to different environments, communicate and socialize with one another. In order for anthropologists to examine the full scope of human life, they employ the four field approach that embodies the holistic nature of the field.

Though our society has adapted and developed, inequality remains prevalent all around the world. Our society assigns value to human live based on ethnicity and gender. Currently around the world there are over 30 million slaves in which 60,000 are in the United States. Even though slavery has been abolished in nearly every country many people still measure the value of individuals in cents and dollars. Should life be calculated in terms of money? How should we as a society assign value to a persons life? I personally believe that you can't assign a price to someones life and you shouldn’t It’s both politically and morally unjust.
