The True Value Of Life

The article “What is a Life Worth?” By Amanda Ripley gives support to Feinberg on the issue of placing a value on a human life. Ripley includes evidence of two different social class families the Sparacio family and the Fields family. Sparacio family included a current trader and a part-time school psychologist as the occupation of the parents. While the Fields family only had one income which was from a security guard. Even though the Sparacio family holds a higher social class than the Fields family, The Fields were awarded $444,010 due to having three more children than the twin two-year-old sparacio family which were only awarded a small compensation of $138,000. The widow Cheri Sparacio states “This was just one screw-up after another”

Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Where there is love, there is life”. Human beings cannot live a fulfilled life without love of some kind. In Junot Diaz’s Novel, “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” we see that love plays a vital role. Love, or the lack of it, impacts each individual in the story and leads them to become reckless or grow stronger. Whether its love from a parent, from a friend, or a significant other, we need it to function, to grow, and to be able to accept ourselves.

Great analysis! I agree with your perspective about maintaining 55 miles per hour speed limit and how decreasing or increasing it impacts the value and quality of life.

Now, with the clear sunlight , the four men finally address their situation. The captain is lying injured in the bow of the boat, and the The rough January sea is tossing the men around the boat, rising high over the gunwales. The oiler and the correspondent are rowing, trying to get to Mosquito Light Inlet, where there is a lifesaving station. As the day goes on, the men become silent. The captain encourages them. “We’ll get ashore all right,” he says. As they row, seabirds fly over them, flying in groups next to them, one even coming close enough to be waved off. The men cuss at it, thinking it is a bad omen, or bad sign. After quite some time of rowing, the captain spots the lighthouse in the horizon. The crew then rigs up a sail , made from the captains jacket, to help them get to shore quicker and easier. They are very tired and sore from rowing all day. As they get closer to the lighthouse, the wind dies down. thus

Similarly Coral, another protagonist, is depicted as experiencing emotional development as a result of her journey, to the Gold Coast. The literal journey parallels her metaphysical travels. Dialogue and character interaction reveal her suffering before her holiday. Due to Coral’s deep suffering from the tragic loss of her only son in the Vietnam War she has neglected to interact and connect with people. “You’re on your honeymoon, aren’t you?” shows Coral has learnt to freely communicate with fellow travellers in orderly fashion whist on her holiday. Still Coral feels confined by her husband’s threat of hospitalization so she escapes to a more natural environment. At the beach Coral meets Tom, a catalyst for her change. Their conversation got her “back into the swim.” This is emphasised by Coral’s participation in “The Stranger on the Shore,” where she reiterates her past, “I’m walking” suggests she has accepted the true facts of reality. “The light becomes bright, summery,” this stage direction demonstrates

We hear only tales of its slow stricken madness. Most often it’s a fisherman, who falsely lulled by the ocean’s gentle rhythm, forgets the ravenous spirits lurking below. He wakes up on a sandy shore and sees he’s alone--his small ship decimated by the shimmering waters he knew for decades.

Over the years, philosophers have been preoccupied with finding an answer to the meaning of life. I shall focus on three major philosophical views in my essay – Metaphysic, Ethics and Social justice. I will also discuss my personal opinions on the meaning of life. I believe the meaning of life is to give life an importance. All through recently in my life, I have pondered what the meaning is. Why am I and everyone else even on this planet?

Within life every person comes to a point in which they may need to reflect on what they believe the values to life to be. What values a person views as important now may not have been the same back five or more years ago. Values to a person's life changes as that person's life circumstances change. No two people will have the same life values or perspective on life. What gives a person insight to the values that they see fit can consistently be changing.

Martin Seligman defines the meaningful life as knowing what your highest strengths are and “using your
