Values On People's Life, And The Value Of Life

The value of one's life has been set from the first days of one's birth till this day as the values and beliefs are slowly changed. The United State government has put a set currency on everyone's lives when they die. When an individual passes away a close person in their life will get that amount of money. Although having a set amount of money on people's life seems unfair. Everyone should get an equal amount of currency on their life. For the government to decide how the money is deducted. The money on a person's life should only get deducted if they have committed a serious crime. Then government will decide how much money will be deducted depending on the crime. Although having a set amount of currency on people's life is wrong the government should have an equal amount for everyones lives and only be deducted on the horrible crimes they have committed.

In one article, What Is A Life Worth? by Amanda Ripley, it speaks about the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and how the attacks led to the development of the human life calculator. It calculates how much your life is worth, based on how much you make and would have continued to make if they had lived. “Every award will be based on a cold calculus, much the way courts handle wrongful-death claims” (Ripley 5). The calculator does not take into account the worth of a person's life, regardless of how much they make. The family members,friends, and lovers of those lost deserve to know that their loved one matters and was more than just a set number. These events changed the course of their lives forever. Many fought the government, saying that they felt their loved one was worth more than what was said and that that should be taken into account.

In Money Love, Lauren Slater explores the importance of life. Whether it be animal life of human life, each are proven to be equal, but in different ways. In the chapter, Slater even questions whether her daughter’s life is more important than a monkey’s, along with the human population in general. There is a part to humans that makes us much more likely to value our own lives over an animals’. The question is: is there really more value to a human’s life?

Should people put the value of life into monetary value or should life be kept solely as an emotional quantity? People and societies throughout the ages have been trying to answer the problem of putting the value of life into terms of dollar bills. The ancient Egyptians buried their dead with all of their worldly belongings. They believed a person’s monetary worth on Earth was over, and they should take all of that earthly worth with them to the afterlife. Modern day Americans are different from the Egyptians. Today people believe that the families of the dead should be compensated for “their” loss.

Personal values, beliefs, and principles are important for individuals to know about themselves. However, when asked the question, “what are your personal values, beliefs, and principles?” The first response is often a laundry list of characteristics with the assumption that those three words are synonymous. From my experience when posed this question the laundry list became long and in retrospect, I began to wonder what the differences were between each of these terms. As a teacher, employee, mother, and Christian knowing these differences and how to answer the question is an important component of determining how I make decisions when faced with ethical dilemmas. Hence, began the investigation of how the terms relate, their meaning and what my answer is to this question. Since my laundry list was quite long for this essay, I will share and explain the top two elements for each category, how they relate to one another and how the knowledge influences tough decisions.

Should we as a society set a monetary value on life, or let it exist on an emotional level? Are the accomplishments we achieve and the money we make throughout our lifetime the only things that determine what our life is worth after death; or should it be based on the value that the individual put upon their own experiences. In contemporary American Society, this question remains to be asked when someone loses their life. In the excerpt from Chris Jones’ “Roger Ebert: The Essential Man” The struggles which Ebert Endures, and the high value he remained to keep on his own life was revealed, which displayed his own personal value of life and how it is precious throughout the conflict. I agree with this mentality completely, because one’s circumstances may outweigh another’s, meaning that there is

Everyone has been led to believe that all lives are equal, and they are however, in terms of monetary value, lives are not equal. Aside the ethics about assigning value to the live it is still done. The justice system tries to resolve this loss by using unjust means. Life should not be given a value in any sort of currency, it is is not right as there is no way to put a price on something as priceless as life. Even if the life of a person is affected by an illness, their worth should not be decreased. All lives are equal, some people need more help than others and it should be given if and when deserve such help. The value of life has been contemplated throughout history, such as Shakespeare's (1599) play, hamlet; in which Hamlet’s

A person’s worth should not be defined by one’s financial assets. Through the words of author Amanda Ripley in “What is a life Worth?” the reader is introduced to the concept of determining life’s abstract value into actual dollars

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.

What is Ethics? In Webster dictionary website define ethic is an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior: a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong.
