Decent Essays
Individuals should be more concerned about the well-being of others than about their own welfare. Caring for other people demonstrates that you are not egocentric and it shows the complete content of your character. I believe that people should be more concerned about others than about themselves to maintain an optimistic outlook on life and a positive soul.
Maintaining a positive view on life can be achieved by helping others before helping yourself.

    In the three essays written by Dillard, Appiah, and Pratt, they all use different examples but focus overall on the same “big picture”. They’re all part of a larger conversation, but they each stepped back and put in their own point of view on this subject. The main subject they all discuss is seeing.

    A person’s wellbeing has value that is derived from their intrinsic value as a person. This means that a person is valuable for their own sake, rather than to serve some larger purpose. What is good from the point of view of a person’s wellbeing can never be more important than what is good from the value of the person itself. To claim the opposite removes the grounds for caring about a person’s wellbeing in the first place. Prioritizing wellbeing over intrinsic worth is irrational because it leaves you with no reason to care about the wellbeing that is being prioritized.…

    Being fixated entirely on self interest can easily cloud an individual's ability to empathize. The opposite is also true in that constantly empathizing can allow an individual to neglect themselves and prevent them from bettering themselves. Both of these extremes have the potential to result in prejudicial behaviors. Nonetheless, when self interest and empathy are expressed with the appropriate level of restraint, the result has the capacity to be harmonious and the ability to maximize advantage outcomes. “Too Much Happiness” by Alice Munro, demonstrates how even a glimpse of empathy can result in the betterment of an individual's interests in addition to the subject of their compassion’s.…

    The ethical principle of acting for “the greater good” has its origins in Utilitarianism, a philosophical theory which states that an action is right if it benefits the majority in a given situation. Several realist skeptics of the theory however believe that for the greater good, one must do a little wrong. These individuals assume that any action done in the interest of the majority must be accompanied by a slightly immoral or unjust deed. This essay will discuss how this belief is invalid through an analysis of the Economical, Political and Social definitions of “the greater good” as well as their appropriate case examples where no wrongdoings were perpetrated. On a global scale, the Economical greater good refers to a venture typically…
