I came to Seattle when I was eighteen and had a broad imagination of how the city was going to look, how the people are, and how my life is going to be. As an international student, I was introduced to the Western culture through music and movies. As a teenage girl I thought everyone in the United States lived like Hollywood movie stars. When I came to Seattle I saw homeless individuals in the first week that walked the streets, were dressed, and were fed by local non-profit organizations. Yet, they were still homeless and without shelter on cold rainy nights. Furthermore, the number of homeless individuals in Seattle has overwhelmingly increased by nineteen percent since 2014 (Seattle statistics). Even though I saw diversity in

I believe that shared human life experience is a form of human solidarity driven by emotions. Vaughn Lewis explains to us the meaning of emotivism regarding our moral views. I think that emotivism explains the human reaction to tragedy because it shows how human are cautious of each other. A person can argue that it is not an institutionalized right to shelter the homeless but rather a responsibility of the public driven by emotions, human bound, and solidarity. You might have all the legal reasons to deny the rights of homeless individuals- It can be historical, philosophical, or economical proposals about how just the wealth distribution in Seattle is-. They can synthesize all the sides of those arguments to help you be on their side of the argument no matter what you decide to do with your conclusion.

Emotions can include compassion towards suffering, anger towards suffering, or even feeling strength and power when helping others who suffer. I categorize those emotions to be good emotions because they result in good outcomes. Furthermore, there are bad emotions that will conclude in bad outcomes like fear, worry, and excessive grief. For example, excessive grief can prevent you from practicing activities you enjoy, fear can prevent you from fighting your enemy, and anger can affect your judgments and you will react violently. The main argument that can be made here is that emotivism’s moral approach provides an insight for what drives people to help each other. Furthermore, I think of emotions are an influential as on a person’s moral judgment. Vaughn Lewis quotes the English philosopher A.J. Ayer about how he criticizes this approach to morality “ What are the moral habits of a given person or group of people, and what causes them to have precisely those habits and feeings?” I believe this quote inspires the idea of human solidarity for both a human’s moral judgment and reaction. It is not considering the rational aspect of a situation to be right or wrong, good or bad. Tragedy whether it is just speaks directly to human emotions and what can be done to better the human life experiences. Because we share the same human life experience we have an
