is considered to be a human and the other a monster. They may not have begun life the same way but their voyage has parallel experiences. Their journey begins with them being humane and ends with monstrous intentions. The monster, like Victor, feels anger, happiness, and the other feelings experienced by a human. He endures the rejection and pain. The creature and Victor experience many of the same things and display many human and monster like qualities; although one is human, and the other is…

Appiah and Cosmopolitanism Argument “Not because Socrates has said it, but because it is really in my nature, and perhaps a little more than it should be, I look upon all humans as my fellow-citizens, and would embrace a Pole as I would a Frenchman, subordinating this national tie to the common and universal one.” (Montaigne, 1533–1592) When reflecting on Appiah Cosmopolitanism Argument; I was embraced in the idea of how the world has evolved through centuries.

beings, both human and non-human, can have intrinsic moral worth without having high rationality. She argues that humans face the problem of normativity, which emerges because of the reflective structure of human consciousness. Our reflective capacities make us less impulsive and allow us to take decisions in a more matured manner.

away a human’s life. Though the fetus is not yet mature, many believe a fetus is a person because it has human DNA and is made of human cells. Marquis doesn’t support this because it would assume that even killing cancer cells is unethical because after all, cancer cells are composed of human cells too.

People all around the world have grown up with similar ideas of morals, in that which is right and that which is wrong. An unconscious moral has developed over the years implying that one must consider others. “Will I get into trouble if I do this?”“Did I do the right thing by hurting the person with my actions?” or “Will there be change if I do this?” are some of the types of questions that occur with one’s actions. Cornell West participates in an act of civil disobedience, in the video posted…

all the time. As Taylor writes in The Meaning of Life, “The point of any living thing 's life is, evidently, nothing but life itself,” (Taylor). Many people aren’t content with this view on the meaning of life because it serves no purpose to them. Human beings seek out the meaning of life to find answers to life-long unanswerable questions.
