Human sacrifice

Because of the fact that they kill only for survival and not for the fun of it. This reason is valid, but it does not outweigh the fact that we as humans are born naturally selfish. In the article,”Are humans naturally selfish”, it says,” Humans are born as good people. But the type of person they turn out to be matters on who they hang out with, and the type of society they live in. And if we do something selfish, it doesn't have to be because…

THE EXISTENSE OF MORAL DUTY TO FEED THE HUNGRY When it comes to matters regarding the moral obligation of one feeding the starved, I am of the notion that they should be helped as it is one of the fundamental principles that make us human. However, this raises the issues to what extent should an individual help a stranger and does it imply that certain individuals in society bear a more obligatory duty than others. It also causes one to question his or her moral duties to others and the…

origins have been disputed with only recent examinations bearing fruit. These debates explore the dichotomy between objective morality and moral relativism. These perspectives are controversial due to religious beliefs, but also to the understanding of human essence and purpose. This problem or debate will be analyzed by using Christian apologetics in favor of objective morality, in order to introduce a new perspective based on morality as it pertains to Christianity. To understand the entirety…

Intro: It is safe to say that every human being in the world wants to be happy. Humans crave the feeling of happiness. Sometimes happiness clouds decision making and causes people to make choices that aren’t the best for other people around them but satisfy their needs, which is quite selfish. People can make decisions based on happiness rather than what is morally right. This can cause many issues because if everyone just does things that make them happy, the world would be filled with…

emotion that human can create by their hearts, their feelings, and nobody would actually see it because it is formless and invisible; it is so mysterious and unsearchable. Like what Samuel said in his poem “Love is a sickness full of woes, All remedies refusing. A plant that with most cutting grows, Most barren with best using. Why so? More we enjoy it, more it dies, If not enjoyed it sighing cries.”(Daniel 132) It has been said, the biggest difference between human and animal is that human have…

My thoughts on human nature can best be summed up by the character Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that’s who we really are.” Our ability to critically think about our behavior and make choices is what makes us human and sets us apart from our hominid ancestors. In fact, as far as other species are concerned, there is no concept of “good” and “evil”; there is predator and prey,…

things, and the closer you get to the root, the more important the problems get. Although it is natural to want to preserve yourself, there are people who devote most of their time to the furtherance of the human race; people like Mother Theresa, Elon Musk, and pretty much anybody who sacrifices most of their time and energy for the furtherance of others. You musn’t die, however, since you are also part of your species. That would also prevent you from helping more people. But living…

always been defined as a mirror of life which reflects both its complexities and trivialities in such a paradoxical way. Monotony, which represents part of the daily routines in life, has been chosen by Becket to unveil the ongoing restlessness of human nature. Very simple and trivial motions in life can lead to great discoveries or dramatic events. With a brief look at Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, some would say that it is traditionally thought to carry on without an underlying…

book in a trilogy, that is about an alien apocalypse where aliens called the Others, are slowly exterminating all humans. One day a Mothership appears in the sky, and waves of death come. The 1st wave was a worldwide power…

In life humans have emotions that take them over leading to reactions that can lead to disaster in the end. In Frankenstein, the most monstrous aspects of the Creature’s character are that of anger and insatiate revenge. Shelley argues that these negative elements of human nature are detrimental in society because it can lead to revenge and destruction. In Volume 2 of Frankenstein, the Creature’s anger of the cottagers leaving unleashes the “monster” in him and leads to the Creature motivations…
