Analysis Of Unwind By Weal Neal Shusterman

990 Words4 Pages

“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world”~Dr. Paul Farmer. In the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman, unwinding is portrayed in many ways, and although unwinding was supposed to be beneficial, many reasons show the contrary. Many of unwinding rules and reasons are extremely unfair, and most don’t apply greatly and spark many debates as seen in the book. There are many reason to support the reasoning behind why all lives matter. For the simple fact that there are more to humans than just parts, a second is that not all of the kids deserve to be unwound for the fact that not all of them are as bad as they seem and after they are unwound there lives no longer matter,and finally the reason that unwinding is existing in the world is the stupidity of the people of that universe. In the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman, there are many reasons to support the reasoning behind the fact that all lives matter. For example one of them is that there is more to humans than just parts. Unwinding effectively kills teenagers and no one says a word about it because they are still technically alive. In this society unwinding is considered to be ok and life is not worth as much as it is now. As Sonya said “ the bill of life was supposed to protect the sanctity of life, but instead it just made life cheap.” This quote from sonya shows that the bill of life which created unwinding eventually just made life cheap instead of making people think that they

  • A Brief Summary Of Just Mercy By Bryon Stevenson

    646 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book Just Mercy, by Bryon Stevenson, he shares the story of his upbringing as a lawyer and company Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. Through his career, he was able to understand the full extent of mercy and its ability to bring out people’s humanity. Additionally, Stevenson argues how people who act upon prejudiced beliefs are just as broken as those who have been condemned to life in prison without parole and on death row, because they have all been defeated by a sense of hopelessness and animosity within their own lives. In my critique, I describe my new found understanding of the cruelty behind the death penalty. Moreso, the trauma and brutality it brings to all the players involved, especially to those who are placed on death row.

    The article forced me to ponder about the existence of unfairness and injustice which inevitably and constantly hinders society because the individual discussed in the article experiences these factors in an unusual and rather extreme circumstance. William Goldman, the author of The Princess’ Bride once rhetorically questioned, “Who says life is fair, where is [this statement] written?”, which summarizes the outcomes of life itself. Humans frequently face adversity throughout daily lives, whether minor challenges or major hurdles; these problems include unretainable lost objects or the death of a beloved individual. To others, injustice may appear judicially and politically; Ivan Henry and David Milgaard were both wrongfully convicted of sexual

    Some things that make us ‘human’ are just the things we value most such as love, emotions, feelings, senses, etc. With this knowledge the society took away the ability to share feelings and the ability to show real affection, they took away the thought of even having thoughts because then curiosity would take over and lead them closer to real, personal independence. Then managed to snatch away anyone’s self worth, all of these things leaving them being in a constant state of unease. For instance, “There is fear hanging in the air of the sleeping halls, and the air of the streets. Fear walks through the city, fear without name, without shape.

    Alicia Garza: co-creator of the #BlackLivesMatter movement (BLM) advocates that -“Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean your life isn’t important – it means that Black lives, which are seen as without value within White supremacy, are important to your liberation. Given the disproportionate impact state violence has on Black lives, we understand that when Black people in this country get free, the benefits will be wide-reaching and transformative for society as a whole.

  • Mary Anne Warren's On The Moral Permissibility Of Infanticide

    625 Words  | 3 Pages

    Even today, there are many moral and philosophical issues that divide the United States because they create very polarized opinions and beliefs. One such philosophical issue is the moral permissibility of infanticide. Mary Anne Warren, a philosopher, presents her liberal yet controversial views on the issue of infanticide in the postscript of her article, On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion. However, the anti-infanticide arguments pose problems for Warren’s position because they justify the immorality of infanticide through the physical similarity in resemblance of neonates to human beings. These arguments also claim that the destruction of a viable infant is needless because even if the infant’s biological parents reject the infant, there are many other parents who are willing to adopt and nurture that infant.

The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we've made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.” - Caitlin Moran Abortion does what contraception does not necessarily do: it works.
