According to Michael Walzer whether the resultant suffering is natural cause or caused by the human hand, we have the right and should respond in a humanitarian way. John Rawls claims there is a natural duty to help others. It’s because of the empathy people have that make us want to help. Once it comes to human agents being involved we have to consider the causal chain. Causal chain is the path running from the cause of the problem to the symptoms of the problem. This is when natural duty becomes political obligation.
Walzer’s believes global justice is built on principal and mutual recognition rather than coercion. He connects justice with equal rights. He says relief and repair are the primary forms of global justice, although he does recognize the primary forms are never finished. He can imagine a world where all the states were able to help themselves. Walzer’s also

I think that would be great. That being said that would mean everyone would have to recognize everyone’s else’s rights whether it be in culture or religion. In my opinion the likely hood of that ever happening is very slim. Let’s say we were able to make everyone else recognize others rights. You would still have the problem of who is right and who is wrong based on their beliefs. How can any one person or group of people decide whose beliefs and morals are right when there will be so many different societies.
I do believe we should help others, but we need to focus on our own country, how can we convince others to work together and co-exist with us when we can’t even do it among-est ourselves. We have people right here in our own country living in poverty and abuse that don’t receive help. Why spend billions of dollars to help other countries, spend that on us and our country. Let us set the example for others and maybe they will
In his argumentized article, Political Strategist Reed Galen argues that Americans are not taking these current tragedies seriously, and are beginning to dismiss them as if they are a normal thing. Reed Galen supports his argument by stating examples on how people are beginning to treat these tragedies and explain how the respond to them today. Galen's purpose is to inform the reader that people should actually take action on these situations instead of going to social media to give their condolences. Galen uses a serious tone to appeal to all Americans that they have to begin doing something to help.
Joy Day Buel and Richard Buel Jr., documented the life of Mary Fish, daughter of Reverend Joseph Fish and wife Rebecca Fish, in the book Way of Duty. Buel’s study was an in-depth analysis of how Mary Fish lived in New England during the eighteenth century. Mary Fish had to survive the tough times while her husband was off fighting during the Revolutionary War. She was left to raise two children while worrying if she would ever be able to see her husband again. The Revolutionary War was a tough period of time because it was the deciding factor if the American colonies would be separated from English rule.
If, injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere, then it follows that a man interested in justice must stop it, not just for his community, but for the good of all
Wiesel could have helped if he and the training and education, but alas, he was only a teenager in the middle of a genocide. Now reaching the last point, whether helping is the morally responsible choice and ethically right
What do you base your morals off of? That source may be the Quran, a philosopher, your mother, or the law. Most sources share the same belief in helping one another. As Elie Wiesel said, all humans must work together to take the responsibility to protect one another when acts of genocide occur. Protection is providing people with food, water, clothing, shelter, jobs, and education.
This letter provides an unbeatable argument against injustice “injustice anywhere
With the growth of society and the fast pace of everyday life, people had slowly forgotten their sympathy and ethical responsibility. In the “Can The Law Make Us Be Decent?” contributed by Jay Sterling Silver, he expresses his feeling of irritation how people goes unpunished even though they stood by to watch people dying. People should be punished for ignoring others in need of help because it’s inhumane. People should be penalized for overlooked the troubled one because they didn’t support those in need even though they have the ability to help. In the article, “If Decency Doesn’t, Law Should Make Us Samaritans” written by Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom is about the car crash of Princess Diana.
Also, Wiesel talks about if we do not help that we will hear their pain; "now we feel their pain, their agony?" (Wiesel, Perils). The consequences of not doing anything to help people from suffering becomes a big tragedy, just like the
If America wants to help countries prosper, America should use different
So, if helping the people who are struggling, puts their citizens lives at risk, they usually choose not to. Such as America not helping the citizens in North Korea, if America were to help that would put them at risk of starting a war and no one would want that. Barry R. Posen writes in the New York Times writes, “North Korea may have as many as 250 missile launchers. Some of which could fire nuclear tipped missiles. If some of these mobile units were dispersed at the time of an American attack, it’s unlikely that the US could destroy all of them before one fires a missile”.
(1) In his paper, “Is There a Duty to Die?” John Hardwig argues that some patients have a duty to die. According to Hardwig, who has a duty to die? What is his argument for this claim?
Injustices, tragedies, and unfortunate circumstances have plagued humankind for all of existence. Many of these problems have arisen from the society of man, and could not be found in nature. The hatred, selfishness, prejudice, and maliciousness seen in so many injustices man created unnecessarily, as well as all the suffering it causes does not need to exist. If an individual witnesses a crime or injustice occurring, it is their responsibility to defend the weak and fight for whatever is morally right, even at the cost of themselves.
This would provide everyone an opportunity to grow as a community and create a better bond with groups and individuals. One of my talents is that I am able to draw. I know you may be thinking “Hey other people can draw what would make you any different than the person next to me?” Well, with one of my other talents I am capable of doing
He supports the idea that human rights are a result of society. This is because he viewed human rights claims and institutions as being “unique”. He argues that human rights in an institution specific to particular culture and historic context and is in fact a human construction. Waters does not believe that all human rights do not involve all made against the state. Human rights can only include claims that are recognised as fundamental to a political community’s member’s humanity in Waters’ opinion.
The Amur Leopard is an animal that is usually known as the "zoo leopard" as it looks like what you would see when you think of a leopard. But this leopard is going extinct and it is only getting worse. The downsides of having the Amur Leopard going extinct are that other species will be overpopulated and being able to move a notch up the food chain. If this were to happen the ecosystem would be in a terrible state because other animals that are used to the Amur Leopard wouldn't be able to use it and such. If the Amur Leopards go extinct another species of animal will go extinct due to human activity like poaching, destruction of habitat, and pollution.
