Sealand's Philosophy In The Chrysalids

191 Words1 Page

The Chrysalids: Do you agree the Sealand’s philosophy
Is it ever justified to kill a human being? During the novel The Chrysalids Joseph Strorm was able to sterilize and destroy deviants, and was considered a genocide. The Sealand only killed for the greater good of the species, to save the species from annihilation. The reasons why I agree with the Sealand’s philosophy are that the species must change, and the human race must evolve. The Waknuk society and the Fringe Folk were bound to die, for being less technologically advance. Finally the Sealand women was protecting the telepaths from the perusing Waknuk posse, and the Dangerous Fringe Folk.

Joseph Strorm did not allow change or evolution in the society of Waknuk, keeping the community

  • Humanity In The Veldt And The Lottery

    1067 Words  | 5 Pages

    Some people see humans as a bright and inspiring species while some see the human race as an inexplicably evil and self absorbed group of primates. The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, The Cask Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson highlight these inexplicable acts of murder and inhumanity. For example, in The Veldt, two children allow their parents to be mauled by lions to enable the prolonged use of the nursery. In The Lottery, people are being killed for no reason only to abide by the ways of the society, and in The Cask Amontillado, a man is left to suffer and die in a catacomb as an act of revenge for a minor slight.

  • Rachel Carson Silent Spring Rhetorical Analysis

    518 Words  | 3 Pages

    When looking at that specific phrase it’s clear to the reader that Carson is insinuating that killing is becoming a habit of humanity, an idea that while may be true, isn’t usually made outright. Carson defies normal standards and isn’t afraid to confidently share her own opinion. In the sentence “[Animals] were doomed by a judge and jury who neither knew of their existence nor cared,” Carson continues to set a cynical backdrop that depicts humanity as evil. Now, while her tone may not be able to single handedly convince people to change their opinions, what it does do instead is contributes towards her claim that this is an irrefutable problem that requires decisive action. Her tone does this by inciting emotion into the reader.

  • Oppression Of Tyrants In Xenophon's Hiero By Simonides

    955 Words  | 4 Pages

    Xenophon, one of Socrates students, was a Greek general and soldier, as well as an active politician. He was also a widely acclaimed historian who has written many books. One of his more popular works is Xenophon’s Hiero, which is a dialogue between Hiero, a tyrant, and Simonides, a wise poet. The dialogue is a response to assumptions that the tyrant’s life is more pleasant than the life of private men. Hiero as someone who has lived both lives gives many reasons to break this misconception and prove the unhappiness state that he lives in because of his position as a tyrant.

  • Harman's Arguments Against Killing Animals

    497 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Elizabeth Harman, an action that kills an animal even painlessly, is an action that harms the animal. If we indeed have strong moral reasons against causing pain to animals, Harman argues we must also have strong moral reasons against killing animals. This raises an objection to the Surprising Claim, which states that we have strong reasons against causing intense pain to animals, but only weak reasons against killing animals. The First View claims that killing an animal deprives it of a positive benefit (future life) but does not harm the animal.

  • To What Extent Is Killing Justified In Of Mice And Men

    508 Words  | 3 Pages

    Killing another seems very unjustifiable, which might be the case but when someone takes another 's life and sent to prison, death row or capital punishment is needed to put that person were they belong. People like that deserve to die because of their mistake of killing another and it deters other people to not kill others, showing them what would happen. In the case of Capital Punishment, Hunting for Sport, or George and Lennie, killing is a justifiable act. In the case of capital punishment killing is justified and needs to be done. For example, “Some crimes are so inherently evil they demand strict penalties up to and including death”(McClatchy).

  • Killing Is Never Justified Research Paper

    847 Words  | 4 Pages

    I disagree with the statement “killing is never justified”. Killing another is never justified in some circumstances, but in other circumstances, killing can be justified. Killing cannot be justified if crime was intentional or was planned beforehand. This is murder because the event was planned and it one person was killed by another. For example, if someone plans to kill someone beforehand, then killing in that case will not be justified because that person did it knowingly.
