The Cost Of Survival Analysis

Just like Konner said we do not follow the advice that we get from others or even each other because I know I don’t. Furthermore, I feel like we as individuals do overestimate some risks more than others because we do not look at the realities of the risks being taken. For instance, I know the consequences of my actions, and more importantly I know what I want, but no such knowledge exists because knowledge is imperfect.

The Greek Philosopher, Plato once said “A good decision is based on Knowledge, and not on numbers. What Plato means by this is when we make a quick decisions are going to rely on our instincts, and we will not consider the facts. Both the authors Suzanne Collins and William Shakespeare show that they agree with Plato through the quick decisions made by their characters. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare it is presented that when an event happens people will make selfish impulsive decisions. The author Suzanne Collins shows, in Catching fire, that, like Shakespeare, when something happens people will make quick decisions, but unlike Shakespeare she believes that it is our instinct to make these decisions selflessly.

Our world is advancing so this means that other unacceptable things will surface and cause problems because we give them the chance to arise. One of the things we can do to make this a better place is tell that someone 's in danger which will end up saving their lives. This relates to the article “To Tell or Not to Tell” which provides examples of when someone didn’t tell when their friends were in danger, so they lost their colleague to negligence. However, there are times when people do tell and they help their friends and possibly save their lives . Although some teens of “To Tell or Not to Tell” by Mary Kate Frank have argued that people don’t speak up because they’d rather not get in trouble or make their friends mad at them, closer examination shows you should speak up because if you don’t your friends could become severely hurt or die due to your actions.

William Shakespeare explores the idea of poor decisions leading to a downfall in his tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, as Juliet risks the safety and love of her family by putting herself in difficult situations.

When reading, Why Everest?, by Guy Moreau, it says, “...may have faced bad weather,...struggled up the icy slopes of the ‘death zone. ’‘A person cannot survive in this zone for more than two days because of the lack of oxygen and the extreme temperatures.’” Guy tells the reader that severe weather issues can happen at any time, and we have to be prepared for when it does get alarming, and we have to take precautions. Also, in the passage, Why Everest?, by Guy Moreau, it states, “... this problem has been made by the large number of climbers who want to conquer Everest….Climbers are delayed and can suffer exposure and use their precious supplies of oxygen.” This tells us that people are scared when they know that the weather can change dramatically at anytime, and loads of people who rather go on these adventures knowing rescue workers are there to help, if you anything were to happen.

Everybody makes mistakes. We have all been in a situation where we have made a made a bad choice. We all have our own unique self perceptions and worldviews, and sometimes they cause us to make impulsive decisions. There are plenty of examples of this reckless behavior in literature.
