I don’t that human worth is the same for everyone because during the time of slavery the africans which are also humans were not treated the same as others. The africans were sold as slavery or property. The people who sold them didn’t think that they any human worth because the africans were treated as propertynot as human beings. Another thing is that some people actually do care about humans and think they have worth because for example if you have a child that child is worth something to you or valueable to you because you care for that child. I think that everyone don’t think alike when it comes to humans having worth of even being valuable.

I don’t think so, because some people are worth more than others. There also some that aren’t worth anything to some humans

Human worth is the same to everyone, in my opinion. I say this because no one should think or have more value then someone else. We were all born equal and you cant change that. I personally think human worth is something to not be worried about at all. No one wins something so whats the point of saying your more worthy. Its just worthless.
September 13, 2010 at 3:55 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone. Every human has something valueable in them. For example, intellegence is a factor that makes a human worth something valueable, that also goes for strength, individual mine, individual status, even their own individual body makes a human worth something and valueable. Even though one human might hate or love another human it will never affect how much their worth as a human because its the human itself and nobody else who makes themselves worth something. So a human will always be worth something even if one hates it or loves it. But in the present world, humans think they are more or less worthy than other humans, and do not see human worth is the same for everyone. But in conclusion, human worth is the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 3:59 pm |
In my opinion human worth is different for everyone else. The reason why i say so is because everyone is different and act differently so they have different types of worth to people such as a rude person human worth might be a low standard since his/her rudeness might affect his/her standard amongst other people. So the way you carry your self or the way you act around people might decide your human worth to another person. So remember the way you carry your self can decide the way that people may choose your human worth is.

Human Worth is not the same for everyone beacuse we all have different morals. For example, infants could be born with a sickness or a disease. But as we progress our minds become intelligent. Our intelligence can serve as our government, school, enviorment, and all over the world. Take in mind that they can ethier be for the good of human kind or the bad. For example, if you are appyling for a position, that position your applying for can ask of things that you dont have. Such as, being a fast type writer, well spoken person, etc. We each have different personalities, for example, some people are hard workers while others are lazy. This causes the other to have a greater advantage at geting that position. Also our action is what make us not have tha same value. Overall human beings do not have the same worth.

Is human worth the same for everyone? No I do not because I believe that human worth is the amount of sucess and accomplishments the person has achieved. Some have achieved more than others and others have yet to achieve what they are aiming for. Another reason why I believe human worth isn’t the same for everyone is because some people are considered or have more power than others which means that their is always going to be a ruler and someone is always going to have some control over you. And thats why I think human worth is not the same for everyone.____Lisbeth Rondon Section E

I think that in the resent years of life the answer changes depending on how you see it. Mostly depending on what is your talents makes you become a different value. Then there is the human worth to the military where as if you need to stop something from happening do you us innocent people to hurt even though they aren’t the problem. Finally in conclusion the human worth is priceless some can be more important than others sometimes
September 13, 2010 at 4:15 pm |
I Believe that human worth is the same for everyone , In class we debated on what human worth even meant, everyone has their own definition of what ‘human worth’ is. My definition of human worth, is being meaningful o someone else. everyone at some point or another has had someone in there life who has meant something to them, as the same for them. I believe that even what society thinks are the worst people in the world, have value, and have the same amount of worth as a politician or someone high in class. Everyone is worth the same , in my opinion because everyone has at least one person who has had a meaning in there life. Everyone is different, each person is who they are whether that be a criminal, politician, a homeless person or a person with a disability we are all equal when it comes to human worth. Because at some point in our life we have met someone was meaning full to us
September 13, 2010 at 4:39 pm |
i do not think human is worth the same for everyone. why? because everyone is different and every one views everyone else differently depending on how they are and who they are. Heres a great example, Donald Trump is rich he is living a happy life and is enjoy it, to him life is a comedy. Then theres a bum in the streets that has nothing and has a tragic life. if Donald Trump comes in the room your in and your sitting only because he’s rich your going to get up and offer him your chair while you are just trying to stay as far as you can away from the bum. so human is not worth the same for everyone.

Human worth is the same for everyone but sometimes what
looks right for one person doesn’t for the other. in the end it all
comes down to your own opinion and way of thinking some people believe
every person is equal to the other and some people may believe they are
better than others or “worth” more.
September 13, 2010 at 4:52 pm |
is human worth the same for everyone ? i think everybody are equal, the only difference is that some people do the best to be the best so probably thats why they are treated different but if they didnt work hard to be the best they would be treated like everyone alse. Like Obama, if he didnt worked really hard to be the President he wouldnt be the President right now.

I believe that human worth isn’t the same for everyone. I believe that it depends on who and where they are from, people can be from many places but sometimes they may not have what others have to make a change in the world. People that can make a change are for those that have a chance already. Human worth depends on who you are, well what i believe.
September 13, 2010 at 5:03 pm |
Human worth isn’t the same for everyone because not all humans feel the same towards others. some humans think that someone in their family is worth more than a stranger on the street. Human worth can be decided by how much respectful, caring, and loving your are to a person. People that you know and respect might be worth to you more than someone you don’t respect. So, my opinion is that Human worth is not the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 5:07 pm |
To me human are not worth the same to everyone because everybody have different opinions. Also, in some part of the world humans don’t have the same right as other humans in a different part of the world. President Obama is more valuable than a regular person because he’s the president of U.S.A. And, in most countries you have to do what your ruler says and if it were a regular person just saying it nobody would listen to them, but since it’s a ruler saying it then, people do listen to them. So, to conclude i don’t think humans are worth the same.
September 13, 2010 at 5:09 pm |
yes, i believe that humanworth is the same, because when you take all the title, money, and power away you get nothing but a simple human being. but in our society people don’t really think about it, because there are ranks. for example children that was born into a family that owns a company will inherit that company from their father. but if you take away that power, wealth, etc. you get a simple person. mass murders, childmolsters, etc. are the same as us. take away what makes them a ba person and you get a simple human being with problems. human worth is all same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 5:11 pm |
I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone because each person has their own personal views. For Example, I personally believe that everyone was born equally and has the same amount of human worth, regardless of the good or bad decisions that they made during their lifetime. I also think that even a criminal has the same amount of human worth of a Judge official. Although some may say the exact opposite and disagree with me because they believe that because of there bad decisions the criminals have made made their human worth value lessen
September 13, 2010 at 5:12 pm |
I think human worth should not be really that important. If people start to pay attention to human worth this world won’t be right, it will be like everyone has a special number that represents how worthy they are. Some people only care about their loved ones so to them human worth is worthless. People should not care about human worth because if they do they will only care for some people, and not for others, which shouldn’t happen because people need to care about their society in order for progress and stability to occur. Every one should think everyone is born equal so that everyone can care for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 5:12 pm |
I think every human worth different. It depends on how important this human to the society and how this human is important to another human. An everyday person may not worth the same as presidents, famous artists, famous scientist and etc. They’re more valued because they contributed more to the society. Presidents take the responsibility of the country; scientists create new invention; and artists make songs and painting to entertain us. Sometimes our parents or people who help us are more valued than an artist or any other famous people.
September 13, 2010 at 5:15 pm |
In my opinion, human worth is not the same for everyone. Some people value others just when they know for sure that the person did something good. Some take the time to know other people but there are others that don’t. Every person should be worth the same. In society, racism is an example of people saying that people of another race aren’t worth the same. Also, poor people are seen as people of less human worth in society because of their lack of money since some people think money makes a person better.
September 13, 2010 at 5:18 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. Even though you can’t put a price on a person, some people contribute more to society so it makes them more “valuable” in the world. For example, a person who has a very successful job probably contributes more to society than a homeless man. Even though some people might try to argue that a person isn’t valued by success, that’s one of the first things people notice about one another. In conclusion, human worth is not the same for everyone because many people aren’t treated as equally and as fairly as they should be treated.
September 13, 2010 at 5:19 pm |
Human worth is a value a certain person has on the world. For example, the President, Kings/Queens, and even parents. Human worth also depends on peoples view of you.
September 13, 2010 at 5:33 pm |
I think that human worth is different for each people depending on how good they are at certain things. Whethere you are smart or athletic. For example NBA player are payed millions and millions of dollars to play the sport. A normal person wouldn’t have been payed to play the sport. So this proves that human worth isn’t the same on every person, but it depents on what the person can do that puts a price on them.
September 13, 2010 at 5:45 pm |
Is human worth the same for everyone?
I think that humans are worth the same, because we are all humans so we are all equal. I also think that not all humans are worth the same, I think that also depends on who that certain person is. I think that what this question is asking is, do all humans have equal power and are all humans equal? I think that it really does depend on who you are, because for example President Obama, is worth more than other people because he is the president so he is a very importnat person. I believe that the President is worth more because he does have a lot of power. In conclusion I think that yes, human worth is equal to everyone else but then at the same time I also think that no, not all humans worth is equal because it may depend on who you are as a person.
September 13, 2010 at 5:49 pm |
To me, human worth is not the same for everone, because my definition for human worth is someone that can offer their god given talent to improve their well being or the communities well being. Therefore if you do not have anything to contribute to your community, your human worth is really low in my eye’s.
September 13, 2010 at 5:51 pm |
Human worth isn’t the same for everyone because we all have different views on the ethics of humans. Therefore we all view the values of humans differently.
September 13, 2010 at 5:52 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. I say this because, first of all, people are raised in different environments. If you are raised in a habitat in which those who raised you teach you how to be civil, then your human worth is at a higher standard. However, if you are raised in a home in which you were taught to be violent and/or barbaric, your standard is not high because you did not know any better. It is likewise if someone is brought up in a home in which the parent didn’t know any better either. In this case, the child would have no knowledge of being a regular human being who provided for his/her family when s/he grew up. In conclusion, you are what you were taught to be as a child, and if you teach yourself how to be a better person, your standard is set higher as one who knows more. – Gaetano Martello, Section B, 10th Grade, 9/13/2010
September 13, 2010 at 5:58 pm |
I don’t think human worth is the same for everybody is because human worth is deceided on the person’s knowledge. For example, a students human worth can be much less than a science teacher’s because the science teacher knows more than the student. Some times human worth can also be depended on how much expirience the other person has. Some people were just born with really smat brains. So thats why I think human worth is not the same for everything.
September 13, 2010 at 6:08 pm |
Yes it is the same because in the past, every one was a no body which means they were all equal an the same (early human times), but then in the future things started to develop and civilizations were choosing rulers and kings. They were probably “Worth” more than somebody like a peasant.
September 13, 2010 at 6:12 pm |
I think all human worth is the same to everyone. I think this because everybody should be treated equally. All human are the same and no one is better than someone else. For example, a student who gets better grades and a student who get bad grades doesn’t mean that the student who gets better grade is better it just means that they are better in that subject. In conclusion, all human should treat each other the way they want to be treated.
September 13, 2010 at 6:13 pm |
I think that human worth is the same for everyone. I have this pinion because like it was stated in class when we are born we are all the same. we have all the same rights and we all act basically the same. It is what we do and what we achieve that determines who we turn out to be and what we end up doing in our lives, but at the end when we die all we have all of our possessions and achievements don’t matter anymore we do not take that with us it’s just left behind and it is just pieces of papers that judge who we are and what we use to be based on what people value you as. But human worth to me is just what others try to value you as but not what you value yourself as.
September 13, 2010 at 6:21 pm |
Every one is worth the same because someone is important to at least one person. No one is more special then somebody else.Its like pick who dies and who doesnt die its hard to pick because no ones life is more valuable then somebody else life.
September 13, 2010 at 6:28 pm |
I think that Human Worth is the same for everyone because all people come to this world for a reason. That reason is to do what they plan to do for their lives and make their own choices like wanting to be a baseball player, computer engineer, and something that really interest you in living in this world. That’s what I think Human Worth means to me.
September 13, 2010 at 6:28 pm |
I feel that human worth is not the same for everyone because there are many humans in the world that have different personalities and behaviors. Some humans in this world do things that are useful in their lives such as communicate with other people and do fun things and explore the world. But there are some people in this world that just waste their lives doing nothing and being bored by not having fun and not trying to be entertained. Also there are humans in this world that are dictators while torturing and hurting people for the please such as Adolf Hitler. I feel that human worth is not the same for everyone because some humans are making positive choices that a human should do while some are making negative choices a human should not do. Lastly, human worth is a good thing for people because they can do things and make new inventions that people haven’t seen and would dream for in a millions years so human worth is good and I think all humans should be proud that they are alive.
September 13, 2010 at 6:31 pm |
I think that human worth is the same for everyone. Yes there are people who should not exist on this planet and should be vanish for all the harm they have done to this world. However, I think human worth has to do with what it is you are contributing to your environment and world surrounding you. Whether it is good or bad we are all worth something to someone and so we are equal. For whatever reason a criminal committed what they did, it is because they are missing something important in their lives and they are not capable of seeing beyond these obstacles. It could be love, the feeling of importance, happiness, and most importantly family. Everyone is worth something. If they are on the side of crime which is what some of us are fighting against, they become a reason and a purpose to keep working and striving to make this world a better place. Maybe the human worth of a criminal does not interest you but the human worth he or she has for his/her family is a lot which led them to mug someone, maybe even kill. So we all are worth the same, some just are special to others for the good they have brought. We all see things from different perspectives and so to us maybe not everyone has the same human worth.
September 13, 2010 at 6:32 pm |
No, humans are not worth the same to many people. Different people view humans in different ways. There was a time when humans were able to be sold and traded as slaves. Currently humans have their own right and they can choose whether they want to be “sold”. There are cases where humans are controlled by others such as when you have a job and you have to pay close attention to what your boss says. Basically without man kind we wouldn’t exactly have as much accomplishments as we do now, so because of their build up, humans have proved to be worth something in the end.
September 13, 2010 at 6:37 pm |
No, Human worth is not the same for everyone. I think that people value it different than others. Some people just sit around and do nothing, while others are working hard to succced. I believe that every human worth is different. Also it depends on how people view human worth.
September 13, 2010 at 6:38 pm |
Human worth is and isn’t the same for everyone, it depends on how you define human worth. If you define human worth on a persons actions and their wise and responsible decisions then a doctor is worth more than a regular person because a doctor saves more people, or atleast tries to. But if you define human worth as how people think of you and if people love and care for you then, a regular person is worth more because they are being loved and supported by others, and are also somebody in life. In a way human worth is the same for everyone because we are all humans and we should be treated equally. But as I said, it depends on how you define human worth.
September 13, 2010 at 6:38 pm |
Yes, I believe that human worth is the same for everyone. To me, human worth is the value of a person to other people that they have come in contact with and affected throughout their lifetime, no matter how long or short it was. It doesn’t matter if they affected one person or a billion people. A single human, being alive, is affecting people no matter what their occupation was, how much money they made, where they lived, or how they lived. Some people assume others are worthless because they are blinded by the material possessions that others have. I strongly believe that everyone has human worth simply because they are human. An example that supports my opinion is when a person falls unexpectedly in a crosswalk. Most people have an automatic reaction to assist them to safety. Usually, we don’t stop to evaluate the person and judge them before being compelled to act. All we see is a person. They would not be left in the middle of the street to be harmed. The main point is that everyone has human worth, or the rest of humanity would walk by them and leave them there. It wouldn’t matter if it was the richest man alive, or the homeless guy on the corner begging for money every day, or the middle class mailman. Everyone has human worth!
September 13, 2010 at 6:42 pm |
Yes human worth is the same for everyone. Human worth is the same for everyone because everyone is worth something to someone else. For example: A Family; The mother, father, and son or daughter are human worth because they are valuable to each other. They are valuable because they all love each other in the family. Another example is: If you murder someone you are still human worth because you are valuable to someone else, maybe your family, or the police is looking for you because you are valuable to them. So himan worth is the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 6:43 pm |

So human worth is the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 6:47 pm |
My opinion on the above statement is that human worth is not the same for everyone. The reason why I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone is because when you look at people with a higher authority, they are treated differently than the common people. For example, if someone important passes away or gets married it would make headlines and cause everybody to stop and pay attention…STRANGERS! If the common people were to get married it wouldnt make headlines…matter of fact, it wouldnt make a big deal that would cause the media to show up. Another example of this is history. People back then were not treated the same. Like the peasants and the people who were wealthy. Like a good example would be during the time when there were social structures. If you were at the very bottom of the pyramid, you didnt get the same rights as everybody that was above you. So therefore i believe that human worth is not the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 6:49 pm |
I believe that the current society does not value human worth. Mainly, because day by day many murders,homicides, and suicides happen.
Also, because many people judge. For example; Criminals they commit a minor crime and all sudden their life is worth less than a innocent citzen. Many times we like to think that everyone has the same human worth. But deep inside we have taught to judge, we think that any one in poverty has less human worth than some one rich and famous.
September 13, 2010 at 6:53 pm |
Is human worth the same for everyone?
No.because people are worth different values. Another reason why human worth is not the same for everyone is because everyone acts and thinks differently. I feel this way because anyone can be worth something and be valuable, but not everyone feels tthe same way. That’s why I feel this way.
September 13, 2010 at 6:55 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. If there was a negotiation between saving somebody famous and powerful, willing to do something in this world or someone that lives on the street, people would go with the first one. Most of human worth goes into politics. In the forming Soviet Russia, the rich that opposed of giving all their belonging’s to the state, were prosecuted. In Nazi-Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe Jews were prosecuted and put to work in camps. Most of human worth is politics, if the government of a country says that a certain group of people is a threat, there will be prosecutions. Human worth is different for everyone. The point is that humans will kill until there are no humans left.
September 13, 2010 at 6:58 pm |
Human worth isn’t the same for everyone. Theres children and theres the elderly. The elderly seem the most human worth since they are the ones that have all the experience from there living. Compare children to the elderly and you’l see very big differences. Children are human worth but not as much as elderly. There are people around the world that don’t get an education so that makes us ore human worth wouldn’t it? Elderly people are wise,intelligent and have gone through stuff you wouldn’t even imagine. They are worth much more then young unexperienced people in my opinion.
September 13, 2010 at 7:01 pm |
In my opinion human worth is not the same for everyone. Some people have more worth than others. But everyone has worth, from president Obama to a homeless person. They just influence people in different ways. Like the president may influence people to be a better citizen or to be a successful person in life, and a homeless person may show people the dangers of not having an successful job or not being a good student. Every one has worth and are able to change people for the better.
September 13, 2010 at 7:01 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone because each person has their own idea of how much they are worth as a human. There idea is affected by media, their morals and even their country’s history. For instance, there are many African Americans who feel they are worth less than people of lighter color because of slavery, media and society in general. Other people feel they are worth more than other for the same reasons. There are many people in the world that thing very highly of them selves. One example is King Louis XIV, who believed himself to be the “Sun King”. He thought without him, France would not survive just like how humans can not survive with the Sun. This proves that he thought his life was worth more than anyone in France.
September 13, 2010 at 7:08 pm |
I believe that human worth is the same for everyone because since we all humans we have all have the rights to speak and tell others what you feel. Also, i believe that we all have the chance to became anything you want. Human worth is very important to us because in some way it shows who you really are. This is why i think human worth is the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 7:09 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone because everyone was born for a reason. Life is given to everyone to live it and live it the way a person wants it to be lived. When an individual does something that another person would like at you wrong for than the human worth changes. Sexual predators have a different human worth because they are disrespectful innocent people who have done nothing wrong but live life.
September 13, 2010 at 7:12 pm |
I think that people are worth to different people.I say this because human value is different to everybody. For example a baby would be more wor th to the mother then a person that the mother does not know. That is what i think of the question, Is human worth the same for everyone?
September 13, 2010 at 7:17 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone because we all are created equal. No one is made differently. People may be born out of different families but all made the same. Everyone is human, that is why each and every human is the same just probably from different places and social classes.
September 13, 2010 at 7:22 pm |
I believe that human worth is how much good someone has inside of them. It is also what they have done in their past and everyone is worth something as long as they have a soul.
September 13, 2010 at 7:22 pm |
As a person living for as long as I have, I have come to learn that not everyone is treated equally; nor is everyone valued the same. Some reasons why this can occur, could be because of ones impeccable knowledge on a subject, or the desire to be or do something great. I believe that ‘self-worth’ can be based upon ones self ambition and strife to be come something. To worth, is to try, and to try can be to fail. For some people that can be enough to let them squander their talents and make themselves of no value. If someone wants to be something, they should be able to become what they want. Everybody has to start some where. Self value, starts within!
September 13, 2010 at 7:27 pm |
I think that human worth as a lot to do with the different generations. Someone from an older generation may have a higher worth than somebody from my generation because that other person has been alive for a longer period of time so they know more. Like me i may not have as much human worth as my older sister because she knows more than me but once i get older my human worth will grow with my age. Now people older than me teach me things but in a few years i will be teaching other people younger than me who have less human worth.
September 13, 2010 at 7:29 pm |
I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone. Each person has their own abilities that others might have however, because of the difference in their age their knowledge towards the ability will be at a different level. For example, two people who are artists. Both are able to painit, do sculptures, photography, etc. nevertheless the artist that is older has a more advance knowledge towards using the materials and skills in order to be a better artist. The younger artist will need to experience more knowledge to reach the point where he/she becomes a professional artist. Since everyone is at a different stage we have to remember that they are going to experience different things as they develop a stronger knowledge on the ability/subject. Although, everyone’s human worth is very valuable it is use, defined, and practiced in different ways.
September 13, 2010 at 7:35 pm |
I feel that human worth seems different for everyone, but in my opinion I feel that we are all the same. Everyone does play a different role in every society and some people may seem more important than others. For example, a doctor may seem to be more beneficial in society in comparison to a homeless man. However, no matter what place anyone has in society, everyone will end up having the same fate. We are all just people wondering about our true purpose in the world. Although some people seem to be greater than others, we are all just creatures with no true idea what will be the outcomes to our lives.
September 13, 2010 at 7:37 pm |
I would say that human worth is in a way equal for all humans, but at the same time not equal. I would say that human worth is equal for everyone because we are all the same. If we are all the same, then it means we are worth the same as someone who committed a crime? I say that everyone is born with equal worth. Once you change the way you affect your society, then your worth is lowered. For example, a baby doesn’t know much but will grow up and have the same worth as every human. I do believe that once you’re looked at in a wrong way, then your worth begins to be lowered around other humans.

I truly belive that human worth is the same for everyone. Each person is to be treated equally as a human. I also think humans worth also depends on the works from that human. All humans lives should be worth the same . But is also depending on the person. The persons’ interest and situation on something. Sometime one humans life is worth more than several peoples life. Ex : Obama is the president of the US. If they kill Obama everyone will gather and become closer just for that one important person.
September 13, 2010 at 7:38 pm |
Yes Human worth is the same for everyone. Everyone has human worth in this world aslong as you’re still breathing. it doesn’t matter What you do, whether it is a good thing or bad. Aslong as you are alive in this world, You are responsible for something. Therefore I believe human worth is the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 7:46 pm |
Yes, i believe human worth is the same for everyone. This is because we are all treated the same for example we are all respected. We all deserve to be treated with dignity. We are all human so we all should have the same rights. Every human is unique for what they do and should be allowed to show the community.
September 13, 2010 at 7:48 pm |
I believe that speaking generally human worth is equal for everyone. I think this because, every single person has some kind of value to others in some way. Everyone is different of course but we all have a purposes in life at least from my opinion. I believe a lot of people think that others are beneath them because they might not be as smart or have a disability. And sometimes big impacts from certain people won’t always change things. Sometimes the smallest things people do can have a larger impact.
September 13, 2010 at 7:51 pm |
Human worth might or might not be the same for certain people. I think it is based on our human nature rather than what we do. Everyone has there own opinion of who has more or less human worth. Yes, some people may be considered more important than others, but does that really have to do with human worth? To answer the question, I believe that human worth is the same for everyone because we are all born the same way and will eventually die. In the end we all become the earth and soil, and this makes us all equal, apart from the things we accomplish.
September 13, 2010 at 7:52 pm |
Human-worth isn’t the same for everyone because, not everyone gets the same rights as others. Till this day there is slavery, a lot of violence around the world with the less worth people against the richer people. Not only that homeless people are increasing & people with money which is more worth don’t do nothing about it. In this world, nothing can be fair anymore & I don’t know how long this will keep going but there will always be two sides. But since we’re all use to it, no one will really pay attention to who’s worth more or not. This is my point of view of Human-worth.
September 13, 2010 at 7:55 pm |
Human worth is definitely equal for all humans because no matter what you do you still are human. It may be different in a sense of the levels of it but we are all human. No matter what you are, black, white, brown yellow or green we were all born with equality. Like a criminal and myself have the same human worth because we’re humans. Human worth is life, just because this person is a criminal it doesn’t make him/her any less of a human. It may give him a reputation as a “Bad” person but we wont know that he is still human and he is not better or worse then anyone else, therefore he was the same human worth as everyone else.
September 13, 2010 at 7:58 pm |
I think that human worth is the same for everyone. Some people are more important to everyone because of popularity. For example the president of the United States is obviously more important because he is the president and the future of the U.S.A depends on him. In my opinion human worth is all about who you are and what you do.
September 13, 2010 at 8:04 pm |
Human worth is certainly not the same for everyone. I don’t think human worth is the same for everyone because some people don’t value there selves as much as others do. Some people don’t take life as serious, and think life is a joke. Those who don’t appreciate life do not deserve life. Wanting to advance one self is a gift from God. You must approve of yourself the way you are, and give thanks to God that you are the person that he made you.
September 13, 2010 at 8:06 pm |
Human is worth the same for everyone. Everyone is the same, there is no cost on the human life nor can it be bought. Where are all the same even if all of us have some sort of flaw but that is what makes us human. We wouldn’t be ourself without it. Even thought there are people who rob,or steal they have the same value as us and we are all the same in this planet we all live in as one.
September 13, 2010 at 8:06 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone, because not all humans value their worth. Many commit murders showing that they do not value the worth of others. Another example is slaves, the people who would degrade them did not care whether or not they had worth or value, but when it came to themselves they would think they had the utmost worth. Another struggle that shows this is the fight for equality, because many people in like ancient civilizations had classes, and divisions, dividing their worth, not all people thought of their value the same as other.
September 13, 2010 at 8:11 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. Many people have different views based on their own experiences or beliefs. I believe children have more worth then the elderly. I say this because the elderly can no longer do anything to really contribute, but us kids still have our whole lives ahead of us and who knows what we can and will accomplish in the future. We have more to offer the world. Knowledge or experience isn’t what really determines how much a human is worth rather how much potential one has. It is also determined by what can that person can do later on in life. This is my view on the question.
September 13, 2010 at 8:15 pm |
To me human worth is not the same for everyone. I say this because I think that there are people that are more valuable then others. For example if you had to save the president of the United States or some mother from Florida. Most people will save the president because he is a much more valuable person to other people in the world. Everyone in the world is considered as equals but in reality that is not the case.
September 13, 2010 at 8:24 pm |
Although humans are all equal because we were created by God etc our human worth isnt the same. Human worth to me is the motivtion, inspiration and achievements that one has done in life giving us/or others a reason to live. Example-One that dies without a diploma doesnt have the same human worth as another who died with a GED and/or college diploma. The one with the college diploma/GED died with achievements while the other didnt have that but just spend life survivingg. Our human worth depends on our achievements i believe and how we have changed others and the future. We are all equal but with different human worth and achievements.
September 13, 2010 at 8:24 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone. Everyone who is currently alive has human worth because no matter what they do they are serving some kind of purpose in this worl if they’re a homeless person or if they are wealthy. We are all able to choose our own destiny and choose what we want in life whether we want to be a hard worker or not work hard at all. Since everyone has the freedom to do anything they want we all have some kind of human worth, yet with some things might come consequences and other acts might be rewarded. Some humans might be worth more than another in society but everyone is worth something and serves some sort of purpose.
September 13, 2010 at 8:25 pm |
I think that human worth is not the same for everyone because everyone is different in this world. Nobody has the same feature or problems. Also, an adult has way more human worth than what a teenager have. Therefore, I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone .
September 13, 2010 at 8:27 pm |
Is human worth the same for everyone?
No.human worth is not the same for everyone because everybody has their own way of thinking. Not everyone has the same opinion or agrees with one another. I think human worth is the value of a person to others. I feel this way because everyone acts differently to other peoples values. That’s the reason why I feel this way.
September 13, 2010 at 8:29 pm |
Basically, i believe that “Human Value” is not the same for everyone. This is because of the different amount of contributions people have within their relationships, school, and society. For example, someone may have value within their family because of the contributions he/she makes in order to help make/support that family. Some people make more contributions than others do to their society, which leads to them being valued differently. Based on the contributions people make, I belive that, people have different values, both, in their society and in the eyes of others.
September 13, 2010 at 8:29 pm |
I believe that human worth is the same for everyone. I believe this so because we are all human and are born the same way noone is worth more that anyone else everyone is the same. I value the humanity if anyone be it the Queen of England or the homeless guy at the 181 st train stop they are worth the same no matter what their social status is. A life is a Life no matter how insignificant it might seem, it’s still as important as the more noticeable ones.
September 13, 2010 at 8:29 pm |
I think human worth is not the same for everyone because people live different lives, and have different opinions on things. All the people in the world don’t get the same rights as others usually because how they were raised or the enviorment they’re living in. People can be homeless and others can be rich but everyone has worth just in a different way. So it’s not the same for everyone. It’s like from the point of view of the eyes of a homeless man or of a person that’s famous. One of them are more likely to feel like they’re worth something then the other just for the fact that they’re not getting as much attention as for example the famous person.
September 13, 2010 at 8:31 pm |
I think human worth is not the same for everyone. Human worth is not the same for everyone because people judge others in different ways. There are people that judge you from your appearance, skin color and content of ones character. However, i feel that everyones equal but society judges us base on class and race.
September 13, 2010 at 8:34 pm |
I think that human worth is the same for everyone. Everyone is exactly the same with minute differences in their DNA.Everyone is really worthless because, come on, there are just too many people for us to get to know each other and really mean something in each other’s lives.
In the end, we’ll only end up a statistic. People are made out to be greater than they really are because they might have done something worth of being recognized. But even these people end up being categorized into a group with people like themselves.
September 13, 2010 at 8:36 pm |
I think that you can’t really compare two people beacuse nobody is perfect in the world we live on. so no one really knows how much some body is really worth but even if someone did judge how can they really know how much that person is worth nobody really know how to. Would they be judge on the income they get or how important to somebody?
September 13, 2010 at 8:38 pm |
I really dont believe that human worth is the same for everyone. The reason why i say this is because everyone has their own opinion when it comes to how to respect and love yourself. If you dont feel there is a reason for you to have self respect then the way you feel about human worth would be totally different than someone who feels self respect is the best thing in the world to have. So obviously your view about human worth would be different than the opinion of another who values themself more than you do. I feel that human worth is based off of your intellectual standard basically meaning that if you have a certain way of thinking, which would be clear and nonjudgmental, then you can be successful in life and be humanly worth more. Not because of the amount of money you make but becasue of the way you went about gaining your success. Others may disagree but thats what makes human worth different for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 8:41 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. Those who contribute to society and do something meaningful towards others or towards the world in general, have more human worth. Those who steal and kill and are responsible for all the bad things in this world have little human worth, because the world could do without them. Those who do things like commit suicide also have little or no self worth because they do not value their life, therefore they have no worth for it. So in summary I think human worth just depends on what you do and how you life your life.
September 13, 2010 at 8:42 pm |
the human worth is different for everybody because not everybody does the same thing, and because everybody is their own individual. a good example of this is a thief, he wont be treated the same as everybody because he did something wrong, so he is going to get treated bad to learn his lesson, after he learns than he will be treated the same.
September 13, 2010 at 8:47 pm |
Human worth isn’t the same for everyone. I think that human worth isn’t the same for everyone because everyone has a different amount of ideas or sort of like progress to add to the world. A person might find the cure for a disease that will save thousands of people while another might live life as a couch potato therefor the person that found the cure is worth more. I think that value depends on what you decide to do with your life. In my opinion I think everyone can have a equal minimum of human worth but there can never be a maximum for you can never know how far a human might go in adding on to the country or the world.
September 13, 2010 at 8:48 pm |
I don’t think human worth the same for everyone. Some people might worth more, and some people might worth less. Because people who work hard would have a greater effect on his family and society. On the other hand, there are some people who only contribute a little for his family and society. From my point of view, human worth differently by their contribution. No pay no gain. You won’t worth anything if you just sitting their all day. Also, individualism is important to human worth. Everyone is different, everyone is unique. We can’t range different together. Overall, people don’t worth the same.
September 13, 2010 at 8:51 pm |
Human Worth is not the same for everyone. I think that Human Worth is the collection of opinions of everyone around you and how they see you as an individual. Depending on your situation , people could think that you very important which means they think you are of high value, while a stranger could careless of you an think you have a low value. Human Worth is a man made value of a person and its different for everyone in everyones point of view.
September 13, 2010 at 8:54 pm |
In my opinion nobody is worth anything we are all humans and we are all going to die one day. And at the same time i think that human or not worth the same because some people compare two different people and like they say that person is better than that person because she works as a teacher while that other girl works at McDonald so they saying that the teacher is better than the person who works in McDonald. In conclusion i think that humans are not worth anything and i think people shouldn’t judge anybody or put a value on someone.
September 13, 2010 at 9:01 pm |
Human worth is definitely the same for everyone even if you may have done bad things or even good things. These things don’t determine if you have more human worth or not. Instead they show what type of person you are. I say this because everyone doesn’t have the ability to do things that can make a difference, so I feel every human has the same value. Also human worth is the same even for criminals because even though they did bad things that still doesn’t take away from their worth. Instead, it only makes them less of a good person. In the end, human worth can be classified into different ideas such as, what you are worth to someone and what you did in life. These ideas show that everyone has human worth no matter what your life is like.
September 13, 2010 at 9:02 pm |
I feel that human worth is not the same for everyone. I say that because still to this day there is no equality for all humans. Some people get treated unfairly compared to others due to how people view them. If something were to happen to the president it would obviously have more meaning to it then if something were to happen to a normal citizen. I think there should be eual human worth for everyone but i don’t see that happening.
September 13, 2010 at 9:02 pm |
So, human value is something that begins to make you think, you cannot just assume that one person has more value than another. Though if the person would have to be chosen as more valuable, it would be for certain reasons for certain situations. One way to put a value on a person is how they give back to the world. When we are born we have general equal value, we all just eat sleep and waist, nothing back to the world. Until we grow and learn about how to act and choose actions then after that we gain skills that help or hurt the world. Though what determens the most valuable person is if they have change history for good. Though the least valuable people are considered the murderers or the holocaust leaders or the economists of today and the sloth people who don’t do any thing, all of these people hurt or do nothing for our world. Some examples of valuable people are religious leaders, presidents (most cases), doctors, etc. These people do things to our country so that we can move on and progress. If a person is mentally sick or dying, i believe they are not very useful. They cannot do anything that contributes. Well Not exactly, if they have communication and thinking skills they can be useful, like Steven Hawkins, a disable man known as the smartest man alive. If they are old, they may have used to have value but now they may just do nothing. They could have been important people in the past but now they aren’t as as useful now. Overall, what values a person is not what he did or will do, but what he/she has done reasently for this world and how big an impact they have been.
September 13, 2010 at 9:17 pm |
Is the human worth the same for everyone? No! because not everyone is the same. In my opinion everyone has a different skill to change the world.Some people are valuable then others. This is because, is what the person personality depends on. Some people are better doing somethings than others. For example: one,person could be great at drawing but not everybody is great at drawing.Everybody has their own skill to valuable a person. In this world that we live in many people see it different , and that why people have theiir own opinion in certain.Since everybody has their on skill, their own opnion on things human worth would not be the same.
September 13, 2010 at 9:19 pm |
I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone. Why? Because All human is valuable in a different way. Ex: A person who’s rich and has the power to control something, would get more respect\ more attention than a lower class person, that does own anything.
September 13, 2010 at 9:21 pm |
Yes Because you are important to at least one person in the world. And a persons worth is just an opinion. People are important to different people for different reasons. I Might not be famous but my worth is the same. Maybe not on such a broad range as a person that is famous. But the same.
September 13, 2010 at 9:23 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone. Many people may say that certain people such as the president, singers, and rich people are very worthy, but it doesn’t matter about what you do that makes you worthy. A person’s worth is measured by how valuable they are to other people. Every person has their own value in different ways and that value is from their family, their peers, their surroundings, and by how much they have in their society. Also by how much value they believe that they have in themselves. Although people can be above you in value, by how much money they have and what they own, but every persons worth is the same.
September 13, 2010 at 9:28 pm |
Is the human worth the same for everyone? NO! because not everyone is the same. Everyone has their own different skill to change the world.Some people are valuables then others. This is becausue is what the person personality depends on. Some people are better doing things than others.For example:one persong could be great at drawing but not everybody great at drawing. Everybody has their own skill to value that special person. In this world everybody has their own skill, opinion. Human worth could be important to everyone becuase is something that depends on you. We the people dont worth anything, what worth is what we are and where we come from.
September 13, 2010 at 9:34 pm |
Human worth is the same for everyone because we all are humans, we are treated all the same and equal. Like theres people that work hard to be worth something in life and not just sit there and doing nothing with their life. So we are just not worth the same, everybody is different in there own way.
September 13, 2010 at 9:35 pm |
Human worth to me is not the same for everyone. Everybody has their own point of view on human worth. I believe human worth is priceless and you can’t put a number on it. Even if you’re good or bad, I still believe your human worth is priceless. You may have a disability or a disadvantage from everyone in the world, but who says you’re not as special as the person without it. To other people, human worth is not the same because of society and discrimination in the world. Because of past times people think other people are not as equal and are worthless because of slavery. To other, we all are worthless but, to me we all are priceless.
September 13, 2010 at 9:36 pm |
Human worth is not the same for everyone. The reason being is because not everyone is going to have the same perspective on ones life. For example one could have grown up in an enviornment where only strength was a needed factor for the benifit of others, now from this person’s perspective a highly intelligent yet frail/weak man may appear to him as a less valuble man compared to a strong not so bright fellow. As for if another person grew up where knowledge is highly used for the benifit of others rather than strength, the strong not so bright fellow may have a lesser value than the frail weak intelligent man. Thus showing some people may base human value on talent, appearence, intelligence, streangth, and factors as such based on where they come from. It’s all based on the persons perspective of what they consider to be value. As for my opinion everyone is loved by at least one person or living thing, thus making everyone have some sort of sentimental human value. Leading me to my personal conclusion that no one shall be considered valueless in my opinion.
September 13, 2010 at 9:42 pm |
No, human worth isn’t the same for everyone. Someone who has contributed to society in a positive way deserves a much higher human worth, than a person who has killed or done harm to another human being. Another reason I believe this is, because people who strive to achieve something positive in life, are people who have morals and determination. Because, they stand to contribute more to society at large. These people hold a higher value or worth than, those who are less determined and have less moral strength. so they, are more likely to give less to society.
September 13, 2010 at 9:55 pm |
My idea on human worth is that it’s an opinion judged by other people. Generally, human worth is really nothing because in the end you are still living in the same world and you end up dying all together. Also, the world does not stop for you and life goes on. It’s only a matter of time before another human is going to be judged on how much they are worth.
September 13, 2010 at 10:03 pm |
I think human worth is the same for everyone is born with the same value and equality you just have to learn to use it in the correct ways and earn your respect from everyone else. If everyone else doesn’t respect you I don’t think you are really worth anything or you probably lost yourself respect like Hitler as once spoken today in my history class.
September 13, 2010 at 10:07 pm |
In my opinion human worth is not the same for everyone. I think everyone is always treated differently, sometimes because of what their actions are. But as society everyone doesnt treat eachother the same, everyone always has different attitude towards eachother. Mostly if you are a bad person no one will ever treat you with respect, but if you are kind and generous person you get more worth and respect.
September 13, 2010 at 10:39 pm |
I feel all human life is the same no one person is better than the other. Just beacuase one does something different with their life doesn’t mean they are better. Some people make wrong decisions but we all have the chance to something good.
September 13, 2010 at 10:51 pm |
As I said in class I believe human worth has the chance to be the same for everyone. Human worth is the value of an individual. For example, alethes are highly praised and the value for each of them is also high. In compairson to an civil rights activist like Malcolm X, his value was high because people praised him in a different way. What that individual has to offer to society often determines their net worth or human worth. So in most casses what you can contribute to society determines your human worth. In conclusion, human worth is not the same for everyone.
September 13, 2010 at 10:56 pm |
Well I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone because there are many humans who are raised in different environments. But also because in the world many humans have different personalities and behaviors. Some humans sit around and do nothing when they can have fun and explore the world. And some humans actually have fun and work hard enough to succed in life. I feel that human worth is not the same for everyone because we all make a different choice in what we believe is right. Human worth is different for everyone.
September 14, 2010 at 5:32 am |
I think human worth is not valuable to some people because some will agree on certain stuff and others will agree on another stuff. Like for example having to vote for a certain candidate to become governor, there are some who are supporting someone from the democratic side and some on the republican side. So not everyone has the same opinion on who or what they want. If its a decision you have to make globally it will be impossible to have everyone vote tfor the same thing because not on countries have the same thinking of ideas. So human worth can’t be something everyone can agree on, everyone has a different set of mind on things.
September 14, 2010 at 5:49 am |
I think that there is no point in human worth because in some point of everyones life they did have human worth if they don’t anymore. Some people might still have human worth but some people may not. I mean i know there are bad people in the world and they might not have human worth but in some point in life they did.
September 14, 2010 at 6:20 am |
Human Worth is the same for everyone, but the actions that are part taken within the person life can be in fluenced in different way. If someone did something wrong it is a question of “did they have human worth, or did they let it get away?” Not everyone is born perfect, but because they either did something wrong that is a matter of asking if they were ever real humans with right minds. doing the right thing like helping someone while they are in a struggle is an example of good human worth, but taking the life of someone else is saying, well you had human worth while you were a good person but now that you have done something wrong it taken away without questions about it.
September 14, 2010 at 6:55 am |
Well I believe that human worth is not the same for everyone because there are some humans who are raised in different environments. but also because in the world many humans have different personalities and behaviors. Some humans sit around and do nothing when they can have fun and explore the world. And some humans actually have fun and work hard enough to succed in life. I feel that human worth is not the same for everyone because we all make a different choice in what we believe is right. Human worth is different for everyone.
September 14, 2010 at 7:14 am |
Human worth is different for everyone because there is other people treating others unequally. There is still slavery out there. Every one has a different place in society, and some people are more important in the world.
September 14, 2010 at 12:11 pm |
I believe everybody has the same human worth. Everbody is born on this planet to do something to the community or to there selfs. Even if the thing the person did was bad I still think it would be destiny for that person to do it at the time he did. Everyone has equal value because everyone was giving life. It doesnt about the money someone has or the popularity. It matters who you love and who loves you. Living on this earth was a gift and our people should be thankful for it. I think the people take advantage of the world thats why we are facing problems with global warming and even our economy. If everybody helped out like we all should be doing the world would be fine and their childrens childrens can be living in a 100 years.
