Punishment Vs. Deservingness Of Help

I agree with you that deservingness of punishment is different than deservingness of help. I feel like everyone deserves the right to be helped if they are in need. Helping others is a charitable act and it would be wrong to deny someone help just because they are poor. Like you, I believe that healthcare should be available to anyone because we are all created equal and deserve equal opportunities. The deservingness of punishment definitely has a lot of variables that go into play when determining the type of punishment that should be given. Different crimes deserve different punishment. For example, the severity and reasoning for committing a crime play a major role in determining the punishment. I feel that anyone who commits a crime deserves
to be punished in some sort of way. Lastly, I like that you pointed out that we are born into the deservingness of individual problems and social failures. We bring these problems upon ourselves and it is what we grow up hearing about. I enjoyed reading your post.
