Moreover, it is not difficult to minimally act in a situation, for it could end up saving a life. In an article called “The Duty to Rescue: A Reexamination and Proposal” Jay Silver explains how easily a bystander could help save a life stating, “For example, a child drowning in shallow water could not wait for help to be summoned, but might be saved by the immediate efforts of a bystander.” In this scenario a bystander could help save a drowning child's life by just providing basic personal assistance. Additionally, an article by Drive Safely named “Legislating Morality: Good Samaritan and Duty to Rescue Laws” depicts a story of a man who perished when others could have intervened and states, “Some wonder how Duty to Rescue laws would have changed the situation for a man who was recently killed as dozens of people watched him helplessly stuck on subway tracks for a full 22 seconds before…

Although saving others may seem like a priority, trying to save them all along with yourself will most likely add to the fatalities. People do not suddenly possess superhuman strength or invincibility when faced with a tragedy. In fact, many feel the opposite, as if they’re being stripped of all power they hold over themselves and whoever they are responsible for. In life or death situations, the only sensible thing to do is to save yourself. Though many may oppose, that contradictory ideology is shared…

The article is trying to reach out to the paramedics and to the people. When the people can not get help from the paramedics because they are too scared to come save someone life the people have to take matters into their own hands to save lives. For example, when people were getting shot the police was taking people in their police cars and regular people was taking injured people in their pickup…

The question being asked of us is if the US Constitution is still relevant in today’s world, and I do believe it is. The U.S constitution affects every single citizen living in the United States. The U.S constitution was written on September 17, 1787 and still is relevant to this day. The constitution was written more than one-hundred years ago but still effects the citizens every single day. Several reasons as to why I believe it is still relevant today is because the government works based off of the constitution which has given people rights, another reason is it makes us the United States of America citizens different than other countries, and lastly because without it our government would not be a functional system.…

Natural disasters, wrong-place-wrong time ordeals, and accidents take the brunt of accountability for putting people in life-or-death positions. “Usually, when people need to be rescued, it’s because something unexpected happened” (The Cost of Survival 127). When people need to be rescued from these unexpected circumstances, they should not be held accountable. The circumstance itself is accountable, and the victims cannot do anything to stop the unexpected.…
Many people take risks in their lives. The decisions people make in their lives can be life threatening. Several people have made the decision in their lives to scale the highest peak on this planet, Mount Everest. Of those people, only about 4,000 people have successfully climbed Mount Everest. If humans know Mount Everest is hazardous then why do they risk their lives for a personal goal? There are rescue services around the Mountain to help and or save them from their own decision. Rescue helicopters are expensive to operate and require a lot of skill to operate making these rescue services unreliable. People should not demand rescue services when they put themselves at risk.…
