The word sacrifice is defined as the act of forfeiting one thing for another thing considered to be of greater value. The theme of sacrifice is one that is exemplified throughout both Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, the story of a selfless hero, and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, which depicts the life of a woman in the 19th century. In these two plays, sacrifice takes many forms: the entity that is given up can be a something material, something physical, or even something abstract. Comparable examples of sacrifices can be seen in both plays, whether it be for love, for the happiness of others, or for pride.…

Genesis 1 teaches that our nature as humans is 'God Like.' In Genesis 1:26-28 'God said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Because we are in Gods image, (imago dei) we have some understanding of him (although it is argued this is limited). This is our human nature as we are the only creature who can do this. Imago dei also means that we are loving. In John 4:16 it is described that 'God is love',' which tells us that it is in our nature to love. We see this through our common characteristics such as compassion, patience, justice and faith. Being in Gods image also means we have a number of other characteristics. For example, we have a spiritual capacity, which means we are connected with God. This allows for the possibility of an afterlife, where it is thought we are reunited with god. This is also due to the soul which we have, unlike any other creature. This adds another dimension to our existence which is unique to mankind. Humans are often described as 'sacred,' which is why Lactantius argues that humans should never be sacrificed. This disregards theories such as Utilitarianism whom aim to please the greatest number. Lactantius argues we are all special and one persons happiness (or life) shouldn’t be sacrificed in the name of others'.…

Today cultures give life a value and meaning by accepting and enjoying it.…
