<p>How is it black and white? There are so many cases in which justice in a complete field of gray. Abortion, manslaughter, the theoretical assassination of Hitler, etc.</p>
<p>I want to be a cardiovascular surgeon
or a princess</p>
<p>^^My perspective of justice has led me to the conclusion that abortion (at all stages) is wrong in all non-life-threatening scenarios. This was a pretty easy conclusion for me to reach, although harder to accept being taught my whole life to support women’s rights. </p>
<p>I don’t know what you’re trying to say about manslaughter and Hitler though.</p>
<p>You can always be both. 
EDIT: That was to nordic, ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Right. YOUR perspective of justice. Let’s take a further look at abortion. First off, what if it WAS a life-threatening situation? You can’t just neglect a true possibility. The moral debate in which the justification of an abortion stands on the fact that you’re killing another “life.” You might argue that it’s not justified because it’s killing a potential human life. Besides the old “in that case, masturbating is murder as well” argument, what if the non-aborted baby grew up to be a mass murderer? There are many moral standpoints (and possible scenarios) when you argue about justice, there’s no right and wrong. We simply force people to comply to the most popular perspective of justice. Take a read on The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.</p>
<p>Justice is subjective, as it has a different perspective from each individual. You can’t just say that your perspective is correct and others aren’t. If that was indeed the case, then as you have said, justice would simply be a black and white matter. Unfortunately, that is not the case, sorry.</p>
<p>Travel everywhere. Meet people from different walks of life. Help children all over the world. Essentially experience everything and go everywhere. Has anyone ever read the book The Beach? It’s a fantastic book, but anyways there’s a quote that says “Collecting memories, or experiences, was my primary goal when I first started traveling. I went about it in the same way as a stamp collector goes about collecting stamps, carrying around with me a mental list of all the things I had yet to do or see.” That’s what I want to do. Collect memories. </p>
<p>But then you run into that whole problem with having enough money to survive… So I’ll make some money through the stock market while I’m in college. Enough money to fund all my adventures. </p>
<p>Hahah, that’s my ideal fantasy.</p>
<p>
Wrong, wrong, right, assuming he had already begun murdering.</p>
<p>I’d like to point out that I didn’t just use “justice” broadly. I said social justice: “the idea of creating an egalitarian society or institution that is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being.” The rights in question I named: food, water, shelter, safety, health, self-actualizing work, freedom from political, economic, or cultural oppression. This is what I was referring to.</p>
<p>
Yes, you can say that. However, it does not make you right. The idea of rights as given by a deity may be challenged by those of differing religious convictions, but “God-given” is just a fall-back. Every sentient being (and every lifeform, to some extent) should be treated with the basic dignity of having its needs met whenever possible and being free of physical or metaphorical bonds, unless such freedom from such things would result in the further endangerment of the needs of other beings from the direct fault of the being in question.</p>
<p>
That’s a dumb argument. I really don’t want to get into it here because I have better things to do, but the basically the fertilized egg WILL lead to a specific person. Once you have the genetic combination and implantation than everything is in place. Not true with just a sperm cell. </p>
<p>
That doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Which is why I said “BESIDES the old … argument.” Because I was disregarding it. And saying one’s argument doesn’t matter is really a shallow rebuttal.</p>
<p>Get a PhD in Mathematics and a DMA in Music (I know I’m going to have to choose one or the other… but in a perfect world I’d like both). Become a professor, get married to a beautiful woman that I love, have kids, die happy.</p>
<p>You hit a nerve here:</p>
<p>
Abortion is a life threatening situation… You mean for the mother? Allow me to pose this question: If I was dying of heart failure, and doctors told me that your heart was the only match, could I then shoot you to take your heart and live? Well, obviously it’s physically possible, but would it fit your concept of justice? Can one human being end the life of an innocent human being (the unborn baby being more innocent of any crime than either of us) to save their own life? I think not.</p>
<p>
Not sure why life is in quotes here. Yes, it is a life-form, just as much as you or I. It has the biological characteristics of life, making it a living being. To suggest otherwise would be a ludicrous affront to science.</p>
<p>
It is not killing a potential human life. I have already factually established its status as a full living being, and it is also a fully human being. It has the DNA of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, and is thus as human as you or I. “Fetus” is merely a stage in life, a classification like “toddler,” “adolescent,” or “adult.” As geneticists have shown beyond doubt, a separate human being, distinct from mother and father, is created at conception. To suggest otherwise would be an affront to logic. An unborn human is neither inanimate nor of another species until born. The superstition that it is somehow less human if you can’t directly see it is ridiculous. And don’t try an argument from development, that fails on two counts: 1. If a certain stage of development is required for a human to gain rights, then there is no transition more clear than that of conception. 2. A fetus and a newborn infant are closer developmentally than that infant and an adult, yet the adult cannot legally kill the infant. Interestingly enough, murder of a pregnant woman is considered at least double murder by US courts.</p>
<p>
There is not a complete human being formed. Perhaps one might argue that it is wrong, given the cells’ potential, but it is not murder by any stretch. </p>
<p>
There is no way of knowing that in the womb. Further, people have a right to the determination of their own fate. This is a weak and desperate argument.</p>
<p>i want to be a strength coach for NFL players</p>

Who’s to say you have to choose?</p>
<p>Do you play a particular instrument, or is your interest in music that of a composer or appreciator?</p>
<p>^ I am a pianist, percussionist and composer. And the reason I’d have to choose is there are no dual enrollment DMA-PhD (Mathematics) programs that I know of, and I don’t want to be in school until I am in my 40s lol.</p>
<p>Well I guess I am a little different from you guys…</p>
<p>I want to become a very successful international business man, and to do that, I need to go to a good grad school.</p>
<p>Even though I am planning on going to my local flagship state school for undergrad (which will leave me in absolutely no debt), I want to go to a top, if not a great business school, meaning that it will cost a lot of money for me, and not just my parents.</p>
<p>Seeing that even today I am getting kind of bored of school, I was thinking of joining ROTC navy to pay for grad school (idk if this is possible)</p>
<p>Ultimately, I would love to become a navy seal, and maybe even get into the CIA. We can dream, right?</p>
<p>With my current logic, I would argue that you could save more people than a Doctor would ever accomplish in his lifetime; as in save millions of people. Maybe indirectly, and maybe even directly. Either way, I think it would be a good experience instead of experiencing the same day to day bullshyt commodities. Maybe I am just saying this because I am a second semester senior in highschool, but looks good to me.</p>
<p>This is not science fiction either, or is it the jason bourne trilogy, its path that anyone can realistically take. In a good amount of years, not only will you lead a normal life, but also lead it with all of the extra skills you learned.</p>
<p>I’d like to do something oriented around mental disorders and the brain in general, so I might end up pursuing a career in neurology or psychiatry. It would be intriguing to be able to do research and possibly discover effective treatment methods for some of the most common neurological diseases.</p>
<p>For me, basically everything is just a step in the process of having relations with very attractive women.
